7th Göttingen Marketing Day: Marketing in Times of Digital Upheaval

When even politicians discuss the development of a digital ministry, this is a clear indication that the topic of digitization has arrived in society. Naturally, companies deal with these topics much earlier. And in the implementation of digitization strategies, they are usually faster. The pressure to act in the world of work is great. What is needed are comprehensible digitization strategies.

For the 7th Göttingen Marketing Day, the PFH Private University of Göttingen and initiator Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof, Professor of International Marketing, were again able to attract a very wide range of speakers and companies. In addition to the international fashion companies Hugo Boss and ABOUT YOU and the medium-sized companies Einbecker Brauerei AG and Hörgräte KIND, the exclusive luxury brand Bugatti also makes an exciting contribution, as does MAN as a B2B corporation and a top communication agency Jung von Matt with the example Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe as a regional B2C service provider.

Exciting lectures, interesting discussions and conversations as well as valuable new contacts are the framework for an event that is considered one of the highlights of the year. At the end of the evening, initiator Hans Christian Riekhof invites you to the historic wine cellar of the traditional Göttingen company Bremer. In a first-class ambience, guests can expect an excellent selection of wines and a Mediterranean buffet – and nice conversations.

How Bugatti generated 1.8 million views on YouTube in two weeks

How the luxury car manufacturer Bugatti successfully uses social media for its marketing is now demonstrated by a video published on YouTube. Dr. Frank Götzke, Head of New Technologies at Bugatti, who recently gave an exciting lecture on the history of Bugatti at the invitation of Prof. Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof at the PFH Private University of Göttingen, had posted it online on the Volkswagen Group YouTube channel for Christmas 2018. As Götzke proudly announced, they had generated more than 1.8 million views in just two weeks, with a dislike rate of less than 3 percent. The number of subscribers to the channel had increased from 23,500 to 32,000 during the same period, an increase of almost 27 percent; the three other posts made during the relevant two weeks together received a total of 1,600 views. The background is an additively manufactured, innovative brake caliper, the “still the largest titanium 3D printed functional component in the world.” Otherwise occupied, the started marketing communication for it had been temporarily suspended. Götzke reports that recently there have been increasing inquiries from the international press as to whether this component is actually functional. So in early December he decided to “prove the opposite” with the help of a small test stand video. Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof, Professor of International Marketing at the PFH Private University of Göttingen, praises this idea and the professional technical and visually appealing implementation on the YouTube platform. It becomes more than clear here that a suitable presentation of innovation results can inspire a broad public worldwide.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPkY8nBWxoU
