2. Investing in the end-to-end experience
Every single marketer believes that customer experience is crucial and many marketers always focus on the parts of that experience which are under their direct control. Creative marketers always should take a broader view, which pays attention to the entire customer experience from end to end. The entire process includes the product, the buying process, the ability to provide support, and customer relationships over time. All of this takes time and resources, which requires bringing more creative thinking to unfamiliar problems.
3. Turning everyone into an advocate
In a fragmented media and social landscape, marketers can also no longer reach their goals for awareness and reputation just through paid media and PR. People are the new channel and the best way to amplify impact is by inspiring creativity in others. You need to treat everyone as an extension of your marketing team which includes employees, partners, and even customers.

4. Bringing creativity to measurement
In order to measure digital engagement, we need to know exactly what’s working and not working. This gives marketing an opportunity to measure and manage itself in new ways. In the past, marketing was always measured by just sticking to budgets and winning creative awards. The main ability you have is to measure data in adjusting strategies in real-time which enables marketing to prove its value to the business in entirely new ways.
5. Always thinking like a startup
In the past, marketers needed to be effective managers, setting goals well in advance, and then working within budget to achieve those goals. Today, creative marketers need to operate more like entrepreneurs, continuously adjusting to sustain “product/market fit.
