As the year comes to a close, and we stand at the onset of yet another new one, I’m embracing a new mindset, a new direction, for a new, better me. But some of the fondest memories that make me ME will always be from my childhood, the start of my story. I don’t remember […]

Can We Catch Up With Gen Z?
Or the newest Gen Alpha? One thing is for sure that it’s going to get tougher. As a marketer, I’m entering this world at the most volatile time. Exciting as it is, it is also a make it or break it point for us. Traditional marketing is fading quickly to be disrupted by digital. The […]
