7 Winning Digital Marketing Strategies for 2018 Medicare AEPScott Levine
Medicare Marketing for 2018 AEP is going to have a distinctly different digital flavor. That’s because this year’s Boomer audience now consumes more of their media digitally.
According to a Limelight Networks report, “Baby boomers spend more time online than millennials: 51% of baby boomers spend 15 hours per week online, while only 41% of millennials
spend the same amount of time online. And according to Pew Research, nearly 80% of Baby Boomers are Internet users.
Medicare marketers who have relied on the tried and true workhorse of direct mail to deliver their Medicare Marketing messaging, will have to evolve to and become immersed in the world of digital marketing -- ready or not. What’s more,
direct mail isn’t going away anytime soon. So the added complexity of integrating multiple channels of media with direct mail and understanding both the integration and the
attribution of these channels has caused many Medicare marketers to stop, and take notice that a new digital day has dawned in Medicare marketing.
And some are simply not ready. Many marketers experienced in direct mail and print haven’t felt the need to move into digital, since the prior generations of Medicare recipients weren’t patronizing digital channels. Now all that has
changed. And with it, so has Medicare marketing.
Let’s discuss the 7 proven winning digital marketing strategies for 2018 Medicare AEP.
An opportunity for the savvy marketer to connect early and make a deeper, more meaningful relationship with prospects – through lead nurturing.
1. Build custom buyer personas
2. Make all your marketing touchpoints personal
3. Use social marketing effectively
4. Provide the right content at the right point in the cycle
5. and much, much more!
The theme of the 2014 MarketingProfs' B2B Marketing Forum is "Marketing For What Comes Next." Lee Odden of TopRank decided to ask some of the brightest minds in marketing to make predictions about where marketing is heading. What he got ranged from realistic to ridiculous, but all were packed with insight.

How To Create A Billion $ Category: Mark Organ's Dreamforce '13 KeynoteInfluitive
Why just a build a company when you can create a whole new category instead? That’s the question that Influitive founder and CEO Mark Organ explored in his packed Founders Forum session at Dreamforce 2013.
Here’s one really good reason: category creators tend to grow revenue 4x faster and grow market cap 6x faster than those companies that enter a category later on.
Based on Mark’s experience building marketing automation category creator Eloqua, what he’s learned so far as Influitive (http://influitive.com) carves out a brand new category – advocate marketing – a little over a decade later, and his observations on why other powerful category creators, including Salesforce.com, Tesla and Keurig, have been so successful, his presentation proposes a whole new framework for category creation.

Manifesto):
• Individuals and interactions over
processes and tools
• Initial value over comprehensive
documentation
• Customer collaboration over
subjective opinion
• Responding to change over
following a plan
That is, while there is value in the
items on the right, we value the
items on the left more.

@msweezey #cnx16

more likely to strongly agree

experience across their
organization.
Marketing is no longer
a department.
It is a mindset.
@msweezey #cnx16
32. The Big Differences
A New Idea and Buy-In
High performers have a new
idea of marketing. They
believe in creating a holistic
experience, and get the buy-
in from the top to move in
this direction.
Executive buy-in gets you
the budget and the approval
to create a new idea of
marketing.
They Constantly Test
When reviewing the data it’s
clear to see high performers
are the first to adopt new
tactics, and techniques.
They have the budget to do
so and see the value in
reaching new consumers in
new ways.
Agile allows them to move at
the required speed.
Experience Is a Focus
They focus on how to use
channels and tactics to
create a cohesive
customer experience and
collaborate with other
areas of the company to
ensure all experiences are
supporting the goal.
Marketing is more than a
department.
Between high performers and everyone else
