Back in February this year we had our twice yearly get together in Sydney will all the TrinityP3 consultants from around the world, including Michael Farmer, our new Executive Chairman and the author of the best selling book “Madison Avenue Manslaughter”. Every six months we get the gang together to review and discuss the business and plan the future. Last February this conversation led to the changes you see on the TrinityP3.com site today. It was started with a conversation with Michael around the trends and challenges facing CMOs and their organisations, which could be summed up in one word – GROWTH – or more specifically the lack of it.

There’s more to the Digital and Social Revolution than programmatic media, online videos, data analysis and overnight billionaires. There’s something else, and it’s called an avalanche of workload. Ad agencies are drowning in deliverables. Scopes of Work are out of control. Advertisers are experimenting, experimenting, experimenting with out-of-scope digital and social deliverables, and agencies are overwhelmed with the amount of work they have to get out the door on a daily basis.

Any content marketing strategy must be aligned with the SEO strategy so each of the following will have a substantial impact in both areas. Continue reading →

Is your digital media spend helping your business, your agency or both?

These days, it’s a fairly well established fact that, on the whole, your media agency generates a bigger margin from buying your digital media for you, than it does from buying other ‘offline channels’. There are a number of potential reasons for this. Higher up-front commissions as a proportion of expenditure. Mark-ups on low-unit, high volume incidental services such as ad-serving. Mark ups on other parts of the ‘technology stack’ used to trade digital inventory. Undisclosed mark-ups on the value of inventory. Continue reading →

APAC advertisers can no longer ignore the issues of media agency transparency

With reports last week of over-charging of digital media by the Dentsu Aegis Network, with one of their most significant and longest-standing clients, Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, advertisers across the region need to reflect on their own media agency arrangements rather than to continue to ignore the issue thinking it is an isolated issue or one for the USA alone. If this behaviour can occur in a market where trust and honour are such core concepts to business practice, between two such long standing business partners, then how can any right thinking person not believe it is happening elsewhere across the region?

Welcome everybody this afternoon to this one hour Webinar. As the title says we are going to focus on aligning digital marketing funnily enough to marketing, which is a hot topic that everyone is talking about in terms of digital marketing and what’s its role and when we talk to clients we actually say “it’s not about digital marketing, it’s about aligning digital to marketing”. I’m going to take you through a series of examples and talk a little bit about some of the findings that we’ve had with specific clients. So the digital big bang, we know the world’s gone digital, those of us that worked in marketing in the 90’s saw the rise of digital. We saw social media come on in 2005 and now it’s just exploding. I won’t go through this chart in detail but you know probably as well as I do that it’s very technology driven. Continue reading →

If you haven’t been following the world of Google and its constant tweaking of the famous algorithm that analyses and sorts billions of web pages you could be excused for not knowing about the biggest change to happen to search in years.

On April 21 (if you are reading this after April 21 I will be adding analysis and results regularly after the fact) Google will be rolling out a new update that will have a major impact on search results. It has already picked up the attractive little nickname “Mobilegeddon” but what is it really all about? Continue reading →
