It was a professional virtual chat, but when it came to renowned digital marketer Mark Schaefer<\/a>, the tone of the exchange was infused with warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author of the book Marketing Rebellion<\/a><\/strong> is charismatic by nature, expressive, entertaining, and approachable. For Sagrado professor Celeste Mart\u00ednez<\/a>, the prominent international speaker and business consultant is \u201ca rebel with a cause.\u201d In fact, this is how she presented him to her students of the Master\u2019s degree in Digital Marketing<\/a> during the chat she organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarketing can breed friendships. I am here and I will be here because you are my friend – referring to the teacher – and you did it,\u201d said the author of other publications, such as KNOWN, Social Media Explained, Return on Influence, Born to Blog, The Content Code and The Tao of Twitter, which are assigned reading in more than 50 universities around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Rutgers University professor explained, today\u2019s consumers are different from those of the past<\/strong>. \u201cThey now have all the information they need about their products and the manufacturers in the palm of their hand. They can make good decisions,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schaefer strays from the traditional discourse of many in the business, who aim at so-called consumer manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsumers must be listened to, respected, believed, and build human relationships with them. They do not have to be manipulated. That\u2019s history. Currently, the narrative behind brands is very important. The story of each product is important,\u201d he expressed when answering questions from the audience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On other topics, he made it clear that a marketing campaign via email is still more efficient than one on social media.<\/strong> \u201cIt can be powerful and free, since it doesn’t have to abide by the rules of the platforms. Organically creating your mailing list is effective,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, he stressed that at present, global brands with successful campaigns develop close and emotional human histories with their consumers.<\/strong> He cited the strategies used by firms like Adidas and Nike during these times of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the creator of the {grow} blog<\/a>, marketing goes beyond selling something.<\/strong> \u201cIt is creating a great emotional connection with people, helping them, listening to them, treating them as what they are: human,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schaefer spoke about the use of apps by big brands and assured that influencer marketing is just beginning and will continue on the rise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guest praised the quality of the questions from the students, whom he hopes to meet as soon as he can travel to Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For these Sagrado graduate students, coming into contact with someone as renowned as Schaefer was a huge privilege.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
