Spending Up, But Marketers Still Have Big Digital Blind Spots

Spending Up, But Marketers Still Have Big Digital Blind Spots | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

A new report from Forrester reveals that — finally — marketers are treating digital marketing as part of their overall strategy, with 50% of the executives it surveyed planning to increase digital spending this year. And those expenditures are now equal to spending on traditional marketing.

But the survey also reveals that while most marketers are talking a good game — with 80% agreeing that their company has the skills required to be successful in digital marketing — their confidence falls apart when they need to get specific, such as their ability to recruit digital talent, collaborating across functional areas, or even aligning to-do lists across the organization....

Moving into digital but some marketers remain stuck in old thinking according to Forrester.

So true!  When will they learn that tv style commercials and banner ads taken from magazine ideas are just not productive in the digital world!  Have you EVER really watched an ad before a YouTube video?  I have NOT watched a video I was going to if there is no way to skip the ad.  Why do they think DVR's are so popular - its not just the on-demand its skipping the commercials!

Simplify Your Content Marketing Strategy with a One-Page Plan

Simplify Your Content Marketing Strategy with a One-Page Plan | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

As CMI research shows, marketers with a documented content marketing strategy are more effective than those who don’t have a written strategy. Yet, only 27% of B2C and 48% of B2B marketers have developed a plan.

If you lack a written strategy, a one-page plan is a great place to begin. If you have a detailed strategy but struggle to gain traction, boiling it down to one page will make it easier. A one-page strategy can help you:

-  Crystalize your content marketing strategy
-  Gain stronger buy-in more quickly from executives or clients
-  Keep content producers strategically aligned...

How does a company prove digital media's effectiveness?

How does a company prove digital media's effectiveness? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

My client's objective was to design and take advantage of new technologies and trends to develop a new approach to accurately measure media effectiveness.


...There are four stages to follow. Initiation, Integration, Intelligence, and Value Creation.


Every action my client takes – from answering the phone at the front desk to the most complex product installation – makes a statement about how that company values customers. These moments in time are when a brand comes to life, when promises made are either kept or broken. Jan Carlzon, former President of Scandinavian Airline Services called these instances “moments of truth”. He defined them as “any time a customer comes into contact with any aspect of your business, however remote, the customer has an opportunity to form an impression.


”Moments of truth, when repeatedly resulting in positive outcomes and experiences, lead to customer loyalty. Customer loyalty is a state of being that is defined by behaviors and experiences on BOTH sides of the relationship – vendor and customer – that lead to a state of value creation for both parties. Loyalty can’t be measured by repeating business alone...

The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy

The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

According to a study by Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs only 38% of B2B companies think their content marketing is effective. The same study also states that only 35% of the companies have a documented content marketing strategy.

Desiree Mitcham's curator insight, December 8, 2014 11:55 PM
