Digital marketing includes all aspects of marketing that rely on the Internet and online-based digital technologies. It encompasses how people use desktop computers, mobile devices, and other digital media and platforms to find products, services, information, and answers.
Examples of digital marketing include Brand Building, Knowledge Graph Management, Content Creation, Social Media Marketing (SMM), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and Search Engine Marketing (SEM). Strategies differ by niche; for example, Dental Marketing and Medical Device Marketing.
A digital marketer manages all the marketing campaigns that build a company’s brand and promote its products. This person’s role includes creating marketing alignment to enhance brand awareness into the digital space to drive traffic and acquire qualified leads and customers.
A digital marketing strategist takes responsibility for setting clients’ strategic brand and business marketing plans. This begins with clients offering them consultive guidance and working with internal and external teams to implement strategies.
In 2024 and beyond, we expect that hyper-personalization will be necessary for agile marketing environments. It will require skills of utilizing advanced analytics and AI machine learning to deliver individualized content recommendations, product suggestions, and expand your knowledge graph.
We also anticipate that voice recognition will be the primary trigger to interact with technology and marketing stacks. The intent behind Google’s search generative experience (SGE) is to make all forms of search query prompts more intuitive. Since more and more people are simply “speaking” their questions to a search engine, digital marketers must align.
Be prepared to leverage a captivating blend of AI and immersive experiences along with creating more helpful content. If you are in the B2B space, it’s a good time to review and update your B2B marketing strategies.
As consumer trends, technology, devices, online behaviors, and opportunities constantly expand and evolve, it often feels challenging to keep. The eCommerce industry has more emerging opportunities to take advantage of – and more accompanying challenges along with stiff competition.
Business owners, managers, and SEOs already have much to do, which is why automation is a growing trend. Automating email messaging, lead nurturing, paid search optimizations, content creation using generative AI, and social media posts help. Every business needs to stay on top of business growth without compromising the time it must dedicate to operations for digital success. We talk a lot about what it takes to reach new markets.
Google has recently published the statement, “Marketing equals value creation. According to Marie Gulin-Merle, global VP of ads marketing: “This is a challenging moment, to be sure. But it’s also an opportunity to prove and solidify marketing’s role as a profit center. And AI is the enabler to help you do it.” Being skilled and having the tools to align digital best practices with the new world of Generative AI Answers takes a lot of time and passion.
It continues with, “The practice of marketing is being fundamentally transformed by two events: the rapid acceleration of AI and the phaseout of third-party cookies later this year. Together, these changes will remake the status quo of digital marketing — and redefine how we do our jobs.”
People who use the Internet want relevant experiences when searching online and expect transparency and control over their data. Today, we attended an FTC event that focused on AI’s role in the future of digital marketing. Clearly, new levels of competition, guidelines, and laws are emerging.
Companies that lack building these relationships with their customers and investing in the new SGE and Google Entity Search risk losing organic traffic that their revenue may rely on. Digital marketing effectiveness, functionality, and building clients’ knowledge graphs will be increased areas of need.
Google projects that “By the end of 2024, it will be harder to reach your customers with digital ads, understand who took action on your ads, and measure how they interacted with those ads.” So, we would recommend that you ramp up your efforts to gain visibility on the SERP. That means investing in semantic search and current AI technologies.
It is important to learn how Google sees your brand entity. Then your digital marketing strategy can be shaped effectively.
