What Digital Marketing Strategists Can Learn from Cubism - Adaptability to Changing Trends
Cubism evolved over time, influencing various art forms and movements, showing a remarkable adaptability to change.

Lesson for Marketers: The digital landscape is anything but static. With trends continuously shifting, digital marketing strategists must be agile and quick to adapt. Monitoring upcoming trends and consumer behaviour allows for timely pivots in strategy, ensuring that campaigns remain relevant and effective. Just as Cubism adapted and expanded its influence, so must digital strategies evolve and embrace change.

What Digital Marketing Strategists Can Learn from Cubism - Multi-Channel and Multi-Faceted Approaches
Cubism’s unique feature is its ability to depict multiple viewpoints simultaneously, offering a more holistic view of its subjects. In a similar manner, a well-rounded digital marketing strategy employs multiple channels—social media, email, SEO, PPC—to engage with audiences.

Lesson for Marketers: Utilising diverse platforms enriches the customer experience by providing multiple touchpoints. Strategists should focus on creating cohesive, multi-channel campaigns that work in tandem to amplify the overall message. Each platform offers a unique vantage point for interaction and engagement, much like the multiple perspectives in a Cubist painting.

What Digital Marketing Strategists Can Learn from Cubism - Embracing Innovation and Experimentation

Cubism was revolutionary because it broke away from traditional representations, embracing abstract forms and new techniques. This willingness to innovate set Cubism apart as a groundbreaking art movement.

Lesson for Marketers: Innovation is a critical component of successful digital marketing. From adopting new technologies like AI and machine learning to exploring novel content formats such as interactive posts and AR experiences, marketers should always be on the lookout for fresh, innovative techniques to engage their audience. Just as Cubists experimented with form and perspective, digital marketers should be willing to experiment and explore new frontiers.

Understanding the Audience: The Key to a Standing Ovation

Perhaps the most crucial role of both the conductor and the marketing strategist is understanding their audience.

Just as a conductor selects pieces that will resonate with the audience in the concert hall, knowing when to stir their spirits and when to soothe their souls, a marketing strategist tailors the digital strategy to meet the needs and interests of the target market. This deep understanding of the audience ensures that the marketing efforts strike the right chord, leading to engagement, conversion, and loyalty.

Inspiring Performance: Ex*****on with Excellence

A conductor inspires their musicians to give their best performance, drawing out the full potential of the orchestra.

In digital marketing, the strategist ensures that every piece of content, every social media post, and every email campaign is executed with precision and creativity. This commitment to excellence helps to build a consistent and compelling brand image that captivates the audience.

“Content is fire, social media is gasoline”

Balancing the Dynamics: Merging the Marketing Mix

The dynamics in an orchestra—the variations between soft and loud—create an emotional journey for the listener. In marketing, the mix of different assets and channels serves a similar purpose.

The strategist needs to balance organic search efforts with paid advertising, engaging content with direct calls to action, and widespread reach with targeted communications. This balance ensures that the marketing message is heard clearly, without overwhelming the audience.

“Marketing is not about the stuff you make, but about the stories you tell”

Setting the Tempo: Pacing the Campaign

Timing is everything, both in music and marketing. Just as a conductor sets the tempo, ensuring that the music flows at the right pace to evoke the desired emotions, a marketing strategist meticulously plans the timing of campaigns.

Launching a new product, for example, requires a crescendo of promotional activities leading up to the release, followed by sustained engagement to keep the audience interested.

“Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.”

The Conductor's Craft: Strategy and Insight

At the heart of any great performance, whether in a concert hall or the digital marketplace, lies a masterful understanding of strategy and insight. The conductor of an orchestra possesses an in-depth knowledge of each piece, envisioning the end performance from the first note to the last.

Similarly, a marketing strategist begins with a comprehensive plan that outlines the objectives, target audience, and key messages, translating this vision into a campaign that resonates and engages.

Objective Perspective and Innovative Ideas
Often, businesses seek a marketing strategist to gain an outsider's perspective, bringing in fresh ideas and innovative solutions to challenging problems.

The Critics and Patrons are Speaking - Feedback, be it from the critics or the patrons, contains valuable insights. At a crossroad, unable to decipher the critiques or to enact upon the praises, a strategist can interpret these signals, guiding businesses towards refinement and excellence.
“Marketing strategy is a series of integrated action leading to a sustainable competitive advantage”

Limited Internal Resources or Expertise
Companies, especially small to medium-sized ones, may not have the bandwidth or expertise in-house to develop and execute a comprehensive marketing strategy.

