Successful marketing relies on three essential core skill sets:
Creativity
– Engaging visuals, compelling writing, captivating videos, and immersive sound design.
Psychology
– Strategic messaging, persuasive copy, and the art of influence through color, sound, and emotion.
Technology
– Websites, AI, digital ads, social media, servers, and the ever-evolving digital landscape.
While creativity and psychology have always been essential, technology is the driving force that constantly evolves. As new advancements emerge, marketing must stay ahead, making deep technical expertise more critical than ever and the need for deep technical know-how cannot be overstated.
