Amid Marketing Trends For Voice-Over

In 2019, Here's What I Know For Sure

December 6, 2018

By Natasha Marchewka

Voice Actor & Course Creator

I spend a fair bit of time seeking out marketing trends. While I'm fascinated by marketing, I also need to know what will help me build a thriving business.

And, as a voice-over talent, I like to know what's happening in the world of marketing that will affect the landscape of my industry.

Current articles about upcoming trends in marketing and advertising seem to be repetitive: artificial intelligence, virtual reality and creating video content … over and over again.

Operating as a global, micro-business (read: freelancer), it's a challenge to wade through all the information relevant for larger scale businesses. What I can decipher from educating myself is this:

Everything I've cumulatively learned over the years still applies.

Here is what I know for sure:

Be professional. Be brief. Be remarkable.
Diversify your revenue stream, so you're not relying on one source alone.
Use what you have. Start where you are.
Remain authentic. That will be the foundation for your brand and your message.
Stay relevant.

MARKETING TRENDS FOR 2019

In my research, I did find some relevant articles that are current and worth your time. Here are my top three picks:

5 Marketing Trends To Pay Attention To In 2019, Forbes

My take: Familiarity with a brand. Creativity in marketing. Synergy within a company. Communicate with people the way they want to communicate. Authentic relationship building.

Top 4 Digital Transformation Trends In Media And Entertainment For 2019, Forbes

My favorite quote: "Commercials galore. In 2019, we'll see an increased spend on digital video advertising."

What Seth Godin Wants You To Know About Marketing in 2019, Entrepreneur

Takeaway: Be relevant, not loud.

I hope you continue to thrive and grow, authentically. Only by being authentic in your life and in business, will you find true success.
