Importance of Digital Marketing in Today.docxanjalibhole1
In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, businesses need to adapt their marketing strategies to stay relevant and competitive. Traditional marketing approaches are no longer sufficient to reach and engage with today’s tech-savvy consumers. Enter digital marketing, a powerful and essential tool that has revolutionized the way businesses connect with their target audience. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of digital marketing and why it has become an integral part of any successful marketing strategy.
Global Reach and Accessibility:
One of the primary advantages of digital marketing is its ability to transcend geographical boundaries and reach a global audience. Unlike traditional marketing methods that are limited to specific locations, digital marketing enables businesses to promote their products or services to anyone with an internet connection. Whether it’s through search engines, social media platforms, or email marketing, businesses can now engage with potential customers from around the world, expanding their reach and maximizing growth opportunities.
Targeted and Cost-Effective:
Digital marketing allows businesses to precisely target their desired audience. Through various tools and techniques, marketers can gather data on consumer preferences, behaviors, and demographics. This valuable information enables them to create personalized campaigns that resonate with specific segments of their target market. By targeting the right audience, businesses can optimize their marketing budgets and achieve a higher return on investment (ROI). Compared to traditional marketing channels such as TV or print advertising, digital marketing is often more cost-effective, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Measurable Results and Analytics:
Digital marketing provides unparalleled insights into campaign performance and allows businesses to measure their marketing efforts accurately. With tools like Google Analytics and social media analytics, marketers can track metrics such as website traffic, conversion rates, engagement levels, and much more. This data empowers businesses to make data-driven decisions, optimize their strategies, and refine their marketing tactics for better results. The ability to analyze real-time data also enables marketers to quickly adapt and respond to changing market trends or customer needs, providing a competitive edge in the fast-paced digital landscape.
Enhanced Customer Engagement and Interaction:
Digital marketing offers numerous channels for businesses to engage and interact with their customers. Social media platforms, email marketing campaigns, live chat support, and personalized content are just a few examples of how businesses can foster meaningful connections with their target audience. By actively engaging with customers, businesses can build brand loyalty, gather feedback, and gain valuable insights to improve their products or services. This direct line of communication helps busin
The ultimate guide to the new buyers journeyMarketBridge
At MarketBridge we have the privilege of working with hundreds of marketing and sales leaders every month. In those discussions one thing is abundantly clear: the customer buying journey is rapidly changing and organizations are struggling to keep up.
These dramatic shifts in buying behavior are well documented; independent research by Gartner and Forrester suggests that by 2020,
Digital marketing achieves targets of marketing a business through different online channels such as social media, email, websites, and mobile apps. It allows for bidirectional communication with customers and more targeted campaigns. Some key benefits of digital marketing include lower costs, global reach, measurable results, and higher returns on investment compared to traditional marketing. Examples of good practices in digital marketing include adopting an omnichannel strategy, leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics, and creating engaging content.
Optimizing Campaign Performance:
In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, campaigns are continually evolving. Data analytics plays a crucial role in monitoring and optimizing campaign performance in real-time. Marketers can track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and customer acquisition costs to assess the effectiveness of their campaigns. This data-driven approach allows for quick adjustments and refinements, ensuring that marketing efforts are aligned with business goals. For example, if a social media ad campaign is not delivering the expected results, data analytics can identify the underperforming elements, enabling marketers to make data-driven decisions to optimize the campaign.
Attribution Modeling:
One of the challenges in digital marketing is attributing conversions to specific touchpoints along the customer journey. Attribution modeling, powered by data analytics, helps marketers understand the impact of each touchpoint on the conversion process. This insight is invaluable for allocating marketing budgets effectively and optimizing the customer journey. For instance, a customer may first discover a product through a social media ad, conduct further research via a search engine, and finally make a purchase through an email promotion. Data analytics can attribute the conversion to each of these touchpoints, providing a holistic view of the customer’s journey

