As marketers, we are always hearing about how everything is changing. The latest disruptor in the industry is AI, and for many of us this means learning new skills and new ways to do things.
But some things stay the same because they're basic truths. In marketing, we can think of a few of these:
Customers care about what a product or service will be able to do for their lives, not necessarily how it works (or the features)
Being able to build a relationship with a customer takes longer than just selling to them, but it's worth the investment
Adding fun, info or inspiration to your marketing is a sure way to boost your marketing content
