Digital Strategies Customer-Focused Strategy for Digital Media
What sets you apart?
In a digital landscape where information and news seem like commodities, how can any one product stand out? How can you build a viable business when consumers think information should be free? And how can you build organizations nimble enough to change fast enough? The answer to all three questions lies in becoming customer focused.
This seminar, Digital Strategies: Customer-Focused Strategy for Digital Media, provides fresh insight - grounded in new MMC research - about what online users care about. And it offers concrete ideas for how to translate that insight into winning strategies.
Why attend Digital Strategies?
At this seminar, MMC will unveil groundbreaking new research that identifies:
How consumers sift through the sea of options;
How successful non-news companies achieve customer focus;
How technological trends require news organizations to develop six new competencies if they are to succeed.
Expert faculty will explain how to translate the research into a strategic vision and then will take participants through the essentials of building a customer-focused organization, from metrics to culture change. You'll learn:
What matters to consumers online and how to stand out
How to create a customer focused strategy
How to build a customer-focused organization
How to make metrics and measurement drive your efforts
How to make customer focus enhance, not diminish, your journalistic mission
How to capture the eyes of tomorrow's news consumers
