However, you can take a different view on how things will progress. People\u2019s attitudes and value sets will have significantly shifted during Covid-19 lockdown. I am watching people \u201ccraving\u201d after the smallest of things on Facebook, and much of this is physical things which people have missed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are at a unique point where the button has almost been reset. You can be the individual, business or organisation that shifts thinking or leads, creating the way you want to be remembered for engaging with them. The quote <em><span style=\"color:#74049d\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>\u201cBe the change that you wish to see in the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/em> <span style=\"color:#7900a3\" class=\"has-inline-color\">\u2015\u00a0Mahatma Gandhi<\/span> has a real resonance as your actions can be key. Many people would have heard me say, it\u2019s not the <strong>\u201cWhat\u201d<\/strong> but the <strong>\u201cHow\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use as the premise of how we talk about marketing as it\u2019s about educating your customers, users, members about what you offer in your product or service. Educationalists often use a framework of Visual Auditory and kinaesthetic learning techniques. So whilst your audience has been bombarded with Visual and Auditory during Covid-19 lockdown, the opportunity lies with the kinaesthetic or physical engagements. In-person is very limited, with social distancing, and hesitance, getting physical with your marketing and communications will fill the void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, we had multiple conversations around this subject, with some very clever advisors and consultants to some interesting audiences. All with the same views around excessive online had dulled the message that the respective audiences were receiving. In every case the realization to change the communication method was key, yes that is the \u201cwhat\u201d but in every case, we turned to the \u201chow\u201d which resulted in different methods. All stemmed around the use of physical direct mail. Whether marketing communications or CPD educational programme resources, the need to engage and add value is at the heart of the message.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can follow the sheep, be bamboozled by the rhetoric, understanding how people engage, will only ensure you can get a result from your investment in communications. Speak to any seasoned marketing and communications professional, they will talk about the tools in the toolbox, one tool does not do everything. So if you want to get more physical and kinaesthetic, why not consider a conversation with us to add some magic back in your toolbox?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people are saying the world will be a different place and things will change.
