YOUR DEDICATED CONSULTANT
My journey towards Digital Marketing started back in the 1990s. I worked in a small design studio producing advertising for local & national newspapers and magazines with the occasional international project thrown in for good measure. Back then it was D.T.P or Desk Top Publishing software, QuarkXpress and Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Today we use Content Creation Software and produce advertising content for multiple digital media services.
Advertising has changed considerably. I used to work to fixed deadlines and missing the deadline meant the advert didn’t run, today adverts can be created and deployed in less than 5 minutes. Not only that but they can also be changed or targeted more precisely than ever before.
Speed has become the critical bonus tool for many campaigns today.
Recently Elon Musk showed his latest development the Tesla Truck, a live event in America to a select audience, but transmitted around the world in less than a few minutes. Live unedited marketing, by the end of the first day they had 250,000 pre-orders even with the faux pas in the demonstration.
The range of options for a Digital Media campaign is extensive, Websites, Pay Per Click Adverts, Social Media Networks, YouTube Videos and Live Streaming, just to name a few.
The future, how about Interactive Digital product placement in TV & Films, Virtual Reality or Smart Homes. The digital journey has only just started…
