So I did a dual degree\u2014law and business administration. It was in the business administration degree that I really fell in love with marketing. In my second year, a teacher came in and taught marketing. That&#8217;s where I discovered the magic of marketing. Marketing isn&#8217;t just launching campaigns. It\u2019s much more. It\u2019s the intersection of understanding customers, the psychology of human behavior, the strategy of a business and brand, and your narrative. That blend of those three things\u2014that\u2019s the magic of marketing I saw in that course, and it\u2019s what\u2019s always attracted me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the progression of marketing in her time, Dushinka says things have changed a lot. &#8220;When I started, brands had much more control over their narrative. There was no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/how-ai-tools-are-impacting-and-shaping-the-future-of-digital-marketing-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital marketing<\/a> or analytics, so decisions were mostly gut feeling or intuition before you saw the results of your campaigns. Today, while the fundamentals of marketing strategy still hold, how we do marketing is completely different. It\u2019s a fast-moving industry, and brands aren\u2019t just pushing what <em>they\u00a0<\/em>want to say anymore\u2014it\u2019s about what <em>you<\/em>, the customer, want to say.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finding-the-difference-between-storytelling-and-storyliving\">Finding the difference between storytelling and storyliving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dushinka believes that while storytelling remains very important, &#8220;Storyliving&#8221; is playing an important role as well, she explains: \u201cIt\u2019s about designing brand experiences that consumers can actively participate in, not just observe. And for brands to create these experiences they must deeply understand how their products are lived with, shared, and talked about in real life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She recalls an early<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/career-sector-tracks-in-marketing-communication-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> career lesson<\/a> from her time in FMCG: \u201cA former boss once said, \u2018You\u2019ll never understand and connect with your customer until you go into their house and see what they actually throw away in their bins.\u2019 I was selling milk back then. When brands understand this, it is then when they can provide multi-sensory experiences that transport users into the brand world, it is when they can get customers to participate more in shaping their journey within the story and when co-creation happens and customers contribute to content or actions, adding authenticity.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-according-to-dushinka-storyliving-helps-make-storytelling-more-authentic\"><strong>According to Dushinka, storyliving helps make storytelling more authentic.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/modern-marketing-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/modern-marketing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/modern-marketing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/modern-marketing-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/modern-marketing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/modern-marketing.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You have to put the customer at the center of it. Otherwise, it won\u2019t work.&#8221; Dushinka points to the common pitfall of conveying features without mentioning benefits. &#8220;Features and benefits are not the same,&#8221; she says. &#8220;What does this feature actually do for me? How will it make me feel? That\u2019s where you can elevate the message and really connect with your audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-ai-is-transforming-marketing\">How AI is transforming marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A key change that Dushinka has seen in the marketing industry is the importance of data. Decision-making no longer relies on intuition\u2014though gut feeling still holds some currency\u2014but on results. We&#8217;re now seeing revolutionized practices with Artificial Intelligence for advanced segmentation, personalization or content creation, amongst others. This is an opportunity, says Dushinka, but one worth addressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; There\u2019s an overwhelming number of AI tools out there, and it\u2019s easy to get lost,&#8221; says Dushinka. &#8220;My advice? Start small and strategic. AI is not a magic wand, it\u2019s that assistant you always wanted. As a marketer, use it to streamline the repetitive tasks so you can focus on what matters: insight, strategy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/how-to-be-a-creative-miss-mela-habijan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creativity<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AI-powered tools become a natural part of marketing, Dushinka encourages new marketers to lean into innovations\u2014but not at the expense of human connection: \u201cWe live in both digital and physical worlds. Understand that your audience may be influenced offline as much as online. I see many brands rushing to abandon traditional channels, and that\u2019s often a missed opportunity to create truly integrated experiences.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-key-characteristics-of-a-marketer\">The key characteristics of a marketer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Dushinka, there are three characteristics of a marketer. <strong>Adaptability<\/strong> is the first: \u201cNever think anything is forever.\u201d Over the years, Dushinka has moved between roles in market research, branding, sales, and innovation. While those transitions can be daunting, she\u2019s always seen them as chances to grow. \u201cBeing agile through shifts and changes has been critical,\u201d she reflects. That openness to movement\u2014and the learning that comes with it\u2014has shaped her ability to navigate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/study-marcom-ie-business-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">marketing\u2019s fast-evolving landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally important is <strong>collaboration<\/strong>. Dushinka emphasizes the need to step outside the marketing bubble and understand the roles of other departments\u2014whether it&#8217;s finance, commercial teams or operations: \u201cIt sounds obvious, but it\u2019s not always easy. Putting yourself in others\u2019 shoes is crucial.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-that-transversal-attitude-makes-all-the-difference-it-helps-me-work-well-with-people-across-the-business-because-i-get-what-matters-to-them\">\u201cThat transversal attitude makes all the difference.
