“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 />
