Power has shifted to the consumer. Get used to it and understand how to lead instead of how to control.
We are different from our target audience! Q : When you compare yourself to the consumers in your target group, to what extent do you see an overlap or a difference between both? CONSUMER TWIN SCORE
One way to get connected is to get marketers in the living room of the consumer.
An alternative way is to get consumers in the ‘boardroom’ of your organisation.

Badges are status “When I got my expert badge I bragged to my kids and said 'there see I told you I was an expert' lol its not often we get called such things so why shouldn't we be pleased with ourselves”
Teams = common goal “We are lagging behind! I am sure with a gobby lass like me we can head back to the top!!! “ Wow first place thats great and I would say a very big thank you to The Duchess and Hettie who have placed some great posts.
We like to be challenged Gamification lesson #3
