Study Notes
Digital Marketing, a First Overview
- Marketing is viewed as an operational activity (sales)
- Marketing is a strategic function (department)
- Marketing is a normative corporate purpose (customer orientation)
Digital Platforms
- Development of digital platforms is driven by technology (bandwidth), globalization (ubiquitous availability), pandemics (social/physical isolation), and conflict resolution (e.g., Arab Spring).
- These developments leverage the fundamental psychological desire for communication, appreciation, information transparency and social inclusion.
- A platform is a business system enabling value-creating interactions between suppliers and customers, like B2B and B2C.
Digital Platforms (Continued)
- Digital platforms provide an open and participatory environment and infrastructure.
- Purpose is the exchange of products, services, information, stocks, currencies and social currencies (value of social influence).
- Digital platforms create value for all involved (win-win).
- Digital infrastructure significantly expands reach, velocity, convenience, and efficiency.
Digital Platforms (Continued)
- Digital platforms rarely own resources in the field they broker.
- Examples: Airbnb and booking.com (no real estate), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok (no content), Uber and Freenow (no mobility).
Multi-sided Platforms (MSP)
- A diagram illustrating various platforms and their types is included.
Success Factors for Digital Platforms
- Transactions: Aligning interests of digital infrastructure users who otherwise wouldn't connect. Access from anywhere, anytime; simple, intuitive search allowing for relevant browsing.
- Attraction: The utility of a digital platform depends mainly on transactions (see above). A large user base leverages the network effect (utility of information exchange).
- Scalable: Virtualization allows wide (global) reach. Geographic proximity and technical equipment play little or no role, given stability, connectivity, etc. Growth enabled by "everything-as-a-service". (EaaS, XaaS)
