Red clown: “I lost my coin.”.

Author: Sesame Mish The scene: interior, daytime, Milan. Two empty mint green dining chairs sit next to each other. Pale sunlight bounces off the 1950s-era silver napkin dispenser on a square blue table. An old jukebox featuring classic Italian crooners leans against the wood-paneled wall next to a pair of pinball machines. The pink speckles on the floor match the pink sugar packets, each of which is labeled in elegant cursive with the name: Bar Luce.

Author: Dayna Rothman When one real estate firm employee’s daily grind became too saturated with routine, he decided to take matters into his own hands.What did he do to snap out of his routine?

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

As marketers, we focus a lot of our time and attention on outside audiences, which makes sense. We’re trying to get people to buy what we sell. We want them to get to know us, like us, talk about us and think what we sell is a good idea. There’s so much going on with audiences on the outside, that there’s little time left to think about our employees.

For companies to make the transition from telling stories to creating brand experiences, they have to focus on the power of amplifying the essence of their brand story.

Thought leadership is a common approach for companies wanting to establish credibility within their industry and stand apart from the crowd — and for good reason. It’s true that thought leaders tend to be the most successful professionals in their fields, and because of this, have more influence over their audience.

Any retailer knows the supreme importance of the in-store visitor. It doesn’t matter by what means they were brought into the establishment (short of asking to use the bathroom); once they are inside they are a retailer’s best bet for an immediate sale and continuing patronage. The in-store shopper’s experience must be pleasant and convenient. They must be acknowledged immediately, not left to wander around on their own and then wander out again.
