BBF145: Why your Marketing is Failing with Murray Jess

In an age where digital reigns supreme, it’s easy to be swamped by all of the options out there. This week we have Murray Jess on the show – a man who can cut through all of the noise and help you focus your marketing efforts.

Murray is the manager and managing director of Zoo Republic, a top Sydney marketing agency that has worked with the best of the best, including Coca Cola and Cannon.

Check out his no-nonsense marketing tips:

**  Fragmentation allows you to understand customers better.

** Always be clear on your proposition.

** Take time to step back from your day to day. What are you REALLY offering?

** Work out your marketplace, understand their pain points and make sure your brand actually solves them.

** Open up dialogue with your customers where possible. Feedback is vital.

** Don’t forget that human beings are still driving digital marketing. The principles of message, trust and delivery are still the same across each digital marketing medium.
