The Innovation Explosion - digital marketing that creates impact.
Updated: Oct 24, 2022
Businesses and consumers are being swamped by a stampede of innovation - from the eruption of 25,000 SaaS solutions, to an Ai market with a growth rate of 54% year on year and aerospace sectors moving at a pace of 7.7% annual growth.
What does this mean for innovation businesses?
Let’s face up to the fact that our world is evolving at speed around us - whether it be new hydrogen fuel cell technology, Ai navigated E-VTOLS, or SaaS that can transform the sales mechanics of an organisation. The simple truth is that the market isn't just finite: it's saturated. And so are we. The human brain is thought to be processing 34 Gigabyte of information each day - that’s a shocking amount of data…how much of it do we really absorb?
Ask yourself this question- why should anyone listen to you when there is already an ocean of innovation noise out there?
What are audiences feeling right now?
Overwhelmed, whether it be web3, NFTs, blockchain, the hydrogen fuel cell, Ai, 3D sound, VR, SaaS overload or the Metaverse… that’s a whole lot of innovating
Short on ti
me… there is a huge shift happening, how to keep up when decision makers are already running 100mph
Lack of trust, there are so many innovations happening, who do you trust and put your faith in?
Enter… The Guide
We all have something in common - we can all relate to leaning on a key figure in our lives that act as our rol
e model. They become our guide, delivering a trusted source of information, whom we respect, associate with and feel as though ‘they get us’. It could be an old manager, a family member, a friend or a teacher. These people in our lives have helped us to short-cut the challenges and get us to where we need to be.
There is an ocean of innovation swallowing audiences whole. Stop and think… ‘customer centric’. Pivot your messaging to how your business can become the trusted voice and the guide that audiences turn to, helping to navigate the path ahead.
