BLOG/CAST: Graham Watson #1

In the style-obsessed 80s, no agency was more obsessed than BBH. Everything that came out of the place reeked of it. Including the staff. Their men’s toilets were stocked with tubs of hair gel (What? It was the eighties!) Their AAR reel, a tool for agencies for clients to compile pitch lists, didn’t follow the template the rest of the industry did (pasty faced public schoolboys using big words,…

“Compresi molti anni fa quanto il lavorio misterioso del “meccanismo della specificità”, indicato da Weiss [Paul Alfred Weiss, biologo, 1898 - 1989], sia necessario nella costruzione della “organizzazione” o della totalità del sistema vivente al suo livello più complesso. Avvenne quando Dan Stern [Daniel Norman Stern, psichiatra e psicoanalista ed esponente della Infant Research] mi offrì l’opportunità di riesaminare, immagine per immagine, alcuni filmati di neonati che avevamo girato per il nostro studio longitudinale [studio realizzato allo scopo di misurare la variazione di alcuni fattori negli stessi soggetti per un periodo di tempo più o meno lungo]. La scena in questione riguardava dei filmati di breve durata ripresi dalla nostra équipe durante una visita a domicilio fatta ad una delle nostre neonate all’ottavo giorno di vita e tre giorni dopo che la madre e la piccola erano ritornate a casa dall’ospedale (1958). Un operatore del nostro gruppo di ricerca parlava con il padre nel giardino. La madre gli stava vicina tenendo in braccio la bambina e parlando con il responsabile del gruppo. A un certo punto, la bambina iniziò ad agitarsi. La madre cercò di calmarla, ma invano e, allora, sentendosi un po’ imbarazzata dalla presenza del responsabile, decise di servire il rinfresco. Diede la bambina al padre, che stava in piedi li vicino parlando con un ricercatore, e rientrò in casa. I successivi due o tre minuti del filmato mostrano il padre mentre tiene la bambina con il braccio sinistro continuando a parlare con il ricercatore e poi la bambina che si addormente mentre loro continuano a parlare. Questo è tutto ciò che si vede nel film proiettato alla normale velocità di trenta fotogrammi al secondo. Proiettando, invece, la stessa scena fotogramma dopo fotogramma, si vede il padre dare di sfuggita un’occhiata al volto della bambina, mentre, strano a dirsi, anche la bambina guarda il volto del padre. Poi, il braccio sinistro della bambina, che era appoggiato sul braccio sinistro del padre, inizia a muoversi verso l’alto. Quindi la mano della bambina e la mano del padre si muovono verso l’alto nello stesso istante. Infine, proprio quando si incontrano sul pancino della bambina, la mano sinistra della bambina afferra il mignolo della mano destra del padre. In quel preciso istante gli occhi della neonata si chiudono e si addormente, mentre il padre continua a parlare, apparentemente senza accorgersi del piccolo miracolo di specificità di tempo, luogo e movimento che è avvenuto tra le sue braccia”.

(Louis W. Sander, Pensare differentemente. Per una concettualizzazione dei processi di base dei sistemi viventi. La specificità del riconoscimento, Ricerca Psicoanalitica, Anno XVI, N° 3, 2005, CDP Editore, Milano, pp. 275 - 276).

Secondo Paul Weiss la “specificità” (the device of specificity) è “una sorta di risonanza tra due sistemi sintonizzati reciprocamente su proprietà corrispondenti”.

We are thrilled to see BeOp launch their AI application to build conversational content performance ads for the attention economy that drives brand reach, traffic, and most importantly intent-based transactions.

Their next-generation platform is built for today, and tomorrow, bringing together modules for publishers and brands to engage audiences with their unique conversational ads that increase attention and intent. As well as generate, and capture data in their DMP for both supply and demand partners. Who can then push to their CRM, DMP, or CDP. This is very aligned with our belief in audience data empowerment.

The Power of Personalization in Digital Marketing

In today’s competitive digital landscape, personalization has emerged as a powerful tool that can set brands apart, deepen customer relationships, and drive conversions. Consumers are increasingly expecting experiences that feel tailored to their preferences, behaviors, and needs. Rather than being a "nice-to-have," personalization has become a strategic necessity, enabling businesses to cut through the noise and deliver meaningful content that resonates with their audience.

Whether it’s a recommendation engine that suggests products based on browsing history, emails that address customers by name and offer relevant deals, or dynamic web content that adjusts in real-time to user behavior, personalization has a remarkable impact on engagement. As brands collect more data about their users, they’re equipped to create experiences that feel individualized, fostering loyalty and increasing the likelihood of repeat interactions.

What is Personalization in Digital Marketing?

Define personalization and its evolution from basic segmentation to advanced, data-driven, individual targeting.

Examples: personalized emails, product recommendations, targeted ads based on user behavior.

