Introduction – Marketers, You’ve Been Lied To For years, marketers have been fed the same narrative: social media is the most powerful tool for shaping consumer behavior. It’s been sold as a magic formula—engage, influence, convert. With precise targeting, real-time analytics, and influencer partnerships, brands were promised unparalleled control over consumer decisions. But here’s the...
Big Names Are Overrated. Influence Is Going Micro. The influencer marketing landscape is changing fast. For years, brands poured their budgets into mega-influencers and celebrities, chasing reach and visibility. But now, a different force is driving results: nano and micro-influencers. These “small” creators, with audiences from 1,000 to 100,000 followers, are proving that impact matters...

The same outdated methods—surveys, focus groups, and gut-feel analytics—are still running the show, and businesses are making billion-dollar decisions based on incomplete, often misleading data. Meanwhile, consumer behavior has evolved, expectations have shifted, and the digital world is more immersive than ever. Yet, the market research...

AI is Killing Traditional Qualitative Research, and That’s a Good Thing Qualitative research has been stuck in the past for too long. Manual coding, subjective interpretations, and slow, labor-intensive processes have turned insights into a bottleneck instead of a competitive advantage. But that’s over. Generative AI is here, and it’s not just improving qualitative research—it’s...
