Time for a game of <strong>Marketing Bingo!<\/strong>\n\n  <strong>The biggest marketing clich\u00e9s listed<\/strong>\n\nHere is a list of the most used (and perhaps misused) marketing terms. <strong>How many do you recognize?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Innovative <\/strong>\u2013 Because no one wants a boring campaign. But how often is something truly new?<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Impactful<\/strong> \u2013 Sounds nice, but how exactly do you measure that?<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Customer-centric<\/strong> \u2013 Because companies sometimes feel the need to emphasize that the customer is important.  <\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Out-of-the-box<\/strong> \u2013 But within the safe lines, of course.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Storytelling<\/strong> \u2013 We tell a story.
