Mobile World Congress Returns with Hybrid Event

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes After 2020, the C-suite and boardroom are forced to re-examine their technology stacks to stay competitive, optimizing for more distributed workforces and customers, exponentially growing data sources, and adjusting to their customers’ ever-rising expectations for personalized services and experiences. Attendees of Mobile World Congress (MWC), one of the world’s biggest trade shows held between June 28-July 1, 2021, were no exception.

COVID-19 Transformed the Marketing Ps to Es

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes The “4 P’s of Marketing” concept feels almost as old as marketing itself, harkening back to a simpler time when chalkboards were a marketing professor’s primary communication tool and virtual classrooms sounded like an impossibility. The world – at large as well as from a marketing standpoint – has changed. After undergoing a seismic shift that propelled both buyers and sellers to a digital-first world, marketers have instead adopted the four E’s, an updated mnemonic device that encapsulates how brands need to approach marketing from this point on.
