Overview
Digital technologies, globalisation, social media sites and instantaneous modes of communication have altered the landscape of traditional marketing. In some ways, strategic marketing has responded to these changes by shifting its focus to online media platforms. Such online marketing strategies are represented by the online proliferation of pop-up pages, paid listings, YouTube advertisements and auto-play videos. This online micro-credential will explore and assess some of these online marketing strategies. The micro-credential will evaluate their effectiveness and the level of antagonism they elicit in online media users. An exploration of new marketing strategies for online platforms that reflects the post-marketing world of the twenty-first century will be described. Marketing in an online, post-marketing world entails a new form of communication that veers away from traditional advertising techniques that are directed at passive consumers. Instead, savvy marketing strategies must focus on creating a conversation with their customers, engaging their customers as interlocutors of consumption, that acknowledges and promotes a back-and-forth mode of communication.
