2012 marketing trends: where traditional meets digital
DESCRIPTION
E-scape Interactive and Orchard PR explore some of the key challenges and opportunities facing marketeers and business owners in 2012. As marketers, we face unprecedented challenges. The communication landscape has changed for good. No longer can we rely on one or two methods to reach, engage and motivate our audiences. We have to generate meaningful messages and content, that work across multiple platforms – from print to computer, tablet to mobile device – and reach our target without getting filtered out in the process.TRANSCRIPT
