More and more I'm seeing how the digital marketing world is honing in on the end-user. Personalised marketing strategies, and optimised funnels taking the cake in the recent couple of years. This article is a really interesting read on how businesses can start to leverage the latest digital marketing developments to tailor the user experience.

Checkers 60Sixty UI on the App is looking FRESH in the updated version. In my honest opinion, an excellent user experience makes for excellent customer engagement, and an increase in return of course. These stats say it all: “Companies make 60% more money when they focus on their customers. Almost all customers (96%) stay loyal because of good service. Returning customers spend 67% more than new ones. Customers who feel connected to a brand are worth 306% more over their lifetime.” https://lnkd.in/d-5ysvDM Checkers Food Services really is better and better. I’d opt for their Discovery Limited kick back over competitors for sure 👌🏼 ShopriteX

Marketing… “Our job is to connect to people, to interact with them in a way that leaves them better than we found them, more able to get where they’d like to go.” - Seth Godin I love it when a quote hits me in the chest with the words that sum up an “essence” or a feeling. When I read this quote, and have been listening to Seth Godin’s podcast, it’s just a yes! The solutions and products we build are not just a means to an end, so that we have a job, or so that we can retire well. They are for people, for us to genuinely care about people and then to solve a real thing for them. #digitalmarketing #contentmarketing #morethanajob

We hear about entrepreneurial success all the time, but failure is often where a lot of important growth happens. What’s one entrepreneurial flop that’s shaped your journey? #entrepreneurmindset #entrepreneurialsuccess #failingforward #growthmindset

Problem solving, contextual decision-making and emotional intelligence are some of the things humans do that machines can’t. How do you think we can all keep the flicker of human importance in the working world alive? My view is that tech is an amazing tool that we should absolutely use with wisdom and discernment. It has the ability to free us up to do even more wonderful and amazing things as only we can do. #ai #tech #criticalskills #criticalthinking

Automation has been around for years already, but businesses could survive without it and still thrive. The reality is that, automation saves time, saves resources and essentially puts the skills of people in a space of growth and development. If businesses are digitalised, I think they'll do well... if not, then they at least should be adaptable to the digital transformation around them that really is inevitable. Innovation is key? What do you think? 🔑 #digitaltransformation #automation #proteadigital #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing

I've been building this new site in the most amazing way... see my strategy for it below. Usually, I'd create it in a weekend and pop everything up for you all to see and browse... BUT this time, I've taken my time to really sit on it, process it and make sure it's everything I hoped for and more! Building your own website, creating social media content for your own business and really doing anything creative for something you own is a bit tougher than doing it for someone else's. I can't always see my own blind spots, and it's difficult to ever believe it's 100% perfect - it's like when an author feels the need to ever-edit a book and it never gets published. SO, I will publish this soon and have loved the process of being extra attentive and intentional about every aspect of it - as if I were building it for a client. It's coming so so soooooo soon... in the meantime you can join the mailing list and be the first to benefit from free gifts (some tangible!) and other specials on launch. Automation really is a huge part of the future of business! I hope to share that with you soon. #newwebsite #proteadigital #contentcreation #digitalbusiness

In a digital marketplace, entrepreneurs need digital skills more than ever. Social media management is not just “admin” there’s strategy, thought and data behind it. You can’t just settle for a copycat strategy and posting content for the sake of it either. If you’re ready to actually shift your business’ future… let’s chat 🫶🏼 #entrepreneurship #startup #digitalmarketing #contentmarketing #businessbudget #innovation

Nothing beats receiving a certificate for finishing a course! I've been speaking so much about opening up the educational arm of my business Protea Digital. This is the course that made it possible for me to offer extensive training, coupled together with coaching (where needed for my clients). It's been the most extensive, and reasonably priced course I've done on digital marketing and running a business online. Super practical and incredibly up-to-date.
