From Action to Engagement: The Call2Action Button Comes of Age
Call to actions are an integral part of all websites, over the years these little buttons or tabs urging a website visitor to act on the website, disclosing their interest and intent have moved from a basic ‘click here for more info’ or ‘contact us’ to tabs that are designed to engage a visitor.
The most significant change has been the adaption of C2As across all types of marketing collateral, the C2A buttons today can be seen on emails, videos, online brochures etc.
Today C2As are not just tabs that ask a visitor to act, but are key to providing an insight into the frame of mind of a prospect on the site. If used appropriately, C2As can become the perfect lead generation tools that help in engaging and converting a visitor.

This post is a tribute to one of the greatest visionaries of our times, a revolutionary who changed the way people experience technology today – Steve Jobs.

Breaking the Marketing Manipulation Madness Model
From creativity and enabling technology, we’ve come up with all sorts of tricks and tools to perpetuate a marketing manipulation madness (MMM) that no longer works. In our quest for @ttention and immediate gratification, there’s a trail of junk littering the Information Superhighway. Pop-up adds hoping to get us to hand over our money.

Complicated user interfaces and commerce platforms that serve the vendor need to sell but not the buyer need to buy what we need.
Content Curation Best Practices
he proliferation of the Internet has transformed the way we create, publish and distribute content. Think about the pre-Internet era when companies were at the mercy of content publishers for distribution of content, and where consumers had very few options and meager resources for information gathering. Today, the situation is exactly the opposite. The Internet has made a publisher of each one of us. We now have a problem of plenty – there is too much information available for consumers but it is scattered across the web in different forms, across social networks, and in different languages. And now the new challenge for marketers is to make themselves visible to their consumers in this information deluge.
So how does one handle this information overload and how do B2B marketers compete to stay on the top of search results, in this continuous flood of content that will only increase by the day? One new tactic that is gaining popularity in recent years is that of Content Curation.

Marketing Automation Is No Genie In A Lamp!
personally think that like, charity, good manners etc. even a good purchase decision begins at home or in this case within your company.
Apart from clarity on the problem at hand and the possible solutions that will help resolve it, it is important to understand how adaptive your company and your resources would be to a solution.

In this post I would like to discuss, which kinds of companies or CMOs should never opt for a marketing automation solution….because for them, it would be both a waste time and money. If you think your company identifies itself with any of the below mentioned mindset descriptions, then maybe its time you gave up on even considering buying a marketing automation solution, unless of course you decide to change your outlook.
Inbound or Outbound – When It Really Matters
