“A business starts,<br />
grows and stays afloat<br />
with marketing”<br />
brand, so they go and repeat the same<br />
process in another company or industry.<br />
By celebrating and reviewing outstanding<br />
brands on Live with Lynda, as well<br />
as analyzing those that failed, SMEs<br />
now understand the need to not just<br />
copy and paste ideas, but create their<br />
own unique brand, which is necessary<br />
for business sustainability.<br />
Create Outstanding and Effective Marketing<br />
Campaigns<br />
Marketing communication is the lifeblood<br />
of a business. Unfortunately, it<br />
is becoming more and more expensive<br />
to achieve effective communication,<br />
hence businesses are always on the<br />
lookout for cost-effective ideas which<br />
can only be achieved through creativity.<br />
SMEs are inspired daily by the different<br />
creative marketing tactics and out-ofthe-box<br />
ads analyzed on my platform.<br />
Interestingly, the number of quality attempts<br />
by Nigerian brands sent to me<br />
daily has also increased and I see elements<br />
of issues discussed on my platform<br />
utilized and the usual mistakes<br />
avoided. Celebrating outstanding ads<br />
from Nigerian brands on LiveWithLynda<br />
has proven to be a great way to get<br />
noticed and it also challenges other<br />
SMEs to strive to become outstanding.<br />
What is more, businesses now have access<br />
to a pool of intelligent creatives<br />
from Nigeria in particular and all over<br />
the world on my platform, and can<br />
now have their designs developed under<br />
strict guidance by talent from the<br />
platform. In other words, we’ve made it<br />
easy for SMEs to access a diverse pool<br />
of good creatives and vice versa. The<br />
process is seamless and rewarding for<br />
both parties as creatives work from<br />
their comfort zone and SMEs now have<br />
the opportunity to consider different<br />
creative interpretations of a brief before<br />
settling for the best option.<br />
Build Formidable Teams and Allies<br />
LivewithLynda is the first and biggest<br />
media platform specializing in marketing<br />
communications and followed by<br />
industry professionals. Organizations<br />
can make important decisions like<br />
choosing their next advertising agencies<br />
from reviewing the comments and<br />
analyses of Agencies’ work and modus<br />
operandi by the community of professionals<br />
on the platform.<br />
Also, through a LivewithLynda initiative<br />
called #TheBriefCases, SMEs are<br />
able to recruit intelligent, creative and<br />
passionate staff for their marketing and<br />
communication roles.<br />
Become an Industry Leader<br />
LivewithLynda constantly provides industry<br />
news and valuable insights on<br />
brands and businesses through posts<br />
on feeds and stories. This information<br />
help businesses stay informed and outsmart<br />
their competition. Also, when<br />
businesses get featured on the platform,<br />
they are able to gather valuable<br />
feedback on their brand and ads, which<br />
helps them to continuously innovate<br />
and excel.<br />
With the right approach to creativity<br />
and innovation, brands stand a chance<br />
at making a mark and becoming reference<br />
points in their different industries.<br />
