Context Marketing: How Google Failed

Do you still remember when Google ads, formerly called  Adwords, showed their ads on the right-hand side of your search results in  2016?

And do you know that these Google ads failed to drive any action by over 98 percent of the time? How is this possible despite Google ads being the perfect message at the right time to the right person?


Clearly Google had to rethink the way of doing things and had to come up with new ideas of what marketing is.


The question for you or your enterprise is where do you need to be to drive consumer actions?


Rethink your marketing campaigns may that be PR, Out of home advertising, social media or digital. Don’t continue to rely on what used to work and start understanding one very important change.

The consumers don’t listen to the advertisement anymore. Over 600 million people today use ad-blocking software.


Mathew Sweezey’s research in his book called The Context Marketing Revolution explains key traits of high -performing marketing organizations. Everything those companies did from their metrics, tactics, roles and business goals, traced back to the consumer experiences they created.
And by the way, today you see the Google ads on the top or at the bottom of your search results page.


Hopefully, this video is valuable for you and as always don’t be shy and reach out to me to discuss your marketing challenges.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Context marketing is the new marketing

Loving marketing, I recently had a chance to listen to Mathew Sweezey, the author of an inspiring book for any marketer called the Context marketing revolution. His speech definitely confirmed my beliefs, that if you want to achieve high performances today in business, you need to be more human and find new ways to connect with your ideal customers.

The book is full of practical insights and how marketing works today. And the first takeaway is, if you recognize and accept that the marketing has transformed, you already halfway there.

What I also found very interesting in the book is the idea of the customer journey, which is not new, but what is new is the way we must approach, manage, and use it. Brands must embrace consumers freedom and realize that they feel most motivated when they are guided along their own journey. Accepting that consumers are in control, and the need to create personalized journeys are the new fundamentals.

Hopefully, this resonates with you and I will be sharing more insights from the book for you very soon. So stay tuned.

Have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon.

Bye, but remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Cheers, people.

My Marketing Friends Are Stuck

Join the marketing rebellion movement launched by Mark Schaefer and let’s face the truth.

The advertising industry is in trouble because more and more consumers feel disrupted with impersonal ad messages and use ad-blockers to avoid them.

Today’s customers are in control. The customers are the marketing department. Don’t believe me? Watch the video and judge yourself.

Reference: Mark Schaefer’s book called “Marketing Rebellion”

Share your thoughts.

I would love to hear from you.
