Direct marketing is still a fantastic channel, but needs a bit of its own rebranding.
karl lagor's insight:
I dont personally think the term direct marketing needs redefinition but rather needs to be reconsidered by marketers. Instead of redefining and renaming direct marketing, maybe expanding on its traditional forms, like junk mail, to include a digital forms. Digital marketing is direct marketing when it s done well. websites, lead generating software, emailing, txing, are forms of digital marketing. reeducation within the industry is needed to boost the popularity and relevance of direct mrketing in today IMC planning.

In the article it states “it's about connecting a brand with a real human truth” which the brands have addressed by incorporating consumers emotions and creating something they can connect to. The brands have enhanced this with celebrity endorsements (Parody).
The article highlights that creating a marketing strategy which in which the same look and feel are communicated across multiple media don’t ensure success. Rather that identifying the unique aspect of a product or brand and how that can be turned into a powerful idea that engages consumers which is diverse and delivered easily amongst multiple media channels.
