    • E2: Digital Marketing Careers - Transition, Progression, Rural vs Urban

      This episode is also available in video.

      In Episode 2 of the DigiIndia Squad video series, Monica turns the tables on Manasi, digging into her career path. Some great tips are shared in the conversation, the perception of digital marketing, what it means to be a digital marketer, the gaps in the digital marketing education, what students of digital marketing should think about, and more.

      Some of the questions discussed include:

      1) Manasi moved from a career in journalism & media relations to digital marketing and communications. What was the trigger? What pros and cons did you experience, technical and professional, in the transition?

      2) How does your journalism background help you become a better communicator and marketer?

      3) You spend a fair amount of time training students on marketing and communication. What are the students prepared or not prepared for academically that they need to ramp up on quickly to enter the industry?

      4) What is the interest in learning digital marketing in rural areas? In your experience, what are the challenges and opportunities here?

    • E3: How to get ideas for content creation?

      This episode is available in video.

      In Episode 3 of the DigiIndia Squad video series, Manasi and I do a deep dive into how marketers, content creators, business persons, and solopreneurs and come up with content ideas that resonate with their target audience.

      We cover the topic from four angles:

      1. Internal sources
      2. Customer-facing platforms and personnel
      3. Environment (competition and eco-system)
      4. Industry
      5. This is a little longer than the time we usually target but we felt it was important to get all these ideas out there for you to get started with whatever you have in hand. Using these ideas, you’ll have enough ideas to keep your content marketing calendar full for months ahead!

      6. E4: Brands that get content right

        This episode has video content.

        In the last episode, Manasi and I talked about content ideas - how to generate them and get your content calendar going. In this video, we look at some brands whose content has grabbed our attention.  While my starting point for this exercise is a search engine, Manasi chooses social media.  

        The recording got a little messed up so a placeholder image has been used where Manasi is talking. Close your eyes and just listen (:-)), the discussion should add value.

            • E21: Quick Digital Marketing Overview - Part 1

              In this episode, Manasi and Monica take ten steps back to talk to give a quick overview of digital marketing. 

              Digital Marketing is far from new. And there’s loads of information on it on the world wide web. Even so, in our work with small businesses and nonprofits, we’re often asked to explain “digital marketing.” What does it mean? What does it involve? What are the different channels available to us?

              Well, in this episode, we thought to share a simple explanation for leaders of nonprofits and SMBs to understand what the digital marketing channels are.

              In the first part of this topic, we cover:

              • Why a website (covered in detail in E11: Essential components of a website for small biz)
              • Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) (refers to E9: How Voice Search is Changing Digital Marketing and E8: The Rise of Vernacular Content in India)
              • Social Media Marketing
              • Content Marketing
              • Online Reputation Management (ORM)
              • Affiliate Marketing
              • We'll continue with the other channels in the next episode.

              • E8: The Rise of Vernacular Content in India – A Trend to Ride On

                In Episode 8, we talk about how vernacular content is becoming a huge deal in the internet space in India and why marketers and business owners must find ways to ride this trend. (YouTube link: https://youtu.be/8c4QpwcVfmY)

                We talk about how this change has come about, what initiatives (in both technology and business) have supported this trend till now, what the future holds for vernacular support and local businesses as well as the challenges of offering multiple language support in the complex and multifarious diversity of India.

                There is a huge jump in the consumption of audio and video content, in vernacular, largely driven by smaller towns and cities. “Literary agnostic” content is the way to break the language barrier that has existed for non-English speaking users of India.

                There are references to many reports and articles in this discussion, some of which are linked in this blog post.
