Remember Pokemon Go? It wasn’t even two years ago that this free, location-based augmented reality mobile game took the world by storm. It drove millions of people out of their living rooms and onto the streets, into parks, museums and stores, glued to phones that would reveal mythical creatures to catch along the way. Toronto’s Bo Zou says the Pokemon craze is a noteworthy example of how digital user experience informs, inspires and transforms collective human behaviours.

We live in an online world. The Internet has evolved from a useful tool to a necessary component of everyday life, whether personal or professional. That’s why so many entrepreneurs no longer have a traditional office to host their business operations. Having a virtual office reduces the limiting overhead costs associated with starting and running a business, including rent and equipment.

Every entrepreneur believes that their product or service is memorable, and that every customer will quickly see the advantage over competitors. Yet true product differentiation in the eye of the customer is rarely achieved. According to an old survey by Bain & Company , 80% of businesses believe they have differentiated offerings, but only 8% of customers agree.

In a world where speed matters more than ever, being able to offer customers, clients, and subscribers easy, quick access is a top priority. In addition to speed, consistent functionality is a crucial component for web-based brands that offer both services and products to the masses. If your website is offline or your ability to provide services is hindered, then you’re losing both time and money.

Clothes, Will Make Or Break The Man. Mark Twain was right about a lot of things, but one of my favorite truths was what he had to say about clothes: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” While we’d all like to think that what we wear doesn’t have much influence on what people think about us, the truth is that’s like saying Apple pie would taste as great whether it smelled like last week’s garbage or not.

Being a fishmonger requires much more than just being able to appreciate fish as a food source. The profession needs its employees to be able to work long working days, and a typical shift could begin as early as 5.30am in the morning, if not earlier. This exciting business demands the skills of someone who is able to make it down to the fish market every day and source the freshest produce available to then sell it to customers in the store.

“Every company is a media company,” Tom Foremski, ex-FT journalist and the editor of Silicon Valley Watcher, said a decade ago. He meant that increasingly, even companies that aren’t concerned with news or journalism must be able to make meaningful connections with customers with the written word. Given the growth of content marketing, blogging, and social media, it seems pretty clear that the demand for good writers will remain high.
