IS YOUR DIGITAL MARKETING FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS?
The Digital Marketing Checkup begins with a series of 20 questions that rate your organisation on a scale of 1-5. Each question corresponds to the Five Pillars of Digital Marketing. If you answer honestly, you will be able to clearly identify which areas you are lacking and what is holding you back from growing your business.
We refer to this person as the Digital Marketing Unicorn. Sadly, they do not exist. Digital marketing is nuanced and is not a one-person job nor a general marketing skill, but rather a team or an agency of specialised professionals. It takes 1000’s of hours to become an expert – When hiring an agency like TheOnlineCo., you are hiring a team of people who devote hours of highly trained expertise per month to your marketing to get it right, contact us for industry leading advice.
People often ask for help with “a thing” like SEO or Google Ads or social media. These are not bad questions or the wrong question, however, it’s the second question of three.
In order to have a successful marketing campaign you need to first have a marketing strategy, followed by tactics, then excellent execution.
The first question we should ask is:
“How do I achieve our business goals by talking to the right people at the right time with the right message.”
When we hear AI, our imaginations run wild, and we start to see Terminator and robots taking over the world. According to KPMG’s 2022 Annual What is Keep Us Up Report, that 77% of corporate executives worry about upskilling employees for a digital future. However, it is my belief that we have inflated expectations of technology. We need to understand the capabilities of AI and embrace it as a tool to help us in our work.
