1- Be relevant, be consistent.

2- There is no evasion of using technology. Consumers move much faster than brands do, so you adapt or you die.
3- Add value.. no one uses a product for just brand love anymore.
4- Don’t follow the herd, do what your business needs.. We are not in time of fluff.
5- Good marketing shouldn’t really feel like marketing, is a seamless extension to a consumer’s life.
