The diploma thesis "Digital Marketing Strategies - Combination of Digital Media Channels" examines how the three telecom operators dominating the Czech market - T-Mobile Czech Republic, O2 Czech Republic and Vodafone Czech Republic - use the digital media channels within the communication with the customers. More specifically, it identifies and describes which channels do the companies involve into their marketing communication, how do they use them and why they have integrated them into the communication strategy. It also examines how the companies interconnect these digital media channels and how the channels can be combined to form an effective digital media strategy. By using the method of case study the companies ' digital marketing activities were examined. It was found that each company uses for its marketing communication the similar set of digital media channels, but the usage is different across the companies studied. Based on these findings I have identified three specific strategies - Diversified Content Strategy, Interactive Channel Strategy and Standardized Content Strategy. Each of the strategies has its advantages and disadvantages, which have been described and the strategies were compared. The findings also indicate that it is better to study the digital media channels as a whole,...

Web 2.0的時代來臨，「人」成為網路世界的主角，網際網路世界的雙向人際互動受到重視，近年來，越來越多社群網站出現在我們的生活當中，成為現代人溝通連絡的主要管道之一，其中又以2004年創立的Facebook使用率最高，目前已累積約8億的使用者，成為會員數成長最快的社群網站。由於大量的用戶及快速的消息傳播速度，企業開始透過在Facebook設立粉絲專頁來行銷宣傳，與顧客建立關係，而博物館雖屬非營利組織，但為了與日漸多樣化的休閒機構競爭，行銷成為經營重點，因此亦紛紛跟隨潮流架設起專屬的Facebook粉絲專頁，希望能藉此進行網路社群媒體行銷。 本研究藉由個案研究法，線上觀察世界四大博物館─紐約大都會藝術博物館、羅浮宮博物館、大英博物館、國立故宮博物院的Facebook粉絲專頁經營模式，分析比較各個博物館的粉絲專頁內容，評估其是否符合過去文獻所整理的Facebook成功經營要素，並採用粉絲數及談論率做為衡量指標評估營運績效。研究結果發現各博物館發文內容多與博物館展覽和館藏文物相關，且喜歡採用文字搭配圖片方式發文；以營運績效而言，紐約大都會藝術博物館Facebook粉絲數量最多，但國立故宮博物院粉絲專頁的討論率最高，與粉絲互動較佳；同時，本研究亦發現四大博物館目前Facebook粉絲專頁的粉絲雖持續增加中，不過談論率相當低，顯示在經營績效並不佳，仍有許多改善空間，因此提出實務建議以供未來博物館營運Facebook粉絲專頁時參考。 / In the era of Web 2.0, the interaction among people in the Internet world becomes important. In recent years, there are more social network websites emerging in our life. This trend gradually changes our ways of communication. Among these social network sites, Facebook, with approximately 800 billion users now, grows the fast and is the most popular websites. Because of the large number of Facebook’s users and its quick speed of spreading information, many corporations have set up their own fan pages to do marketing and build relationship with customers. Non-profit organizations are no exception. Museums, in order to compete with the other recreational facilities, also establish fan pages on Facebook to promote themselves. This study chooses four world famous museums--Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, British Museum, Musée du Louvre, and National Palace Museum to do case study. By observing and analyzing the contents of each museum’s fan page, and evaluating its performance through the number of fans and the ratio of “people talking about this,” the study assesses whether these four museums’ operation of Facebook is successful or not. The result shows the main contents of these museums’ Facebook fan pages are about exhibitions and most of information is released with words and pictures. As for the operation performance, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has the most fans, but National Palace Museum has the highest ratio of people talking about this, which means it has better interaction with fans. However, according to the result, the performance of Facebook of every museum is not satisfactory and there are lots of spaces to improve. Therefore, researcher gives some practical advice in the end of the study as future operational reference.

Social media users create spaces where they express their opinions about products, brands or companies. This is important for marketers because these users are active and effective. The changes caused by Internet and social media demand a new approach to marketing practices and force companies to be active by incorporating social media to their communication strategies. / Los usuarios de redes sociales generan espacios en los que reflejar sus opiniones, que pueden referirse a productos, marcas o empresas. Esto es importante para la gestión de marketing, porque estos usuarios son activos y efectivos. Los cambios producidos por Internet y los medios sociales exigen un replanteamiento de las prácticas de marketing y obligan a las empresas a ser activas incorporando a sus estrategias de comunicación los social media. / Os usuários das redes sociais criam espaços que refletem suas opiniões e que podem estar relacionadas a produtos, marcas ou empresas. Isso é importante para a gestão de marketing porque eles são usuários ativos e efetivos. As mudanças trazidas pela Internet e mídias sociais exigem uma nova orientação das práticas de marketing e isto forçaas empresas a ser ativas, incorporando estratégias de comunicação nas mídias sociais.

