Taking Engagement to the Next Level

Engagement, Social Media

Every marketing manager understands how increasingly important it is to push better, more interesting and more entertaining content out to their audience. Gone are the days of the old skool brand magazine that includes the month’s latest deals and offers that any Tom, Dick or Harry can pick up from anywhere on the high street. Your audience wants to be engaged with, and on a more enhanced level than ever before.

Last year, a lot of brands talked about becoming multi-channel, but it’s increasingly apparent that you now need to be multi-media as well. And your content has to be good; you have to offer something that your audience wants to see or learn about.

M&S is a great example of a big brand using video and social media to interact with their audience. M&S have recently announced that they’re bravely embedding all comments from social media into its online video, to improve engagement and essentially boost sales.

In our own experience, digital marketing activity continues to be the focus of 2011 – and with the amount of content available publically, it’s hard for traditional agencies to argue with this fact. The spotlight (in particular) seems to be on social media and mobile advertising.

Digital marketing budgets are up from last year. The recent Econsultancy Budgets Report states that 72% of companies are increasing their digital marketing budgets this year. Of this 72%, the majority of companies are increasing digital budgets by a whopping 30% since 2010. (more…)

Industry News, Twitter

This week has seen the re-emergence of allegations that media giants Google and Facebook are two of a handful of companies interested in buying social media platform Twitter.

As a channel, Twitter has boomed in the last two years, seeing phenomenal sign-up rates from industry leaders and tech-savvy consumers alike.
