The six commandments of a digital marketing knight
Gartner predicts that, "By 2017, the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO." CMOs of mid-size to large organizations are increasingly accountable for spending millions on digital marketing activities and more importantly on optimizing the ROI. With a plethora of digital channels on the fore - such as core website, organic search, social, search engine marketing, display advertising and e-mail marketing - digital marketing heads are increasingly plagued with a simple question: "Where is the money?" Analytics can come to the rescue by providing the essential insights to determine where spending is producing the desired results and, more importantly, where it is not. This presentation explores six critical areas that are vital to success in the digital marketing game.
- Search engine optimization: Often the biggest "lost opportunity"
- Website analytics: Do you really know your customers "well"?
- An open-minded testing culture: From survive to thrive
- Paid campaigns: The good, the bad and the ugly
- Your social ecosystem: You don't know what you don't know
- Competitive intelligence: Someone aptly said, "Beg, borrow or steal."
