Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Media has fragmented, and the traditional marketing funnel is more like a bowl of spaghetti. Proactive, megaphone messages can get lost in the shuffle, or easily tuned out by customers. Especially in ED, where the target audience is so narrow, focusing on inbound marketing is a better way to promote. Create smart, HELPFUL content and put it in places and formats will it will be found. Google’sground-breaking Zero Moment of Truth research (zeromomentoftruth.com) found that we are moving to the era of self-serve information.