Why Personalization Matters Today More Than Ever

Explain the impact of personalization on consumer expectations, engagement, and satisfaction.

Include statistics on how personalization improves ROI (e.g., higher conversion rates, better click-through rates).

Types of Personalization in Digital Marketing

Content Personalization: Tailoring blogs, videos, and articles to different audience segments.

Email Personalization: From using the recipient’s name to recommending products based on past purchases.

Website Personalization: Adjusting homepage content, banners, and offers based on visitor profiles or behavior.

Product Recommendations: Leveraging user browsing history and preferences to suggest relevant products.

Dynamic Retargeting Ads: Serving personalized ads to users who’ve previously visited your site or abandoned their carts.

The Role of Data in Personalization

Overview of how data collection (e.g., cookies, CRM systems) fuels personalization efforts.

Discuss first-party data vs. third-party data and trends like cookie-less personalization.

Address ethical considerations, including user privacy and data protection.

Key Technologies Powering Personalization

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Using AI algorithms for real-time personalization (e.g., predictive analytics, dynamic ads).

Machine Learning: How ML analyzes consumer behavior patterns to make accurate recommendations.

Customer Data Platforms (CDPs): Managing and unifying customer data for consistent personalization.

Marketing Automation Tools: Scaling personalized campaigns, especially for email and social media.

Benefits of Personalization in Digital Marketing

Improved Customer Experience: Customers feel valued when they receive relevant content and offers.

Increased Conversions and Sales: Tailored messaging helps in driving purchasing decisions.

Higher Customer Loyalty and Retention: Personalization fosters a sense of connection with the brand.

Enhanced Brand Loyalty: People are more likely to return to a brand that “understands” them.

Challenges and Considerations in Personalization

Privacy Concerns: Balancing personalization with respect for user privacy and complying with regulations like GDPR and CCPA.

Data Management: Effectively collecting, managing, and analyzing data for accurate personalization.

Avoiding Over-Personalization: Finding the right balance to avoid overwhelming or creeping out customers.

Getting Started with Personalization in Digital Marketing

Steps for brands to start personalizing their digital marketing efforts:

Identify Your Audience Segments: Use data to create detailed audience personas.

Leverage Technology: Invest in AI, ML, or CRM systems that facilitate personalization.

Implement Incrementally: Start with simple personalization (e.g., emails) and expand gradually.

Monitor and Optimize: Use A/B testing to refine personalized campaigns.

TIPS AND TOOLS 

Implementing personalization in digital marketing requires powerful tools that allow businesses to gather, analyze, and act on customer data efficiently. Here are some of the most effective tools and technologies that enable brands to create personalized experiences across various channels:

1. Customer Data Platforms (CDPs)

Examples: Segment, Tealium, Adobe Experience Platform

Purpose: CDPs centralize and unify customer data from multiple sources, creating a single, cohesive profile for each user. This enables marketers to gain insights into behaviors, preferences, and past interactions, making it easier to deliver consistent, personalized messaging.

2. Email Marketing Automation Platforms

Examples: Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo

Purpose: These platforms enable email personalization at scale by automating segment-specific campaigns, dynamic content, and triggered emails based on user actions (e.g., abandoned cart emails). They can tailor subject lines, recommendations, and offers to individual users, boosting engagement and conversions.

3. Dynamic Website Content Tools

Examples: Optimizely, Dynamic Yield, Adobe Target

Purpose: Dynamic content tools allow websites to display personalized content to users based on their browsing history, location, behavior, or demographic data. By showing the most relevant products, recommendations, or messages, brands can create a more engaging user experience.

4. Recommendation Engines

Examples: Amazon Personalize, Google Recommendations AI

Purpose: These tools use machine learning algorithms to analyze user behavior and suggest products or content that align with their interests. Widely used by e-commerce sites and content platforms, recommendation engines help increase user engagement and sales.

5. Chatbots and AI-Powered Customer Service Tools

Examples: Drift, Intercom, ManyChat

Purpose: AI-powered chatbots can provide personalized customer service by responding to user questions and tailoring recommendations based on past interactions and preferences. These tools offer real-time, one-on-one engagement and can improve customer satisfaction.

6. A/B Testing and Personalization Platforms

Examples: VWO, Google Optimize, Unbounce

Purpose: A/B testing platforms enable marketers to test different versions of content and layouts to see which resonate best with specific audiences. Many of these platforms now include personalization features, allowing brands to tailor experiences based on real-time data.

7. Social Media Analytics and Personalization Tools

Examples: Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Socialbakers

Purpose: Social media tools that analyze follower behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns enable marketers to deliver targeted, personalized content on social channels. They can also identify influencers and audiences with similar interests for more relevant social marketing.

