Let's address the marketing titan: Word of Mouth. I'm open to alternate viewpoints!
Keep this in mind: ultimately, people trust people. That's the raw truth. It's not about the flashy ads or the clever social media campaigns. It's about the genuine, personal experiences shared among friends, colleagues, and family. These heartfelt conversations, recommendations, and endorsements are the driving force behind successful brands.
Consider this: 92% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know over any other form of advertising. That's the influence of Word of Mouth. It's organic, it's trusted, and it's powerful. That's why it remains at the core of marketing strategies for businesses, large and small.

1moLOVE THIS. I'm such a huge believe in pushing the envelope a little bit. People are done watching boring ads and want content that's going to move them. Whether thats laughing, smiling, tugging on their heart strings or...maybe offending them a little hah. Call those cohorts out!
