DIGITAL MARKETING FOCUS QUADRANT2013 COMPARED TO 2011

Page 23: SURVEY: The digital marketing landscape in Belgium - The Reference

Digital marketing focus quadrant

23

NICHE

These are areas that are quite unexplored by Belgian companies: there

is a low uptake and investments don’t seem to increase significantly in the near

future.

RUNNER-UPS

Few companies are currently adopting these digital marketing techniques, but

many companies see potential in them in the near future. If companies keep

investing in them and they turn out to deliver added value / ROI, these

initiatives might evolve into certainties.

CERTAINTIES

These are digital marketing initiatives which have been adopted by most

Belgian companies. Moreover, most companies are planning to invest more into these areas, meaning these actions

will remain the foundations for their digital marketing plans.

MATURE

These are digital marketing actions which are used quite common among Belgian

companies. Companies will keep investing into these areas, but allocated

budgets won’t increase that much anymore.