Although it’s nothing new, digital
marketing has become a major
game changer for both brands
and consumers in recent years.
We are so accustomed to digital
technologies that what was once
trendy (i.e. digital marketing) is
now the norm for ‘traditional’
marketing. And if that’s the case,
‘traditional’ has never looked
so good.
Digital marketing campaigns
provide quantifiable results like
nothing ever before, and the
multi-channel world is certainly
the biggest opportunity to hit
marketing strategies in decades.
But how can sophisticated
brand marketers keep pace
with everything new in digital
marketing? Where will it take us
next? And how can marketing
leaders use digital channels to
edge out competitors?
Today’s marketers are tasked
with attaining ideal customer
engagement, which requires using
tools for more accurate targeting,
strengthened loyalty, and
understanding of customer needs.
Customers want to connect with
businesses when they want to, in
whatever way they choose, and
they want immediate information.
Capitalizing on these demands can
position a marketing organization
for success, but it also can be
challenging to stay ahead of
customer expectations, while
meeting internal business goals.
Savvy marketers know that they
must also stick their toe into the
technology pond to achieve true
data-driven marketing, because
the line between online and offline
channels is not as defined as it
once was. Marketing creativity
and delivery will be continually
impacted by each new digital
evolution. The roads are wide
open for social and mobile
advancement, and according to
Gartner, there will be nearly 26
billion devices on the “Internet
of Things” by 2020 – yet another
challenge/opportunity
to address.
Where will the digitization of
customer interactions take your
brand? How can you anticipate
what the ideal customer
relationship will look like? How
will digitization affect your
internal marketing operations?
Talent, budgets, and creative best
practices must be invigorated for
efficient data-driven campaigns
that lead to more meaningful
customer engagements and
ultimately, higher revenue for your
company. In this white paper, we’ll
talk about what digital marketing
success can look like, which
obstacles may be in the way, and
how to get your digital strategies
up to speed.
INTRODUCTION

Marketers need to be looking at overall engagement. We get
bogged down too much in a click or a visit or an impression. When
we start to build behavioral models that track attribution over
multiple touch points, we will start to see patterns in when people
want to engage with us and what devices they want to use. Mobile
devices have forever changed how people interact with our brands,
and we need to start thinking about how active or interruption
messaging (SMS and email on mobile, push and banners) and
active messaging plus brand messaging (search, email on desktop,
landing pages) work together to drive action. To really make digital
work, it is all about looking at the data differently. The consumers
are telling us what they want, but are we listening?

WHAT WILL DIGITAL MARKETING
SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
As online interactions prove
to be the foundation of brand
communication, one thing is
perfectly clear to digital marketers:
the customer is definitely in
charge. The old push tactics of
recent years no longer garner a
response. Marketers must know
where customers are, what they’re
doing, and when they do it. At
the same time, customers expect
information when they want it
and available in the format they
choose. Every interaction with
your target customer provides
powerful clues as to who they
are and what they are seeking –
invaluable insight when developing
complex marketing initiatives.
Companies that utilize data-
driven marketing also know that
understanding the response
from each channel is especially
key when it comes to customer
analytics. The particular digital
device used by each customer can
even reveal valuable preference
and buying behavior.
The clues provided from a
customer’s preferred channels
of communication – email,
events, social media, call centers,
stores, smartphones, computers,
tablets, etc. – become critical in
delivering relevant digital content.
Personalization is also becoming
increasingly more important, and
more marketing organizations
are adding new technologies to
support their personalization
and dynamic content efforts for
various reasons, but primarily
to create a one-to-one
customer relationship.

To put data into action, marketers
need to know more about
campaign results, customer
behaviors, and brand impact.
This insight, combined with the
flexibility to leverage all data
available, provides a centralized
view of customer data from
across the organization. Marketing
strategies must leverage data and
insights to drive business forward,
particularly when using
real-time digital channels to
deliver messages.
Do you have tools that provide
insight into customer interactions
while increasing marketing agility
and efficiency?
DATA DRIVEN MARKETING
IN ACTION
The foundation for any credible
digital marketing initiative is
data. And that data now comes
from too many sources to
count, including both online and
traditional. Data-driven marketing,
then, is collecting and combining
large amounts of data from a
variety of disparate sources,
analyzing it for insight, and then
acting on what is learned in
the form of marketing tactics
relevant for each customer in
a highly individualized manner.
The goal, of course, is to make
intelligent, informed decisions on
how to engage with customers to
strengthen those relationships.
This graphic shows the complexity marketers face to generate greater revenue, architect
better experiences and increase value to customers. Each step in this loop is an essential
piece to marketing success.

