What is the biggest change in marketing that you see coming in the next 2 years?
The local shift – nationally, we’ve been in a digital-first mindset for quite some time, but local businesses, especially the ones in less metropolitan areas, haven’t fully adapted to a digital first mindset and presence, but two major shifts have occurred recently to change that:
1) Covid made almost every business (especially in healthcare, education, and food service) shift to digital means quicker than expected.
2) The migration from major metropolitan areas to smaller communities. Those folks have brought with them their more digital savvy buying mentality, and local businesses need to adapt.
What is the advantage to working with an outside media buyer as opposed to having just an internal marketing director?
Size, resources, and frankly accountability. There are so many things that come up with an internal employee (sick time, underperformance, learning curve) that you just do have to deal with when hiring an outside agency.
Also, an outside team is exactly that, a team of experts on your side and ready to go from day one.
How does a media buyer stay on top of trends with media placement?
LinkedIn is a great resource, HubSpot, other media outlets such as DailyAdBrief
