A complete list of web marketing areas

I am impressed with this extensive list of web marketing areas by Jeremiah Owyang. It’s, as he calls it „A Complete List of the Many Forms of Web Marketing for 2008“ and for the moment it does indeed look very complete.

This document catalogs the many tools and tactics available for corporate web strategy in 2008. Even if your strategy or resource limitations restrict you from entering all spaces, awareness of the changes in our digital landscape are critical. This document is intended for decision makers roles such as CMO/VP/Director of Web and Marketing.

If anything, it shows that digital marketing has become a considerably large field of opportunities! At the same time it shows that there is still huge potential and opportunities for most companies out there.

These trends do not only concern marketing and advertising, but also technology and internet trends.
It does sound a little like a link bait, but that’s fine for me as long as that lists gets updated frequently.

Live online banner creation for a news portal.

This is a rather interesting online advertising approach from Norway:

One of Norways largest online news sources wanted to promote their online services. The idea: several copywriters comment live on the articles on the news portal, during the day and evening hours.

Within around 150 hours, more than 1,000 unique ads have been created this way. Enjoyable idea, and if the live comments by the copywriters were any good, people might have actually surfed the portal for quite some time just to read the ads…
