Digital Marketing
You remember TV advertising, of course? It helped brands like Levi’s and Nike, Coca Cola and McDonald’s to acquire brand awareness top positions. When you bought the product or service advertising’s interest in you waned immediately, though. That’s different in the contemporary era of digital marketing. Now many are discussing what they have bought on the social media, continuously and in detail. Marketing and communication have adapted. Also in the hospitality industry.

Appending: All The Blogs
Apart from the Cool Hospitalities Hunts that we do – with EUHT StPOL – Sant Pol school of hospitality and culinary management, Barcelona in the center, as we have given masterclasses there for a decade now, with the Cool hunting methodology consequently ingrained in the curriculum – we also conduct a Cool Food Hunt and a Cool Agriculture Hunt – with the Dutch HAS University in the lead. By nature, Cool hunters with a hospitality perspective and hunters with a food and agricultural perspective generate different blogs and
insights when it comes to the future of hospitalities. All, 36 Cool Seeds and examples (trhoughout the booklet) can be found here
