As digital media becomes the primary communication for most organizations, digital literacy is more important than ever before. It is also known as media literacy, which has increased steadily for decades. In the context of marketing progressions, internet-based communications repeatedly demonstrate the advantage held by media-literate brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Digital Literacy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re entering a new digital chapter at an unprecedented pace; marketers need to make it a priority. Digital literacy for marketers is using technology to create content, and identifies what creator\u2019s motivations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How to create a post?<\/li><li>How to find other people\u2019s posts?<\/li><li>The ways posts are prioritized by the Facebook algorithm<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<strong>The Various Reasons why someone might post:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Connect with friends and family.<\/li><li>Make political statements.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Sell a product<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Digital literacy Gaps Affect Messaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketers are working to address this and parents and schools are increasingly seeking out digital literacy education. Computer skills classes now go beyond spreadsheets to include topics like protecting private information online.\u00a0 Until it is more widespread, marketers have to meet their audience where they are. Several government entities have experienced this, while others are working to find the best ways to share information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mis-Information is Putting on the Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mis-information is putting on the pressure and so has journalism, which is why it matters for marketers. Moreover, marketing has moved online and major news outlets have social media pages, with government entities following suit. Also, these developments, along with other tends, have serious implications for marketers. For instance, an informational article on their website is part of a sales funnel, and readers may have trouble spotting the differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Even Marketers Have to Keep Learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers aren\u2019t alone in the ongoing effort towards media literacy; marketers are right there with digital literacy. Moreover, with fake news appearing in everyone\u2019s feeds today, we all have our work cut out when it comes to staying informed. Platforms and messaging fall out of fashion, and results can dip if an effort isn\u2019t made to stay on top. Of changes in the social space, for example, TikTok, couldn\u2019t outpace Musical.ly, in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increasing Digital Literacy&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, one of the best ways to understand digital tools is to use them which reveals how the competition presents itself on a platform. Seeing things from a customer\u2019s perspective works and marketers benefit from using the platforms they work in. So, organizations hire native users to leverage their digital literacy; staying on top of media trends. This way keeps marketers at the forefront of customer interest, and what\u2019s on customer\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adapting in the Age of Digital Literacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketers have always had to be creative; marketing in the digital age means transferring those skills to the technology available today. So, digital literacy matters for marketers. It doesn\u2019t have to be difficult to learn a little more about tweaking. Use that creativity to fit modern marketing, try checking out how to boost posts, attract followers, and work with influencers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remote work and digital transformation plans everything into warp speed and marketers are along for the ride.
