Dan Golden's 2015 Digital Marketing Food Pyramid Session

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

In this Internet Summit 2014 session, we dug into creative ways to approach digital media planning and dove into the critical questions to ask when customizing a balanced digital media strategy built for success in 2015 and beyond. What should I spend on mobile? How much should I invest in paid social? When do I stop throwing money at search and shift to display? Should I move some TV budget to YouTube? The audience learned the right questions to ask before formulating their plan. We helped them take an “etch-a-sketch” to the “let’s just continue doing everything we did last year” media planning methodology.
