Contextual Online Marketing Explained

Certainly you remember from my previous messages that high-performing marketing organisations create exceptional user experiences. Let me explain to you where online advertising fits into this and more specifically google search ads. The google search ads experience helps people to accomplish their task at hand or achieve the value they seek in the moment. 

This brand experience is called “Available”  in the context framwork by Mathew Sweezey. It’s the opposite of a forced brand experience where you push your message to the largest audience possible and see what sticks.
The ultimate brand experience you are seeking is when people find you on their own. 

Let me recap for you; You can think of forced experiences as magazine ads, billboards, TV or even online banner ads. Direct experiences range from emails to social media engagements and google search ads. The apex of organic experience are found by the people on their own time.

As always I hope this was useful for you and please feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts with me.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Cheers people.

Context Marketing: How Google Failed

Do you still remember when Google ads, formerly called  Adwords, showed their ads on the right-hand side of your search results in  2016?

And do you know that these Google ads failed to drive any action by over 98 percent of the time? How is this possible despite Google ads being the perfect message at the right time to the right person?


Clearly Google had to rethink the way of doing things and had to come up with new ideas of what marketing is.


The question for you or your enterprise is where do you need to be to drive consumer actions?


Rethink your marketing campaigns may that be PR, Out of home advertising, social media or digital. Don’t continue to rely on what used to work and start understanding one very important change.

The consumers don’t listen to the advertisement anymore. Over 600 million people today use ad-blocking software.


Mathew Sweezey’s research in his book called The Context Marketing Revolution explains key traits of high -performing marketing organizations. Everything those companies did from their metrics, tactics, roles and business goals, traced back to the consumer experiences they created.
And by the way, today you see the Google ads on the top or at the bottom of your search results page.


Hopefully, this video is valuable for you and as always don’t be shy and reach out to me to discuss your marketing challenges.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.
