Digital gaining strength in marketing a brand

November 19, 2012

Traditional marketing always said that Television advertising was used for branding and Digital Marketing was only used for direct response campaigns. Is TV advertising is starting to lose it stranglehold on marketers branding dollars as digital advertising is becoming more sophisticated with the integration of social and mobile into the search habits of consumers?

From this year’s Asia’s Top Digital Brands study , some of the findings were quite revealing about which industries and Branding countries are making the most of digital media. For one thing, global brands aren’t the only ones who have recognised the importance of digital media today. While at the regional level, global brands top the list of most recognised brands using digital, local brands are increasingly using digital to communicate with consumers.

At a recent Google conference day held in Sydney, the talk was all about how digital display advertising – previously the ugly little sister to search advertising – is now all grown up and ready to deliver brand messages for marketers. Search advertising is a mature market, so perhaps our next opportunity needs to come from the digital display network to not only drive traffic and conversions, but for your brand to engage and interact with customers the same way TV advertising does.

At the core of Digital Display advertising is creativity – branding needs to build emotion and create an attachment from the consumer to the brand

“For brand building to succeed in digital, advertisers need great creative that can win over hearts and minds. This path plays with reputation, passions, affinity, affection, sentiments and other emotions. While brand building may not be as measurable as driving clicks and conversions, it has measurable aspects to it. There are business goals behind every brand, goals to ultimately motivate individuals to take action in one or more ways that benefit the brand. These goals are modeled as a customer ourney from awareness to action through the purchase funnel.” Building Brand Engagement with Display Formats, Google Double Click and Dynamic Logic

What is paid, earned, shared and owned media?

By Erica Williams • February 8, 2023

Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago. This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
