Marketers are continually juggling channels and activities sometimes in isolation from other communications, sometimes in completely different teams that have never even met!

I can hear 99 out of 100 marketers saying either nowhere or What?! Audio hasn’t really made any impact on digital marketing except when connected to video, yet music and audio is all around us and is part of every conversation we have.

2012 was another year when Ecommerce continued to lead the high street by attracting shoppers and increasing retail sales particularly for those businesses that are actively embracing the digital world. With a worldwide economic downturn affecting the spending ability of everyone except the super-rich for the past 5 years, any growth in a market except perhaps debt recovery is remarkable. Ecommerce retailers have been a part of a UK growth in the sector of 93% over the past 5 years which is an indication of where the future lies.
