Question
The concept of empathy and service in marketing strategies, as discussed in "This is Marketing", is about understanding the needs and wants of the customer and serving those needs effectively. It's about creating a connection with the customer, understanding their perspective, and providing solutions that meet their needs. This approach is more effective than traditional marketing strategies because it builds trust and loyalty, leading to long-term customer relationships. It's not just about selling a product or service, but about making a positive impact on the customer's life.

Finding the right advertising strategy can be difficult. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try, just be aware of what you are doing and why. Brand marketing—like putting a billboard at the side of the road for Absolut vodka—has been used for generations. It has its place, but you need to be patient as you can't really measure its effectiveness. Direct marketing, like creating a Facebook ad, is different. It's easy to get the word out online—you can reach people quickly, you can target those people more precisely than with any other medium, and you can measure everything. The internet is a key part of marketing today. It feels like a vast, free playground, and it's certainly the largest medium; but it's also the smallest one, made up of a billion tiny whispers.
