Marketing
The development of digitalization and marketing is strongly visible in today’s marketing in Finland. There is a strong shift from traditional print advertising to digital marketing utilizing a broad channel network. However, the Finnish digital marketing is still behind other Nordic countries; in 2015 the Finnish digital marketing accounted for 286 million euros, whereas the amount of Swedish digital marketing accounted for 1.37 billion euros altogether, which is almost 5 times more than in Finland.
Nowadays, investments in marketing are targeted mostly at technology and data. About 80 million euros are invested annually in the development of new marketing technology, whereas investments in maintenance and use account for 130 million euros annually. With new technological services, it is now possible to acquire more detailed information about clients and consumer patterns, which in turn makes it possible to target marketing on an individual level to a greater extent. Recently, automating marketing has been highlighted as marketing is technologized, which can be used for intensifying frequent and time-consuming functions and enabling the exact timing of marketing as well as maintaining the interest of clients.
Content marketing is also emphasized in modern marketing. In a successful marketing, the client receives additional value from an interesting and entertaining content that corresponds to the client’s personality and needs. Valuable content is considered more meaningful than continuous and non-targeted marketing messages. Content may not be necessarily produced within the organization itself, but it may be outsourced to various content providers, media companies and media agencies.
