Marketing in today’s world can be one of the most complex and challenging industries. While there is so much opportunity because every business can benefit from great marketing, trying to build brand affinity and customer loyalty has many CEOs, marketers and brands striving to solve this modern day puzzle. How can we connect with customers, build the longer-term relationship beyond the sale, create the opportunity for new customers to fall in love with our product or company and help add increased value beyond what is normalized or expected. 

On this fascinating episode of OWC's Leaders & GameChangers, Setorii would like to introduce you to the man that has cracked the code to help us all understand how to strengthen brand affinity and reach customers at a deeper level. His name is Raja Rajamannar and he is the CMO of MasterCard. He makes the magic happen at a brand we all admire and use. You probably have heard of the priceless campaigns that would run in commercials. They helped highlight our purchases beyond the cost of items, and the experience itself, because they help define that our time and moments are priceless. MasterCard helped humanize purchases by having us all realize that time and moments are our most valuable gifts and for that there is MasterCard to help us along our journeys. 

Raja has helped lead and steer MasterCard into countless new territories where he has strengthened the brand itself, the impact it has around the world and curates one-of-a-kind experiences for us all to enjoy and share with each other. Raja has also personalized marketing experiences while helping business owners and marketers break down barriers where customers are normally annoyed by advertisements and interruptions but instead giving customers more of the personalization they have been seeking. By MasterCard choosing to come from the heart, listen to their customers, and find ways to add value to lives, their brand is helping think out of the box to pave the new path forward for all of us to learn from so we can make our businesses better, our customer experiences more appreciated and connect with our customers deeper than we have before.

In a world of sensory overload and stressful situations coming at us on a daily basis people have become normalized to life’s challenges. It is rationalized all the time by seemingly everyone that... life is hard. All of the people we look up to all have shared harrowing journeys of personal struggles, defeats and comebacks which give people hope. For many of us it gives us the power to move forward seeking to achieve our dreams. There has been a noticeable increase of people actively looking for ways to naturally unwind at the end of their days. They have been seeking herbal therapies, remedies for stress and therapy. Meditation apps, magazines making their entire magazines about healthy recipes, wellness apps and websites as well as virtual doctor appointments have all thrived during the past years. 

There is a desire and a need for psychoactive therapies to help treat a range of ailments. Some types of alternative therapy have been well-researched by scientists, so doctors may recommend them to patients. Examples of more understood and accepted practices include yoga, meditation, and acupuncture. But people appear to be on quests to go deeper and discover more than the normilized forms of recoveries. Burning Man helps people bond and rekindle with their sense of self, yoga retreats help people reconnect with their souls, Vipassana meditation helps people get away from the business of everyday. Medical Medium or Dr. Robert Morse helps us learn to heal our bodies from within by guiding us through eating fruits, plants and herbs while Tony Robbins seminars helps us rekindle our inner spark. Transcendental Meditation helps us reconnect with our inner voices and Wim Hof breathing training helps strengthen our body's natural immunity. All of these above mentioned have one thing in common… healing.
