Topics and Trends in Direct and Digital Marketing
Posted in WVU Marketing Communications Today with tags Digital ..., Guest: Susan Joney, Host: Cyndi Greenglass on July 10, 2018 by OC Talk Radiohttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-8uxp6-94db02
Today we will discuss the continued move toward the integration of direct and digital marketing and the balance of online and offline media focused on the consumer. We’ll talk about trends in database marketing, and how a creative person can uniquely contribute to the use of insights from the database I also want to touch on the current climate regarding consumer privacy concerns. Host is Cyndi Greenglass.
Talking points include:
- Many in our industry feel that Direct Marketing is no longer an effective description for the practice of addressable and measurable communications. In fact, I believe that you are an advocate of using “Direct and Digital Marketing”. Tell me how this had developed and why you feel that this is a better way to describe the industry today.
- So, with digital marketing coming on so strong, should we start planning the funerals and eulogies for traditional media like print, catalogs and TV are on their way out?
- Do you believe in the reality of “Omni channel” or is it still a future aspiration for us marketers?
- How do your creative skills help you to use information from databases?
- Much of database marketing sounds pretty complex and possibly quite expensive. Can small and medium-sized companies afford to develop and use helpful databases, or is that just for the bigger firms?
- There is much concern in today’s world about personal privacy. In Europe, the new GDPR mandates went into effect a few weeks ago. Do you see more privacy legislation and regulation coming up in the US as well?
- Content Marketing is another hot topic in the direct and digital world these days. With so many firms developing content marketing programs, how can a marketer make sure that their information stands out?
