Most Internet users don’t take the protection of their data too seriously, and companies are often unable to keep up with the rapid development of closing threatening security gaps quickly enough. Politicians, too, have long been unwilling to enforce existing data protection laws.

In the first SEO-News of the new year we deal with what makes life really exciting: contrasts and conflicts. We can reassure anyone who thinks that we would participate in the ongoing gender discussion within this framework. It remains with Search, more precisely the antagonism of reach vs. conversion, as well as the eternal struggle SEA vs. SEO.

As designers we are always on the lookout for something new and unique: something that stands out from the crowd and grabs our attention. Constantly on the hunt for the “face” or the look with the potential to take brands into new territory. Fairly often, even if subconsciously, we return to what we already know.

From a marketing perspective, fragmented consumer use of media means that there are now an unmanageable number of touchpoints in the consumer journey. This development has been exacerbated by the long-standing trend towards maximum personalisation of consumers’ life plans, with high demand for products and services that are personally relevant. “One size fits all” has long been a thing of the past.
