LSM weighs in on the marketing impact of brag culture

London, England: (03 July, 2015) London School of Marketing, a leading institution offering accredited marketing and business qualifications in the heart of London, has published insights on the ways in which social media has contributed to the rise of brag culture in marketing. It asks the question: in today’s frenzied world of digital marketing, how else can marketers make their brand stand out from the crowd?

"Social media networks have opened up the possibility for individuals to construct a public image by curating their online presence," the article states. "In marketing, brand images can be built in just the same way. So it is no surprise that marketers have also begun a similar trend."

Complementing a comprehensive range of blogs, whitepapers and case studies designed to support students pursuing sought-after marketing, business and academic designations, this article breaks down the best ways for marketers to 'boast' in today's competitive climate, while sharing guidelines on how to brag tastefully. These include being honest, celebrating milestones, and sharing positive reviews.

"There is a happy medium that can be struck, and boasting can be handled in a professional manner," the article concludes. "Remember that making excessive statements about your brand’s value can easily hurt its reputation - especially if you are not able to live up to your own hype."
