What is scaling digital about?

I own a small agency.

Page 3: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

“But Rhea,you

scaled a human!”

Page 4: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

What I enjoy most about my job is building people

up.

Page 5: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Don’t take my word for it…

“Rhea has been one of the most influential people in my professional career. I've learned more from Rhea than I have from any other supervisor/colleague in all the fields I've worked in and all in a short period of time.”

“She's a great teacher, and I will owe much of any success I acheive to the time I got to spend

with Rhea as my supervisor.”

“I learned more from her in one month than I did in an entire year at (redacted).”

So, let’s talk about how you scale digital

marketers!

Page 7: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

First, how did we get here?

Page 8: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Most of us didn’t get a DIGITAL MARKETINGdegree at…

Page 9: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

We didn’t have a badass mentor.

Page 10: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

We didn’t inherit

the family

Page 15: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Page 16: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 17: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 18: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Until recent years there was no degree in digital

marketing

Page 19: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Internet Marketing MS

eCommerce MS

e-Business MS

New Media Institute Certification

Page 20: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Why are there so few programs dedicated to

digital marketing?

Page 21: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Marketing courses are like history class where we never made it past WWII

Page 22: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Traditional academia cannot develop

curriculum fast enough to include the rapidly

changing environment of digital technology

Page 23: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

First use of “SEO” circa 1997

Google founded Sept 4, 1998

Page 24: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

The Internet literally moves at the speed of light

Page 25: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 26: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Less diversity, but greater complexity in

search

Page 27: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 28: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 30: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Even then, Google itself is outdated and missing

in-depth articles

Page 31: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Search is more complex than the…

Page 32: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 33: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 34: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

We cannot rely on traditional education to

train our future workforce

Page 35: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

But we’re already struggling to find the talent that industry growth demands!

Page 36: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Fortunately, we’re positioned better than

ever

Page 37: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Internet

Page 38: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Smart phones

Page 39: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Cloud

Page 40: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Which gives us self-directed learning opportunities like:

Page 41: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 42: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 43: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

But, most of us won’t thrive under self-directed learning

Page 44: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Because we need…

Page 45: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

…a teacher.

Page 46: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education
Page 47: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

• Most of your students learn differently than you do.

• Each of your students learns differently from your other students.

• No one teaching method will effectively reach all of your students.

• You cannot address all of your students' learning styles all of the time.

Teachers know that…

• Most of your employees learn differently than you do.

• Each of your employees learns differently from your other employees.

• No one teaching method will effectively reach all of your employees.

• You cannot address all of your employees' learning styles all of the time.

And in business…

Page 49: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Corporate education is vital for employee

retention and business growth

Page 50: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Gen Y expects continual learning, but promotion doesn’t mean education.

Page 51: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

40% of Gen Y believes they should be

promoted every two years, regardless of

performance.

Page 52: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Without education and promotion, you will

lose your team.

Page 53: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

How do we train *everyone*?

Page 54: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

This depends on your business model

Page 55: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

TEACH ALL THE THINGS!

Page 66: Scaling Digital Marketers: How to Scale Digital Marketing Education

Fortunately, most of us do this to some extent

already

Learn How to Brainstormhttp://www.mindtools.com/brainstm.html

• Find a comfortable meeting environment, and set it up ready for the session.• Appoint one person to record the ideas that come from the session. These should

be noted in a format than everyone can see and refer to. Depending on the approach you want to use, you may want to record ideas on flip charts, whiteboards, or computers with data projectors.

• Define the problem you want solved clearly, and lay out any criteria to be met. Make it clear that that the objective of the meeting is to generate as many ideas as possible.

• Give people plenty of time on their own at the start of the session to generate as many ideas as possible.

• Ask people to give their ideas, making sure that you give everyone a fair opportunity to contribute.

• Encourage people to develop other people's ideas, or to use other ideas to create new ones.

• Encourage an enthusiastic, uncritical attitude among members of the group. Try to get everyone to contribute and develop ideas, including the quietest members of the group.

• Ensure that no one criticizes or evaluates ideas during the session. Criticism introduces an element of risk for group members when putting forward an idea. This stifles creativity and cripples the free running nature of a good brainstorming session.

• Let people have fun brainstorming. Encourage them to come up with as many ideas as possible, from solidly practical ones to wildly impractical ones. Welcome creativity!

• Ensure that no train of thought is followed for too long. Make sure that you generate a sufficient number of different ideas, as well as exploring individual ideas in detail.

• In a long session, take plenty of breaks so that people can continue to concentrate.
