Introduction

50 years ago, marketing strategies looked totally different from what they are today. Heck, even 10 years ago things were drastically different. Since the rise of the Internet, marketing has reached new heights, as it now plays a major role in the digital world. Never before has content been so accessible and audiences so readily available. However, the digital landscape has been inundated with so much content that it is hard to navigate - not just as a consumer, but as a marketer, as well. 

Did you know that about 3.7 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day? And that’s just one small island in the sea of digital content. So when you’re trying to get your message out there, how do you get seen? How do you advertise when audiences are experiencing ad fatigue and constant content overload?

This is the question MediaPost and WowYow try to answer…

Gimme a Slice of That!

MediaPost’s article, by Ryan Green, warns marketers about the potential consequences of mass media marketing. Particularly for smaller agencies, marketing towards a broad, general audience can have serious financial repercussions. With such a crowded digital marketing space, it’s important to make yourself visible to the audience you’re specifically talking to.

Niche marketing allows brands to intimately understand the specific needs, preferences, and pain points of their target audience, enabling them to create tailored messages and products that truly resonate. This deeper connection builds brand loyalty, trust, and authenticity, driving long-term customer relationships. Furthermore, niche marketing often entails lower competition, making it cost-effective and efficient. In contrast to mass appeal, where messages can be diluted to fit a broad spectrum of consumers, niche marketing sharpens the focus, ensuring that every marketing dollar spent has a higher probability of converting and driving brand growth.

“Because new media’s strategy is to win a smaller share of the pie, these groups can be more focused and nimbler in attracting an audience, providing several strategic advantages over legacy media institutions.” 

The main point we are trying to express is that you need to start using solutions that make the most of your budget. Sometimes it’s better to win the slice of pie, satisfying your needs. The whole pie might just be overkill and ultimately lead to waste. 



Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

For many marketers, competition is what both drives and impedes every campaign. However, with the resources available through technology, experts are finding that there are more efficient ways to strategize your marketing efforts. 

“The antidote is not to launch another broad marketing campaign, but instead to cultivate an ecosystem, a long-term symbiotic partnership within a community.”

Advertising ecosystems are extremely important, and we at WowYow have built mutually beneficial communities for advertisers to connect with a network of publishers. We’ll talk more about WowYow’s Contextual DSP later, but for now, it’s important to note that whether you use our solution or not, it is recommended by many industry professionals to place yourself in an ecosystem that will streamline your marketing campaigns and maximize business growth.
