REUPLOAD - Originally uploaded 27th February 2013, Slideshare wasn't previewing this because of some glitch, so I've re-uploaded. Hopefully this works.
I was recently asked to give a crash course in developing effective digital strategies. Because I have a contrary streak and think that digital isn't a separate entity, I presented what I think are the key principles in developing marketing strategies instead. It's an intro to strategy in a lot of ways, but hopefully it will be useful/interesting to a few people.
3. Who the hell am I? I’m a
strategic planner at a brilliant
ad agency in town. I’m also a
lecturer in marketing. Mostly, I
am just someone that loves
marketing when it’s done right
and is lucky enough to get to
share her opinions on
what that means, as
well as her thoughts
on how to make it
happen more often.
To prove it, here’s me looking all professional and “thinky” somewhere
5. “The management process responsible
for identifying, anticipating and
satisfying customer requirements
profitably.”
- Chartered Institute of Marketing
6. “Marketing is the social process by
which individuals and organizations
obtain what they need and want
through creating and exchanging
value with others.”
- Kotler & Armstrong
7. “The process by which companies
create value for customers and build
strong customer relationships in
order to capture value from
customers in return.”
- Kotler & Armstrong
8. Marketing is creating things
of value in order for people to
trade what they value in return.
- Me
14. Digital marketing doesn’t exist
Only joking. Sort of.
We should focus our thinking around
marketing in a world that is digital,
not on digital as a separate entity.
The end.
15. Two issues can arise when thinking
of digital marketing as a separate
entity

This one is made of
composite parts
This one boils water so I
can make tea
27. It’s not enough to just communicate
a product’s benefits and features
as if they’re motivating.
There’s parity almost everywhere,
and if it’s not there now it will
be soon enough.

it comes to channel planning
To do it well we have to
understand not just which
channels our audience use, but
also how they use them