8. Data Analytics and CRM Tools

Examples: Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365

Purpose: CRMs provide a comprehensive view of customer interactions and preferences. By analyzing data from CRM tools, brands can build highly personalized campaigns and create targeted messaging that resonates at every stage of the customer journey.

9. Ad Retargeting Platforms

Examples: Google Ads, Facebook Ads, AdRoll

Purpose: Retargeting tools allow brands to re-engage users who have interacted with their website or app but did not complete a desired action. By personalizing ads to these specific users based on their prior behavior, brands can increase the chances of conversion.

10. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Tools

Examples: IBM Watson, Google AI, AWS AI Services

Purpose: AI and machine learning tools analyze vast amounts of data to predict customer behavior, segment audiences, and automate personalized responses. These technologies are crucial for brands looking to scale personalization and uncover hidden patterns in user data.

 Digital marketing has evolved beyond one-size-fits-all strategies, with personalization now serving as a critical component for success. By delivering tailored experiences, businesses can connect more deeply with their audiences, enhance customer loyalty, and ultimately boost conversions and ROI. However, achieving meaningful personalization requires a balance of data, technology, and respect for customer privacy. As consumer expectations for personalized experiences continue to rise, businesses that embrace a data-driven, customer-centric approach will have a clear advantage.

Top 5 Digital Marketing Trends for 2024 Every Business Should Know

Top 5 Digital Marketing Trends for 2024 Every Business Should Know

As digital marketing continues to evolve, businesses must stay updated with the latest trends to remain competitive. The year 2024 promises to be transformative, with technological advancements reshaping the way businesses interact with customers online. Below are the top five digital marketing trends for 2024 that every business, from small local enterprises to global corporations, should know and incorporate into their strategies.

1. **Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Integration**

**Key Points:**

- **AI-Powered Tools:** Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the digital marketing landscape. From predictive analytics to personalized content generation, AI is helping marketers create more effective campaigns. AI tools such as chatbots, smart content, and customer behavior analysis offer deeper insights, driving more precise marketing efforts.

- **Machine Learning for Personalization:** Machine learning (ML), a subset of AI, analyzes data to predict future trends and customer behaviors. By understanding past behaviors and preferences, businesses can offer hyper-personalized experiences, which result in higher engagement and conversion rates.

- **AI in Advertising:** AI is increasingly being used to optimize ad campaigns. Tools like Google’s AI-powered bidding strategies use ML to determine the most efficient way to allocate budgets, leading to better returns on investment (ROI).

**Practical Implementation:**

- Businesses should invest in AI-driven tools to improve targeting, automation, and decision-making processes. Tools like ChatGPT, for instance, can automate customer service and create personalized content. Marketers should also explore AI-driven customer data platforms (CDPs) for enhanced segmentation and targeting.

---

2. **Voice Search Optimization and Smart Speakers**

**Key Points:**

- **Growth of Voice Search:** Voice search is becoming a significant part of the customer journey. With devices like Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, and Apple’s Siri, more consumers are conducting searches through voice rather than typing. This trend is expected to grow even further in 2024, with estimates suggesting that more than 50% of all searches will be voice-based.

- **Natural Language Processing (NLP):** Voice searches are more conversational, requiring marketers to adapt their SEO strategies. Natural Language Processing (NLP) allows voice assistants to understand and process complex voice queries, meaning businesses need to optimize for long-tail keywords and natural phrases.

- **Local SEO and Voice Search:** Voice searches are typically local, making it crucial for businesses to optimize for local SEO. Phrases like “near me” or “closest” are common in voice searches, so companies should ensure their Google My Business listings are accurate and updated.

**Practical Implementation:**

- To optimize for voice search, businesses need to focus on conversational keywords and questions that users might ask. FAQs are excellent content formats for voice search optimization. It’s also important to ensure mobile optimization and fast load times, as these factors significantly influence rankings in voice search results.

---

3. **Rise of Video Marketing and Short-Form Content**

**Key Points:**

- **Short-Form Video Popularity:** Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have made short-form videos the most popular type of content on the internet. In 2024, short-form video is predicted to account for over 80% of all internet traffic, with users increasingly preferring bite-sized, engaging content.

- **User-Generated Content (UGC):** Short-form content generated by users will play a crucial role in video marketing. Brands are encouraging their audiences to create videos about their experiences with products, which builds trust and authenticity.

- **Video SEO:** With the rise in video consumption, optimizing videos for search engines is becoming increasingly important. Businesses need to focus on video titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails to increase visibility on platforms like YouTube and Google.

**Practical Implementation:**

- Brands should invest in creating both short-form and long-form video content. For example, product demonstrations, behind-the-scenes footage, or quick tips in the form of Instagram Reels or TikTok videos can engage younger audiences. Video content can also be repurposed for blogs, social media, and email marketing.

