Quotes:
(7:53-8:15) “Data is seeping away from our hands as mobile marketers, and we need to try to use other tricks, you could say, in crafting better market. I think as it stands right now, the role of better branding and positioning for each product is going to take a more prominent role.”
(9:13-9:40) “How do you make your choice? I think a lot of people feel that they make their choices very rationally, and I think they’re wrong. It’s not usually the case. There’s a lot of subconscious force that’s driving you into making these decisions. And this is where well-crafted messaging and correct branding can change your bottom-line metrics.”
