95% of all decisions are made in the unconscious mind.

Emotions drive our decision-making.
Brands don’t need to fight for attention.
They need to understand how people choose, identify with, and connect with
companies.
What influences how, why, and who we buy from?
A consumer behavior analyst understands how communities work and what values
they hold — their rituals, hierarchies, beliefs, values, and conflict resolution
patterns. They make connections between behaviors and culture and can
identify sub-sets of cultures.

individuality.”- FAITH POPCORN
People want personalized, relevant messages at the RIGHT time.
And brands need scale.
CREATIVITY +
TECHNOLOGY =
the Marketing Unicorn
A marketing technologist uses data and customer information to inform the creation of brand stories, information, and visuals to

CONTENT PROMOTION

In 2014, brands realized …
Advertising is Content.
Content is Advertising.
Production went up.
Readers’ time and attention did not.
Social media platforms want brands to pay to play.
A coordinated campaign tied to an ebook or content offer generates 72% more leads
than a non-coordinated campaign.

And promotion requires knowledge of all the options.

A content promoter thinks beyond creating one blog post or visual. This person
considers how a piece of content can create a major impact, how to package it, and what
platform or audience would be most interested in it. The skill requires deep
knowledge of content promotion platforms, social media, and targeting.

…Unless they are tied to GROWTH.
A growth hacker understands the product and distribution channels available, then use non-traditional marketing methods to achieve growth — typically in the form of
users for software platforms. Airbnb, Dropbox, Spotify, and Mailbox all used
growth techniques to make their brands household names.

from mobile advertising
But mobile is a black hole for advertisers.
Tracking cookies don’t work.
No proof of ROI.
Brands can’t see a consumer’s movements across channels and devices.
New technologies (like Facebook’s Atlas) are changing this.
Which means brands can finally understand the value of mobile advertising
and invest in the right channels.
A mobile marketer understands how to tailor and execute campaigns that reach users on their personal devices. This is about more
than memorizing the ad unit sizes on a mobile device. Practitioners need to
leverage mobile games, apps, promotions, and online commerce to create an
experience or solve a specific need.
