“Correctly assessing and implementing the freshest marketing trends can make the difference between a company’s success or downfall,” Beirao da Veiga says.
Integrating cultural and technological trends into one’s digital marketing plans is the way of the future, say marketing experts who have witnessed multiple economic downtowns and upticks throughout their careers, as has Beirao da Veiga.
“Businesses should embrace new strategies and approach work from fresh angles while developing strategic marketing plans,” Beirao da Veiga says. “Companies have a wealth of innovative digital marketing tools that can take their marketing strategies into various successful directions.”
Beirao da Veiga sees how his marketing agency’s technological advantage extends to all departments from his vantage point. He has the outline for future success firmly in his grip and boldly steps forward.
“Modern marketing means taking new directions rather than sticking to your usual approach,” Beirao da Viegoa says. “Business owners and CEOS must engineer the underpinnings of digital marketing – visuals, video, personalization, and mass customization – at every touchpoint to survive in this competitive landscape. There is no other way forward.”
Other Experts Agree with Carlos Beirao da Veigas About Digital
Josh Dougherty, chief executive officer and co-founder of Seattle marketing agency A Brave New, echoes Carlos Beirao da Veiga’s wisdom about how to lead marketing operations for successful companies in 2022. Dougherty says companies must remain flexible – and get flexible if they aren’t already – because the overarching trend in 2022 is toward tactical effectiveness.
“It’s imperative to spend time understanding the core of your brand and what makes you unique so that you can effectively build your brand in whatever channels you pivot to throughout the year,” Dougherty says.
“In 2022, business success is about flexibility,” Beirao da Veiga says. “For example, consumers worldwide are shifting to shopping online for many items – not just the nice, specialty items consumers once had to seek. Consumers have grown accustomed to online shopping, and their expectations have shifted. Consumers are examining a broader range of products to purchase online and expect better customer service, too.”
“Business owners should pay close attention to video marketing as a digital tool,” Beirao da Veiga says. “It is the future of marketing activity – any marketing expert will admit as much.”
According to one crucial report, 26 percent of respondents plan to increase their in-house online video skillsets. In addition, Google reports that YouTube reaches more 18–49-year-old viewers than all cable networks can attract. Photo and video posts also generate more engagement than those using text as the sole communication vehicle.
“Incorporating video into your strategy cannot be an afterthought for any organization,” Beirao da Veiga says. “It provides a huge opportunity to connect to a wider audience. Video also builds trust, as it is more naturally candid. Video humanizes your brand and gives customers a better understanding and feel for your brand essence.”
The Importance of Digital Video Platforms
In 2022, consumer habits changed surrounding video consumption to the extent that it created a cultural zeitgeist. The natural honesty of video presentation, even when used as a selling vehicle, attracts customers.
