Marketing is about the choices you choose to make.

The latest issue of my newsletter The Built Environment Marketing Round-Up is out. And it's about making strategic networking choices, specifically how I picked between a marketing conference full of familiar faces versus a more corporate event.

Ep 94: Communicating your value: lessons learned from 25 years in marketing | Built Environment Marketing Stop competing on price. Learn how to articulate your real value in the built environment with the Value Framework: expertise, experience, and network.

The first step is to acknowledge that you're underselling yourself and your worth and the next step is to pull those socks up and get on demonstrating your value and fixing it. It's something I'm working through myself too.

Take a listen here www.abbasmarketing.com/marketing-po...

Enjoy.

I know way too many talented people and companies in the built environment who don't recognise their value, and I'm on a bit of a mission to remedy this.

Do take a listen to my podcast episode that's out today, on communicating your value.

This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like | Carole Cadwalladr | TED YouTube video by TED

So today I found out that my TED talk β€˜This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase β€˜There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is β€˜The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

My podcast today is about marketing funnels and why we're going against the grain of the bro gurus and 'one size fits all' marketing coaches who want people to believe that we ALL buy in a linear fashion. My guest is Anna O'Riordan.

Content doesn't have to be hard or overthought. I've always been an ideas' person, so it was fun to conjure up my Loved, Learned, Laughed mini-interview series when I went to UKREiiF in May.

Micro-interviews recorded on mini mics and shot on my mobile phone.