Integrated marketing communication (IMC) is a concept which has been explored in commercial contexts by numerous studies. Numerous scholars in the literature highlight the benefits of adopting an IMC approach which creates message consistency, amongst others. However, there is still limited literature on the adoption and use of IMC in the context of non-profit organisations involved in social marketing campaigns to support their behavioural change messages. Insight into the adoption and use of an IMC approach could be useful to non-profit organisations involved in social marketing as it could increase the success of behavioural change messages. This study aims to explore the use of IMC by one non-profit organisation within a social marketing context. By doing so the study proposes and refines IMC criteria for social marketing to support behavioural change messages and thus contributes to the existing body of knowledge on using IMC in social marketing. The study uses a single case study approach which includes using three data collection methods to collect data from the South Africa National Blood Service (SANBS) to evaluate its social marketing campaigns according to proposed IMC criteria for social marketing. Based on the findings revised IMC criteria which are more tailor-made for social marketing to support behavioural change messages are proposed. It became evident that non-profit organisations need to be sensitive to the complexities of communicating messages aimed at behavioural change. A proper understanding and application of more tailor-made IMC criteria for social marketing can thus benefit non-profit organisations to effectively communicate behavioural change messages through their social marketing campaigns / Communication Science / MA (Communication Science)

The development of non-traditional communication channels in recent years has progressively created a world more digital, networked and interlaced by a myriad of communication tools than ever before. With Facebook being the most prevalent social network, this study aims to guide local organisations to use Facebook optimally to communicate with their customers. The study strives to incorporate the latest ideas about social media marketing in the relevant literature with the opinions of local social media marketing experts. The generally ineffective use of Facebook as a communication channel by small, inexperienced organisations is seen as a justification for identifying a set of criteria to guide organisations in using Facebook pages as a driver of communication. The empirical phase of the research produced a list of seven guidelines on the optimal use of Facebook pages for marketing purposes, which might assist South African companies in developing their marketing strategies. / Business Management / M.

However, there is limited research specifically on social media marketing adoption by companies. Furthermore, there is little consensus about the adoption factors and a lack of standardization in the terminology used in the academic articles. This thesis further the knowledge in social media adoption at the company level, by (i) identifying variables that can influence social media adoption by companies and determining how these variables influence adoption; (ii) proposing and empirically testing a theoretical model of social media adoption, under the light of TAM, UTAUT, and Institutional Theory. This thesis was conducted in two phases, which derived two articles. The first phase was primarily composed by analysis of the semi-structured interviews with senior marketing executives of large companies of different economic sectors. The second phase further developed the theoretical model and quantitatively tested it, based on the results of surveys sent to marketing professionals. The results of the second phase show that Isomorphic pressures (eg: coercive and mimetic pressures), social influence and facilitating conditions were the key factors driving social media adoption. / A adoção em massa das mídias sociais pelos indivíduos aumentou o poder dos consumidores, o que pressionou as empresas a adotarem e gerenciarem sua comunicação nas mídias sociais. Todavia, há poucas pesquisas sobre a adoção do marketing nas mídias sociais por empresas. Além disso, existe pouco consenso sobre os fatores que levam a adoção e uma ausência da terminologia empregada nos artigos acadêmicos. Essa tese amplia o conhecimento da adoção de mídias sociais pelas empresas ao: (i) identificar as variáveis que podem influenciar na adoção das mídias sociais e determinar como essas variáveis influenciam a adoção; (ii) propor e testar um modelo teórico de adoção de mídias sociais sob o primsma de TAM, UTAUT, e Teoria Institucional. Essa tese foi desenvolvida em duas fases, gerando dois artigos. A primeira fase foi composta basicamente pela análise de entrevistas semiestruturadas com executivos sêniors de marketing de diferentes setores da economia. A segunda fase, continuou o desenvolvimento do modelo teórico e quantitativamente testou o mesmo, baseado nos resultados dos questionários enviados para profissionais de marketing. Os resultados da segunda fase indicam que as pressões isomórficas (mimetica e coercitiva), influência social e condições facilitadoras são os principais fatores na adoção do marketing nas mídias sociais.

Die externe Unternehmenskommunikation über das Medium Corporate Blog stellt einen relevanten, aber zu Teilen noch recht unerforschten Bereich der Social Media Kommunikation dar. Um eine gelingende Unternehmenskommunikation über Corporate Blogs zu fördern und eine Reflexionsbasis für die Kommunikationsverantwortlichen bereitzustellen, wird in der Arbeit die Forschungsfrage gestellt: „Wie gestaltet sich der Managementprozess externer Unternehmenskommunikation über Corporate Blogs, aus der Sicht der beteiligten Unternehmensakteure?“. Das Forschungsziel liegt in einer qualitativen, facettenreichen Rekonstruktion des Managementprozesses, aus Sicht der beteiligten Unternehmensakteure. Die Beschreibung der sozialen Praxis soll es ermöglichen, den Prozess in seiner Funktionsweise und seinen interdependenten Beziehungen zwischen Struktur und Handlung zu verstehen. Im Rahmen von 22 Fallstudien konnte der Prozess rekonstruiert und durch die Ausführungen der Unternehmensakteure erklärt werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Prozessphasen variabel und situationsspezifisch ablaufen und gestaltet werden müssen. Insbesondere die Gestaltung der Faktoren Aufmerksamkeit, Veröffentlichungsintervall und die Kommunikationskultur des Unternehmens sind elementar, um den Prozess zum Gelingen zu führen.

