Today I’m pleased to be talking to a man, who founded his first Internet Marketing firm back in 1999. He’s worked for a large search agency, in-house for couple of major brands and is a regular conference speaker – he’s welcome to DMR, Anthony Kirlew.

Today on Digital Marketing Radio we discuss how to create a holistic digital marketing strategy, with topics including:
- Do you think that brick and mortar businesses generally ‘get’ digital marketing nowadays more than they used to a few years ago?
- What do you feel businesses struggle most with at the moment when it comes to digital marketing?
- Tell me about your ‘SWOT’ approach to digital marketing
- What would you say are the things that businesses think that they’re doing well – but they’re actually not?
- If you’re doing work for a bigger business that employs multiple agencies to do different digital marketing activities – is it possible to tie everything together in a joint approach?
