2019 is only days away. Due to that, 2019 marketing strategy planning is in its final pre-launch phase for a lot of businesses. 2018 brought a lot of changes to the digital marketing landscape. Certainly that landscape will change even faster as we move into and beyond 2019.
On December 10th, we podcasted from our biggest event of the year, Hubbard Digital Academy at Mall of America. Hubbard Digital Academy is a one-day marketing event. It includes sessions on Facebook advertising, video, graphic design, SEO, PPC and more. Since digital marketing changes so quickly, we host these events throughout the year, and we’re already planning our next one.
In contrast to our regular episode format, we mixed things up a bit this time. We welcomed 8 guests in one podcast. Members of our Hubbard Interactive team sat down with 8 small business marketers. They represented business in property management, astrology, publishing, remodeling, B2B, non-profit consulting, and more. Most noteworthy, we asked each one a single question, “What is your biggest marketing challenge for 2019?” As a result, we had great conversations about what they can do as they plan their 2019 marketing strategy. So no matter what industry you work in, there should be valuable takeaways for you from these chats.
