What you can expect in marketing: digital peace of mind.

Written by Axel Wernicke-Lodenkämper | Dec 12, 2022 2:09:00 PM

„Digital is the New Normal“– a strategic approach to digitalisation is essential. Fluctuations in consumer behaviour, shifts in sales, and the hybridisation of the sales channels – whether in B2B, B2C, or B2B2C – are forcing companies to act.

Brands have to tackle digital transformation.

The topic is right at the top of their to-do lists, and marketing decision-makers are increasingly required to be strategic. The term ‘digital transformation’ doesn’t simply describe another trend or some short-lived hype. It is a unique paradigm shift for brand identity and marketing – and a unique opportunity.

This additional commitment takes time, manpower, and budget – generally all limited resources. At the same time, the emphasis in marketing communications is shifting to be able to properly shape the customer journey. All this is no help in cutting down the administrative overhead in marketing.

How can this workload-budget gap be overcome? What can help to clear personal desktops and marketing decision-makers’ heads and make way for strategic topics? Our article provides ideas and shows potential solutions to handle more tasks within a set budget – and thus to become much more efficient.

Digital Peace of Mind in marketing requires two things: concentration and diversification

What’s clear is that you’ll be devoting yourself more than ever to the digitalisation of your brand. Besides day-to-day business, a number of additional high-stakes tasks will be in store for you. It goes without saying that requirements relating to quality and quantity are on the rise, but marketing budgets rarely keep up. How can you respond quickly and correctly here?

Two things are sensible in our opinion:

  1. Concentrating on the important topics to act confidently and effectively. Set the course, but focus: on the digital transformation of your company’s image. On the development and rollout of the corresponding omni-channel strategy in the customer journey. And on the adaptation of and content creation for your digital channels. We have shown which factors are important here in our German-language insights study entitled ‘Marketing in der Post-Corona-Ära’ (‘Marketing in the Post-COVID Age’).
  2. Strategic alliances are essential – with marketing service partners who support you in your day-to-day business flexibly and across media. This enables you to establish a distribution of tasks and projects over the long term and obtain free resources you need for your current tasks and change in marketing.