All the data in the world is
useless unless it leads to
smarter decisions that drive
highly relevant digital marketing
strategies. The criticality of
analytics helps marketers both
understand and predict customers'
behaviors and fosters more
meaningful communications
designed to meet the needs of
those customers – all based on
what the data reveals. Campaign
analytics must be discerned and
applied to optimize performance;
otherwise there will likely not be
any growth to attribute to those
complex campaigns.
THE HUMAN FACTOR
Analytics are obviously telling,
but real intelligence comes from
knowing what to do with the
information. Savvy marketers
are aware of the human factor in
data-driven marketing. Customer
data represents real people with
opinions and buying habits, and
it's critical to take advantage of
what is learned from a combined
view of all interactions. If product
offers are optimized, for example,
to meet a customer's channel
preferences on an ongoing basis,
before long a company will have
achieved the most coveted asset –
a loyal customer.
Companies are not developing a data-driven marketing strategy
so they can use technology to analyze more kinds of data. They’re
moving to it because it can help them make more money.
- Darryl McDonald, President, Teradata Marketing Applications
If it weren’t enough to demand that marketers
deliver across channels, the challenges
become even more daunting because
messages need to adapt in real time. Because
of the complexities of delivering real-time
content in an automated fashion, this area
of digital marketing has been designated for
budget focus by many global companies in
the coming year.
MULTIPLE TOUCH POINTS
Today’s customers have multiple touch points
with a company, and they expect the brand to
have a full view of their interactions, no matter
what the channel. A customer’s pre-purchase
research may be conducted in a store or on a
smartphone, and the ultimate purchase made
on a computer or tablet. The responsibility
of tracking these points of contact for
better customer optimization lies within the
marketing department, which requires critical
communications with internal IT teams to
ensure that all channel data is being integrated
back into the analytics process.
Marketing leaders that guide
the integration and analysis of
all available data, then optimize
campaigns to not only create better
customer experiences, but also drive
more rapid growth and
stronger brands.

DIGITAL DISRUPTS
EVERYTHING
By its very nature, digital is
disruptive. We receive text
messages based on our location;
targeted banner ads follow us on
the web; and we’re fed content
with theoretically compelling
information and offers. Rather
than succumbing to the
distractions, marketers simply
have to focus on its impacts.
Customers are not only
conditioned to pay attention to
the so-called digital disruption
that’s taking place, they’re driving
it. In response, marketers need
to capitalize on the many ways
that digital marketing disrupts
one-to-one communication, value
propositions, customer experience,
and ultimately, the business
model. Digital marketing must
become less executional and more
strategic as companies continue
to embrace the digital model.
Coming to terms with digital
disruption will separate digital
marketing leaders from others.
Marketers will continue to have
access to more information
about their customers than ever,
most of it in real time, enabling a
truly personalized dialogue with
individual consumers. Companies
that communicate with customers
at the right moments and in a
way that triggers an emotional
response are increasingly the ones
that will win.

huge jump in traffic to the website and over
14 million new page impressions.
9. 9
The pace of change in the digital arena is breathtaking. Digital marketers
need to look at their strategies to mimic this pace — a short term
perspective. Digital marketers have inherited planning methods they
have used in the past when planning for direct mail and other traditional
channels. A year in advance they plan what they are going to mail so they
have time to work with the print shop and work backwards to hit their
mailing dates.
The one move marketers need to change is to take direction from the
IT software development team’s playlist — “Go Agile!” Agility focuses
on adaptive plans and development and allows for quick changes or
improvement and encourages these quick changes and a snapshot
understanding of results. This type of short term planning allows
marketers to adjust the strategy and adapt to unpredictability in the
digital arena. If this thought makes your hair stand on end, small steps
with a portion of your strategy will show this is a winning move that
should be rolled out across the marketing organization.

