Cookieless tracking refers to methods of measuring user behaviour and campaign performance without relying on third-party cookies stored in a browser. It covers a range of approaches including first-party data collection, server-side tracking, privacy-preserving APIs, and probabilistic modelling. The shift matters because third-party cookies are being phased out across major browsers, and marketers who built…
Market strategy and planning is the process of deciding where to compete, who to compete for, and how to win, before spending a single pound on execution. Done well, it aligns your commercial objectives with your customer reality and gives every team, from product to media buying, a shared direction. Done poorly, it produces a…
The competitive intelligence industry sells clarity. What it often delivers is volume. Understanding the difference between the two is one of the most commercially important distinctions a senior marketer can make, because the gap between raw competitor data and actionable strategic insight is where most CI programmes quietly fail. Competitive intelligence, as an industry, encompasses…
Customer experience orchestration is the practice of coordinating every interaction a customer has with your brand, across all channels and over time, so that each one moves them meaningfully forward rather than simply existing. Done well, it shifts marketing from reactive touchpoint management to intentional, outcome-driven engagement. Done poorly, it becomes an expensive exercise in…
Jonah Berger’s work on persuasion and influence identifies a consistent pattern: the most effective way to change someone’s mind is often to reduce their resistance rather than increase your pressure. His research, laid out across books like Contagious and The Catalyst, shifts the focus from broadcasting louder to removing the friction that stops people from…

Others respond to cues, context, and feel. Most do both, depending on the situation, the stakes, and how much mental energy they have available at that moment. Understanding which…
International marketing strategies are the frameworks businesses use to enter, grow, and compete in markets outside their home territory. Done well, they align product positioning, messaging, channel mix, and commercial structure to the specific conditions of each market, rather than assuming what works at home will work everywhere else. Most companies underestimate how much of…
Demand generation content is content designed to create awareness and interest in a category or solution before a buyer is actively searching. It reaches people who are not yet in-market, shapes how they think about a problem, and builds the commercial conditions that make downstream conversion possible. Most B2B and B2C content programmes do not…
A marketing strategy framework is a structured approach to making decisions about where to compete, how to reach the right audiences, and what to prioritise with limited resources. Done well, it connects business objectives to marketing activity in a way that everyone in the organisation can follow and hold each other accountable to. Most companies…
Demand gen strategy is the discipline of creating market interest before a buyer is ready to purchase, then converting that interest into pipeline. Most companies think they are doing it. Most are not. What passes for demand generation in most B2B organisations is a sophisticated system for capturing intent that already exists, renaming it as…
