Transforming Marketing and PR Through Digital Advancements: Uncovering Four Key Shifts
In today's interconnected world, businesses and companies are navigating a complex landscape of reputation management, digital marketing, and the adoption of new and emerging social media platforms.
Traditional methods of market research and data mining, such as written forms and calls, have taken a backseat to innovative techniques like webcam interviews, text analytics, crowdsourcing, and mobile surveys. A study by greenbookblog.org reveals a 23% increase in the use of mobile surveys over the past year.
The digital age has brought about a significant shift in the way brands and companies are perceived. Social media avenues have become a double-edged sword, where businesses can be monstered and people's lives ruined just as easily as they can be elevated. This underscores the need for companies of all sizes to maintain a watchful eye on how they are portrayed.
The future of the marketing and PR industry is bright, with a focus on reputation and identity management, digital marketing, and the adaptation to new social media and review platforms. Emerging techniques in market research and data mining include behavioral Economics models, sensor-based data collection, and wearables-based research.
Video has become a significant part of the digital marketing world, offering benefits such as testimonials, instruction, demonstration, and comedy. Despite the varying quality of videos, producing a good video, even in 4k, is now considered cheap and easy.
Twitter recently introduced an autoplay feature for videos to compete with established platforms like Google and Facebook. Social media, however, can be a breeding ground for both witty, insightful, and vindictive comments, as well as a hiding place for anonymous reputation savaging.
Reputation/identity management is a well-paid field at the upper echelons, with methods for finding both negative and positive communications expected to evolve further through social media and review platforms yet to emerge.
In this crossroads of legacy and new media, traditional outlets like newspapers, radio, and television still hold relevance alongside digital avenues such as Buzzfeed, Quora, and Twitter. The three new techniques that emerged in 2014, connecting psychology, technology, and fashion, involve digital interventions that influence emotional attachment, game design elements affecting user engagement, and advancements in user interaction technologies such as augmented reality and human-machine interaction.
Brands and companies will always need promotion in both traditional and digital media. The digital interconnected 21st Century allows potential instant communication with anyone, including loyal customers and important influencers. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and paid search are part of the overall realms of digital marketing.
As we move forward, the marketing and PR industry will continue to evolve, adapting to the changing landscape and embracing new technologies to stay ahead in the game.