Founded in the Queensland
outback in 1920, Qantas has grown
to be Australia’s largest domestic
and international airline. The
company is widely regarded as
the world’s leading long distance
airline and one of the strongest
brands in Australia. Since its
launch 25 years ago, the Qantas
Frequent Flyer program has been
an important channel for retaining
and awarding regular customers,
and works with hundreds of
partner companies. Today the
program is nearly 10 million
members strong and generates
9 billion dollars revenue from
customer loyalty.
Adapting to the growing
complexity of customer
relationships, Qantas implemented
a customer management system
to further drive communications
and marketing activities. Qantas
opted for an integrated marketing
management (IMM) solution by
Teradata, supported by a customer
database and the Teradata
omni-channel marketing solution,
as well as further services from
Teradata.
The main channel for customer
interaction consists of email
contacts. Qantas’ Frequent Flyer
program currently runs more
than 250 campaigns each year
primarily via email channels and
dispatches 50,000 customized
newsletters per month. However,
the turnaround time for the entire
marketing process, including analytics,
selecting contacts, dispatching emails via
a third-party contractor, and collecting
feedback was taking as long as five days.
According to Stacey Nguyen, head of
collation analytics at Qantas, the process
and turnaround time of these campaigns
was a critical success factor, as market
conditions are changing and customers
increasingly expect companies to react
more quickly to their requests. “While
moving from pure ad-hoc initiatives to
repeatable operations marketing, we felt
that our disparate stand-alone systems
remained immature. They required too
much manual work and were too time-
consuming when dealing with the various
Qantas departments and our 400 partners.”
Qantas was aware that an upgrade to its
marketing management concept would
result in benefits to their communication
and marketing efforts. “The question we
had to answer was whether we wanted
to continue with separate solutions for
the internal customer management and
the external digital messaging,” Nguyen
explained. In this case, Qantas would have
had to connect the two distinct systems
to each other, which would have left the
upfront marketing planning and briefing
activities and their workflow unresolved.
“A more radical, totally integrated approach
was felt preferable.”
“The IMM can seamlessly grow with
our business. It ensures both cost
and resource efficiencies as well as
company-wide transparency of all
our marketing activities.”
TERADATA CASE STUDY:
THE QANTAS EXPERIENCE
11. 11
Triggered by the announcement
of Teradata’s acquisition of eCircle
in June 2012, Qantas seized the
opportunity to implement the first
true IMM solution and automate all
related processes. The objective
of the implementation was to
have all processes in-house
and subsequently have more
control over the different process
steps. Moreover, Qantas aimed
at building a modular solution,
which allows the company to
add further modules over the
next months and years. With the
Teradata omni-channel marketing
solution, Qantas now has a
single, in-depth and up-to-date
view of its customers, ensuring
the ability to communicate with
them in a significant, relevant,
and timely manor. In December
2012, Qantas and Teradata started
the installation of several service
components from Teradata: By
connecting campaign results with
internal operations and budget
allocations, the Teradata Marketing
Operations application (TMO)
provides a global view on the
company’s marketing program and
full accountability for all related
expenses. The Teradata Customer
Interaction Manager application
(CIM) uses customer purchase histories and
trends as well as social and mobile footprints
to give Qantas a broader view of their
customers. Complex segmentations and cross-
channel marketing analysis enable Qantas
to create and manage highly personalized
offers. Leveraging the Teradata Digital
Marketing Leveraging the Teradata Digital
Marketing Center, Qantas delivers these offers
in targeted and personalized messages to
selected customers.
“We can now send communications
and have conversations based on the
most recent customer information.
Our turnaround time has gone from 5
days to 4 hours and will be reduced
to 5 minutes through continued
improvement.”
Qantas also plans the implementation of
a further component: the Teradata Real-
Time Interaction Manager, which enhances
customer marketing opportunities with best-
offer detection for each customer, as well as
customized delivery strategies.
12. 12
Before this implementation, Stacey Nguyen
and her team are reviewing the transition
to make the processes even smoother.
“We encountered a number of challenges
during the transition period, but few which
had not been anticipated,” she explains.
The integrated approach differs from
a stand-alone Digital Marketing Center
system and changes the data sourcing
requirements. This called for careful
synchronization of upgrades with the overall
Qantas infrastructure. “Many of our legacy
functions were impacted by the transition,
and we needed to find the right person in
the organization to help resolve the issues.
Networking and corporate firewall aspects
required the most attention. Change
management was another challenge, as the
new solution and its benefits needed to be
communicated to all the marketing staff,
who were required to adopt a workflow
system they were not accustomed to,”
Nguyen explained. Looking back, Nguyen
would allow a wider community to be
involved as early as possible in the process.
A very positive aspect was to have clear
requirement specifications upfront, which
were continuously tracked and checked off.
TERADATA CASE
STUDY CONTINUED:
THE QANTAS EXPERIENCE

