Marketing - we're not as digital as we think
posted on 9th August 2013
An article by Simon Lendrum of ad agency JWT warns marketers about focussing too much on the small goup of hard-core digital users and differentiates between what you can achieve online and offline. The comment below is worth reading, too - the one that ends, 'Of course, tracing the link between an ad in a magazine and a visit to a website is tenuous (read hard) and so often is ignored.'
A quick glance at the Hard Core Digital segment would get the digerati very excited. Here’s a group that watches no traditional television, consumes all its news, and the majority of its music, online, and even does the majority of shopping online. And there’s no doubt it is a growing group. It’s just growing from a very small base.
And here’s the rub: much of the digital marketing activity that we produce as an industry appears to be aimed towards this group, or assume that this group is more significant than it really is.
