2022 Retrospective

2022 is coming to an end and what a year it has been.

I finally met in person my long time friend and marketing thought leader Mark Schaefer at his Uprising event in Knoxville, Tennessee. The event was the first step forward of building an ongoing community of marketing leaders where Mark also launched the RISE community where you can explore the future of Marketing.

In between I also changed job where I joined the online University called “FernUni Schweiz” as their Digital Marketing Advocate where I am excited to build a community and sense of belonging for people who want to start or enhance their careers with a university degree.

My experimentation with Artificial intelligence has been very rewarding and I can only encourage you to embrace and to learn from AI which is transforming every marketer career.

We moved into our new home but unfortunately we also had a loss in our family. My beloved father-in-law tragically passed away this year and he will be remembered forever.

It’s time to look forward and I hope that 2023 brings you and me even more opportunities and that we are able to make the most out of them. The Uprising event coming to Europe in September sounds very exciting and I hope to be able to attend and to make even more connections in the industry. Drop me a message if you would like to know more about the Uprising event.  

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

Web3 – The Future of Marketing #2

Mathew Sweezey, the futurist of Salesforce,  blew my mind with his impressive talk about Web3 at the last Uprising event.

He explained how Web 3 is changing the way consumers interact with brands and how brands approach customer lifetime value.

Don’t get confused yet about the buzz words such as NFT’s, Wallets, Blockchain, Discord, Open Sea, Crypto, Metaverse and so on.

Simply understand that Web3 is a power shift. 

Consumers now control their data, not brands. 

Mathew Sweezey

What brands need to see is how this changes the relationship between them and consumers. Each iteration of the web has changed this dynamic, shifting power more and more towards consumers. 

Web3 is envisioned as a digital space where services are operated, owned and improved by communities of users like you and me.

This is truly amazing and a trend you as a marketer, cannot ignore and need to get up to speed.

Enjoy the ride😁

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

The Uprising Event – Here I come

I’m getting very close to finally finally meet up with my long-time friend Mark Schaefer at his Uprising event in Knoxville Tennessee.

Our journey started over 10 years ago when I was simply looking for a book that could help me to get a better understanding of Twitter. I came across Mark’s book the Tao of Twitter and the book was just right for me and ever since I follow Mark through his blog podcasts and books.

I also had a chance to be mentored by Mark and finally, finally we’ll make it happen to meet up in person. Oh yes baby like Mark would say and I can’t wait.

Check out for yourself to learn about Mark Schaefer how he could help or inspire you through his blog or books and join the marketing Rebellion.

But remember as long as the Matterhorn stands everything is going to be all right.

Beyond Marketing – Stay healthy

Hi people,

I think you agree with me that 2021 has yet been another challenging year. We constantly need to adapt to new situations, may that be professionally or privately. 

Let me share with some of my personal experiences in 2021. Everybody was hoping the get back to normal but the normal doesn’t exist anymore. I changed jobs, family members were tested positive, my 2 kids were quarantined and the uncertainty continues.

To wrap up 2021 I would like to encourage you to look after your personal health beyond anything else. Without being healthy, we can’t tackle the other challenges.

Daily Outdoor activities help me to recharge constantly my batteries and give me the mental strength I need to be at my best.

What kind of routines do you do for your personal health and well-being? 

Please leave a message in the comments section and don’t be shy.

Greetings from the beautiful Swiss mountains and stay healthy.

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

Cheers people and talk to you soon again.

When a CEO doesn’t like Marketing

If you are also in love with marketing, please subscribe to my blog and Youtube channel and stay up-to-date with today’s marketing challenges in a digital world. It would mean a lot to me.

Certainly you must be familiar with the 4Ps from Philip Kotler and let me tell you one of his stories about marketing. 

There are 2 groups of CEO’s with respect to marketing.
1 group who doesn’t like marketing and 1 one group who loves marketing.
Maybe you have already seen a company where the CEO  says: “I don’t like Marketing, but I know i need it, and all I want from marketing is some communication.I just want someone to broadcast and promote us.”
Well, that person is missing a lot of things and then there are other CEO’s who are 4P CEOs who say:”I need a marketing plan.” A plan that mentions my product: What is good about the product. Price: What should it be priced at? Place: Where should be made accessible? Online, offline, in stores? and last but not least promotion. 

