Snoop Dogg's Genius Move Joining LinkedIn for Personal Branding
Snoop Dogg's decision to join LinkedIn is a strategic move to diversify his brand and master the business side of his career. By being on LinkedIn, Snoop Dogg can connect with investors, potential sponsors, and business professionals who can help him in his journey. LinkedIn offers a segmented audience of business professionals, unlike platforms like TikTok. This move highlights the importance of building a personal brand beyond one's career and the need to stay relevant by pivoting to new platforms. LinkedIn also provides opportunities for thought leadership and speaking engagements at conferences, making it an ideal platform for Snoop Dogg's long-term goals.
The Surprising Growth of Out-of-Home Advertising
Contrary to initial surprise, there is a predicted 7% increase in out-of-home advertising as people increasingly return to offices, commute, and engage in hobbies post-pandemic. Out-of-home ads not only have the potential to go viral on social media but also offer opportunities to reach audiences in physical locations where they are currently active. By focusing on being where the audience is going, brands can stay top of mind and differentiate themselves from their competitors. The rise of digital billboards and the creative use of 3D billboards further enhances the impact and potential effectiveness of out-of-home advertising.
The Power of Humor in Marketing Campaigns
A study conducted by Oracle reveals that 90% of funny ads are remembered, yet only 20% of marketers use humor in their campaigns. This surprising statistic highlights the missed opportunity and effectiveness of humor in marketing. Funny ads have proven to relate well to customers, increasing brand retention and engagement. Humor is a powerful emotion that resonates with people and has the potential to go viral, leading to increased brand visibility. While humor may not be suitable for every brand, incorporating it in campaigns, such as through subject lines or social media posts, can have a significant impact on open rates and customer engagement.
