The 5Ds of digital marketing
To understand the importance of digital marketing to
the future of marketing in any business, it’s helpful to think about what
audience interactions we need to understand and manage. Digital marketing today
is about many more types of audience interaction than website or email... It
involves managing and harnessing these ‘5Ds of Digital’ that I have defined in
the introduction to the latest update to my Digital Marketing: Strategy,Planning and Implementation book. The 5Ds define the opportunities for
consumers to interact with brands and for businesses to reach and learn from
their audiences in different ways:
1. Digital devices
– audiences experience brands as they interact with business websites and
mobile apps typically through a combination of connected devices including
smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, TVs and gaming devices.
2. Digital platforms
– most interactions on these devices are through a browser or apps from the
major platforms or services, that’s Facebook (and Instagram), Google (and
YouTube), Twitter and LinkedIn.
3. Digital media
– different paid, owned and earned communications channels for reaching and
engaging audiences including advertising, email and messaging, search engines
and social networks.
4. Digital data
– the insight businesses collect about their audience profiles and their
interactions with businesses, which now needs to be protected by law in most
countries.
5. Digital technology
– the marketing technology or martech stack that businesses use to create
interactive experiences from websites and mobile apps to in-store kiosks and
email campaigns.