---

4. **The Dominance of Social Commerce**

**Key Points:**

- **Integration of Shopping Features in Social Media:** Social commerce has become an essential part of the consumer shopping experience. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are now fully integrated with e-commerce features, allowing users to make purchases without leaving the platform. This seamless shopping experience is expected to grow even further in 2024.

- **Live Shopping:** Livestream shopping events are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in Asia, and are expected to make a larger impact in Western markets. These live events allow businesses to showcase products in real-time, answer questions, and provide exclusive offers to viewers.

- **Influencer Partnerships in Social Commerce:** Influencer marketing continues to evolve, and in 2024, influencers will play an even greater role in driving social commerce. Micro-influencers, in particular, have seen a rise in popularity due to their high engagement rates and niche audiences.

**Practical Implementation:**

- Businesses should integrate social commerce tools into their strategies by enabling features like Instagram Shops, Facebook Marketplace, and TikTok shopping. Partnering with relevant influencers to promote products during live shopping events can also significantly drive sales.

---

5. **Data Privacy and Ethical Marketing**

**Key Points:**

- **Increased Privacy Regulations:** As privacy concerns grow, governments are enacting stricter data protection regulations. In 2024, businesses will need to adapt to more comprehensive privacy laws like GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California, which restrict the collection and use of personal data.

- **Cookieless Future:** Third-party cookies, once the backbone of digital advertising, are being phased out. Google is planning to fully eliminate third-party cookies by the end of 2024, forcing businesses to rethink their advertising and data collection strategies.

- **Transparency and Trust:** Consumers are increasingly concerned about how their data is being used. To build trust, businesses will need to adopt ethical marketing practices by being transparent about data collection and usage. This includes providing users with clear options to opt-in or out of data sharing and ensuring compliance with all regulations.

**Practical Implementation:**

- Businesses should prioritize first-party data collection by encouraging users to share information directly through opt-in forms, surveys, and newsletters. Marketers must also ensure they are compliant with all data protection regulations and implement transparent communication regarding data usage.

---

Conclusion

As we move into 2024, these five trends—AI and machine learning, voice search optimization, video marketing, social commerce, and data privacy—are shaping the future of digital marketing. By staying on top of these trends and adapting strategies accordingly, businesses can not only maintain their competitive edge but also create meaningful, long-lasting connections with their audience.

Marketers must be agile and open to experimenting with these innovations. Whether it’s adopting AI-driven tools, optimizing for voice search, or tapping into the power of short-form video, the key is to continuously evolve in this dynamic digital landscape. With the right strategies, businesses can harness these trends to drive growth and success in 2024 and beyond.

PSC Approves AGL Rate Hike

New Post has been published on https://www.georgiagassavings.com/blog/psc-approves-agl-rate-hike/

PSC Approves AGL Rate Hike

Expect Higher Bills with AGL Rate Hike

No one likes it when AGL hikes its rate for delivering natural gas to your home. Learn what’s the reason for the newest PSC approved increase and how it affects your natural gas bills.

In Georgia you have the power to choose your natural gas supplier. Your natural gas utility, however, is out of your control. If you are in the Atlanta Gas Light service area, you will soon see a change in your gas bill. This is because the Georgia PSC approved an increase in the charges for the gas utility earlier this month. And more changes could be on the way. So, let’s dig into the PSC approved AGL rate hike and how it affects you.

What Are AGL Charges For?

You might pay a natural gas provider, like Constellation or Xoom, for the gas you use at home each month. However, it is AGL that maintains the pipeline network and gets the natural gas to your house. So, on your natural gas bill, the AGL pass-through charges cover those costs of day-to-day operations. AGL also has to do regular overhauls to parts of the system to keep up with increasing demand and to maintain a reliable and affordable gas supply in our state. Those kinds of projects are expensive. Therefore, AGL passes those costs on to you with more charges.

What is the Most Recent AGL Rate Hike?

The most recent hike in AGL rates is for the System Reinforcement Rider (SRR). According to the utility, the money will go towards increasing the capacity of the delivery system with more and larger piping. Getting into the specifics, the SRR on your gas bill will go from $0.32 to $1.15. With AGL’s 1.7 million customers, the rate increase gives the company an additional $16.9 million per year.

The increase in this charge is part of the utility’s three-year Integrated Capacity Development Plan (i-CDP). So, hopefully the charge will stay steady for at least the next three years.

More Rate Hikes to Come?

On top of the SRR increase, the PSC also said yes to adding another surcharge to AGL natural gas bills. The new charge covers costs for county, municipal, and transportation department related natural gas projects. Although the PSC already said yes to adding the charge, AGL will file a request for the amount later this month. These changes would go into effect in January 2025.

While increased charges on your natural gas bill are not welcome news for any of us, the good news is that fixed rate natural gas prices are still low. Find a great rate and save money on your natural gas bill today at https://www.georgiagassavings.com.
