Marketing after the pandemic
Historically, depressions have inflamed automation anxiety. In the US, the machinery debates of the 1920s and 30s began with labor secretary James J. Davis’s famous 1927 speech. Fast-forward to the current decade and innovators, thought-leaders and economists have all talked about transforming businesses with AI and technology for years. Dismally, adoption has remained uneven and often met with averseness among some sectors. As COVID-19 has tipped the world into global recession in a matter of weeks, it has tellingly served as a forcing function to accelerate technological transformation across the globe.As the pandemic reignites initiatives by corporations to integrate their architecture with digital mediums, it also brings with it the many challenges of adjusting to the new normal, driving sustainability and long-term prosperity with technology. B2B marketers are not immune to the struggles of achieving tangible results out of their virtual initiatives.
How effective is the move to digital mediums?
Let’s analyze what this means in the context of marketing. Marketers are investing efforts into targeting prospects over LinkedIn with content marketing, field marketing personnel and sales enablement teams are conducting meetings with prospects virtually.
There is no denying the innumerable benefits such as significantly lower travel budgets and the abated costs from suspended networking events now that work is remote. Yet, the challenges of personalizing communication, understanding, and influencing buyers in the absence of face-to-face interactions, segmenting audiences, and targeting the right people with the right messaging are arrayed against marketers with a renewed force. Let’s not forget that after the lockdown is over, remote working will be the new normal and we might do away with expensive in-person networking events altogether.
Now is the time to think about not just adopting technology, but to decide how pandemic-proof activities to thrive when we come out of lockdown. Should marketers fail to plan for the future, they will have to pay the debt of being stuck with antediluvian and ineffective infrastructures.
