The big challenge that marketing teams face is how to stand out in the digital arena, especially as more companies are shifting their resources online. With travel, trade shows, and industry gatherings being cancelled, having a strong digital brand promoted by conventional digital marketing channels is the key to expanding a company's digital footprint even further than before. Establishing a strong digital footprint allows you to:
- Build trust with your current and prospective customers
- Expand your audience
- Differentiate from your competitors
- Establish yourself as an industry leader
- Implement a long-term marketing strategy
Digital branding is the impression you leave with customers that builds rapport and a long-term relationship. The easiest way to start building these relationships that in turn build your digital brand is a content pipeline consisting of both written and visual. Although all content is powerful, high-quality visual content can be more impactful. Visual content allows you to:
- Establishes a concrete brand identity that is recognizable
- Differentiates you from others in the space
- Personalizes the buyer’s journey and the brand experience
- Engages your audience within traditional digital marketing channels
Build out your content pipeline by leveraging in-house resources, agencies, freelancers, and/or content production platforms. Make sure your teams stay aligned, organized, and secure with a Digital Asset Management system (DAM) like Brandfolder. The digital marketing plan may include:
