The Digital Marketing and Social Media Marketing Process

The Digital Marketing and Social Media Marketing Process;

Greetings to the Blog-stars, Blog-staress, Digital-stars and Digital-staress

I have interacted, engaged and communicated with Brands in S.A, U.S and the U.K – these Brands are greater and defined a generation as an Organization, some of the individuals of these brands are great and some aspire to be great and I am sure that they would be great,

I am appreciative of the great and the insightful Brands in South Africa, the USA, and United Kingdom that I acquire information from so that I can improve, develop, assist, and understand the Marketing and Digital Marketing Environments

Online Brand Presence, Digital Marketing is about but this is situation and scenario dependant;

* Creating a Sentiment

* Driving the Passion

* Building a Brand of Superior Strength

* Developing and Enhancing the Reach

Social Networking Media as a Platform – the Brand as Organization covers some costs in terms of content but the individual also pays in terms of data and the content is worth their effort if the interaction, engagement, and communication are there if they find added value to their lives in acquiring, or sourcing the content via the Brand as an Organization.

As there price of internet is gradually decreasing due to improvements in technology (LTE) and there is talk about “White-Spaces” being leveraged to connect individuals into an online environment network/platform – so this is incredibly encouraging and awe-inspiring,

Greetings to you,

I would like to thank the Sunday Times and the Youth Marketeers, Monash University, and the Individuals for the research, the time and the effort that was undertaken in talking, interacting and engaging for the Generation Next project and then providing this insightful and mind-shaping content - Where the Young Generation (8 – 23 years) made their voices heard, the Brands that have shaped and influenced their lives where identified, and as well as those Brands that relate, and inspire, and start conversations, creating interaction and engagement. Some Brands are there, and some Brands have great potential to go there.

“Polling over 5 500 in six provinces.” So there was an incredible effort, time, research and the commitment to showcase the research which is great and awe-inspiring

“With an Annual spent of over R105 Billion;

Kids; R29.9bn
Teen; R36.2bn
Young Adults; 39.3bn”

This contributes a sizeable portion of the market, the Young Generation is the market that is the future for Brands, The Young-Generation are learning, watching, they see value, future clients and customers, There Young Generation is has spoken, the Brands that have won identify with the youth. Please kindly note that some categories only have the current top 3 – so you should acquire a copy of the Sunday Times to acquire an in-depth analysis. Well done to the Brands in specific Industries as well as, the Overall Winners.
