Omnichannel strategies have increased in popularity over the last several years in line with the rise of new apps and platforms that have the capability for advertisers to purchase marketing space. The term was introduced to the marketing world back in 2010, and it becomes even more relevant today as we continue to place focus on our digital marketing activity.
The term omnichannel is mostly used in retail but can be applied to other industries. The main idea behind it is cultivating how your brand is seen, experienced and defined across all locations where your business operates.
At Embryo, we embrace omnichannel strategies as one of our core values is ‘togetherness’. We encourage collaboration across channels to drive results in all areas of our client’s businesses. If you would like to understand more about what omnichannel strategy is best for your brand, get in touch today at 0161 327 2635 or email us at info@embryo.com.
