2016 saw the continued growth of digital marketing via mobile devices – forcing all companies to embrace the power of mobile optimization and to ensure that their websites are 100% mobile-friendly and adaptable, or risk missing out on thousands of rands of new business. We also watched the rise of incredible new apps like Pokémon Go; re-emphasising the benefits associated with app development and nostalgia-based marketing. The question is… what does 2017 hold for the digital realm? We investigate below.
