I just read that in the year 2100, Nigeria will be the 2nd most populous country. And that by 2100, populations will plunge a lot across what we call the “developed world” (hate that term – it’s so condescending isn’t it?). Statistics can help us see into (and plan) for the future. This is true for life and one of my favorite things to do for marketing.

Did you know that archeologists have traced the origin of the meme back to the year 3 B.C. ? Memes, a term coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in 1976 to describe how ideas replicate, mutate, and evolve, are a way to carry a shared idea or trend to engage a target group. Over time, different groups take memes and tweak them to make them their own.

I'll admit it: this post is incredibly timely for me. I recently watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix, a docu-drama that explores the potentially addictive qualities of social media. Considering I spend 3+ hours a day on Instagram, I was already all-too-familiar with the habit-forming nature of social media apps. As a result of watching the film, I immediately deleted the Instagram app from my phone — but not my computer.

Dark Mode. The tech industry is buzzing with these two words, and email marketing is no exception. In 2018, Apple added Dark Mode to its desktop email client.

There’s no denying it… Dark Mode is taking over the inbox—and making sure emails look great in this reading environment is the new big challenge for email marketers.

How you choose to promote events can have a direct impact on how successful that event is. For brands with an established place in the online hierarchy, their event promotion efforts don’t have to be particularly intense or creative. Events like Inbound are already established enough to earn a certain level of attention. But if this is your first event, or your brand has yet to be seen as an online authority, you’re going to need every trick in the book to stand out.

“Natural language processing” (NLP) sounds complicated, but its applications are simple. Chances are, you already use NLP dozens or even hundreds of times per day. For example: If you use predictive text on your phone, you’re using NLP. When you search for something on Google , you’re using NLP. If you ask a voice assistant like Alexa or Siri a question, you’re using NLP.

Color wields enormous sway over our attitudes and emotions. When our eyes take in color, they communicate with a region of the brain known as the hypothalamus, which sends a cascade of signals to the pituitary gland, on to the endocrine system, and then to the thyroid glands. The thyroid glands signal the release of hormones, which cause fluctuation in mood, emotion, and resulting behavior.
