The Challenge Today is No Longer Getting a Message Out!

Did you know that 2 million blog posts are published per day? This eye-popping statistic is only the beginning of the noise that is drowning our marketing messages. Not only is blog content being published faster than the blink of an eye, consider the 30+ business pages sharing content on Facebook alone. With such a high volume of digital content being produced around the clock, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for marketers to reach their audiences while creating trustworthy and meaningful relationships.

The real challenge for organizations is getting their message in —so hyper-distracted audiences will engage with them. We’ll show you three shifts that will dramatically change the way you communicate in a new digital age.

 

The Digital Landscape Changes Fast!

Every time we turn around there is a new platform or channel to test our marketing skills. It’s a full-time job in itself to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of online marketing. Thankfully, blogs such as DOYO Live and Mindset Digital help you stay on trend with these new channels and keep you up to speed every step of the way. However, learning how to properly use these platforms requires an entirely different attention level and skill set.

This session at DOYO Live gets you up to speed—going beyond the latest technologies and illustrating how business leaders are taking full advantage of Twitter, Instagram, gamification, content marketing, mobile trends and so much more. We’ll walk you through the three biggest shifts affecting how you connect with clients and show you the new tools and new thinking you need in a digital age. This will help you increase your marketing productivity so you can connect with your audience more efficiently than ever before.

 

There Are More Channels Than Ever

Blogs, Twitter, Instagram—the list goes on. The real challenge for your organization is getting your message in—getting your hyper-distracted audience to take the time to engage with you. The downside is that investing your time on every single platform is often overkill—and not to mention a big waste of budget.

Focusing your budget and energy on a handful of platforms is one of the surefire ways to ensuring communication success online. But how do you know which channels are best for you?

 

Maximizing Your Marketing Voice: What Works for You?

We’ll examine how to: break through the noise and build strong connections with clients and colleagues leverage the latest visual storytelling techniques write and present in powerful new ways that wow a crowd, build your personal brand, discover not just what’s now but what’s next.
