Create an agency plan that addresses:
• Mobile / local search / landing pages
• Local 3rd-party sites (G+ local, Yelp, etc.)
• Contextual and targeted media (long tail biddable)
• Content marketing (video, images)
• Social media (promoted posts)
• App discovery (API / open data / semantic markup)
• News and Syndication discovery (Press
releases, syndication)
• KPIs that cross digital, traditional, and agency lines
19. Build-in all these new search and
discovery tactics at the start of
campaign or site strategy.
20. Smart brands make them a
strategic component of the site or
campaign build.
Agencies are seeking to move up and down the value chain.
It’s easy to assign promotion to after-the-fact agencies or teams as the have the marketing budget and are not tied to capital budget limitations.
As platforms expand, new digital tactics arise to keep any one solution from being comprehensive. Your web analytics dashboard will not include social activity, your SEO platform may not include paid media activity. The digital marketer needs to sit in the middle and do the analysis to connect these activities together. You really cannot manage holistically unless you have all the various tools and platforms in place. No tool can replace the insights and connections that you the marketer can make.
