“Marketing can involve a lot of technology. But at the end of the day, it’s people that actually use our products and services. So why do some campaigns feel so unfriendly and uninspired? Marketers need to remember that we are marketing to humans.” – Stefan Mumaw, Director of Narrative Strategy at First Person
