The way of doing business has changed, the new paradigm is that digital outreach, marketing, branding and thought leadership are integral to success

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to Chuck Brooks, a globally recognized expert on cybersecurity, risk management, and emerging technologies, the way of doing business has significantly changed over the last few years and the new paradigm is that digital outreach, marketing, branding and thought leadership are integral to success.

Brooks notes that the Covid19 pandemic, combined economic factors, have led to the emergence of remote work and hybrid environments and different ways of doing commerce. The move away from business lunches, live events, and meetings has propelled digital platforms into becoming a main fulcrum for communications and branding. Those social platforms have especially impacted components of business development, sales, government relations, and marketing.

Platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram, have now become a daily means for sharing content, building networks, and reaching targeted markets. Thought leadership on meaningful topics is of timely interest to everyone and the use of subject matter experts and influencers have become a primary means for brand amplification via articles, blogs, podcasts, and online events.

Chuck Brooks saw the trend digital brand amplification happening and started his firm Brooks Consulting International at the beginning of the outset of the pandemic. His focus was to help companies, new & old, large & small, to be more visible and recognized for their unique capabilities on social media platforms, especially those who have products or services in the areas of cybersecurity, homeland security, and emerging technologies. Companies were and are seeking quality and interesting content that helps enable them to be able to connect with peers and clients.

Brooks notes that in the new emerging business ecosystem, it is much easier for someone to respond to a LinkedIn email while working remotely. They can view profiles on their social networks both business and personal time and see that value of responding to a particular outreach communication or meeting request. In addition, other social media aspects of digital marketing and brand amplification is that it can be very cost-effective, and repetitive. A good written message, video or graphic can have a long shelf-life and be shared widely across various social media platforms. Brooks recommends that companies explore strategies that use influencers and thought leaders who can augment company marketing and sales efforts by bringing credibility.
