Certain companies that sell to marketerstake advantage of this.

“Social media” is just a collection of channels over which these things can be done:


People Hate “Growth Hacking”


Why the Buzzwords?


So, how do we move forward in our marketing relationships?


Go Back to the PastWhen Going Into the Future


Marcom 101 Review

Segment and research the target market

Establish product-market fit Set a pricing strategy Create a location or delivery strategy Decide on a promotion mix

Research which online and offline channels are best to use

Create the marketing collateral Transmit the content to the audience Measure results and adjust as

needed

Strategy first: Tactics second:


Marcom 101 Review

The Internet and mobile:

1. Are just new sets of communications channels

2. Simply allow for new formats of marketing collateral


It’s not “digital marketing.”

It’s marketing over digital channels.


But Remember This!


Don’t go into dating or marketingwith bad assumptions.


The Mistaken Assumptionsin “Digital Marketing”

“Social media is the future!”


But Who Uses Social Media?


Few Follow & Engage With Most Brands

“80 million Americans will eat at least one Oreo this year, meaning the Super Bowl Twitter campaign reached less than 1% of its target market. Still impressed?

Lazy journalists and social media pundits have over-represented social media’s impact to marketers who lack the critical faculties to assess social media’s value.”

– Mark Ritson

The Mistaken Assumptionsin “Digital Marketing”

“TV is dead!”


Completely Wrong!


Why Do Marketers Make Bad Assumptions?


The Echo Chamber…


…Leads to Bad Marketing…


…And Bad Relationships


Take your dates to the right locations.

Use the best marketing channelsfor your target audience.


In the End

It’s all about finding the right people, taking them to the right places, and having open communication.

Do this over time to build a lifelong relationship – in relationships and in marketing.
