Shaping Stories, Sparking Trends: Inside the World of OWLED Media’s Creative Marketing
CXOToday has engaged in an exclusive interview with Ayush Wadhwa, Founder, OWLED Media
- Can you share with us the inspiration behind founding OWLED Media, and what motivated you to venture into the creative marketing industry?
– My journey into the creative marketing industry began at the tender age of 13 when I discovered the educational potential of video creation. It sparked a fire within me, leading to the creation of my own YouTube channel, Technicia Studio. Through this platform, I delved into the world of storytelling, discovering my innate passion for crafting compelling narratives. As I honed my skills, I realized the immense power of marketing as a means to convey these narratives and connect with audiences, both locally and globally. The founding inspiration behind OWLED Media stemmed from this realization – the desire to help brands effectively reach their target audience through customized storytelling. What motivated me to venture into the content marketing industry was the noticeable gap between brands and their audience. I observed a disconnect in how brands communicated their messaging and saw an opportunity to bridge this gap by offering a modern approach to storytelling.

From predictive analytics to chatbots and virtual assistants, AI technology enables us to better understand our audience’s preferences and behavior, allowing us to tailor our messaging and content accordingly. The impact has been tremendous, with AI-driven campaigns consistently outperforming traditional marketing methods in terms of engagement and ROI.

I make a conscious effort to prioritize my time and delegate tasks effectively, ensuring that both my personal brand and my agency receive the attention they deserve.

- With the rise of influencer marketing, what role do you see influencers playing in the future of digital marketing, and how can brands effectively collaborate with influencers to reach their target audience?
– Influencers are playing an increasingly important role in the future of digital marketing, thanks to their ability to connect with audiences on a more personal level. We believe in authentic influencer collaborations that align with our client’s values and resonate with their target demographic.

- How do you see the relationship between traditional marketing methods and digital marketing evolving in the coming years, and what opportunities do you see for businesses in this changing landscape?
– The relationship between traditional marketing methods and digital marketing is evolving rapidly, with digital channels increasingly becoming the preferred choice for consumers and businesses alike. However, I believe there will always be a place for traditional marketing tactics, especially in industries where personal relationships and face-to-face interactions are valued. While digital marketing provides targeted and measurable results, traditional methods still hold value in building brand awareness. The future lies in a strategic blend, allowing businesses to reach a broader audience while maintaining the efficiency of digital channels.
- As a young entrepreneur, what advice would you give to aspiring business owners who are looking to start their venture in the digital marketing industry?
– My advice to aspiring entrepreneurs entering the digital marketing industry is simple: stay curious, stay true to your passion, and never stop learning. Embrace the ever-changing landscape, be open to new ideas, and build genuine connections. Success comes from a blend of creativity and adaptability. Surround yourself with a supportive network, learn from failures, and believe in your unique voice. In this world of digital marketing, perseverance and a genuine love for what you do will set you on the path to success.
