Digital meets Traditional More than Half Way
Summarized the need for digital to become more integrated in the traditional agency world. No surprises here. Presented three intertwined ideas needed to make this happen:
* Better understanding of what digital marketing can do/already does
* Justify expenditures through measurement
* Find leaders, not thousands of voices
General thoughts that developing an ROI model may be the key to unlocking the potential of digital in agencies. Whether creation of a model is realistic remains undecided. Perhaps expanding a blogger code of conduct to include the role of digital marketing may force a greater understanding and development of a model.
Email campaigns are easy sells. While they are the digital extension of traditional push marketing (invasive throw aways), no metrics existed at the onset. Why has it become part of a marketer’s toolkit when more social pull technologies remain a fight?
