LG to stress digital marketing









____________________________________________________________________________________________

Throughout this year, we have been very successful in using digital marketing to drive our marketing campaigns. Our brand awareness has increased by 5-10 per cent. We will continue this way and will increase budgets,” Thunyachate Ekvetchavit, head of corporate marketing at LG Electronics (Thailand), said yesterday.

Internet users have been multiplying across devices and platforms and mobile devices, both smart phones and tablets, have also been rapidly growing, while consumer behaviour is shifting towards spending more time online and interacting with social networks in cyberspace, he said.

LG Electronics launched its first digital marketing campaign last year and rolled out 10 more throughout this year.

Digital marketing is playing a more important role in going to the masses. By 2012, LG Electronics Thailand wants to become the top brand in the consumer-electronics market and also at least among the top three all across its business units, including home entertainment, home appliances, air-conditioners, mobile phones and business solutions.

“Our main digital marketing is an ‘integrated’ marketing strategy blending offline and online campaigns, depending on the kind of campaign and the target group,” Thunyachate said.

In 2012, the company plans to set its digital-marketing budget at 15 per cent of its above-the-line marketing budget, up from 10 per cent next year and 8 per cent this year.

“We see it as in the transition period of marketing, so we need to integrate online and offline marketing and balance the mass and niche target groups of marketing campaigns carefully,” he said.

This year, LG’s strategy has been recognised with industry accolades both globally and in Thailand, including a Silver PR Lion award at Cannes, France, for the “Lollipop love Story” campaign, silver in the Campaign Technology & Telecom category at the Digital Marketing Awards, and seven accolades at Thailand’s Adman Awards.

    Tron had a fantastic, inventive on-line marketing campaign. The fanboys ate the ARG up. They clearly know what they’re doing over there. Unfortunately, it’s hard to overcome a meh film.

    Most of them are small, inefficient, and not practical. Also electricical use is high..

    This is one of the best Viral Marketing campaigns I’ve seen. Smells like a setup to me by a very creative viral marketing firm.

    Dear Sherman, I hope you told Niklas Zennström about Holaba:) We might indeed need an investor who “understands the market environment in each region – the regulations, consumer behaviour …”

    it would be happening much more often that is for sure and they would still be making non union wages and dieing at 30

    If you’re a Yank, the [Census includes all sorts of awesome data on consumer behaviour/spending. Canada has [Statistics but the US one is much easier to get around in.

    The fecking gollywogs in the government will continue raping the country and siphoning off money at a steady rate until the entire country is in a state of total penury.

    I remember my first hot spell in Boston and asking someone, “where are the air conditioners?” “We don’t have any”. “What? Why not?” “It gets cold in the winter” “….”
