Marketing Is Always Changing. Is Your Marketing Portal Vendor Keeping Pace?

Mar 03, 2023

Marketing is not a static discipline. New trends, new technologies, changing consumer behaviors, and unforeseen world events. Every year seems to bring a new set of rules and a new playing field for marketers to navigate. If there’s one thing we in marketing can count on, it’s that marketing is constantly changing.

Indeed, during the final session of the conference, Franchise Founders CEO Matt Friedman reminded all of us it’s just as important to share what we learned from FCXC with our organizations.

Nov 30, 2021

What does the term brand mean to you? Many people mistakenly see brands as merely logos and color palettes, when in fact, brands are so much more.
