The Digital Marketing & Media Opportunity

Driven by increasingly-omnipresent Internet connectivity and the proliferation of powerful web-connected mobile devices, consumers and businesses are operating in the digital realm more than they ever have. People are fundamentally shifting the ways they communicate, search & discover, consume entertainment, and shop for products & services. This change in habits has is pushing key constituencies in the marketing and media industries to go through their own digital transformations:

• Technology and services firms serving marketers, advertisers, and publishers have a substantial opportunity to help these organizations find success through their digital transformations, but they also need to be on the forefront of rapid market changes to ensure their clients succeed.
• Marketers and advertisers now have to deal with a crowded landscape of digital channels—email, mobile, social, video, search, display, and more. They need to constantly monitor, measure, and optimize their programs to ensure they are meeting objectives and proving their value. Having the right organizational structures, skillsets, technologies, and business processes is critical to success.
• While native online publishers are able to thrive in the digital economy, traditional publishers are dealing with legacy channels and processes while trying to find success through mobile apps, metered paywalls, eCommerce ventures, and other distribution & monetization tactics. They need to bridge the “digital divide” to thrive well into the future.

To help technology & services firms, marketers & advertisers, and publishers understand how to effectively harness the power of interconnected media to meet their business objectives in this dynamic and rapidly-evolving marketplace, InfoTrends offers its Digital Marketing & Media Trends (DMM) Consulting Service.
