Quick takeaways
Marketing becomes even more important as technology access becomes easier, as it differentiates brands based on messaging and value proposition.
Influencers and creators are essentially marketers, as they research their audience, tell stories, and improve based on feedback.
Deep dives
AI and commoditization of software
AI is democratizing technology access, making it easier than ever to build software and create lightweight web applications. With this commoditization, marketing becomes even more important as it differentiates brands based on messaging and value proposition, rather than the core product itself.
Marketing as the most important function
Marketing is no longer confined to the 'kids' table' of business but has become increasingly powerful. As buying software becomes more automated and software products become commoditized, marketing has a greater impact on the success of businesses. For example, brands like Liquid Death differentiate and market themselves to great success despite offering a highly commoditized product like water.
Creators as marketers
Influencers and creators are essentially marketers, as they research their audience, tell stories, and improve based on feedback. The distinction between influencers and marketers is unnecessary, as they both focus on marketing their own brand and products. This shift toward creators as marketers is evident in the rise of the influencer industry, with millions of influencers across various platforms.
Marketing's role in the customer journey
Marketing is increasingly taking charge of more stages of the customer journey, as automation allows for one-to-many interactions. Marketers excel at creating personalized experiences at scale and are in a position to automate interactions post-purchase. This shift in marketing's scope means that marketing becomes a vital function in growing a business and plays a prominent role throughout the customer journey.