“The view on the project
must remain consistent
from the presales phase
through contracts and
implementations. Focusing
on the big picture is just as
important as never losing
sight of the details. Good
local working relationships
across all functional areas
and customized training
are essential,” Nguyen
underlined.
For the Qantas Frequent Flyer
program, the key benefit of the
IMM solution by Teradata is the full
integration with one single sign-
on for all sub-systems, which has
no redundancies and is based on a
robust and agile platform. According
to Nguyen, it can seamlessly grow
with the business and ensure cost
and resource efficiencies as well
as company-wide transparency of
marketing activities.
The Marketing Operations marketing
calendar documents all planned
actions, their timing, and their
budget. Access permission granted,
marketing activities are visible to
everyone in the organization. The
workflow management system
ensures that all staff is informed
about calendar updates. Further down in
the process, all types of data, including
customer behavioral information and
responses, can be sourced from the data
warehouse several times per day, leading
to near real-time interaction. The same
number of staff as before can now engage
in more value-added activity, as a result
of reduced administrative work. IMM
provides a roadmap to self-service and
optimization and helps users to focus on
their key tasks: good segmentation and
campaign management. Customers benefit
by receiving more timely and relevant
information from Qantas.
After the successful delivery of the IMM
foundation within nine months, Qantas
is now paving the way for new business
and new opportunities. “We can now send
communications and have conversations
with customers using the most recent
customer information. Our turnaround
time has come down from 5 days to 4
hours and will be reduced to 5 minutes
through continued improvements,”
Nguyen concluded.

IS EMAIL MARKETING
PROVING ITS VALUE?
With the social media tsunami
of late, rumors of the demise of
email marketing have significantly
increased. However, email remains
one of the most highly effective
digital marketing tools available.
According to research institute
MarketingSherpa, companies
sending over 100,000 emails per
month see a 94 percent return on
investment. They also report that
companies sending under 100,000
emails per month see a
139 percent return.
Also in support of the viability of
email, a 2014 report presented by
Gigaom indicates that 86 percent
of US digital marketers used
email marketing regularly, more
so than any other marketing tactic;
and 56 percent say it is their most
effective program.
The report boldly named email
“the digital marketing workhorse”
for customer acquisition, meaning
it was the foundation – and
often considered the single most
effective tactic – for reaching
all goals, including awareness,
acquisition, conversion, and
retention. When it came to
successful customer retention,
email dominated other digital
programs, leading second-place
social network marketing by nearly
20 percentage points.
Even in the face of social media,
email marketing is unwavering.
Industry analysts from
Econsultancy published a 2014
report on search marketing that
validates what digital marketers
already instinctively know. Email
ROI was rated “excellent” or
“good” by two-thirds of their
respondents, while only 41 percent
felt similarly about social media
marketing results. Other similar
industry surveys report that
people actually like email, as long
as it is targeted based on previous
shopping and preferences.
This is particularly true of digital
shoppers with 81 percent saying
they were at least somewhat likely
to make additional purchases,
either online or in a store, as a
result of receiving a targeted email
offer, according to a report from
Circle Research, a B2B market
research company. B2B marketers
must also note the power of email
to yield new leads. A significant
number of businesses say email
is one of their most effective lead
generation channels – and for B2B,
that figure is nearly 90 percent.

