“Take a risk and keep testing, because what works today won’t work tomorrow, but what worked yesterday may work again.”
– Amrita Sahasrabudhe
If we peel away the surface level and look beneath, the reality is that many marketing campaigns are being built on a structured pyramid. Because once that new platform becomes saturated with competitors, or once budgets stop continually flowing into paid strategies, new business can dry up quickly. Then you will find same place you were before you jumped in.
To avoid this scenario, your digital campaign must be built upon a strong foundation. Which leads me into a Digital Foundation Pyramid, which shows how the base of your digital campaign is built on marketing fundamentals, not individual tactics.
Brand
The core of your digital campaign is first based on your brand as a whole. Your brand is the essence of your company: your identity, your personality, your voice, your culture, your presentation. It is how your organization speaks, moves, sounds, acts. Everything you say or do is a reflection of your brand, even if you are not intentionally doing so.
Message
All of the digital channels and platforms we talk about on a daily basis: social media, email marketing, lead generation, SEO, Facebook, Instagram, Adwords, etc…those are all distribution channels. They are ways in which we distribute our company’s vision, message, and purpose. They are the world’s most powerful megaphones.
Content
If you know who you are and what you want to say, now you need to say it. “Content” is any medium you use to get your message across and engage with your audience.
Distribution
Distribution is how you get your content, your message, and your brand out to the world.
Analytics
The final stage of your Digital Foundation is to assess the impact of your campaign. Are you seeing more traffic to your site? Are they converting into new leads? And most importantly, is your campaign moving you forward towards your overarching business goals and objectives?
