Having been looking for ways to promote his niche business, he decided to continue expanding the marketing knowledge he had gained during his time at BMW and Monash university, where he was awarded a price as best international marketing student of that year.

Marketing is than just simplyfing a promotional message to potential buyers. It about understanding the human nature and also how the data generated by technology helps realize opportunities for greater improvement. By participating in many SEO related trainings and also becoming an Infusionsoft Certified Partner, he combined the human and martech side of any business.

Advising corporates, coaching companies and startups on their options to market their initiatives allowed Christian to share his knowledge around the world. Some of his market entry strategies are in use by several companies. The basic framework is related to that infamous project of designing a market entry and market stabilization strategy to get Australian wine into the Russian market.

When you look at how a B2B client differs from a B2C customer you realize that they are influenced by interrelated factors. Marketing is a tool that is not only used by businesses to sell their products and services. Governments use it to promote their policies to the public. In contrast criminals and terrorists use online marketing to gain followers for their illicit activities.

Fake News is just a subsection of the propaganda type of marketing. You need to analyse it to better understand their objectives. Then you know how to bypass it without getting run over by the dominating media participant.

Looking at entering a new market? Are you sure, you have found a good niche to not be crushed in an overcrowded market? That blue ocean you are dreaming off, could me just a step to the side. Without proper market research, market strategy and business development, you are just gambling your money.