MESSAGING TO
MULTIPLE DEVICES
The reliance on email as
the foundation of your
communications strategy can
present a difficult challenge to
today's marketers. The good
news is that content can be
rendered on multiple screen sizes
based on the reader’s device of
choice. The challenge comes with
delivering visually appealing and
readable email content on all
devices regardless of resolution,
size, or screen orientation. Email
designs must work efficiently on
mobile devices such as tablets
and smartphones as well as on
personal computers.
The goal for email marketers is to
have their messages conveyed in
attractive formats that fit within
the parameters of the device
being viewed so that customers
not only want to engage, but can
engage without the frustrations of
incorrect formatting. Formatting
emails to adapt to devices –
responsive design – allows for
content to adapt to any screen
size, both mobile and desktop.
The result of responsive
design is device-specific
layout optimization.
What started out as something
that was nice to have but not
critical, responsive design has
moved into a high priority position
on marketers’ “must have” list
because of its profound impact
on the customer experience. If digital
marketing teaches us nothing else, it is
that customers are ”always on,” 24 hours
a day, using a variety of technologies to
access information. Thus a brand must
meet them where they are with easy-to-
consume content. Customers expect a
fluid experience between channels, and
responsive email design takes your brand
messaging to that nirvana.
Benefits of Responsive
Email Design
• Send visually appealing and legible
marketing messages to any device
• Increase open rates from
mobile devices
• Reduce subscriber opt-outs
• Ensure brand consistency for
every communication
• Simplified creation, coding, and analytics
of email campaigns
LASTING IMPRESSIONS
Customers will also appreciate that a
company’s responsive design makes it easy
to interact with them. They may not know
what it’s called, but they’ll know that a
business utilizing responsive design seems
more professional and accommodating.
By employing responsive design on email,
landing pages and entire websites, your
brand will leave indelible impressions on
your target audience.

I like to quote Bill Bernbach, who was at the helm of one of the most successful
agencies in the 1960s. He said, ‘It may well be that creativity is the last unfair
advantage we're legally allowed to take over our competitors.’ This still rings true
today. The fundamentals of good creative can make or break a brand.

Teradata Interactive
CREATIVE BEST
PRACTICES STILL MATTER
19. 19
Anyone responsible for the
marketing budget and ROI knows
the frustration of a campaign that
just didn't perform regardless of
placement and execution. Whether
for web, mobile, email, social, or
any other digital tactic, creative
is the driver of a campaign's
success. So how can today's
digital marketer find that sweet
spot of engaging prospects and
customers and making them want
to take action? It all starts with
the core concept. Execution is
important too, of course, but that
little nugget or spark or glimmer
of intrigue is the foundation
on which to build a successful
campaign. And of course there are
some best practices to help ensure
that a creative concept reaches its
full potential for the brand.
THE RIGHT MEDIA
Furthermore, a critical component
of digital marketing is selecting
the right media to share a brand's
story. Messages can be delivered
in something as brief as an SMS
message or 140-character tweet,
or as involved as an email with
links to videos, landing pages,
web pages, and additional
content sources.
Products and brands come alive
with animation, sound, video, and
interactive apps, all designed to
delight and engage. Depending on
the target audience, social media
can become a critical component
of any digital campaign. If we
recall the premise of data-
driven marketing – to reach
customers where they are, with
the information they want, and in
a manner in which they want to
receive it – then the consideration
of the right media in digital
campaigns becomes
critically important.

THE OMNI-CHANNEL VIEW
Clearly, mobile will continue to be a rapidly
expanding digital marketing channel, but it’s
just one of many. What will set successful
marketers apart from others will be the
continued implementation of omni-channel
strategies. Customers expect a seamless
transition among devices, so creating a
cohesive brand experience across the
channels will help ensure high engagement
and improved conversion rates. Every brand
has the power to create an omni-channel
experience by focusing people, processes,
and technology around the modern, multi-
screen customer.

interactions are blurring. Marketers in the
retail vertical have a head start on co-
mingling omni-channel data because their
most loyal customers have already learned
to demand service and message continuity
and consistency from the brands they
choose to support.
Omni-channel customers move through
stages of contact and interaction in
unpredictable ways. For example, channels
typically considered reserved only for
prospecting, or only for loyalty building,
should be available to customers at all
times, because omni-channel buyers don’t
think in terms of touch points. It’s the
experience that matters.
“A best practice is to let the customer choose which channel is most
convenient. Putting down bars or swim lanes gives the customer one more
excuse not to interact.”
- Deb Woods, Director of Product Management, Teradata

CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES
TO DIGITAL MARKETING
If marketing leaders have learned
anything over the last few
years, it is this: changes in their
professional field have been almost
blinding. From technology trends
to changing business models to
evolving customer expectations,
the digital transformation is
enough to make even the most
proficient marketer’s head spin.
ADDRESSING THE
CHANGES
Fundamental digital tactics and
mastering individual channels
are being overcome by the
need to create a common brand
experience across all channels, on
and offline. Customers expect to
access and consume information
across platforms, apps, and
devices, whenever and wherever
they want. The tools needed
to manage their activities are
often not integrated. Teams are
struggling to keep up with skills
needed to face emerging digital
channels. And, there is always
the age-old budget alignment
challenge. Determining where to
focus your team’s attention
is daunting.
So, how will sophisticated
marketers move forward to
address technology changes,
overcome a gap in the digital
marketing talent pool and
get buy-in for sufficient
budget allotment?
TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS,
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
Innovations in data capture
capabilities and personal
technology devices have put your
brand right into the customer’s
hands. The customer has the
ability to publish and share
opinions on your products and
services, and make purchasing
decisions at any time, through
their choice of channel, digital or
otherwise. In order to capitalize
on new opportunities of this
customer-centric environment,
revolutionary technology
capabilities are emerging to link
data-driven marketing initiatives
with omni-channel
customer expectations.
But it’s not only the world of
technology (the Internet of Things,
mobile apps, social platforms,
etc.) that marketers must conquer.
Companies also need to take
a look at how their internal IT
and marketing organizations
need to transform from distant
co-existence to intertwined
collaborators in support of
customer engagement goals.
Given the rapid pace of digital
transformation, impacts are being
felt by marketing, IT, and sales.
26. 26
Strong digital marketing
performance will require the
transformation of in-house IT
functions, which now face the
demands of highly automated
processes, sophisticated analytics,
and hyper-connected, digitally-
empowered customer. In efforts to
cope, the temptation to frantically
cut and paste technology solutions
to address ad hoc marketing
requests may become a necessary
evil. However, it will ultimately
create more confusion and shift
internal marketing operations
further away from a cohesive
technology infrastructure.

IMPACT OF DIGITIZATION
In response to a highly-digitized
consumer, marketers must tackle
some tough obstacles to rally their
resources, and implement new
ones. The impact of “digitization,”
both of customers themselves
as well as inside your marketing
organization, is changing
technology department demands
in three critical ways.
- Teradata Data-Driven Marketing Survey 2013, Global
27. 27- McKinsey Company, May 2014
Managing all this technology
can be a daunting proposition
when companies need to
decide on platforms for content
management, marketing
automation, CRM, social media
management, and digital
messaging. Marketing and IT
leadership must work together
with the common objective
of providing omni-channel
experiences for customers. Both
of these internal groups are
experiencing major shifts, moving
toward the point of convergence
where the customer sits. In
order to satisfy both internal
and external demands of digital
technology, businesses have to
knock down the in-house silos of
marketing and IT organizations,
and focus on delivering a fluid
customer experience.

increasingly sophisticated

THE DIGITAL
TALENT POOL
When faced with burgeoning digital
marketing initiatives and the reality of a
gap in talent, many companies decide
to outsource all or part of their digital
marketing. Some businesses find that their
campaigns require advanced skills and
that training current team members just
isn’t feasible. The approach to fill a digital
marketing talent gap can vary. In many
cases, companies are willing to outsource
creative, design, web development, and
social media because those skills are
non-industry reliant as opposed to more
industry-specific marketing roles which
determine strategy, pricing, product, and
distribution, for example.
In addition to becoming more technically
adept digital marketers are still expected
to possess the more traditional marketing
skills. These softer skills include being
adaptable, creative, able to identify
opportunities, hungry to learn, and
collaborative. Their already highly complex
roles will continue to evolve, and digital
marketers will see both the challenge and
the opportunity in their chosen work field.
“There’s a vast gap between the digital marketing expertise needed by organizations
and the talent actually available to them at every level.”

