Market with meaning
When it comes to marketing to today's customers, it's not enough to win a share of their wallet. You've got to win their hearts, minds and, sometimes, their taste buds, too .

SALES & MARKETING: POWERED BY SANDLER TRAINING
The downside of overnight success
What do Megan Fox, Crocs and Krispy Kreme have in common? They're all victims of their own success. These days, exalted products seem to be falling harder and faster than ever before, and if new media has accelerated the pace of trend adoption, it also seems to be speeding up the cycle of extinction.
Sharing content is a good start
There's a simpler way to not only make your mark using Social Media, but to get ever more comfortable with new media: Start sharing content. It's often the most overlooked strategy, and one that will really bring out adoption throughout your entire organization.

Digital marketing an untapped gold-mine for Canadian firms
Digital marketing offers explosive marketing potential with Canadians spending up to 30 per cent of their time on digital channels. Unfortunately Canadian companies aren't taking notice.
MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP
Steering a small company through a turnaround
Leading any business is a delicate balance, but leading a turnaround is especially tricky. On one hand, you see so much potential: if a business was once successful, it could be again. On the other hand, you face incredible pressure. Everyone's waiting for your direction, and when you unveil your strategy, it has to inspire them. Because if it doesn't, there's no plan B.
