Impact on marketing post-Corona, 7 non-obvious. From content babies overload to nostalgia to the explosion of innovation.
Very good read on the impact on society by Yuval Noah Harari.
‘The traditional way to create content, for instance, is to roll out periodic, one-size-fits-all campaigns that can be modified only to a limited extent. On the other hand, a modern marketing organization has systems that allow for large volumes of messages and content to be constantly created, monitored by performance analytics, and then adjusted as needed.’ For guidance and information on online marketing contact a link building services company.

“Last June, The Times used eight freelancers and tagging tech over three months to segment 1,000 articles from the previous 17 months. Each article was tagged with 16 different pieces of metadata, included criteria like the content tone, the headline type, the article format and geography. These tags were plotted against 10 metrics that show engagement, such as pageviews, time on page, whether someone has commented, saving, sharing, whether the reader is registered or a subscriber. That information has then been used to dictate content strategy.”
“For example, over the last few months, The Times has published 15% fewer stories on the online Home News section after learning that news with no additional or exclusive content underperforms.”
“The social team has since gotten more strategic with promoting stories on Facebook based on the tone or headlines that would do well at driving referral traffic. Evans wrongly assumed that headlines typically drawing people in would drive more referral traffic.”
“It is built on a very simple but important consumer insight, which is when it comes to haircare consumers are very much looking for insight, inspiration, and tips from people like them.”
“This means the marketing tool needs to function much like an independent publisher working with a network of influencers to retain authenticity and build strong consumer relationships.”
“Gandhi explains: “We understand what consumers really care about and make sure we provide the right insights back to the brand. But on the reverse, we also make sure we recommend the right brands to the right consumers.”
Community is evolving

Sports fans are eager for 2020

People share what matters most to them
Planners can build more relevant campaigns by checking back each month to see what people in their key markets are talking about. E.g. May 2019 https://www.facebook.com/business/news/insights/2019-05-topics-to-watch-united-states?ref=fbiq_2019_summer#
