Key Dates for for your 2023 Marketing Calendar in the UK

On our recent expedition into the wilderness of Google, we found ourselves trekking through endless lists of social media holidays for every single day of the year. Whilst it’s good to know National Wine Day is on the 25th of May, this might not be relevant for a company selling children’s books. Similarly, National Grammar Day (4th of March) may be off-topic for your local bakery - they should probably wait until the following Monday, when British Pie Week begins (yum). 

Figuring out which dates are relevant for the UK vs the US can also pose a challenge - luckily, we’ve compiled a list of 2023’s biggest dates for your marketing calendar in the UK. From awards shows and sporting events to religious observances and bank holidays, this is your one-stop-shop for all you need to plan for this year.

Top Digital Marketing Trends to Look out for in 2023

The new year is finally upon us, and with resolutions and year-long goals come countless new trends and innovations. Join us while we explore some of the top digital marketing trends we’re excited for in 2023!

AR Experiences

Augmented Reality (AR) combines the real world with computer-generated content to create an interactive experience for users. This is no longer a futuristic dream - one third of Gen Z is expected to be shopping with AR by 2025.

When used in marketing, AR can allow customers to interact with products before they buy - for example, seeing how a new coffee table would look in their living room like IKEA Place or trying on different beauty products like Sephora’s Virtual Artist. 

Other brands have been digitalising their physical offering by creating virtual, interactive tours which allow users to explore a space, like StubHub’s app which allows users looking for Super Bowl tickets to view a 3D model of the stadium and the local area. Users can then use the AR to understand where their seats are, where they should park, and even the locations of pre-game events.

The Power of Good TV Ads

If you think of a great advert you have seen in the past, you may think of the gorilla from Cadburys, the annual John Lewis Christmas adverts or the cheeky skittles adverts.

What do all of these have in common? They are not focused on their core product; they are selling an emotion. Whether it's laughter, heartfelt emotion or second-hand embarrassment.   

The advertisers are creating a memorable advert that you would want to share with your friends. Everyone has had a Cadbury's chocolate bar before, but only some have seen a Gorilla playing the drums to Phil Collins's 'In the Air Tonight'. I bet you are playing it in your head as you read this.

The Twitter Meltdown: Should you stop advertising your business on Twitter?

If you haven't been keeping up with all the news around Twitter, we don't blame you; it's a lot to take in. In the last two weeks alone, the company has descended into chaos.

Half the staff who worked for Twitter 7 days ago have been let go (he is now trying to get them back), the company has been removed from the stock exchange, users (including celebrities) are leaving the platform in droves, and some of the largest companies in the world, including Nestle, Sony and General Motors are halting all paid adverts on the platform.

Digital Marketing Tools: The History of Email

When new clients come to us, you would be surprised by the number of companies that don’t think about using email marketing to contact their existing customers and expanding their marketing funnel.

This is likely due to several factors. The first is that 99% of emails we receive are boring or the promotions included are not worth taking, and the second is the new laws introduced into the EU to protect your privacy. Thankfully, the days of receiving emails from companies you have never heard of offering your offers on foot creams are gone.

Like all relationships, keeping your customers invested in your brand requires understanding and care. What are they looking for? Why have they subscribed to get emails from me? Do they want to see this?. These are the questions you should be asking every time you create a new email campaign.

Email might be one of the oldest digital marketing tools available to us, but it’s still an avenue every business should utilise.

The Future of Personalised Advertising in Gaming

The video game industry used to be reasonably straightforward. Gamers would go to the shop, buy a cartridge (or, later, a disc), and then play on a console or computer at home. Console video games, which are played on systems such as the Playstation and Xbox, are still common. However, they are no longer the market's largest segment. Mobile games continue to consume a more significant portion of the video game market. The demographics of video game users have shifted as well. Exact figures are tough to obtain, but the Entertainment Software Association, for example, reports that about 41% of gamers are now female.

Here's how the video game industry is influencing marketing and brand interaction.

By far, the most significant change in the video game industry over the last decade has been the ability to play games on smartphones. The business models differ, but in most cases, game developers build "freemium" titles – games that are free to download and play but have in-app purchases (IAP) to improve the experience. Others use in-app advertisements, product placements, or a mix of the above.
