Digital Viral & Buzz Marketing Academy (Advanced)
Writing your viral marketing plan

23rd June 2008 | London


Why do some campaigns gain a life of their own on the web and others never get talked about? Why do some marketing budgets stretch much further than others on the web? Why do some firms fail to unlock the value of their existing websites, content and messaging? Viral and buzz marketing are powerful sets of tools and in the right hands they can transform a web marketing presence. In the early days of the web, viral was confined to emails and video clips, but today’s rich landscape includes the range of social media, widgets and rethinking the design of your own website. Digital marketing veteran Danny Meadows-Klue leads this intensive Digital Training Academy (advanced level) which includes a marketing planning workshop that will help you turn these ideas into a structured plan for your business.

Getting blogging to work effectively for your brand

Thursday, 12 June 2008

Digital Blogging Academy (Advanced)
Writing your blog marketing plan

12th June 2008 | London

Blogging is one of the most intimate and persuasive communication tools, yet why do most blogs fail to get readers and most readers fail to engage with blogs? In a channel that’s free to use and can transform the perception of a brand, why is much of the content copied and pasted from press releases and given scant attention by marketing teams? Get it right and blogs can transform customer communication into deep and immersive dialogue that changes brand image, conveys complex information and builds a buzz that gets customers talking and taking your messages further. From business to business and high tech, to corporate social responsibility and crisis management, blogs can be at the heart of integrated marketing communications. In today’s rich digital landscape they can form the anchor of a social media strategy, and harness email, RSS and feeds to build regular customer contact.

Getting campaign measurement and optimization on the right track

Tuesday, 20 May 2008

European EMetrics Summit

logo_emetrics.gifInternet advertising veteran Danny Meadows-Klue asks whether publishers explains that although publishers sell media space, advertisers are buying customers – and that’s where the problems start.

  • What metrics matter in optimizing online ad campaigns?
  • Can a little optimization really have a massive effect?
  • What are the trends in online advertising effectiveness that are impacting optimization and performance?

Danny lifts the lid on web advertising and argues that optimizers are the unsung heroes of the marketing industry and that these are tricks almost every brand is missing.

Marketing to the FaceBook Generation: The role of social media in the communications mix

Thursday, 08 May 2008

Southampton, Communication director’s forum

07-10 May 2008, Southampton

There has been a fundamental shift in how customers, employees and the media want to be communicated with, demanding to participate and influence rather than simply be communicated 'at'. Through a raft of accessible and affordable technologies (social networks, blogs, wikis, podcasts - the list goes on) organisations can respond to this demand, create relationships and build loyalty. But this explosion of user-generated content presents a number of issues for the communications department, not least the upholding of brand values, maintaining a focus, managing the risk to reputation, and changing roles to become a participant in the conversation rather than the controller. Danny Meadows-Klue covers the nature of social media, the communication models, the role of brands as participants and enablers, the risks, and the models for integration into wider marketing. DigitalTrainingAcademy.com also takes a hard look at the value of these new channels and how brands on any budget can harness them. You will hear about some of the emerging trends and their impact on the future of communications.

Digital Publishing Strategy Academy: Integrating online advertising into web editorial - models and strategies

Tuesday, 08 April 2008

8th April 2008 | Paris

Getting online news media to earn real revenues is a tougher challenge than many newspaper directors expect. Web advertising spend may now be larger than newspaper advertising in many countries, but that doesn’t mean newspapers can expect a big share. The search engines, portals and sales networks continue to dominate the sector, and as the next wave of revenue pours into social media like Facebook, newspaper sites need to fight to earn their share.

The Devil’s In the Detail... (And the detail is the data)

Wednesday, 19 March 2008

richmondevents.gif

“The Internet is brilliant – you can measure everything”. How many times did you hear this phrase in the early days of digital marketing? A few years on, does the promise measure up to reality, or does this sound more familiar: “we’re drowning in numbers, but lacking in meaningful analysis” and “we’ve got half a dozen different versions of the truth”?

Digital marketing futures

London, IDM Agency Heads' Dinner

Where have we come from and where are we heading? 2008 is shaping up as the year of video, targeting and the battles of the portal giants. 2007 was the social media frenzy and the big wave of consolidation. In 2006 blogging went mainstream, and in 2005 online jolted to the centre of marketing attention. Only a year before had it slipped ahead of the size of the radio sector, marking a ‘coming of age’ of the medium. And only a decade before that did the first online newspapers and web media launched in the UK. In an incredibly short time, the new kid on the block has grown up and matured in a thousand ways.

Digital Marketing Trends & Futures Academy (Executive edition)

Building strategies for digital brands

6th March 2008 | London

Why do some firms get digital channels so right that their brands accelerate to become household names almost overnight? How can the complex noise of the digital landscape be decoded into principles that you can apply

Marketing is changing on a scale we’ve never seen before, and within a timeframe most can barely assimilate. The changes are so vast, many businesses feel like rabbits caught in the headlamps. The sudden arrival of the Digital Networked Society in our homes and offices in the mid 90s created new frameworks for social relationships and a new landscape for trade. For the brands that get it right, new markets are unlocked, with new ways to reach out to strangers, turn strangers into friends and friends into customers. Market shares are on the move, and the balance of customer communications is suddenly being rebuilt. All this in a globalised economic structure that means the opportunities and threats have never been greater.

Social networks - the secret of success for online magazines

PublishingExpo.gif
Olympia, London

Social media has changed the rules of publishing. These days any publisher who isn't connecting their readers together is missing out on the biggest driver of traffic and revenue. Involving the audience in the content of a site may still feel like a big leap, but as the web has grown up, the models of publishing have too. In this session Digital's team explore the principles behind effective social networking and ask why most publishers get it wrong. They provide plain spoken commentary about what magazines large and small need to be doing, and look at simple steps for getting started. Senior Associate Consultant Tom Bureau leads this session for us. As the former UK Managing Director of multi awardwinning CNET Networks, Tom built their range of online magazines, portals and networks based on the power of social networking. As part of this Digital Training Academy, Tom will be taking general questions about social media and Digital's Team will be feeding these into a live online classroom for event participants.

How to win more customers through the web.

14 December 2007 - Date to be confirmed

An intensive Digital Training Academy that glues together the smartest techniques for cost effectively winning customers through web marketing.
The web has become the most powerful of marketing channels, yet most firms still fail to get it right, missing dozens of opportunities to win more customers who are out there and waiting to buy. That’s why we were asked to create this programme of business strategy coaching that works for marketers at any level. Danny Meadows-Klue cuts through the jargon, to show you new ways the web can fit into your business and boost the number of customers you get overnight. Each workshop picks up on the specific challenges your firm faces. Numbers are tightly limited, and Academy Managers will be in touch with you before the event to learn about the techniques you have tried and what could change the way your firm works.
