In this podcast, Oztalay explains:

What is inbound marketing?

How Website Marketability, Content Marketing and Social Media

Marketing intersect.

Customer behavior has rapidly matured with the growth of the online world.

Customers access the Internet through a variety of different platforms and

channels.

Customers have abandoned a traditional buyer’s journey in the digital marketplace. They interact with brands through a series of high-intent touch points across multiple devices. Customers now guide the relationship!

Brands have to accept they need to be there to serve the customers on their terms…the brand no longer has control.

It’s about earned customers. It’s about earned traffic.

Reference 2016 Internet Trends Report about advertising no longer being

effective.

According to an advertising survey by Nielsen, 92 percent of people trust recommendations from other people over brand advertisements.