I takt med en tilltagande användning av internet och teknologiska enheter har tillgången till användargenererad data om individer ökat. Denna personliga data kan, genom fenomen som Big Data, vidare exploateras av företag som grund för att utforma och anpassa marknadsföring i linje med konsumenters individuella preferensmönster. Detta utgör delar inom digital direktmarknadsföring. Emellertid existerar det en problematik med specifikt utformad direktmarknadsföring i digital miljö. Konsumenter som mottager denna typ av marknadsföring har en tendens till att uppleva att företagen kommer för nära inpå privatlivet. Tidigare studier visar att företag kan få tillgång till för känslig information om konsumenter och deras aktiviteter i vardagen. I många fall sker detta utan att konsumenten är medveten om hur denna information har erhållits och en konsekvens av detta är att den personliga integriteten kan bli föremål för intrång. Uppsatsens syfte tar grund i en strävan efter att undersöka hur konsumenter uppfattar den personliga integriteten vid exponering mot individuellt riktad digital marknadsföring. Mer specifikt utforskas det eventuella sambandet mellan personlig integritet och digital direktmarknadsföring. Den teoretiska referensramen behandlar teorier och begrepp som är relevanta för få en övergripande förståelse kring ämnet. Under avsnittet presenteras bland annat Westins teori om den personliga integriteten och dess olika tillstånd. Därtill behandlas även beskrivningar av begrepp såsom digital direktmarknadsföring, Big data, Surveillance Capitalism och dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR). Här beaktas variablerna känslighet på direktmarknadsföring, omfattning av direktmarknadsföring, ålder, utbildningsnivå, kön samt kontrollvariabelninternetanvändning. Utifrån dessa variabler samt tidigare forskning har fem hypoteser formulerats. Den empiriska undersökningen baserades på en tvärsnittsstudie av deduktiv karaktär där det genomfördes en digital enkätundersökning. Totalt deltog 203 respondenter i denna studie. Enkäten innefattade frågor som baserades på uppsatsens variabler. För att se om det går att finna stöd eller inte för dessa hypoteser används en multivariat regressionsanalys. Undersökningens resultat visar att uppfattningen av den personliga integriteten påverkas av direktmarknadsföring. Det kan utläsas att både känsligheten och omfattningen på direktmarknadsföringen har en jämnstark och statistiskt signifikant effekt på uppfattningen av den personliga integriteten. Därtill indikeras det även att ålder är en variabel som har en effekt på hur den personliga integriteten påverkas, där äldre individer tenderar att vara mer oroade över den personliga integriteten än vad yngre individer är. Utifrån denna undersökning går det vidare att uttyda att det föreligger tendenser till intrång på den personliga integriteten i den digitala miljön vid exponering mot digital direktmarknadsföring. / Given the increased availability of internet and technological devices, the access to user-generated data has increased. This personal data is made accessible to companies and through phenomena such as Big Data it can be exploited and adapted to lay the foundation for marketing aimed directly at individual consumers. This is also known as direct marketing. However, it seems as if there exists a tendency for digital direct marketing to result in companies entering the individual’s personal space and as a consequence – the personal integrity is jeopardized. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the way consumers on the Swedish retail market perceive the personal integrity when being exposed to digital direct marketing. The study is of cross-sectional deductive character and it investigates the possible relationship between personal integrity and digital direct marketing. This is done through a digital survey with questions based on five hypotheses which in turn reflect the following variables that have been defined; Sensibility to direct marketing,Extent of direct marketing, Age, Level of education, and Gender. In addition to this, the control variable Internet-usage is added. The hypotheses are then tested in a multiple regression analysis. From the discussion and conclusion of this thesis the results show that consumers experience that the personal integrity is affected by digital direct marketing. The findings indicate further that both sensibility to direct marketing, the extent of direct marking, and age have a statistically significant effect on the individual’s perception of the personal integrity in this context. Given the result from the survey, the regression analysis and its application on the hypotheses, this study finds implications for violation of the consumer’s personal integrity.

Nowadays the market is becoming increasingly competitive. Consumers have a wide variety of choices and make their decisions based on the recommendations of other peers, which they consider more trustable compared to traditional advertisements. In such a scenario customer engagement is becoming the most important challenge for businesses. In fact engaged customers are not only loyal, but also active recommenders of the product/service to other peers. Social media, thanks to their interactive features, allow building relationships with customers and therefore they have a key role for customer engagement.   The paper analyzes how companies can use social media in order to build a customer engagement strategy. The project begins with an overview of the literature available about two main topics: customer engagement and social media.  In the later analysis, the author demystifies social media for business by analyzing what are the main functionalities that they provide and how these functionalities can be used in order to create a social media engagement strategy. A new model is presented: “The Social Media Engagement Cycle” that highlights how engagement on social media helps driving repeat sales and getting new customers through the existing ones. The author addresses the organizational and cultural implications of the model to highlight which are the changes that companies should address in order to implement a successful social media strategy. Finally the author discusses a case study from the telecommunication industry, and drives general conclusions about how the engagement on social media has a pervasive importance across industries.
