How Content Marketing Hubs Win in the Alcohol Industry

What is a content marketing hub? A content marketing hub is an online destination, owned by brands, where the brands act like publishers.

Not all native advertisers should do content marketing but…

Not all native advertisers should do content marketing but all content marketers should do native. Why?

Beyond the Click

Something that we’ve talked about a lot at Nudge are the quality metrics that Agencies, Brands and Publishers need to prove the ROI of their native content.

Nudge Metrics – Bounce Rate for Native Content.

Bounce rate has historically been an editorial based metric. It counts a bounce if you don’t click on another link, however, we now consume content differently.

This new way of detecting bounces is also a valuable way to review the different media sources driving traffic… Continue reading

Visual Storytelling – Why use it?

Digital marketing has in recent years created higher expectations for both customers and employees due to all the different ways they can be reached. Social media plays a big part in this along with the fact that people more or less carry a mobile device on their person at all times. Studies have shown that people pick up their phones 150 times per day, and emails are checked 30 times per hour. With all that content going around the internet,… Continue reading

How you can improve and succeed with Mobile Marketing

When a customer is using a smartphone and is ready to shop on your site, make sure it’s a smooth process. If the website isn’t optimized for a mobile platform, the customer has to go through an annoying process where s/he needs to zoom, click and undergo the difficulty of filling out a credit card form. Then it’s likely that s/he might leave… Continue reading
