that "something special"

Challenge
Create content that stands out. Blogs, news, videos distribute content.
Content must have that "something special" to get noticed.

That "something special" is high-value, interactive content.

It's content that:

• Incorporates dynamic elements such as videos, animations, and image carosels.
• Involves the participation or feedback of the end user.
• Engages the viewer by giving them a role to play in the unfolding story.

Brands are leveraging the power of interactive content. They are telling their story.

One of there interactive approaches is the e-magazine (interactive magazine). This way, cool features are shared. The latest news is published. The users get a great feel of the brands presence.

12 business strategy failures

Adopting a business strategy is great. The key to this success is adopting the correct business strategy. To simply try a strategy on for size often doesn't succeed.

Here are 12 reasons for top business strategy failures:

1. Not understanding what a strategy is.
2. Focusing on results first, not focusing on the strategy.
3. Just going through the motions of developing a strategy plan.
4. Not being passionate about the strategy.
5. Not understanding the target audience.
6. Not understanding the environment.
7. Not recognizing market trends.
8. Overestimating the capacity of the business.
9. Not having a clear focus on a powerful, value proposition.
10. Lack of broad involvement.
11. Resisting change.
12. Having the wrong people in leadership roles.

Focus on the knowledge of the topic. When change happens quickly, opportunities once presented can vanish fast. Keep your options open.

mclaren 650 S

The McLaren 650 S gets a makeover. New add-ons. New paint (changes color in direct sunlight) to spellbind the viewer. New, new, new.
Ideas are still in production..... so much that the car's tour will create data from consumers. This information will be used to make the finished product. How's that for innovation?

Wonder what a make-over will do to your business? New paint. New interior. New style.

Look at your surroundings. Make choices that you (and your customers) can live with. I've been amazed at what a little renovation will do. Compare looks. Storyboard a little. Think a little.

Look at your Social Media platforms. Twitter has a new look, which I haven't used.... yet. Imagine.

The new concepts you come up with will amaze you.
