Why we need to dump the word digital from marketing - MAF273
This week, let's talk about dropping the word digital.
Stop talking about digital marketing and start talking about marketing again. It may seem like a subtle difference but it’s essential for the future of the profession.
It's just me and the mic and this is episode 273 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.
We chat about:
- How “digital” has revolutionised how companies and brands deliver communications messages to customers
- Why it's available to businesses of all budgets
- How "digital" has affected the other elements of the marketing mix
- Has the focus on communications tactics devalued the marketing profession
- How we started talking less about research, products and price and more about SEO, clicks and likes
- Should we just talk about marketing again, without the word "digital" in front of it?
