Just because you're in a specific industry, doesn't mean you should get marketing inspo from that industry. In fact... I'd recommend you don't look at other brands in your industry, or you'll blend in with everyone else. Thought about this after a conversation yesterday with Michelle Wong about where we get our inspo as tech/security/B2B marketers. I realized I listed off an NFL team, cereal brand, NPS, car insurance, and various illustrative comics... but not a single tech/security brand. And I'm still not sure I could name a tech/security brand that inspires me 😅 Can you? #MSP #managedservices #techmarketing
I actually have something in the works in this industry and we have gone completely in a different direction lol But if I was looking at a brand in the space that does a good job baking in their mascot etc... it would be Rewst.
Amanda Smith totally! Great chat yesterday, it was really a lightbulb moment for me this week about taking inspiration from other industries outside of tech/IT/B2B - just the social accounts that I personally follow and enjoy 😄 I guess the key is to take the inspo and make it your own. As for tech brands, obviously I follow Phin Security 🎣 So glad I reached out to you!
You're suuuuper lucky to work at a brand that LETS you do fun marketing. I wish they all knew it works haha
Good insight

3wThat's the way to do it!!! If you do what everyone else is doing, you'll blend into the woodwork! That's why I do things a little differently than most! 🤣
