As we all know, consumers' appetite for digital content, products and services is insatiable. This, of course, is very good news for digital marketing agencies. Digital, in fact, has become a critical medium for all of the so-called 'traditional' disciplines, such as PR, research, advertising, experiential marketing and in-store activity.
Growth figures for the medium are impressive, particularly in light of the recent recession. According to the Internet Advertising Bureau, online advertising now accounts for nearly a quarter of total UK adspend - a record market share - with brands investing almost £2bn in the web between January and June this year. This equates to a 10% increase on the same period in 2009.
The recession, however, has clearly left its mark on agencies, with only a handful reporting increases in turnover between 2009 and 2010. Tangent One, glue Isobar and BlueHalo/GyroHSR reported growth of 28%, 21% and 20% respectively, but many other agencies - including AKQA and Digital Marketing Group - reported a drop in turnover. The tough conditions facing the sector were illustrated by the collapse of i-level and DGM UK earlier this year.
It is clear that digital agencies are having to work harder than ever to develop the integrated strategies and campaigns that marketers are demanding. Enda McCarthy, chief executive of Publicis Modem, which has won new business from Sky News, Bupa, Beefeater Gin and Orange, believes that digital agencies are taking a much more strategic approach to their briefs, which no longer call for digital work per se, but require a deeper appreciation of the client's business objectives and return on investment. 'As agencies' desires - if not necessarily their skills - converge, digital knowledge applied strategically, creatively and with respect to ROI from the start has never been more important,' he says.
As digital shops continue to widen their offering, traditional ad agencies are responding by bolstering their digital capabilities, either through acquisition or by organic growth. AQKA is reportedly in talks with Japanese group Dentsu, one of the ad world's biggest holding companies, about a prospective £600m sale. Cossette, meanwhile, the parent company of Dare and MCBD, is looking to merge the two agencies under the former's brand name as it seeks to integrate its UK businesses.
According to Matt Barnett, head of digital and direct at Haygarth, which has worked on digital campaigns for Gillette and Heinz, above-the-line agencies are threatened by the use of technology - such as augmented reality, digital editing and digital production - which is reducing the cost of campaigns.
Push for integration
Wayne Brown, deputy managing director of glue Isobar, claims the land-grab for digital budget, talent and strategic leadership has resumed as the industry has emerged from the recession, and digital agencies are finding different ways of addressing this shifting landscape.
'Many of the big design-and-build agencies have looked to add communications expertise to widen their offering and move upstream to foster broader client relationships. The holding groups are seeing an opportunity to build global digital network offerings to give their digital businesses genuine scale,' he says.
Brown adds that glue Isobar, which has worked on campaigns for Toyota, Google and the 6 Nations rugby tournament this year, is looking to develop a more integrated offering that appeals to brands who want to work with one agency that has genuine digital expertise stemming from a long history of specialism.
Earlier this year, VCCP took over O2's digital account from the longstanding incumbent Agency Republic. Peter Grenfell, digital managing director at VCCP, says the win is reflective of wider industry trends and demand from brands. He agrees with Brown that brands want to work with a single integrated agency that can create campaigns and deliver them effectively across all channels, from online direct response banners to 60-second TV spots.
It is a view shared by Paul Troy, head of sponsorship and advertising at Barclaycard, which devotes the majority of its marketing activity to digital. In the future, says Troy, brands will need an agency with a strong intrinsic digital culture that is capable of developing ideas that create real consumer engagement.
'That may come from either current suppliers - be they above-the-line agencies or digital shops evolving their offering - or from a new wave of agencies. In the short term, existing players will evolve, but in the long term, new agencies born with a digital culture will emerge and be a new force attracting clients to their offering,' he adds.
Jude Brooks, digital marketing director at Coca-Cola, says integration is being prompted by the fact that even the more traditional agencies have woken up to the power of digital and are starting to really appreciate the opportunities it brings. 'Television used to sit at the heart of a campaign and then be amplified by digital, but now digital plays a pivotal role in campaign evolution,' adds Brooks.
Other areas of growth within the digital marketing industry include social media and mobile, with practitioners looking at ways of improving performance from these channels. Brands are testing advanced targeting techniques and emerging formats such as video and mobile as well as looking to build business models around social media.
Ross Taylor, chief digital officer at TMW, which works with Nissan Infiniti and Unilever, believes that social media is no longer purely a consideration but now plays an integral role in the development of campaign strategies.
'Social media has now firmly established its place as a critical channel to drive awareness, relationships and even sales,' he explains.
Ian MacDonald, e-marketing manager at Autotrader, says mobile has finally emerged as a viable digital marketing platform, while social media's rise has given the brand the opportunity to reach audiences in new and engaging ways.
Digital benefits
The speed of developments in digital also means that marketers are looking for greater efficiency from the channel.
Pete Markey, marketing director at insurer More Th>n, says: 'We have brought all digital creative work in-house and (hired) specialists to achieve this, while digital strategy remains with our above-the-line agency. We have web designers and copywriters and usability specialists, which has not only driven cost benefits but also huge time-saving efficiencies.'
In light of the push for integration and a greater emphasis on cost and time efficiencies, there could be a case for arguing that brands will soon favour the use of one agency for all their marketing needs. Results International's latest Digital Valuation Survey, released last month, looked at future merger and acquisition activity among digital agencies. More than half of those surveyed said integration was more important than specialisation, reflecting client demand for full-service suppliers. Meanwhile, 60% said more than half of their revenues were derived from digital activity, with 45% saying 90% of their revenues came from this source.
According to Coca-Cola's Brooks, there is no easy answer to the integrated versus specialist agency debate.
'If a single agency is capable of delivering a great service across a multitude of marketing channels, then there would be many benefits, not least a far deeper understanding of the brand and its needs, but also less account management, leading to cost savings,' says Brooks.
She adds: 'In my experience with digital, it's hard to find an agency that is adept at absolutely everything within the digital spectrum, especially as technology and opportunities evolve so rapidly, so it just makes sense to use bespoke agencies for specific skills.'
Glue Isobar's Brown says that while some brands have sought to consolidate accounts into a single traditional agency, others are turning to digital specialists. 'Marketers realise that the deep and progressive digital thinking and execution they desire is best done unencumbered by those agencies delivering their TV, poster and press ads,' he argues. 'Making a great TV ad takes time and can quickly become the centre of gravity for any brand and agency team.
So it's no wonder that even the very best traditional agencies find it hard to combine this with creating rigorous and comprehensive digital strategies and execution.'
Toby Horry, joint managing director at Dare, which has worked with Sony Ericsson, says much of the debate around the relative merits of using specialist or integrated agencies comes down to the nature of the client. 'An online retailer with complex back-end IT is more likely to require a specialist digital agency to help run that aspect of the business,' he adds.
Horry believes that standalone digital agencies are hardly endangered, but in the future they will tend to be producers and executors of campaigns in specific digital fields, such as augmented reality, rather than contributors to the client's broader marketing strategy.
The jury is still out on the best business model for the industry. For the moment, as more agencies vie for a share of digital work, the challenge for digital agencies is to go beyond their traditional communications role and find ways to engage with customers through new products, services, apps, mobile phones and social media, while continuing to prove the channel's effectiveness.
