As new digital channels are invented and come into play, how do you determine which are revolutionary and which are hype?
Christoph Trappe @CTrappe
Try to hit new digital channels early, determine viability and then keep going or move on.
Michael Halbrook @Halbrook
Watch closely & test, test, test, test. Some are revolutionary for some, others are hype for others.
Ken Burbary @kenburbary
Evaluate any new channel/platform through the lens of your audience. Is your audience spending time there?
Christoph Trappe @CTrappe
The whole digital channel thing is about due for a mix up, disruption, whatever (Pick your buzzword). Just because there are new channels that doesn't mean old channels disappear or are totally irrelevant.
R2integrated @R2integrated
Consumer adoption is key – VR & AR have failed to ignite the general population, where chatbots have already succeeded.
Venture @VentureComms
Most important, where is your audience? No point in using a new platform if your key demo isn't on there
Manzar Mashhood @Manzar360
Research and Results matter. Don't buy the hype, always test and leverage market research to determine results.
Joel Renner @JoelRRenner
Revolutionary and hype look the same. The only difference is longevity
David Chang @davidsejinchang
Tech takes time and iteration to mature. It will suck before it becomes revolutionary.
Christopher Thames @ChrisThames29
You need to do your research on the internal/external stakeholders & backers. RESEARCH!
