The big challenge for marketing is to realise that consumers are many people at the same time.
In a new video, digital guru, Ben Hammersley, talks about how to connect with the ‘decision-making me’ and cement a sale, simply by working out which channels a particular persona spends the most time in.

But don’t despair. The digital guru claims there are things marketers can do online that they can’t do in the real world. Vice-versa there are things they can do in the real world that they can’t do online.
“Because we’re increasingly sophisticated in understanding the power and the segregation of each of these channels, if a marketeer wants to get a product to me they have to first work out which me they want to talk to,” says Hammersley.