Resource and Expertise Constraints in Compact Frameworks - Small to medium enterprises may find themselves constrained by limited internal capabilities or expertise, hindering their ability to craft and implement a holistic marketing strategy within the Bauhaus ethos of functionality and simplicity.

Poor Online Presence or Digital Marketing Performance
In an increasingly digital world, struggling with online visibility or digital marketing effectiveness is a common reason for turning to a marketing strategist.

Difficulty in Differentiating from Competitors
If a business feels lost in a saturated market and is struggling to differentiate itself effectively from competitors, a marketing strategist can help clarify unique value propositions.

The Foreground is Overshadowing the Background - At times, the focus narrows too much on the immediate, obscuring the vast potential lying in our peripheral vision.

Lack of Clear Marketing Strategy
A business might realize it lacks a cohesive, strategic marketing plan. This means there's no clear roadmap or set of objectives guiding their marketing efforts, making it challenging to achieve specific goals.

The Texture of the Medium is Monotonous: In the quest for innovation, a monotonous medium signal the need for rejuvenation.

Low Return on Marketing Investments
If the current marketing efforts are not yielding a satisfactory return on investment (ROI), it may indicate that the strategies employed are not effective or well-targeted.

The Composition is Not Resonating: The Bauhaus taught us the importance of structures and systems in creating resonance with the observer

Stagnant or Declining Sales
A clear sign that marketing strategies may not be working effectively is when a business notices that sales are plateauing or decreasing, despite having a viable product or service.

Just like a Bauhaus artist understand the lack of direction on the palette as artists can be seen as a vivid spectator of ideas, yet without a cohesive direction, the vision becomes muddled.

“Good marketing makes the company look smart. Great marketing makes the customer feel smart."

Budgeting is such an important aspect to a successful marketing strategy as it highlights essential parts, adds depth, and provides clarity. A seasoned digital marketing strategist understands the importance of balancing innovation with cost-efficiency, emphasising high-impact methods that offer a superior return on investment without over exerting the financial framework.

Leverage an Integrated Marketing Framework: Employ a cross-channel approach where each tool and platform complement the others. For instance, content marketing efforts should feed into the social media strategy.

“Content marketing is not a numbers game. It’s a game of relevance,”

How to ensure the different elements of a digital marketing strategy works well together

Craft a Unified Message: Ensure the message is consistent across all channels. This doesn't mean repeating the same content but rather adapting the core message to fit each platform while maintaining a consistent voice and brand identity.

Set Clear Goals: Define the objective of the digital marketing strategy. Whether it's increasing brand awareness, generating leads, boosting sales, or improving customer engagement, these goals should guide the integration of all activities.

How to ensure the different elements of a digital marketing strategy works well together

Allocate resources wisely
Highlight some areas while allowing others to blend subtly into the background. This often means making tough choices, much like how an artist might sacrifice certain details in service of the greater composition.

Engagement Impact
The goal of an action painting is to engage viewers and evoke emotional responses. Similarly, a marketing action plan is designed to engage potential customers and provoke a response, whether that's brand awareness, interest, desire, or action.

“You can’t buy engagement. You have to build engagement”

Tara Nicholle Nelson-Marketing Entrepreneur

https://brandlytix.co.za/contact/

07/03/2024

Emphasizing Action
Both domains involve "action" at their core — literally with the painter’s physical movements and metaphorically with the marketer's initiatives.

Both require active engagement with their respective processes and an awareness of the unfolding results.

“A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.”
Jeff Bezos-Media proprietor and investor

https://brandlytix.co.za/contact/

29/02/2024

Adaptation and Agility
In both action painting and executing a marketing plan, there is a need for adaptation.

An artist reacts to the forms and colours as they develop on the canvas, while marketers must be agile and ready to tweak their plans based on market feedback and changing circumstances.

“Marketing is not a task; it is an ongoing process that require constant attention and adaptation”

Jay Bear- marketing Consultant

“Adaptability is being able to adjust to any situation at any given time”

John Wooden-Basketball player

Strategic Ex*****on
While action painting may appear spontaneous, many abstract expressionists had an idea or emotion they wished to convey, bringing a level of strategic thinking to their creation.

Similarly, each step in a marketing action plan, although planned and methodical, needs to be executed with energy and precision to be successful.
