DIGITAL MARKETING
LECTURE WEEK 1
Focus on consumers and other stakeholders in communicating their brand and value
proposition and marketing their products/services
Technology – a part of who we are?
- Technology is an aspect of our human existence it brings forth and makes
apparent the very essence of our Being (Heidegger, 1977)
- Nowadays ‘being’ has the character of a technological ‘framework’, from which
humans approach the world in a controlling and dominating way
- Looking through the lens of technology, the world is revealed as raw material,
available for production and manipulation
- Humans are also seen as raw material and controlled by technology
we are an instrument for production
we are a human resource to be arranged and disposed of
Human hybrids – we are merged with technologies however, if knowledge/control is lost,
people often feel vulnerable, frustrated and angry, as if the machine has somehow invaded
them or taken something from them
Argumented bodies – technology will allow us to make modifications to our body, senses
and physiological process, and it will provide us with enhanced memory, communication and
productivity exosuits, brain implants to improve memory
As advances in areas such as robotics, sensor technology, computer vision and voice and
facial recognition continue to be made the lines between human and computer
capabilities are blurred
Technology will be invisible
- Is it a hologram? Virtual or physical?
- Is it a chatbot or a real person?
- WIFI routers will control the functions in our house without our interference
Digitalization – describes how IT or digital technologies can be used to alter existing business
processes e.g. the creation of new online or mobile communication channels that allow
all customers to easily connect with firms, and which change traditional firm-customer
interactions
Digital technologies – electronic tools, systems, devices and resources that generate, store
or process data e.g. social media, online games, multimedia and mobile phones
Data – the quantities, characters, or symbols on which operations are performed by a
computer, which may be stored and transmitted in the form of electrical signals
Adoption and diffusion of technology
, Diffusion of innovation/adoption of technology
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
Explains why some technology became popular and even the laggards and late adopters
want to buy the technology sooner or later
The more a technology is accepted, the grater and faster will be its adoption

converts payment received to profits”

assets are storage of data, ICT infrastructure, technologies to compete in digital era
(software, hardware) agility: ability to seize market opportunities ability to analyze
customer data
, Organizational structure – that is flexible and can react fast to digital change develop
new and often disruptive business models in autonomous business units that are separated
from the headquarters, allowing for experimentation and quick learning employees
should have good digital skills
Metrics and goals – to realize the full potential of digital transformation, digital firms need
to measure the performance improvements on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The Ansoff Matrix
Digital growth strategies for platform firms
Platform diversification
- Create additional growth in unexplored markets with new products
- Expanding the platform to serve new markets, update the product and service
assortment, and open the firm to cocreate value by partnering with sponsors and
users
Digital marketing (according to Institute of Direct and Digital Marketing, IDM) – the
management and execution of marketing using electronic media such as the web, email,
