What is Sustainable Marketing?

The term "sustainability" encompasses a wide range of concepts. It began with a desire to protect the environment and has since expanded to include issues of gender, race, poverty, mental health, and other subjects. It's a sustainability issue if it concerns the plight of humans or the environment.

You guessed it right, sustainable marketing considers all of the issues we discussed earlier and attempts to help resolve some of them. A good product is no longer sufficient to win consumer's favour. Customers were looking for products that were not only of high quality but also aligned with their values. In essence, the concept of sustainable marketing states that an organisation should meet the needs of current customers without endangering future generations' ability to fulfil their own needs.

Everything you need to know about In-Podcast Advertising

It seems like everyone is starting a podcast these days, and there is a good reason for it. Not only can running a podcast be therapeutic, but with the proper advertising, it can also be very lucrative.

According to Statista, the number of people who listen to podcasts has more than doubled in the previous ten years, with no indications of slowing down. When traditional marketing channels are becoming less effective, podcast advertising provides a viable marketing channel for advertisers. Podcast advertising is appealing since it allows advertisers to reach out to a growing audience. Podcast listeners are typically interested in the content and listen attentively, making it a very successful tool for marketers to communicate with their audience.

Growing Organically: How we took Oaktree Garden Centre’s Instagram from 200 Followers to 7000!

Social Media isn’t new; creating a successful brand online in 2021 means you need to differ from others, especially without spending money on running advertisements across social channels.

For many business owners who didn’t grow up with social media, iPhones or digital algorithms, navigating the social media landscape can seem like a daunting task. Even for myself, who saw the digital explosion in his late teens, things change at such a rate that it can be challenging to stay on top of ‘what’s trending'.

Apple’s iOS 14.5 Presents a New Opportunity

If you stay up to date with the latest tech news or have spent time reading our blogs in the past, it won't be news to you that Apple & Facebook are at war with each other over your privacy.

While this may seem like a surface-level confrontation, as it's played out in the media through statements and newspaper ads (click here to read more on that), the ramifications for marketers could be a lot bigger.

Last week Apple finally released iOS 14.5 with this update Apple is asking users if apps like Facebook can track you for ad purposes and selling your data. This means is that all businesses must now request users gives permission to their unique identifier for advertising, otherwise know as IDFA. It was estimated that a whopping 80% of users would opt-out of tracking across apps on the iPhone, since the update went live last week we are now seeing estimated figures as high as 96%. This figure might have you worried but it shouldn't, part of our job has always been adapting to changes. If you have worked in marketing for a while you will already be used to Facebooks constant changing policies that have implications across your ads, while this is a bigger change, it’s no different to the changing landscape you are used to.

You may have seen over the last few days that UNBXD has helped RUKA hair bring to life their vision for a virtual launch event. We are excited to announce that you can now visit the event yourself AND we have been featured in Forbes!

With that option off the table, we were tasked to build something outside the box (no pun intended).

Is Social Commerce the next big shift in Marketing?

The third quarter is usually retailers’ golden-hour; record profits, footfall and e-commerce sales have become the expected norm. 2020 marks a historic change.

Whilst we don’t want to start this off negatively, certain realities are hitting the commerce world. Footfall is down, spending is down year over year, and with so many people already out of work with a second wave coming, it doesn’t look like this Christmas is going to be anything like normal.

5 Ways How to Build a Strong Brand

Nike, Apple, Gymshark, Cadburys. For better or worse, these are the brands we hear about or acknowledge through advertising on a daily bases, but why?

It might feel like everyone and their pet now has a drop-ship store, and that’s probably true; the market is full of them

So why do so many people say it’s a bad idea to open one? 90% of drop-ship stores fail in their first month, over 92% fail in the first six months and around 5% make it to their first year. People think that it will be a quick and easy way to get a few extra pennies a the end of the month, but it's not. It requires the same hard work and dedication any other business would take.
