• To achieve success, you have to stop talking about yourself and start talking about the audience you’re trying to reach.
• Marketers need to be able to respond to things quickly. If you aren’t watching, observing and reacting, you aren’t doing your job.
• Your content needs to tell a story and emotionally connect with your audience. If you aren’t storytelling and connecting with them your content won’t resonate
