How to Make a Free Website in 5 Minutes with Google Sites

How to Make a Free Website in 5 Minutes with Google Sites | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Building a new website seems like an impossibly hard task, something that'd take a few hours at best and a few weeks or months at worst. You'd never make a new website just to share a couple reports or write about a project you're working on.

You could, however. With the newly redesigned Google Sites—one of Google's best yet least known apps—you can build a full website for free in minutes. Here's how.

 

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Good to know that there is less and less friction to be online and in the cloud for teams and businesses. Moreover, I like using zapier to connect my different cloud solutions and performs simple tasks. For example, I use it to archive into a spreadsheet every tweet I post: useful when you want to quickly refer to it!

Free Gartner Research: Digital Marketing Transit Map

Free Gartner Research: Digital Marketing Transit Map | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
Using the Map

The Digital Marketing Transit Map is designed to identify the best sources for your needs and acquire systems that work well together. It will help you:

  • Identify the connections among business functions, application tracks and providers.
  • Find additional research or structure questions about strategy and best practices as well as providers, products, and selection criteria.
  • Mediate discussions between marketing and IT.
Interpreting the Map

Navigate the complexity of a fragmented and confusing digital marketing landscape. Elements of the map include:

  • Neighborhoods represent functional regions that can be thought of as practice areas within an organization.
  • Tracks connect regions and can be thought of as application services that share common objectives and information.
  • Stations represent interaction points that can be thought of as vendor and product categories that provide platforms and point solutions.
  • Intersections represent transfer points where solutions may serve more than one business area.

 

Farid Mheir's insight:

Gartner has mapped the different skills, technologies and functional areas that digital marketers should master.

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Although I've never been a fan of the transit map analogy, I find this one captures one key message for marketing professionals: digital marketing is different than traditional marketing in the tools, technologies and skills required. As the diagram shows, they are more akin to software programming than they are of the traditional marketing curriculum. For those  that do not yet have those skills in-house, get help. For those that have the skills, make sure they are sharp and remain up-to-date because this technology world changes rapidly.

What’s in a Content Marketing Stack? [WCM, DAM, CMP, etc] via @Gartner

What’s in a Content Marketing Stack? [WCM, DAM, CMP, etc] via @Gartner | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
Marketers who have started to do content marketing typically find themselves doing topic research via myriad analytics tools, managing editorial calendars in excel, handling workflow with writers and creative via email, publishing content via separate blogs and websites and promoting it with existing, but usually disconnected marketing automation and social media tools (that’s if they aren’t doing any paid promotion). At scale, this breaks down.

Enter the Content Marketing Platform (CMP) where players like Newscred, Skyword, Kapost, Curata, Percolate (whose ambitions seem to reach beyond content marketing) and more have built tools to help marketers get a handle on the creation process. But most have stayed away from competing with either the Web Content Management (WCM) or the DAM players which are made up of a group of established names.  The most common content marketing tech stacks observed in enterprise clients (clients see Content Marketing Point Solutions Bring Agility to Web Content Management Workflows) is a combination of either:

CMP + WCM + Marketing Hub/Marketing Automation + Content Marketing Point Tools
CMP + WordPress (in addition to branded website) + Marketing Hub/Marketing Automation + Content Marketing Point Tools

Farid Mheir's insight:

A great blog post that sheds light into the murky waters of marketing tools and solutions to manage content. Specifically, it speaks of web content management (WCM), digital asset management (DAM) and contentn marketing point (CMP) tools, amongst others.

Farid Mheir's insight:

Crossing the Chasm (Amazon) is a classic book from the 1990s (wikipedia) that introduced the concept of a product lifecycle to the masses. It helped explain to many startups why their products were hits early on but failed miserably as they never gained a large audience. Must read book.


Chiefmartec uses the lifecycle to explain the current market of marketing technology products.

Adobe's marketing cloud goes real-time, adds app store, boosts search ads 25% - VentureBeat, ChiefMarTec | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Intermediate/ Digest...


Tomorrow Adobe is announcing new features that will enable marketers to react immediately to customer or prospect actions, an app store to make integrating with hundreds of new marketing technologies simple and fast, and more, including a new Media Optimizer that, it says, improves search ad effectiveness by 25 percent.

 

Adobe is also adding an app-store like exchange as a new core service to its marketing cloud, which it just significantly updated in March. The Exchange had been in beta and is now generally available as a core service across all marketing cloud components.

 

Media Optimizer consists of predictive modeling algorithms that use big data to predict campaign performance, campaign analysis via Adobe Analytics, remarketing capability, the new real-time campaign management features, and a new retail advertising optimization tool.

 

From ChiefMarTec:

They’re launching with more than 150 apps in their exchange, which has apparently already been leveraged by more than 1,200 major brand customers worldwide in an extensive beta program.

 

This is not a we do everything you would ever want in digital marketing position. This is a position that acknowledges that third-party innovation is a critical part of digital marketing — that a 1,000 innovators of marketing technology can be an incredible source of strength. This is a we can be the foundation of everything you would ever want in digital marketing position.

Just as it is with Marketo: will the onboard process for ISVs be simplified vs. the AppExchange.

Adobe Marketing Cloud Exchange, a core service in Adobe Marketing Cloud, is a new marketplace for pre-built integrations and apps between Adobe solutions and third-party technologies like Google DDM, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Tableau.
