Digital Doomsday: The end of Mobile, Email and Social Media Marketing as you know it In this informative and instructive webinar, leading agency Young & Rubicam joins us to highlight ways leading brands are achieving better results by marketing across channels. It is becoming less effective to market within silos, as consumers cross channels to research, browse and buy all manner of products and services. Response, results and ROI all suffer, to say nothing of the redundancies and inefficiencies of using separate systems for multiple channels. The problem is well documented; however, the path forward is less clear. Digital marketers of all stripes will learn practical ways of tapping into the opportunities presented by emerging cross channel marketing solutions.

14. “On any given day, 3,000 marketing messages reach the average consumer. Information overload has become all too common.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/eeloy/287906402/

15. “In an environment marked by intense competition… “…rapidly changing media…” “…and fragmented brand loyalty, marketers are faced with the fact that the ‘old way’ of marketing is simply not bringing the desired results.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/robrichandtim/3360227802/

16. “Old marketing tricks, it seems, just don’t work anymore. It’s time for a new playbook.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/markerickson/5032263680/

17. “A consensus has been reached as to where to find more profitable customers: they are those troublesome consumers that cross channels.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/eeloy/287906402/

18. “The goals of cross-channel campaigns are ones shared by virtually all marketers…the top priorities of cross-channel marketing efforts were to increase conversion and acquire new customers.”

19. Top 3 fastest growing marketing investments

20. “Time spent on e-mail on mobile devices went up from 37 percent to 42 percent [2010 vs 2009] – clearly dominating other mobile online activities”

21. “ [Social is] the fastest-growing mobile internet activity between 2009 and 2010, rising 80% in usage, while email grew more slowly.” “Bridge Ratings predicted in June that mobile social networking would grow twice as quickly as email during the next 12 months.”

22. And if that wasn’t enough, just last week… “Mobile devices will claim more and more media time per day, while TV, print and radio will slowly lose ground to digital media. For marketers, half the battle of staying relevant is showing up in the right place and on the right platform.” Bottom Line: To avoid the Doomsday scenario, marketers need better tools matched to the cross channel behaviors of today’s consumer
