Why SEO Won’t Look The Same This Time Next YearWayne Barker
It’s fair to say that it’s been a volatile and challenging last six months in the world of SEO. With AI changing all the rules, algorithms updating constantly, and SGE (Search Generative Experience) hogging the headlines, marketers have had to stay on their tippy toes in order to keep up.

Steal Like An Artist The Quentin Tarantino RemixWayne Barker
Nothing is ever truly original. Nothing.
No matter what you are working on it is always a mash up of what has come before.
This is never truer than when you are working on creative endeavours.
As digital marketers we now have to be more creative than ever.
A few years back processes ruled in SEO. Nail processes, scale that bad boy up and off you go. Success could be yours.
Problem is, things change.
Google clamped down. They made examples of people, of businesses. Collateral damage happened. That actually started to enforce what they said they would all along. They just forgot to clamp down for a decade. That stuff worked (still does in some places nudge nudge wink wink).
Collateral damage wasn’t the only by-product of the clamp down. The content marketing deluge happened. The web went from being full of hardly comprehensible spun shit to being full of hardly comprehensible human written shit (who had heard someone tell them that having a blog WAS content marketing).
Before you had to be the one with the most to win.
Now you have to stand out to win (and maybe a bit of having the most).

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Juvenal's phrase was a common expression in 16th century London as a statement of impossibility.[citation needed] The London expression derives from the Old World presumption that all swans must be white because all historical records of swans reported that they had white feathers.[4] In that context, a black swan was impossible or at least nonexistent.

Think of it this way. The Christmas turkey. The turkey gets fattened up and is having a great life. Then Christmas comes and his life ends. To the observer the event is a black swan – the observer being the turkey and the event being his death. For the butcher its no surprise at all.
