Mastering the Algorithm:
I graduated from high school the year the iPhone came out. And on my first day of college, my mass communications professor began his lecture with, “Congratulations, mass communications is dead. Everyone has their own channels now. Good Luck.” These two moments defined how I’ve approached marketing since my first day on the job.
In a world where there are no more gatekeepers of information, where everyone has their own algorithm and hyper-customized web experience, it’s more important than ever to consider multiple target audiences and the communications preferences each one has for your brand or cause.
