As the title suggests, this isn’t your typical blog post from me. No, it’s a brief introduction to my short update thriller, 2024.
Many people ask me how I deal with all the constant updates in digital marketing. Well, I face them with a good dose of humour and try to maintain inner calm. We can’t stop updates from happening – and yes, not everything runs smoothly right after each one. But what we can do is learn to understand what matters, improve our strategies, and get better at optimising.
Someone once told me that being a digital marketing manager is like being a detective. You need to figure out why things aren’t working the way they should and anticipate what’s coming next to avoid low sales and conversions.
2024 wasn’t just any year. The updates across all channels showed how the digital world is being reformatted. Along the way, plenty went wrong, and it was nothing short of an exciting ride.
This slim little book takes you through the chaos of 2024, shows how a detective team tackled the challenges, and offers a few tips on how you can respond. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! 😊
