I spend about 50% of my time at work preparing and giving training sessions in Belgian branches of big corporations. The topics of the trainings I’m giving for the moment are “deep dive in cyberculture” and “Best practices in digital marketing”. I really enjoy doing those presentations especially for the Q&A following my lectures.
Here is what I see as the FAQs of the advertisers today. I believe this apply beyond Belgium.
- Is online advertising making sense without a decent website?
- Are there examples of 2.0 initiatives made by traditional brands that went totally out of hand?
- How can impressions be compared to television GRPs?
- How intrusive should I be? (expandable formats, videos with sound on by default)
- Does the long tail change anything to the way I should communicate with my target group?
- Why on earth do people use sites like second life?
Of course, I also get a lot of questions about ROI and measurements. I have (my) answers to those questions based on some hard facts, experience and a little common sense. I’ll post about that in the coming days but if you feel that you have a relevant contribution to make, please shoot.
