Main Takeaways
- Take risks with imaginative marketing ideas - be willing to fail and learn from creative campaigns that may not succeed. Staying safe and playing it safe leads to boring content.
- Build an innovative culture by involving your team in the creative process. Get buy-in from leadership to empower everyone to suggest and implement bold ideas. Develop consistent branding through all channels: email, text, and social media
- Connect authentically with your community through local partnerships and involvement. Supporting local businesses can build goodwill and engage more people, but it needs to align with your brand's message and culture.
- Use PRIME methodology - Make content Personal, Relevant/Relatable, Informative, Memorable, and Engaging
