- In today's hyper-connected world, having a sound digital marketing strategy can help your brand grow by leaps and bounds.
- Agam Chaudhary, CMO, Digitalabs (A division of Laqshya Media Group) helps us understand a few things that marketers should take care of while working on digital campaigns.
In the era of Yays Or Nays, digital marketing is the magic wand you need to make your business, flourish. There are no two ways about it. But if you don’t have a robust and thoughtful digital marketing strategy in place, it won’t yield any effective results.
Now, to build an effective digital marketing strategy for your business, you need to understand 'what to do' and 'what not to do', even more. The best practices are constantly evolving in this field. You as a digital marketer should not only relish the latest trends but also carefully implement them to your business tactics, as and when needed. So, along with learning the opportunities, you need to learn about the pitfalls as well.
The first and foremost step in grasping the trends and thus developing a cool strategy is to understand the fact, that not all content needs to be shared on all the social channels. Every social platform has its own set of audience. And they have their own set of expectations and demands.

Twitter is a platform for influencers/ people with strong opinions on trending topics whereas Facebook is more of a casual platform for mass. Instagram is a chick platform whereas LinkedIn is strictly professional.

(Source: Statista and Sprout Social)Once you decide on what to post and how to market on each social media platform, you need to focus on the craft of your content.
To craft a bang-on campaign, you need to look for consumer insights and build the communication narrative accordingly. The communication (language + treatment + messaging) should directly hit their emotions. It should give consumers a solution to their problems. It should satiate their need.
Remember, the #ComeTogether campaign by Durex? The campaign aimed at creating awareness about orgasm inequality by initiating a healthy and open conversation on culture and science behind the fact that 'sex is great when you #ComeTogether'.The insight behind the campaign:- As per the Global Sex Survey conducted by Durex in 2017, nearly 70% of women in India don’t orgasm every time they have sex.Durex leveraged organic engagement on tactical platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to conduct hashtag led conversations; involved female content creators, influencers, and advocates to convey the desired message effectively; and parallelly redirecting consumers from social channels to e-commerce platforms like Amazon to drive the sales of the inventory.The campaign was a big hit and garnered millions of views, huge engagement, high reach, killer impressions, and conversions.
The overall campaign had 5 different hashtags and different phases.#OrgasmInequality
