Why All the Unicorns?

Larry Kim Unicorns

The name Larry Kim is forever equated with unicorns.

What do unicorns mean for marketing and entrepreneurship? Consider the parable of the donkey and the unicorn.

Donkeys are a dime a dozen but a unicorn is a unique rarity.

When it comes to marketing campaigns, most efforts yield little reward. Anything in this realm is a donkey.

Every now and again you come across a magnificent unicorn.

When you find a unicorn, Larry believes you should invest all your time and energy into that. Unicorns are the high-impact activities that drive the majority of results.

Unicorns are a symbol that resonate with the digital marketing community at large. Two billion unicorns later, it’s an analogy that still holds strong.