GETTING BUY-IN
Ironically, the digital marketing
group in an organization has
the biggest challenges in terms
of generating revenue for a
business, but it typically lacks the
appropriate resources to work at
full power. As noted, talent gaps
impede progress and so
does underfunding.
UNDER PRESSURE
According to a study conducted
by Leapfrog Marketing Institute,
marketers have honed in on
mobile and digital over the last
five years, but many companies
are still not able to execute them
properly. CMOs are pleased to
have stabilized or slightly larger
budgets, but they are under
tremendous pressure to deliver
measurable ROI.
The study indicates that the rise of
mobile technology and customers’
adoption of it is happening at a
pace that surpasses companies'
adoption abilities. Corporate
structures also appear to be
holding marketing back. The
inherently siloed nature of
corporations in general becomes
heightened when technology
outpaces the internal ability to
put it to good use. In recent years,
CMOs and chief technologists
have been working together
more and learning each other's
departments, yet the traditionally
siloed nature of companies is
slowing progress for marketers,
particularly in terms of
digital initiatives.
SILOS ARE TO BLAME
In addition, omni-channel
programs, which are considered
critical to the future of businesses,
are the least developed in
organizations. Silos are to blame
again because information is
simply not shared appropriately.

Digital marketing initiatives are in a constant state of trial and error.
Because they are relatively new and rapidly evolving, ROI is challenging
to prove in this dynamic environment. C-level buy-in is sometimes slow in
coming and that means silos remain and budgets are hard-fought.
Today’s marketing leaders have many organizational and technological
options to address the silo problem, yet truly rectifying it calls for taking
a strategic, data-driven approach toward creating a culture that unifies
decision-making by focusing squarely on the customer experience.

GAIN MORE CREDIBILITY
So, what can digital marketers
do to gain more credibility
and organizational heft? One
important effort is to help team
members grow their digital skills
or seek external expertise to
minimize the talent gap issues.
It is also critical to break down
internal silos by sharing digital
plans with technology, finance
and marketing departments
from the get-go. And, although
this may be slower in coming,
document campaign results
with fervor and share the results
both laterally and vertically
in the organization. Digital
will subsequently gain more
credibility, cooperation and
healthier budgets.

CONCLUSION:
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
FROM THE FRONT
Within the past five years, digital
marketing has evolved from a
peripheral task to a top priority
staple for any company that seeks
to make one-to-one connections
within an often competitive and
crowded marketplace.
It’s clear that the customer is in
charge and will continue to drive
how your company engages.
And the way you engage your
customer will have a significant
impact on both their experience
and their loyalty. The more you
know and listen to your customers,
the better you’ll understand them
and the market as a whole. That
knowledge, applied intelligently, is
the path to improve your ROI.
What constitutes a good
customer experience isn’t too
difficult to determine because,
after all, we’re all customers at
some point. We all appreciate
personal dialogue and focused
attention. So how do you
achieve a personal connection
when the conversation is digital
and the cues to pick up on are
web browsing patterns and
click-throughs? By applying
advanced analytics, you can
predict customer behavior and
deliver a highly personalized
communication or offer at
the precise moment when the
customer is most receptive
to receiving it.
36. 36
Marketers who are serious are going to CONNECT
with their customers and not just BROADCAST to them. For too long, the
online ecosystem has become a world of persistent billboards that follow
people to an inbox or a page anchor on a website. Successful marketers
will connect with customers and create/maintain an ongoing data-driven
dialogue … and that data must go both ways. Marketers must listen to their
customers even when they want the information flow to throttle-back.
Smart marketers are also going to treat first party opt-in as the currency of
marketing’s future.

FROM THE FOREFRONT OF
CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT
What may have been perceived
as being invasive just a few years
ago will now be just business as
usual. Customers expect that you
will know them and appreciate
such things as purchase
recommendations based on past
behavior. This level of relevancy
is becoming critical to how
customers view service quality
and their overall experience with
your brand. When that experience
is strongly aligned with their needs
and an understanding of what
they value most throughout the
entire customer journey with your
company, customers will give you
their loyalty.
Advanced marketing technologies
and analytics will continue to drive
relevant customer conversations,
moving companies closer to
generating not only sustainable
growth but also repeat buying
based on customer loyalty. With
an ever-growing level of digital
customer engagement, marketers
will continually gain fresh insight
about target customers
and markets.
From the forefront of customer
engagement, digital marketers
now hold the keys to long-term
brand viability for companies. As
the strategies and tactics continue
to evolve, these digital marketers
are driving their companies ever
closer to the coveted one-to-
one customer relationship at
exceptional speed.
