The growth of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, combined with the increasing importance of blogs, has changed the search marketing landscape.

Whilst traditional PPC and SEO activities remain important, successful internet marketers now integrate PPC and SEO programmes in to a broader Content Marketing strategy.
 

Content Marketing is the result of an upheaval in the way brands reach consumers.

Buyers looking for sellers through search engines required a big adjustment from marketers. We have now taken another significant step. Word-of-mouth, social networks and product reviews are now more trusted and influential than brand marketers own messages.  It’s a whole new philosophy for the internet.

Individuals are the New Broadcasters

Sustainable success on the internet is now dependent on building advocacy for your brand, product and services. Individual consumers are the new broadcasters. They now communicate not just one-to-one but one-to-many.

A positive experience travels far in the networked world.   Equally, how you handle complaints is now a key element in your marketing mix. Get it wrong and a customer can broadcast this to hundreds or even thousands of friends/contacts through Facebook, Twitter or blogs.
