Mastering video marketing on a budget is one of the smartest things you can do as an up-and-coming marketer. You may have heard content is king, but video stands out as real royalty. In 2023, online video accounted for 82.5% of all web traffic. Video is capable of capturing attention and driving engagement like no other. While you might associate great video campaigns with million-dollar budgets, that’s not always the case. The reality is that a compelling video marketing strategy is within reach, regardless of where your budgets are at. Integrating video into your strategic plan without breaking the bank is all about being savvy with your resources.

Geographic segmentation is your magnifying glass into your audience. Using geographic segmentation elevates your marketing tool kit so you can create an exceptional customer experience. Think of your local radio station, broadcasting music - and relevant content - that caters to the tastes of the local listeners, this is geographic segmentation. Marketing to segments based on their location, city, or even the area’s quirky characteristics opens the door for you to personalize your marketing. Localized marketing is a great tool for engagement and relationship building.

Keeping an open mind is key to success in all areas of your personal and professional life, especially when it comes to planning for the future. An open mind allows you to adapt, learn, and grow, and it can lead to more rewarding results and a deeper understanding of the world around you. Adapting to new technologies will be pivotal to marketing success in 2024 and beyond, especially with AI on the radar. Nine out of 10 social media marketers say an active online community is critical to success in 2024. This coming year’s marketing landscape will be shaped by technological advancements and evolving buyer behaviors.

The process of brainstorming, when done right, is a goldmine filled with creative gems. Purposeful and fresh approaches to your audiences’ problems unearth groundbreaking ideas. Brainstorming isn’t just about meeting in conference rooms or jumping on a Zoom call, waiting for that lightbulb moment to appear - there’s a whole lot more to it if done well…

You can talk about everything under the sun with generative AI chatbots, from brainstorming names for your fantasy football team to recommending team-building ideas. They're your 24/7 conversational partners, ready for any topic you throw their way! (But maybe don’t try asking them to dinner.) Clear communication is the key to making the most out of conversations with chatbots in campaigns and when generating content.

Believe it or not, it’s already time to start reviewing data and analytics for 2024 planning. How do we as marketers keep up with the fast pace of our audience? The answer is actually quite simple… Data. By using data to make decisions, you can drive your strategies, distribute - your content and dollars - wisely, and drive marketing success.
