#EurekaMoment 23: There is no external communications without internal communications

April 16, 2020 No Comments
Not a few companies I have worked with were looking for help with their marcom capacity, but for these organisations, they did not realise that they first have to resolve a fundamental lack of healthy internal communications. Because without internal communications, you do not have external communications. Read more

Companies are increasing dedicating the majority of their marcom budget to digital.

#EurekaMoment 20: Why Content is King

March 7, 2020 No Comments
Content is such a marketeer jargon. Content used to mean things in a container like a jar. But for the lack of a better word – and unfortunately so – it is currently the umbrella term used to describe any form of written, verbal, visual and audio material that carries meaning, emotions, information in the vehicle of any form of digital or physical channel of communications.

#EurekaMoment 18: Mapping is the Foundation of your Outreach Strategy

February 28, 2020 No Comments
Many communicators and marketeers are now adept in harnessing the prowess of digital channels. From content production to measuring reach and engagements, we tend to be really excited and jump right into it. But what if your assumptions have not been as accurate as it could be? Why is it that some of your outreach efforts did not produce the results you have anticipated? By the time we figure it out, we would have wasted precious time and resources, and will most likely have to start from scratch.

#EurekaMoment 17: Emotions are universal, values are not

December 1, 2019 No Comments

November 11, 2018 No Comments
Recently, Google celebrated 20 years of Google Search, and I attended its anniversary event in Brussels. The event was jointly organised with Edima, ESBA, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Allied for Startups.

What was not advertised about the event but of huge interest to SEO experts around the world, was the presentation by Pandu Nayak, Google Fellow and Vice President of Search. As part of Google’s core Search leadership team, Pandu Nayak is in charge of ranking.

#EurekaMoment 16: How to improve the impact of your content marketing

November 5, 2017 No Comments
The word “content” has become so ubiquitous these days, that it somehow sounds so platitudinous and lack of meaning. “Content” used to mean anything you put into an empty vessel, or anything that fills up the void in a container, such a jug or a tank. “Content” used to mean something positive too, such as a great piece of writing, that is imbued with wit, creativity, reflection, purpose or admirable aspirations.
