An ExO is a purpose driven project and the MTP paves the way toward two amazing opportunities.
The nature of the purpose is to convey the identity of the entrepreneurial project, to transmit it to the world (inside and outside the project ecosphere).
For this reason, it is indispensable to building a modern brand, whose essence goes well beyond the sphere of the product or the service and it reaches the unconscious sphere to meet the emotions of clients, collaborators, investors, shareholders and suppliers so as to create with all of them a new brand experience dimension.
The paradox of the massive transformative purpose is in its intangible nature that nevertheless concretizes and conveys the most authentic way of being of the entrepreneurial project, allowing it to emerge from the noisy context of modern communication.
The work of the framework, if done with seriousness, places the entrepreneur in front of a choice:
1) inspiring all the communication of the entrepreneurial project (new or pre-existing) to what emerged from the five questions, using it as a not negligible competitive advantage to building a modern brand,
2) or starting the ExO project: in this case, the first and only mandatory among the ExO model exponential attributes, is ready with other indispensable elements to building a modern brand identity.

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.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.
The session includes a brief history of the evolution of search before diving into the roles technology, content, and links play in developing a powerful SEO strategy in a world of Generative AI and social search. Discover how to optimize for TikTok searches, Google's Gemini, and Search Generative Experience while developing a powerful arsenal of tools and templates to help maximize the effectiveness of your SEO initiatives.

We are proud of our team’s
achievements in creating and
connecting things people love.

Awards aren’t everything, but the ones that are focus
on impact and are voted on by people sure do say

The Vivaldi Model
We’re proud of the marks our
team has made as some of the
best and brightest around.
27. Our Unique
Approach
An approach to driving innovation that’s as inspiring as it is impactful —
like the business and marketing world we live in today.
What’s been done? What
hasn’t ? Let’s dig in and
immerse ourselves into
everything related to your
customer, from what drives
behavior to decision making
to sharing. Intellectually
inspired — deep insights are
just the start.
The way we go-to-market
matters as much as what
goes to market. Do we set
the bar high and let it fly?
Do we go-live at ground-
level? Here is where we
identify and structure a
launch with Impact in mind.
After a rigorous
assessment of what it
takes to inspire — we
start to bring our thinking
to life, together, and with
influential feedback
woven in. What does it
look like? How does it
feel? Where does it live?
The anticipation! We
can’t take it either.
DIGGING IN THE MESSY MIDDLE THE FOCUSED FOLLOW-UP IT’S MAGIC IT’S REAL
playful and strategic —
using Unconventional Wisdom
we’ll collaborate as one team.
We’ll document journeys, we’ll
identify jobs to be done and
opportunities for growth. Oh,
and we’ll have fun too.
From design to experience—
based on our new product vision,
our creative and digital studio
will partner with you to
take our secret to
market.

What is an
Unconventional
Wisdom Workshop?
An immersive and collaborative design
thinking workshop used to reframe
challenges and opportunities from the
consumer’s perspective in order to
provoke breakthrough solutions.
29. 29
Our Unique
Approach In the workshop we explore a Storymap—an illustrated customer journey—that
illuminates in context the trends, the pain points, and the disruptors in the world.
30. 30
The Vivaldi Storymap is
hands-on and is presented
through a narrative of our
customer’s journey with
thought-starters used to
provoke collective thinking
and problem solving through
a variety of frameworks like
HMW an JTBD.
Our Unique
Approach
31. 31
The Unconventional Wisdom Workshop jump-
starts rapid and deep understanding of the
customer’s world left unexplored in other agile
processes. Innovation, brand & experience
disruptors play a huge role in shaping our target’s
world. Through them, we’ll assess trends, show case
white space opportunity, and gather inspiration.
Immersed in relevant culture,
audience, and geography, we
situate our challenge in its proper
context: what every one is doing,
what’s been done to death, and
what’s just dying to be done.
Our Unique
Approach
Hundreds of disruptors are interrogated into each UWW
32. 32
Disruptor research is presented
through a thoughtfully organized,
interactive wall as part of the
Unconventional Wisdom
Workshop (UWW).
Our Unique
Approach

Multiple problem definitions,
can be solved in multiple
ways. In the UWW, problems
become opportunities and
opportunities become
solutions. Workshops are
high-energy and high-impact
because the more ways you
define the problem, the more
ideas you’ll have to meet the
challenge.
Our Unique
Approach

We developed a new Rewards program that
addresses customer expectations and provides
an opportunity for growth for Wells Fargo.
We used customer insights to develop a new set
of offerings that transform the brand from a
reactive resource to a go-to solution.
We utilized qualitative and quantitative
research to identify brand building initiatives to
bring Tillamook to life in ownable moments
along the customer journey.
40. Identifying growth
opportunities along
the customer journey

Tillamook, a 110 year-old farmer-owned
dairy co-op, has strong brand engagement
in their core markets due to their heritage
and long history in the local community,
however, outside the core, awareness is
low.
While Tillamook has extensive consumer
data, the brand has a highly functional view
of the role they play in consumers’ lives.
Vivaldi was tasked to identify the moments
that matter along the consumers’ journey
to unleash the brand’s full potential across
markets and categories.

Through our research and workshops we
identified an ownable emotional territory for
Tillamook to build-off of as it expands into
new markets and territories.
From the Unconventional Wisdom
Workshop an Idea Playbook was created to
arm the team with consumer-led initiatives
for 2020 and beyond. Activations are
