As a digital marketer, I’ve been in various market and niches. I targeted and retargeted different market of my clients and own projects. I did extensive research just to understand my target customers. But I realized that targeting and researching are not enough. Even hitting the bull’s-eye isn’t enough. To really succeed in marketing, you have to fall in love with your market. Because when you’re in love with your market, marketing becomes your life.
