The MAD September Newsletter

Hi there! Glad you could join us

It’s time for our September newsletter, which means cosy season has officially arrived! ??

While the weather is cooling down, things are definitely heating up in the world of social media. Check out the updates we’ve been loving this month below, and as promised, we’ve got a sneak peek of the wedding of the year- congrats to the lovely Mr. and Mrs. Mcloughlin!

Meanwhile, down in London, we popped over to the Technology for Marketers event at ExCel. It was an amazing day (more on that in a bit...).

And just in case you've been juggling networking events, client meetings, and everything in between, we've got you covered with some October content ideas. See, we always come through with the good stuff!

Keep reading to stay in the loop with all the latest!

Social media updates we love ???

In 2022, LinkedIn introduced its post scheduling tool- a total game changer for social media managers and busy professionals alike, making it easier to plan and schedule content ahead of time.

But there was one big catch: once you scheduled a post, you couldn’t edit it. Well, not anymore!

That’s right- LinkedIn has finally rolled out an update that lets you edit scheduled posts! Hallelujah!

What social media features have you been loving this month? We would love to know! ??

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Mcloughlin!

?Last month, our Managing Director, Marie, celebrated the wedding of the year (and we’re not just saying that- the venue has already invited them back for a vow renewal!).

As promised in our August newsletter, we promised you a sneak peek into their special day and we always keep our word!

You might even recognise a familiar face in some of the photos- M.A.D alumni Rachael joined us to celebrate the occasion.?

Congratulations once again, Marie and Martin! ??

Technology for Marketers: Our key takeaways?

With our South Essex branch just a stone’s throw from London, we headed to the Technology for Marketing and Ecommerce Expo at the ExCel, and what an experience it was!

We walked away with so much new knowledge about the latest tech, fresh ideas, and exciting trends in the marketing world that we just had to share it with you.

On the day, we got to hear from some amazing industry leaders and had some great chats with AI solution providers, learning more about how marketers can really start using artificial intelligence to take their strategies to the next level.?

Here are our key takeaways:

??AI is becoming increasingly important in marketing. This technology can help businesses save time and money by automating tasks such as data analysis and content creation.

??Social media is still a valuable tool for marketing. Businesses need to have a strong social media strategy in order to reach their target audience.

??There is a growing demand for personalised marketing. Consumers want to receive messages that are relevant to them.?

??The use of data is becoming more important in marketing. Businesses need to collect and analyse data in order to make informed decisions.?

??The future of marketing is bright. There are many new and exciting technologies that are being developed that will help businesses reach their target audience.
