Digital Marketers Are Facing a Crisis That’s Costing Them Billions

Digital Marketers Are Facing a Crisis That’s Costing Them Billions | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The marketing industry has a crisis on its hands. Most marketers don't know how to successfully craft and execute a digital strategy or measure ROI, according to a recent study. This is the marketing skills gap, and ninety percent of marketers say their team suffers from it. So what can they do?
 
The problem isn't that the marketer's role has fundamentally changed in the digital era. Rather, the technology they're expected to use is continuously transforming. Meticulous data management, stellar content and an optimized cross-channel approach have become expected. Unfortunately, many managers at agencies have a hard time keeping up.


"The Future-Proof Marketer in 2015," a new guide from Grovo, explains how organizations can educate a new kind of marketer—one with a keen sense of how customers interact with brands, content and products. These are the skills the guide covers in detail....

How The Collapse Of The Cable Business Model Will Bring A New Era Of Television

How The Collapse Of The Cable Business Model Will Bring A New Era Of Television | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The problem is, as I’ve noted before, that content is crap.  Nobody walks out of a great movie and says, “Wow! That was some great content.”  Nobody listens to content on their way to work in the morning.  We never call anything we like “content,” the term is a mere fantasy in the minds of business planners.


That, in essence, is why despite the predictions of digital pundits, the TV industry has continued to prosper.  Through a series of disruptions—cable, DVD and now streaming video—programing has continued to evolve.  Now, with the cable business model starting to unravel, we can expect an explosion of creative energy that will usher in a new golden age of TV....

During a recent conversation with the EIU, John Hagel, co-chairman of Deloitte’s Center for the Edge, shared his “formula” for marketing success in the future. Here are some of his key points that resonated with me
