AI isn’t replacing marketers — it’s reshaping marketing.

This week’s Chaos & Amazement covers:
– Amazon vs Perplexity’s AI shopper
– Chatbots taking over daily life
– Coca-Cola’s AI Christmas ad 🎄

Which matters more: automation, attention, or authenticity?

First-time video editors! 🧠 Try practicing editing in your head as you film. You might not know the final cut yet, so just record a little extra footage. Then, as you edit, you'll start seeing the story and learning how to anticipate what you need next!

SEO isn’t sorcery: don’t annoy, don’t mislead, be mobile-friendly & secure. Google loves that.

Customer loyalty isn’t just a nice-to-have 💡
Keeping existing customers costs less than winning new ones, and loyal buyers drive more revenue and profit over time.
Customer centricity = growth strategy.

ooking to make your videos actually work for your business? 📹

Conversion isn't just about views or likes. It's about what happens after the video. Think: clicks, sign-ups, downloads, and sales.

Make your videos actionable and they'll start driving real results!

Don't let the fear of judgment stop you from creating! That voice in your head saying "they'll laugh at you" is a liar. We all cringe at our old videos, it's a sign of progress. The most important thing is to start.

✨ Stop overthinking video content! Your speaking style, outfit choices, background, graphics are all part of YOUR unique brand.
No need to be an influencer or create corporate-level videos. Authenticity beats perfection every time. #VideoTips #PersonalBrand

🎯 Digital marketing without research = dating blindfolded

Before you launch that campaign:
• Survey your audience
• Study competitor strategies
• A/B test your messaging
• Analyze market trends
5 minutes of research can save you 5 months of wasted ad spend 💸

💡 Seth Godin wisdom:
"Marketing is not a battle, and it's not a war, or even a contest. Marketing is the generous act of helping someone solve a problem. Their problem."
Stop thinking conquest. Start thinking service. 🤝

In a small Belgian town, the Glass Chapel shines in Art Deco colors. Built in 1929 with marbrite, a glass that looks like marble, it was abandoned and then restored. Today you can visit, enjoy concerts, and even stay overnight. ✨🇧🇪
