The right digital marketing path leads to the right results
How to tune your company's digital marketing to support real and sustainable growth?
A series of right choices.
Simple, but not. Few people own a crystal ball, but there is a roadmap to growth - and it can be described as a consistent process.
In this article, we will dig into the core of this process and the important elements that together form a pathway to controlled digital marketing holistics and growth.
Good foundations for growth are built on good groundwork
History offers us numerous examples of disasters, often based on an unfortunate series of wrong choices.
The reasons vary, but there are often common denominators: the root causes of problems are not detected in time or warning signals are not interpreted correctly - sometimes alarm signals are ignored because of the rush.
All of these are possible reasons for a company's marketing to falter.
Our experience in online business and digital marketing has shown that the problem often lies in fragmentation, for example in focusing too much on single actions or failing to reach the target audience.
When sales are down, a single tactical campaign can provide a quick solution, but without deeper analysis, the measure is likely to produce only tangible results.
At worst, this reinforces the perception that this type of advertising does not work for your business.
The right marketing model - Success is a process
Digital marketing should be based on business objectives. What target groups we want to activate, what market areas or shares we want to increase, what products or services we should be able to sell more of, etc.
The Right™ marketing model created by Digiteam is built around five steps to ensure that digital marketing has the best chance of success and delivering visible, long-term results.
Digital marketing emphasises both the whole and the details. By focusing on key areas together and separately, a systematic path to growth is created.
1) Proper targeting
Proper targeting starts with a precise definition of the target groups. Once the target audience and buyer personas are known, a mix of effective content can be tailored to them in the appropriate channels.
An expert digital partner will also optimise targeting within different media, effectively targeting measures according to the channels' individual targeting criteria.
2) The right content
Everyone can certainly agree that results are achieved through content that is articulated around customer understanding and objectives.
To be successful, content production can be based on a solid strategy, measuring the visibility and engagement it achieves, and developing content based on the results.
3) The right media choices
Today's media landscape is very fragmented, making it necessary to make choices between channels.
The right channel choices are facilitated by an in-depth understanding of channel characteristics, user profiles and opportunities. This allows for the most efficient use of resources and reaches the desired target groups.
4) The right dates
Digital marketing should be ongoing to support sales all year round and keep the target audience in mind. However, a targeted marketer will also pay attention to the key seasons, when sales have the best potential.
A competent digital partner will help their clients to identify these best times and to time their activities correctly in their marketing calendar.
5) The right measures
Developing digital marketing results requires support in interpreting the results and responding correctly to the results and objectives.
With the right interpretations and the right development measures, it is possible to find a winning combination of right targeting, right content, right media and right timing.
Avoid the pitfalls of digital marketing - create a holistic view with data
So the recipe for success lies in good planning, overall management and knowledge management.
Analyse, design, implement, measure - and repeat from the beginning.

Good digital marketing since 2003, but the humour gets worse every year. All in one package! Antti takes a broad view of marketing through the eyes of the client, the agency and the web analyst, but he is also keen to tackle individual issues. Antti's texts occasionally seek a little wake-up call, as the digital marketing industry has a lot of room for improvement.
