Our experience is shaped by numerous factors, and our online behaviour is a great foundation for the ways we shape what's offered to us.

Nowadays, digital marketing is focused on customer-centricity, and even though the automation and personalisation approaches are similar across the MarTech/Digital Marketing, the ways each customer responds to them defines their overall customer experience.

In this Online Open Lecture, I discuss MarTech and Customer Experience.

I would love to read your thoughts - do you agree? Do you disagree? Please let me know in the comments!

Based on my 12 years of experience teaching and studying digital marketing, I share with you three major categories of words you need to know to succeed in your marketing-related communication in English as a non-native English speaker.

The first category refers to the general business vocabulary used for business communication and correspondence, relevant abbreviations and idioms, like “ to call it a day”, “to think outside the box”, to “circle back”, etc.

The second category includes general marketing-related terms and their meanings, such as customer experience, customer experience journey, purchase funnel, conversion, lifetime value, brand awareness, lead generation, etc.

And the third category refers to the terms used on the specific platform relevant to your field, whether you work on Meta platforms like Facebook or Instagram, Google Platforms like Google Analytics or Google Ads, visualisation platforms like Tableau, in UX/UI using Figma, creating and optimising websites using content management systems like WordPress or Wix.

These platforms generally have their own glossaries, and it is always good to know relevant terms for clear communication with colleagues.

All of this may sound overwhelming, I understand.

So, to support you on this journey of learning, I create free English exercises for digital marketers, host free open discussion club for people interested in digital marketing, and I post Online Open Lectures on my YouTube channel.

You can also check out The MarTech Guide I wrote to help you learn about your potential in the marketing technology-related field. Moreover, I offer individual online consultations to improve your communication skills to move closer to the marketing career of your dreams.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested and if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

🌟 Marketing: Who do you need to know

Marketing is a continuously growing field. New trends, new platforms, new cases...
However, fundamentals matter: here are several marketers you can learn about as they greatly contributed to marketing development.

1. Philip Kotler
“Do not be fooled by my title “Father of Modern Marketing.” If I stop following the latest developments and ideas, my marketing knowledge will quickly lose value.” - Philip Kotler
- Popularisation of “marketing mix”
- Contribution to the development of the Social Media Marketing field

2. Peter Drucker
In 1953 stated that the first question for any business is: “Who is the customer?”
Focus on the value of the product and its problem-solving abilities, instead of just the product or service itself.

3. E. St. Elmo Lewis
Developed AIDA - an advertising theory in which the marketing professional is aware of a set of stages that a customer goes through when deciding whether to make a purchase.

4. Theodore Levitt
In 1960 introduced a term “Marketing myopia”, describing the common mistake of prioritizing short-term goals over long-term growth and prioritizing business needs over customer needs.
- Myopic businesses look inward, not outward
- Myopic businesses look at the immediate future, not the distant one

Is there someone else you’d like to add to this list?

Is there any other term, model or theory you consider to be fundamental in the marketing field?
