Marketing in the digital age is very dynamic; it is necessary to monitor multiple digital channels and platforms to engage with your target audience without missing any opportunity. Digital channels and platforms are measurable and allow for monitoring performance of your marketing efforts in real time.

As a regional marketing director in the course scenario, you are tasked with designing a phased marketing strategy for reopening the park. You have already done an analysis of brand implications and discussed suitable traditional marketing methods to address the marketing needs for park reopening. As the organization has chosen a blended approach (traditional plus digital) for marketing, your CMO wants you to create a digital marketing strategy to go with the traditional marketing strategy you already determined.

Prompt
Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation to help other directors in the scenario understand the importance of digital marketing for brand awareness. Ground your responses in research and rich detail. Specifically, you need to address the following criteria:

How will you use digital marketing to enhance brand awareness? (Slide 1)
Identify two digital marketing methods that can be used for brand awareness and support with reasons (Slides 2–3).
How will the identified methods help you reach the target audience?
How will you determine the balance between the digital and traditional marketing?
Define short-term and long-term goals for brand awareness in the digital marketing strategy.
How will you measure the performance of your marketing efforts?
Use search engine optimization (SEO) to improve search performance (Slides 4–5).
Identify five keywords or phrases you will use to improve web search performance, and justify your strategy for keyword selection.
How will you redesign or rewrite the content of your website to support SEO strategy?
Define inbound marketing and describe its efforts (Slide 6).
How can they help in brand awareness?
Define the required content strategy for inbound marketing.

Slide 1: The Power of Digital

 

Title: The Power of Digital: Enhancing Brand Awareness for Our Park Reopening

Narrative: Good morning, everyone. As we prepare to reopen our park, we have a unique opportunity to not just market our reopening, but to redefine our brand's presence in the digital landscape. Brand awareness is our first priority; it’s about making sure our park is top-of-mind for our target audience. In the digital age, this means going where our customers are: online. Digital marketing gives us the power of precision, measurability, and real-time engagement that traditional methods alone cannot provide. It allows us to build a direct and ongoing relationship with our community, turning passive observers into active participants in our brand story.

 

 

Slide 2: Social Media Marketing: Building Our Community

 

Title: Social Media Marketing: Building Our Community

Narrative: The first digital method we will use is social media marketing. This involves using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to create and share content that builds our brand identity and fosters a community around our park.

Reasoning:

Reach and Engagement: Social media allows us to reach millions of potential visitors. Our content will not only be seen but can be shared and engaged with, exponentially increasing our brand's reach and creating a ripple effect of organic awareness.

Visual Storytelling: Our park is a visual experience. We can use stunning, high-resolution photos and videos to showcase the fun, excitement, and natural beauty of our park, which evokes an emotional connection with our audience.

Precision Targeting: Unlike a traditional billboard, social media platforms allow us to target our ads to specific demographics, interests, and behaviors. We can reach families interested in "kids' activities," or young adults who follow "adventure travel," ensuring our marketing spend is highly efficient.
