The evolution from paid to earned media 4 2. A new customer engagement model 7 3. The digitally transformed marketing organization 11 4. Open-data platforms – the next digital breakthrough? 13 Authors: Francesco Marsella Palmo Antonio Cavallo Partner, Strategy & Organization, Manager, Strategy & Organization, Rome Milan [email protected] [email protected] Andrea Visentin Clemens Schwaiger Principal, Strategy & Organization, Principal, Telecom, Information, Media & Rome Electronics, Vienna [email protected] [email protected] Acknowledgement for their support and valuable input: Aurelia Bettati, Johan Treutiger Executive summary At the dawn of internet, content publishers started generating revenues by advertising products and services of the real world on their websites. Today the advertising industry is a blend of digital and physical media, and companies need to stay on top of its fast evolution. Following the original path, but years later, marketing and sales practices are relying more and more on digital channels. However, companies do not take most of the potential opportunities, because they are still tied to conventional customer engagement models and operate through traditional organizational structures. Digital advertising investments are growing at a fast pace, with over 17 percent CAGR since 2011 and reaching 42 percent of total global ad spending. The forecasts see this shift continuing up to 50 percent in 2020, and in some markets, the share will be even larger. Here the key issue seems to be how to optimize ad spending, balancing the media mix between online and offline and earned and paid media, in order to maximize advertising effectiveness.

Die Fußstapfen, in die er trat, waren dennoch riesig, denn Michael Schumacher hatte immerhin fünf Weltmeis- tertitel für die Roten geholt, Doch die Epoche Schumi lag zehn Jah- re zurück, und außerdem galten seit Einführung der 1,6-Liter-Tur- bomotoren mit zusätzlichem Elektroantrieb völlig andere Regeln. Ferrari war bei der technischen Entwicklung ganz vorne dabei und genoss einen klaren Favoritenstatus. Mit seinem ersten Sieg im zweiten Rennen für die Scuderia schürte Sebastian Vettel große Hoffnungen, doch mehr als zwei Vize-Weltmeistertitel hinter Le- wis Hamilton im überragenden Mercedes (2017 und 2018) waren für den Heppenheimer in den sechs Jahren nicht drin. In der vor- letzten Saison verschlechterte sich die Bilanz der Scuderia zuse- hends, und doch kam die Meldung von seinem Rücktritt Mitte Mai 2020 einigermaßen überraschend. Sebastian verhält sich wie ein englischer Gentleman, der mit steifer Oberlippe die letzten Grands Prix der Corona-Saison 2020 mit Anstand über die Bühne bringt und sich trotz offensichtlicher Defizite von Team und Arbeitsge- rät mit Kritik vornehm zurückhält.
