  1. Understand your audience – Who are you talking to you? Why should the person listen to you? How would your conversation be if you were talking to that person face 2 face?

  4. Maintain a casual tone
  5. Avoid redundant & clichéd statement such as Today, it is always, it’s been known, we all know etc.

Being in digital marketing for the last 10 years, I get a lot of queries from fresh graduates on how to start their career in this domain. This post is for them. This is how I think about digital marketing.  The first step is to understand that digital marketing is not a radically new discipline but an extension of traditional marketing.

It is interesting how the pandemic has shifted our attention from the trivia of on-demand entertainment and moved it to things that matter most. For me, a stimulating conversation matters most. A conversation where both parties present opposing point of views and have the courage, humility, and open-mindedness to change or at least think from others ‘point of view’.
