Marketing in a fast-paced world can seem like a lot of never-ending work. In this current world of rapid-fire content and a seemingly constant demand for attention, marketing can feel stressful, and it can be easy to feel like things are going way too fast. Between keeping up with the latest trends, social media, and the increase of AI and algorithmic-powered advertising, sometimes businesses find themselves fumbling to keep up. This calls into question the best approach to marketing in this day and age.
Oddly enough, the answer is simply to slow down! This, of course, does not mean you need to halt regular and consistent posting or start ignoring trends, but rather, it means that marketing must be done with intention and consideration. Slowing down to combat a fast-paced world involves planning, working to learn and develop, and learning more about what will capture your target audience's attention best.
Going too fast in planning can lead to problems like:
The trick is to slow down to go fast. It is important to be adaptive, plan, and make an impact in today's fast-paced world. Keep yourself informed about trends and world/local events that might affect your campaign and plan. As you plan, always be learning and developing your skills in the marketing world. A marketing team that is always learning and growing will be far more ready to adapt to rapid changes in the field.
In marketing, you always want to be consistent. Plan your campaigns for a fast-paced world by:
Gearing your campaigns to educate, inspire, and/or entertain
Making them interesting and worth the consumer's time
Being intentional in your campaigning approach
Figuring out what does/doesn't work and adapting accordingly
Using these guidelines, you can work to plan out an adaptable campaign that will be more consistent, high in quality, and able to stand out in the world of rapid-fire content. Don't just react to the constant changes but intentionally plan for and adapt to them!

There’s no denying it, marketers are diving into digital advertising - the deep end of digital advertising.
Recent surveys of business owners and ad buyers spanning multiple industries show that everyone is swimming away from traditional media like print, radio, and TV into the streaming current of digital channels.
According to eMarketer.com, digital advertising accounts for 54% of ad budgets. That's nearly $130 billion in the United States alone. That figure is expected to grow to 67% by 2023.
Notably, this marks the first time marketers are spending more on digital advertising than traditional options. Take a look at the figures:
While print and radio were the first to feel the drowning effects of digital, television is also getting swept up by the growing digital tide. Even Google and Facebook are watching their backs as reports indicate Amazon is swimming into their territory with rapid speed.

As marketers dive into digital advertising and ride digital tidal wave, video will be their best surfboard.
Emarketer.com shares that video will continue to drive the growth of digital advertising spending, particularly in social media and through the use of Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms like Hulu and Roku.
A Forbes.com article shared a report by the Interactive Advertising Bureau indicated that 41% of United States consumers over the age of 13 watch online and streaming videos daily.
The report also shared that 75% of digital video viewers are willing to watch advertising in exchange for content. Not only will they watch the ad, online viewers pay more attention to video messages and prefer to learn about new products through video.
Impact Learning Center and Wyzowl also provide compelling digital video statistics:
As marketers are swimming in the deep end of digital advertising ocean, it may be comforting to know they all have a familiar lifeboat.
Good storytelling remains at the heart of any campaign. Without it, consumers won’t get on board with a product or brand, no matter how often they see it on their channel of choice.
Finally, if marketers stick with good stories and surf all channels with video, they can ride the wave of digital marketing to success.
