1.1 Introduction
This first chapter considers some of the aspects of technological development that will – or already do –
impact on the digital marketer. They are generic in nature in that they are not marketing subjects – but they
have either (a) an impact on marketing, or (b) can be used by marketers in the practice of their craft.
1.2 Digital transformation
Digital transformation: How the entire organization has adapted to – or ignored – the changes brought to
society by the digital revolution -> Digital transformation is about organizing around the current customer. It is
about putting the customer at the centre of the universe (E-commerce / VU using digital tools in Covid-times)
It encompasses the use of new digital technologies to enable major business improvements
Digital transformation is not about technology, it is about the strategic use of technology
Key components of the digital transformation include: (1) big data (2) reverse marketing (3) mobile
applications (4) the Internet of things (5) the automation of business processes.
(1) Big data
Definition: the collection of a wealth of data from and about everything internal/external to the organization
and its interpretation to help make the business run more efficiently and improve customer service.
It facilitates the ability to track customers and their communications across every channel, which can help
measure and manage the customer experience (sum of all experiences a customer has with a business)
What can big data do?
Help improve customer service levels (understand what makes customers satisfied)
Enhance customer retention (keep your customers)
Improve overall customer lifetime value (create relationship)
Be used to deliver personalized services
Some scepticism about big data:
Big data mostly show what has happened/is happening – but not always explain why things are happening
First learn to maximize value from smaller data before going big – sometimes big data can also be useless
Sceptics who question the value of the deluge of data produced by data scientists have coined the phrase
weapon of math destruction to describe the impact of useless big data on organizations.
(2) Reverse marketing (customers vs companies)
Definition: The power relationship between firms and customers has changed – power to the customer!
Associated to the concept of helping the buyer to buy, this is where organizations and brands are
increasingly distrusted by customers and so the customer has become the marketer (roles are reversed)
Although Internet technology is the driving force behind most aspects of the digital transformation, it is one of
the Internet’s platforms – social media – that has had the most significant impact on the customer’s
perception of the organization, brand or product -> Customers trust customers more
Conversations on platforms such as Facebook
Posting reviews on platforms such as TripAdvisor or retailer websites
Furthermore, there is the impact of how potential customers use search engines (google)
The customer types their want or need into the search box. How organizations react to a request
determines who gets the business (give them what they looking for)
Helping the buyer to buy: Shifting from helping the seller to sell to helping the buyer to buy. Consumers
now expect to be facilitated in their research on the product that best meets their wants and needs
