Expert throws light on future of marketing

Michael Leander Nielsen, world-renowned speaker and consultant was in Hyderabad for an exclusive guest lecture on social cool or social fool and six other factors that affect the future of marketing. For an audience of MBA and PhD students, Michael highlighted that the corporates do not understand the basics of social media marketing with the fallacy lying in objectives’ designing of the campaign. He also added that we cannot be media specialists, and integrating all channels is a necessity.

He shared the nuances of social media marketing by saying that it is a picture economy and the picture that drives marketing should generally stir an emotion and should contain the Unique Selling Point (USP). He added that there is a misconception that getting likes on Facebook is the most desired objective. However, what is important is that the marketers get shares, comments and the tone of voice.

Michael also gave a different perspective to online digital strategy and highlighted that discovering the purpose or the problem leads to the correct strategy.

Director of IBS, Hyderabad, Prof. G Narasimha said Michael Leander’s lecture was packed with powerful insights into social media marketing and was the best way to maximize the digital exposure in today’s world. Maverick- the Official Marketing Club of IBS Hyderabad helps the institute by organising these types of events and continuously works for the all-round development of students and the institute as a whole.”

Hyderabad to host HITEX machine tool expo from Aug 23

HYDERABAD, AUG. 9:
Machine tool and engineering industry is poised for growth with small and medium enterprises playing a big role, according to players in the industry.
