Summary: Building upon our previous two publications, our new book is co-authored by some of the leading experts within our own team. We walk through proven marketing tactics on digital advertising, chatbot technologies, video marketing, SEO, social, lead nurturing and more.
A painful reality for today’s business owners is that average, run-of-the-mill digital marketing won’t cut it. Today’s strategies need to outperform your competition and resonate with customers. Unfortunately, these strategies are fairly complex and in a state of constant change.
A large part of our work at WSI is geared towards helping business owners navigate the digital space. So even though we’re a full-service marketing agency, our educational and training programs are near and dear to each of our Consultants. After all, learning from and sharing knowledge with other like-minded businesses is what our network was built on.
That said, I am very happy to announce the release of our latest in WSI’s best-selling Digital Minds book series! Our third publication in this series is entitled “Digital Minds: A Strategic Approach to Connecting and Engaging with Your Customers Online.”
