As the first month in 2014 draws to a close, strategies incorporating Mobile, Marketing Automation, Content Marketing, Email Marketing and Social Media should now be the norm across every marketing department. It is a little worrying that only 79% of marketers have incorporated social media in their traditional marketing activities, according to the infographic below. The latest digital revolutions mean that we now have access to information instantly, anywhere at anytime, but creative marketers will still need to think outside the box and stretch themselves further.
Michael Brenner,Vice President of Global Marketing at SAP, gives an example of this mentality on Forbes: “One of the biggest trends I am seeing involves brands acting as producers – going beyond the publisher mentality and setting up newsrooms and production studios. Netflix (“House of Cards”), Red Bull (Media House) and Amazon (Alpha House) are just the first wave of this emerging trend”.
Econsultancy’s CEO Ashley Friedlein has listed 10 Digital marketing and ecommerce trends for 2014. I think we will definitely see all of these play out for the rest of the year.
