The Modern Marketing Manifesto challenges marketers to be creative and innovative. But how do we as marketers do this. David Sealey who is completing his MBA disertation on Disruptive Innovation in Retail Markets discusses how marketers can innovate.
The Modern Marketing Manifesto is absolutely spot on. One of the challenges it sets for marketers is to design services and products with innovation and creativity.
I believe that all of us have the imagination to be both creative and innovative within out industry. You don't need to be able to draw to be creative, and you don't need to have the word innovation in your job title to be an innovator.

To celebrate the launch of our new digital marketing and ecommerce awards, #TheDigitals, I've rounded up five brilliant examples of innovation in social media.
To avoid any accusations of bias, these are all examples that fall outside the eligibility period for the current awards, but give an idea of the sort of thing we are looking for.
#TheDigitals are the new awards that recognise the best in digital marketing and ecommerce. Award entries must be submitted online before the deadline March 13, 2013.
Award categories cover both industry and platform specific areas. There are special categories for best new technology, rising star (free to enter) and the overall Grand Prix winner. Further information on categories and entry requirements is available at thedigitalsawards.com
So without further ado, here are the five innovative social campaigns...

It seems that, after a few years of redesigns, navigation on most e-commerce sites follows a pretty familiar pattern.
There is some sense in this. Online shoppers are accustomed to the same general patterns of navigation from their experiences on the online retail sites they use regularly, so there is much to be said for following precedent in this area.
But does this prevent innovation in e-commerce design? Are there better ways that retailers could be using?
I've been asking the e-commerce experts and looking at a few examples...

For the past few months there have been calls for Australia to become a ‘Silicon Beach’, where technology entrepreneurs can build new global businesses, experiment with start-ups and rival foreign innovators.
Australia’s location, time zone and existing creative community makes the country an ideal incubator for this and, when the National Broadband Network is rolled out in the next few years, the country will have a vastly improved global reach.
It is because of these factors that digital economists believe Australia has the critical ingredients needed to succesfully compete in the near future with the world's leading digital economies, such as the United States.

When it to comes to innovation; Rory Sutherland certainly knows his stuff.
A pure product of evolution himself, he started his career as a classics teacher and is now vice chairman of Ogilvy Group - stopping at the planning department and working as a copywriter along the way.
Though, as an ad man, technology had a huge influence on the way he works with clients, what he's really interested in is consumer behaviour.
When we sat down just before Christmas, I’d been told to question him about tiny tweaks in design that have mind-boggling changes, starting with the change of a button...
