Right person, right message, right time. 

This formula is the backbone of all marketing, right? If I can reach the people most likely to buy my product, with a message that moves them out of need or emotion, at the moment when they are most receptive to that message, I’ve got myself some paying customers. 

Advertising has come a long way since the first TV advert on July 1, 1941, for Bulova Watches. Fast forward 80 years and you’ll find yourself smack dab in the middle of a dizzying array of advertising. From print to digital and everything in between, it’s a never-ending game of getting your product or business out there to the masses—a game that’s not slowing down any time soon. 

It’s 11pm. You’re in bed, about to fall asleep. All of a sudden, you realize you forgot to grab the side dish for tomorrow’s dinner with the in-laws—and you’re hosting. Between meetings and picking up the dog from daycare, your “tomorrow” is fully booked. Luckily, it’s 2021 and you can just open your favorite grocery app and get your forgotten item delivered, at a time of your choice. Dinner is saved.
