FuturAd 2009 keynote: Rethink your marketing | Zagreb

Does your marketing actually sell your products? Do you give your customers what they need? Rebuilding your web, email and mobile marketing around the customer’s real journey cuts costs and boosts results.

• Why could cutting half your website be key to raising your sales?
• How can print, television and outdoor advertising be reduced and refocused to help customers buy?
• Why do so many marketing campaigns fail to achieve sales targets?
• In a recession, how do you reduce your advertising without reducing effectiveness?
• And when budgets are cut, how do you avoid cutting the wrong thing?

In his annual keynote speech, digital strategist Danny Meadows-Klue explains an approach marketers can apply to campaigns large or small, across both business to business and consumer marketing. His customer journey analysis will help you see which digital marketing is right for your business and which gets dropped. Apply his approaches to your classic advertising and watch your costs fall and your sales increase. Packed with practical tips that can be used straight away, conference delegates will have access to a guide to key principles.

Digital Advertising Academy (Executive Academy) | London

Where have we come from and where are we heading? 2009 is shaping up as the year of falling budgets, smarter media planning, improved advertising targeting and more advances in social media. 2008 was the video and social media frenzy and included a massive wave or product development from the large online media groups. In 2007 there was rapid consolidation in the industry, back 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 in the UK, 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. This executive academy examines current trends and challenges.

Digital Blogging Academy (Acceleration Course) | 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.

Digital Blogging Academy (Advanced) | London
Writing your blog marketing plan

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. 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.

European EMetrics Summit | London

Internet 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.

Communication Director’s Forum | 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.

IFRA International Ad Conference | Paris

Danny Meadows-Klue takes the chairmanship of the first IFRA congress to explore in depth the challenges and models for online newspaper advertising revenues. Danny was the publisher of one of Europe’s first online newspapers (www.telegraph.co.uk) before co-founding the UK and European Interactive Advertising Bureau (www.iabuk.net) trade associations, then the Digital Strategy Consulting group and the Digital Training Academy.

Paris

Internet and mobile media are recording the highest growth rates in marketing spend. But the proliferation of new types of web advertising is complicating the task of the media and causing confusion among their sales teams. This conference gives you the knowledge and insights based on experience to position your products, organise your teams and make the most of the advertising potential of businesses that have already adopted a multiple-media strategy for content distribution. Danny Meadows-Klue, founder of the UK and European Interactive Advertising Bureau and CEO of the Digital Training Academy will talk about ad integration in the editorial content as well as he will chair the meeting.

Digital Publishing Strategy Academy | 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 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”?

IDM Agency Heads' Dinner | London

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) | 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 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.
