An Integrated Digital Strategy clarifies how you differentiate your online presence and drive revenue with your website, mobile, social media, search, email marketing, apps and online advertising. Using analytics to capture customer insights will inform your digital strategies and tactics and keep you aligned around key performance indicators (KPIs).
As more customers ‘self-sell’ on the web, a digital strategy is increasingly important. It is about integrating digital into all facets of marketing and describing the role of different web channels, inbound marketing, content marketing, search and the role of and social media. Integration can range from adding a URL at the bottom of a print ad to having a common creative message on your home page and in banner ads to the sophisticated delivery of sequenced messaging on multiple digital media vehicles.

Disruptive Technology Driving Digital
Four specific technology developments are driving a tectonic shift in the digital ecosystem:
- Mobile. Widespread penetration and evolution of feature-rich, smart mobile devices
- Social. Ubiquitous social networking and user-generated content
- Cloud. On-demand, real-time access to supercomputer power and unlimited storage
- Internet of Things. Convergence between the real and the virtual worlds.
These technologies are changing the relationships between consumers and companies. Consumers have more power to gather and process information, connect, and voice opinions. And companies can leverage vast new sources of consumer information that lets them engage customers in a microtargeted way across multiple digital touch points.
