GROWING UP
Facebook now ¼ of the population and growing via mobile, fast-becoming a mainstream marketing platformAs an agency our focus on Facebook, Twitter and InstagramSocial Media video proving to be massive: seeing a shift from large-scale video productions to smaller, nimbler micro videos that grab attention (Challenge to do economically and at scale).
Digital commanding more and more budget in the digital marketing and business ecosystem, literally following the audience
MASSIVE DIGITAL GROWTH
Massive digital fragmentation: with growth -many choices, lots of confusion
Digital agencies are strong on strategy to navigate through digital complexity, advise clients on which platform, how to engage (changing constantly), but have challenges creativelyTraditional agencies strong creatively, but challenges when need to advise on core business decisions, often locked into old school veneer marketing
FRAGMENTATION
Industry has been shaken up, Internet disrupts industries, disrupted agency industry itself: Custom publishers ->
“Content marketers”; Who owns social? PR or digital agencies? Audit companies -> Digital strategy, acquiring digital agencies;
Digital Agencies -> Traditional Agency workDebate specialisation vs Integration:
Integration in the end, but a long transition
DISRUPTION
Digital has forced agencies deeper into client’s business, provide more input into business; more than just design of an app,
but advise on functionality of app, which is directly tied to client’s business.Highly measureable too therefore measure
instant impact on business – brings agencies closer to the business.
DISRUPTION
• Banner ad market is collapsing• Banner ads alone are not enough and predate social media &
search era: not shareable, searchable, emotionally engaging or ‘interruptible’
• (Users don’t mind interruptions if advertising relevant & useful – Google showed us this, as well as niches)
• Impossible to ‘distribute’ banners within internet, a medium that is all about distribution & sharing
NEW AD MODELS
- Native advertising a form of advertorial (2.0) or content marketing for search & social era
- Is part of a site’s core newstream, plugs into its existing distribution network (RSS feeds, social media, email, apps, syndication etc)
- Is part of search & social ecosystem- Is ‘interruptive’, shareable, lives “forever” like
articles- Encourages user engagement (commenting)
NATIVE ADVERTISING
Native advertising part of a new Content Marketing wave, which demands more subtle, less intrusive, more targeted marketing in the digital age where users can turn off advertsing (PVRs, ad blockers).
… and attention won in this fragmented, busy, noisy digital world is through relevant, quality content!
CONTENT MARKETING
Glimpse of advertising in the future. Hint: it will not be on your
phone or in a browser
