Quote
COVID did not cause any of the big changes we’re seeing now, but merely accelerated them because they were already happening. The single biggest and most important development in marketing in the last 20-30 years is the ability of consumers to interact with the brands. Consumers are no longer passive recipients of brand messages – they are actively taking control over what they buy, where it comes from, and how they get it.
Michael Solomon
Many brands have a great story but don’t tell it because they think people don’t care. However, that isn’t the case today – people are interested in hearing the story behind brands. Entrepreneurs have the advantage of being part of the founder’s story, which can really resonate with people. People love hearing about the two sisters who couldnāt find a gentle enough baby soap, so they invented their own in their garage, for example. That’s the kind of thing that really resonates with people today.
