#6 NOT A DASH OF DIGITALmany people tell me theyre disappointed by their digital. From what I see, there are SIX main causes of disappointment.Often the disappointment starts from trying to add a dash of digital to existing marketing: trying to repurpose traditional marketing into digital. It wont work well, and only disappoints.

#5 A CONSISTENT USEFUL PRESENCE
#6 NOT A DASH OF DIGITALthen I see people who are busy building websites, blogs, social media presences, video streams etc etc, but without really focusing on an integrated, coherent, total presence. In digital consumers dont remember if it was a website or a blog, YouTube or Facebook: they simply recall an overall presence (or not!)

at the turn of the century, we focused on stickiness: getting consumers to our website and keeping them (trapping them) there.

YouTube was one of the first to realize that we should be providing something really useful, and letting people take it away with them. By doing so our brand got into more locations and consumers did some of our marketing for us (and were of course must more trusted and so more effective than were we!)

sadly many call this content marketing.Lets be clear: content is what goes into landfill. Content is whats in no-name hamburgers. Dog food!If you call it content, then thatll be what you create. Think USEFUL, ENTERTAINING, INFORMATION

#5 A CONSISTENT USEFUL PRESENCE
#4 PARTICIPANTS NOT AUDIENCE
#6 NOT A DASH OF DIGITALin digital there is no audience: only participants who can (and will) answer back. Use their participation to involve them in your brand. To teach them what it stands for. And to learn more about them and draw in other consumers.

Take a look at the GEICO unskippable commercials to see what I mean. This is marketing that people choose to watch, share, and talk about

#3 X-TREME SEGMENTATION
#6 NOT A DASH OF DIGITALdigital lets us move far beyond traditional segmentation. We can create segments based on actions, in real-time. Segments that are smaller, tighter, and so better served

take a look at the Volvo Trucks with van Damme: Epic Splits.Now we cant all afford such a big story and big star so think of what your story might be. You probably dont need to appeal to 100m people so think of your brands story
