Read before you decide
- FoundationCommunity 101: a brand people belong to, not just followA brand community is a group of customers and fans who talk to each other, not only to the brand, in a space the brand helps run. It turns word of mouth into a programme: owned forums and groups, ambassadors and user-generated content, with moderation and disclosure duties that come with them.
- AppliedInfluencer and endorsement disclosure: the FTC, the UK, the EU and the Gulf permitsWhen a creator's post is an ad, how to label it in the US, the UK and the EU, what the UAE Advertiser Permit and Saudi Arabia's Mawthooq licence require as of 2026, and the contract and monitoring routine that keeps a campaign clean. General information, not legal advice.
- AppliedMarketing in Asia-Pacific: separate platforms, super-apps and social commerceWhy Asia-Pacific is several platform landscapes rather than one: China's own ecosystem, messaging-led markets in Japan, Korea and Thailand, social commerce in Southeast Asia, and India's scale, languages and data rules as of October 2026, with a procedure for planning each.
