Can Big Brands Go Local?

I’ve argued recently that we are entering the Age of Relevancy in Marketing. The more relevant your message is, delivered to the more relevant audience at the more relevant time and in the more relevant place, the better your marketing will be. One critical element of that Relevancy Bullseye is location. Local is better because local is more relevant.

But corporations and brands struggle with local. It’s hard to sit at corporate headquarters and be connected on a 1:1 basis with every single customer, worldwide. It’s not just hard, it’s impossible. Or is it?

Kevin Magee will be bringing a very interesting talk and research to the table at Explore Dallas-Fort Worth that will dive into that topic — Can Big Brands Go Local? I sat down with Kevin recently to talk about the problems brands have and the solutions they should seek.