So that’s a more educated view of the potential of marketing but there is even a better CEO who says:”I want to start with the fact that the market is complex. There are a lot of segments and each segment deserves its own plan. Only one value proposition for the whole market doesn’t trigger anything. So what segment should we go after?

This brings us to the conclusion that the role of marketing  in a company is very complex and influenced by the CEO’s view of marketing.

Please leave a comment below and share with me your CEO’s view of marketing.

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

Cheers people and stay safe!

What is Permission Marketing 2.0?

Ever since Seth Godin wrote the book Permission Marketing, the notion of having permission via email to communicate is still valid, but today, you as a marketer need to seek a wider range of permissions. 

Because remember – the consumer is in control over who has access to them directly.

Your goal is to ask for explicit permission from consumers so you can communicate directly with them and  gain a higher level of context. Otherwise instead of enhancing your brand experience you will end up with forced ads that are lacking context.

Explicit permission is the highest level of context, where an individual grants you to engage directly with them. This can be via social media channels, chatbots or a phone call.

Professionally and personally I am trying to use the power of personal connections through social media channels.

The second form of permission is implicit where people grant you permission for a better user experience. Mostly this happens when a person visits your website and allows you to access his personal data. Although the person is not giving you actively permission to reach out to him or her on a different channel.

The takeaway is to ask explicit permission to engage with the consumer and you do have my explicit permission to leave a comment below to start the conversation;-)

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

Cheers people and stay safe !

How banks continue to adapt to digital disruption

Hi People,

let me just take a minute to share with you my observations in the banking industry. I mean, these days you hear many stories about how Finetech, startups or even the GAFA’s interrupt the banking industry.


Personally, I observed in a positive way, how banks continue to adapt to the constantly changing consumer needs. Today as a connected consumer, I’m obtaining more and more services via my online banking. TWINT, checking my balance sheet, and online transactions are the services I’m using most.

Now, what priorities should banks focus on from a simple user point of view?
In order to stay relevant today, you the banks need to focus on constantly improving the user experience. You want to offer the same quality onsite and online.
You want to embrace data and analytics to better understand your customer needs and make insight-led decisions. Apply a user-centered design principle to deliver an amazing user experience. You go mobile because more and more people embrace mobile. And last but not least, personalize the experience across all digital channels in order to enhance customer satisfaction.


Well, I hope this is useful to you, but remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Well cheers people from the Swiss mountains. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the mountains too over these days.

Greetings from a Swiss mountain guy;-)

The key to digital communication overload

Often I’m hearing companies saying that they understand the importance of good online interactions with people. But many times the executive team looks at digital marketing, just as items on a checklist. Instead of looking at what connection is created with a digital asset, they only focus on the asset itself.

It’s a big mistake, and you and I are smarter. Therefore, let’s not misplace your focus because it can easily damage your overall brand reputation.

Now, what’s the goal of your digital communication?

Digital communication needs to provide a story that people are able to consume, understand and apply. Make the story more human and you will stand out.

Experts predict that social advertisement budgets will double in the next five years, digital communication will become saturated. Meaning the need for strong and concise digital content will be at an all-time high. A constant focus on the quality of your digital communication is key.

People it’s time to get your house in order in the digital space. If you need help, please feel free to reach out to me and I’m more than happy to help.

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

Cheers people from a rainy day, but at least the forecast is that it’s about to snow in a few hours and looking forward to that.

Kick off 2020 by getting your digital house in order

If you are in marketing, communications or digital marketing, I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on how grateful we are to be working in the world’s best field. The industry has certainly challenges but the opportunities are almost endless.

Kicking off my 2020 journey, my goal is to create value, to understand as much as possible about today’s constant changing consumers and to help people to succeed in marketing. If you are a brand, kick off 2020 by getting your digital house in order where you aim to be crystal clear about your ideal customers and your target audiences. Then delight them with engaging and exceptional experiences. People will respect and reward you for that.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright. And yesterday, I had a fabulous day in Zermatt and I can ensure you that the Matterhorn still stands very well.

Well, cheers people from Steg, my home village where I was fortunate to grow up with my longtime friend Raphi, who is having an amazing career in football. I wish him and you only the best for 2020. In the back that’s basically the football pitch, where we used to play endless hours of football. It was so much fun and I talk to you soon again from another place. Bye.

Greetings from a Swiss mountain guy;-)
