MY ME & WHY NOW?

5

The INTERNET GUY at South African Tourism that was asking for forgiveness and not for permission. With more than 15 years of digital and internet experience in agencies and working on client side, and also having been the CTO at Flights.com Southern Africa.

Travel remains the biggest commodity sold online despite the global economic down turn, and has eclipsed Gold in the South African GDP, and last year more than 1Billion trips were made and more than 90% of those travel decisions have been made online…

CONTENT IS KING

9

The CONTEXT IS QUEEN so don’t think that all you now need to do is create lots more content and make sure it’s everywhere - making sure that you pay attention to the 4 Cs is critical in your content marketing efforts.

Context. Content. Curation. Creation.


360 VIDEO

10

The Visit Hamilton Island 360 video on YouTube demonstrates just how fast and how far 360 video has gone recently in the Destination Marketing and Travel space. The 360 video trend is one we cannot ignore now that consumers are more keen to experience more of the destination before they decide to go.

If a picture speaks a thousand words… Then video goes well beyond, and 360 video starts to take us into all kinds of new possibilities.https://youtu.be/lJype_TafRk


VR

11

The Virtual Reality applications for travel and hospitality allow users to experience an immersive video and audio designed experience to allow users to experience a destination or experience without being there in person.

VR has been tipped to be one of the emerging trends that destinations need to incorporate into their marketing and content creation projects going forward.


AR

12

The Augmented Reality essentially becomes a data imposed layer of information that is projected over a normal visual scene that enhances the picture for the user with much more information that is relevant and useful.

AR has been used very successfully in language and mapping applications like Google Translate and directional maps for transit systems.


SEARCH

13

The SEARCH marketing you do now needs to take the consumer’s specific needs and perceptions front and centre. They expect to find what they are looking for, fast, easy and specific.

The average US consumer now searches on average using a search phrase 27 words long.


MOBILE

14

The MOBILE DEVICE has changed everything. Consumers do more with their mobile than any other device and expects that your content and your property or attraction or service can be found and experienced in a mobile friendly format.

Today there are more mobile searches being done than ever before and consumers want everything on their mobile.

CONSUMER

20

The CONSUMER is no longer the same animal and cannot be tamed using the old tried and tested mass media marketing and advertising methods. The new consumer is totally different to who we thought we once knew.

Always on Always connected Constant needs for instant gratification and uses social media, peer to peer recommendations and wants to feel, experience and share more than before


SOCIAL

21

The SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION is here and has already changed everything.

SEARCH: “socialnomics”


22

SOCIAL IS BUSINESS

23

The SOCIALNOMICS Effect is impossible to miss and has become big business across the world, and has completely revolutionised the way businesses, marketers, brands and consumers interact.

It’s no longer a question if you need to do social media, it’s all about how well you do social media.
