I wonder who will win this year’s Small Business Influencer awards. It is always inspiring to see success stories and to learn from what they have done.
Maybe the first mega billion dollar startup. Historical 30 year decline in traditional media mogul empires paint the picture. Dizzy outdoor media madness inrages community activists. Informational ovèrload shuts outs consumer awareness at best. Fighting in the mobile jungle is roaring up the only tree in the zoo. Retailers are are caught in a web with a few billion other spiders. Present tech takes you on joy ride and can leave you stranded on the other side of the globe if you do not know the territory. All the signs point to a the need of a monumental change. Engageing the consumer where they are, with what they want and need when they need it is what everyone wants. This is a giant request. An even bigger task than what many think is possibe. This is a monumental fix we have found ourselves in. This requires a paradigm shift in marketing. Welcome to monumental display. Where simple math does not lie. Link to us on Linkedin by Larry Erb
