Brands, marketing and the hole in the board
With more and more brands sending more and more advertising messages daily, consumers are increasingly switching off. With approximately 5.000 advertising messages being presented to us every day, this is hardly surprising. Brands are loosing their relevance and trust at alarming rates. Besides the sheer amount of ads, the content is a major reason for this development. Many brands aim to differentiate themselves from their competitors, but forget about people's needs. Brands need to deliver value, solve problems and enable people: People want the hole in the board and not the power drill.
