In my journeys in the marketing world I think of innovation as a simple metaphor like adding a lemon to a drink.It should be subtle and not destroy the existing taste while adding a unique citrus twist. Give people time to adjust and the ability to take the lemon out of the drink if it is too much. Then ask sincere questions about how they like the new drink, measure and adjust.

We all chase the next big thing, but innovation without strategy is just noise. Start with the basics: - Know your audience deeply (yes, even their 2 a.m. Google searches). - Master storytelling—people buy emotions, not products. -A/B test everything; data is our best friend. What brings the magic? The layer in innovation. We have to experiment with emerging platforms (TikTok, Threads, etc.), use AI for personalization at scale (dynamic ads, hyper-targeted emails), and play with interactive content polls, quizzes, & AR filters. The key? Evolve, don’t discard. For ex., use AI to optimize email send times and personalize subject lines. The goal isn’t to reinvent the wheel, it’s to make it roll faster, smoother, and in the right direction.
