Digital Marketing: Popular Content Types and When to Use Them

We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to content types in digital marketing - so much so that it can be overwhelming. You’ve got something to shout about, but how should you do it? With a short, snappy TikTok? A quick Instagram Live? How about an in-depth blog, or should you create an infographic to get the message across?


The misuse of various content formats can dilute your message or cause it to become lost in a sea of abandoned blogs and unwatched videos. Low-quality posts are one of the biggest social media mistakes a brand can make, so understanding when and where to use the most popular types of content is a crucial part of any effective digital marketing strategy.

Retargeting: The Use of Cookies in Advertising

The Most Popular Video Production Trends in 2023

The world is full of trends to keep up with. Which jeans are in: skinny or wide? Is your friend’s mullet cool or dated? Should I throw away my galaxy print leggings or could they make a comeback?


The latest trends in video production evolve alongside the platforms we consume them on. Before the age of the internet, you’d only see marketing videos on television in the form of adverts - this changed when YouTube was born in 2005. Since then, the way consumers view video content has continued to evolve with the rise and fall of a variety of social media platforms, ever-influenced by the age and priorities of consumers.


So, where are we now? Keep reading for our list of the most popular video production trends in 2023!

Augment Your Reality: the Rise of AR in Marketing

We certainly won’t be the first people to tell you that the marketing world moves quickly, and we won’t be the last. Trends ebb and flow, with consumers’ interests constantly evolving as they look towards the next big ‘thing’ - and it’s always been this way.

The invention of mass printing in the 15th century eventually led to the production of the first magazines in the 1700s. A century later, businesses began to advertise on posters and billboards, and the early 1900s brought the rise of radio advertising, followed by television ads and telemarketing. By the time we reach the turn of the millennium, marketing trends and tactics were developing more and more quickly within the new digital age. 

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), blogging, social media marketing, e-commerce and email marketing were some of the trends we saw rise in the 00s. The following decade saw the maturation of many of these tactics as more people began to use smartphones and social media. High-quality, engaging content marketing, video marketing and influencer marketing all became popular in the 2010s.

Busting Common PPC Myths

We’ve all fallen victim to believing in a myth, whether we know it or not. Some are totally harmless, like how we believe goldfish have three-second memories when really, their memory span could be up to five months long. Others shape the way we do certain things, such as drinking eight glasses of water every day (the ideal amount changes from person to person) or adding salt to water to make it boil faster (the difference is actually negligible). 


You can probably find a myth about any topic you can think of, and the world of PPC is no different. It’s important to fully understand exactly what you’re getting into when you spend money on marketing, including how much time and money you’ll be putting in and the results you can expect.

Just Browsing: How to Reduce Online Shopping Cart Abandonment

Sometimes, I wish I could view a list of every item I’ve ever added into an online shopping cart and then abandoned. All the lost trinkets I decided I didn’t need, the furniture I realised wouldn’t match my wallpaper, or the outfits I knew would never arrive in time. A gallery of things I once wanted, but never ended up getting. 

I’d hazard a guess that you feel the same, as almost 70% of all online shopping carts are abandoned by shoppers. In other words, only 3 in every 10 customers who begin filling their carts end up making a purchase. That’s a lot of figuratively lost bits and bobs, and a lot of lost revenue for businesses.

Research has found many reasons as to why consumers abandon carts, but luckily, there are things you can do to reduce the impact of these factors when customers are browsing your own ecommerce website. Keep reading to find out how to reduce your business’ online shopping cart abandonment rates…

DIGITAL MARKETING TOOLS: THE HISTORY OF PPC

Did you know that PPC advertising began way back in 1996? Currently, Google holds a monopoly over the industry, but it wasn't always that way. Next up in our Digital Marketing Tools: History of series, we are delving into the history of PPC, alongside a brief look into where it might be heading in the future.

The story began in 1996 when the first documented version of PPC appeared on a platform called Planet Oases. If you haven't heard of it before, in the 90s, Plant Oases was a desktop application featuring links to informational and commercial websites. Businesses could pay Planet Oases a small sum to have their site appear higher or be featured in specific search results. While this wasn't a huge success, to begin with, it was enough for other platforms to notice. The same year, Open Text index introduced a feature called 'Paid Listings'; these ads only feature in search results. Unfortunately, this wasn't a success for Open Text Index, and users largely ignored the feature. There is one more thing that happened in 1996 that would go on to shape the future of PPC; Standford University started a new project called 'Google'.

Are the Kardashians shaping the future of Social Media Marketing? 

If you are interested in social media or digital marketing, you would have probably seen many headlines talking about the end of Instagram and Kylie Jenner, but why?

This year Meta (Instagram and Facebook's parent company) decided to start placing content from people you don't follow into the feed, which is tanking engagement on business pages, showing irrelevant ads to users and de-prioritising your friend's posts. While many people are unhappy with this change, it's all coming from Meta's fear that you enjoy using TikTok more than Instagram.

Digital Marketing Tools: The History of Social Media

While social media has become an essential utility in today's world, it hasn't always been that way. Many people are unaware of how Social media started, or the digital landscape before tech giants like Facebook and Google controlled so much of our digital activity. The Rise and Fall of so many social media platforms mirror the same issues modern networks have today, so where did it all start?

Before we begin, it's important to remember that in the late 90s and early 2000s, the Internet was extremely primitive compared to today. The platforms I am about to outline are referred to as Social Media platforms but share more modern similarities to forums. However, what makes a website a social media platform has never really changed; while they may have looked and functioned very differently 20 years ago, the basic premise of connecting and sharing with people online has remained a core pillar of the experience.

Take Pride in Your Marketing This June

The first Pride march in the United Kingdom took place 50 years ago. It was a celebration, but it was also a protest. Things have progressed significantly since then, but progress should not be taken for granted; there is always more work to be done.

Rainbows seem to emerge everywhere throughout June, July, and August as corporations demonstrate their apparent support for the LGBTQ+ community. While this may appear to be a good thing – after all, supporting a marginalised community can only be a positive thing, right? – the rainbow washing of everything from candies to banners in public transportation does not convey the whole story.
