While the digital era presents significant opportunities, it also poses serious
threats, especially to companies that remain mired in analog mindsets. Com-
panies of all types that survive and thrive will be those able to engage cus-
tomers with relevant information and offers, encouraging long-term dialogue
and deeper relationships. New kinds of technology platforms and capabilities
will enable them to build these relationships.
When it comes to the media and entertainment companies providing the digital
channels, the winners will be those that successfully migrate to a performance-
or outcome-centric monetization model. They will be able to identify how to
develop, distribute and sustain digital relationships with their customers. They
will devise ways to forge focused and accountable partnerships with marketers
to present more relevant and compelling advertising propositions founded on a
much deeper, more data-driven understanding of their consumers’ preferences
and interests, learned and developed through time.
Marketers will pay digital dollars, not just digital pennies, to publishers
able to identify specific target audiences at discrete phases of the purchase
consideration process and who have a clear interest in a particular category
and service. More generally, the digital age will have truly arrived when
companies have learned to create engaging, customized and relevant online
and mobile experiences for consumers.
