Evolution in planning paradigm

Digital media plans must answer these questions:

+ How can we share intelligence between media disciplines?

+ Do all media channels support a uniform message?

+ Can consumers find us when/ where they want?

+ How can we track their behavior to make smarter marketing/ business decisions?

Challenges

Tunnel vision

Solution

Lead strategically, not tactically

+ Bring everyone together during an initial kick off to plan in a strategic and integrated fashion

+ Leverage media disciplinary experts (e.g. social media)

Fragmented reporting

Solution

Integrate reporting and assign media channel KPIs

+ Segmented reports do not illustrate the big picture

Accountability

Solution

Every discipline affects a marketing ecosystem, so everyone is accountable for output.

+ Attach goals to various departments and make sure everyone is onboard with the integrated marketing plan.

+ I’m on a horse: Do you think the social media and video teams for the Old Spice campaign planned in isolation?

Scenario planning

Solution

+ Plan for every iteration of a campaign and don’t sell yourself short.

+ Before you initiate a campaign, take pause to see any gaps that are easily overlooked when you’re knee deep in execution
