(00:00):
Welcome back to the all new digital rage. I'm Jeff the producer here at Byer Company.

(00:05):
This episode is all about digital marketing for Ambient IoT companies. Traditional marketing
approaches don't work for emerging technology. You need to predict the future. Let's deep
dive into Ambient IoT marketing. Welcome to the deep dive. We're going to be diving deep
into Ambient IoT marketing today and we have a fantastic article from Byer Co, a digital

(00:25):
marketing agency that is really making waves in this space. The article is actually written
by the CEO, Byer Co, Jeff Byer himself. We're getting insights from the source. Are you
ready to see how they are marketing something that is practically invisible? I am very excited
to dive into this because what's fascinating about Ambient IoT is that it's not just another

(00:51):
tech buzz word. It's about creating seamless integrated experiences. We're talking about
the internet of things, becoming so embedded in our surroundings that it feels almost invisible.
It's like the technology is just there anticipating your needs and making things happen effortlessly.
Exactly. Think about like a smart home that adjusts the temperature and lighting based on your

(01:12):
preferences or a city that optimizes traffic flow in real time. It's about technology fading
into the background and enhancing our lives and subtle but powerful ways. So how do you even
begin to market something that is designed to be invisible? It seems counterintuitive.
That's the challenge and the opportunity. Traditional marketing approaches just don't cut
it. In the Ambient IoT world, we need to shift from marketing things to marketing experiences.

(01:38):
And buyer co's article really emphasizes that point. They talked about how marketing Ambient
IoT requires a deep understanding of user needs and a focus on creating those seamless integrated
experiences. Absolutely. And one of their key insights is that successful Ambient IoT marketing
hinges on predicting future trends, especially when it comes to SEO. They actually shared how

(02:01):
they predicted the rise of the term Ambient IoT itself, allowing their clients to get ahead
of the curve and dominate search rankings. It's like they have a crystal ball for future
tech trends. How do they do that? I'm guessing it's not just about throwing darts at a board,
filled with buzzwords. It's about connecting the dots. They analyze
emerging technologies, consumer behavior pattern, and even shifts in language to anticipate

(02:24):
what terms people will be searching for down the line. It's a strategy that anyone can
apply, no matter what industry they're in. That's a great takeaway for our listeners.
Don't just follow trends and anticipate them. Now let's talk about how they're using
this foresight to create successful digital marketing campaigns. The buyer co-article
dies into several strategies. SEO, personalized marketing, social media, and data analytics.

(02:49):
It's a lot to unpack. And each of those strategies takes on a unique
dimension in the context of Ambient IoT, for example, when it comes to SEO. It's not just
about optimizing for current keywords. It's about anticipating how language will evolve
as this technology becomes more integrated into our lives. So you're saying the companies
need to start thinking about what people will be searching for five years from now. Not

(03:11):
just what's popular today. That seems like a tall order. It is. But it's essential to
staying ahead of the curve and a rapidly evolving field like Ambient IoT.
Bireco uses a combination of data analysis, trend forecasting, and even linguistic analysis
to predict how search behavior will change. So it sounds like they're taking a very scientific
approach to SEO, which makes sense considering the complexity of Ambient IoT.

(03:34):
Exactly. And this approach extends to their website design as well. They emphasize creating
user experiences that are both innovative and easy to understand, which can be tricky
when you're dealing with cutting edge technology. Yeah, there are article highlighted the importance
of a website that feels intuitive and visually engaging. It's like they're trying to make

(03:55):
the invisible visible. Precisely. You need to capture people's attention with compelling
visuals and make the technology feel less intimidating through clear concise language
and intuitive navigation. They believe that showcasing customer testimonials and case studies
is also key to building trust and credibility in a market that's still relatively new.
It's like they're saying don't just tell people about the technology show them how it's already

(04:17):
making a difference in people's lives. That approach really resonates with me. But what about the
content itself? How do they make something as complex as Ambient IoT relatable and engaging
for a wider audience? That's where content marketing comes in. Fireco advocates for a strategy
that balances informing and engaging the tech savvy target audience. For Ambient IoT, they've found

(04:40):
that storytelling is crucial for making complex topics more digestible. I'm all about a good story.
So instead of bombarding people with technical jargon, they're weaving narratives that show how Ambient
IoT solutions can solve real-world problems. Exactly. For example, instead of simply listing
the features of a smart home system, they might share a story about how it helped a busy family

(05:01):
simplify their lives and save energy. They also use educational content like how-to guides and FAQs
to answer common questions and position themselves as experts. So they're not just selling a product
they're building. A knowledge base and a community around Ambient IoT that's smart. But with all this
focus on content and website design, are we forgetting about the little device that's practically

(05:26):
glued to our hands? You mean our smartphones? Absolutely not. In fact, Byerco emphasizes that mobile
optimization is non-negotiable in Ambient IoT marketing. Which makes sense considering how we're
increasingly using our phones to interact with smart devices and manage our connected lives?
Precisely. And it's not just about having a responsive website. It's about ensuring that IoT

(05:46):
applications themselves are mobile-friendly, providing a seamless and intuitive user experience
across all devices. So without creating a holistic ecosystem, where every touchpoint from the website
to the app to the device itself is optimized for a mobile first world. That's a tall order.
It is, but it's essential for success in Ambient IoT marketing. And let's not forget,

(06:06):
the power of social media for building brand awareness and engaging with this tech-sabby audience.
The Byerco article specifically mentioned LinkedIn and X as key platforms for reaching this
demographic. What kind of content are they recommending for these platforms? They believe the focus should
be on demonstrating value and expertise. They suggest showcasing thought leadership through articles

(06:29):
and blog posts, highlighting innovative applications and success stories, and actively engaging with
followers to foster a sense of community. So it's about building relationships and establishing
credibility, just like with any other form of marketing. But with Ambient IoT, you also have
this incredible amount of data at your fingertips, right? You're absolutely right. And that brings us
to one of the most powerful tools in the Ambient IoT marketing arsenal data analytics. Data analytics

(06:55):
is like having a superpower in the marketing world, especially when you're dealing with devices
that are constantly generating information about user behavior and preferences. Exactly. And Byerco
highlights how crucial data analytics is for understanding how people are interacting with Ambient IoT
technology, which allows companies to personalize their marketing messages and make data-driven

(07:16):
decisions. So it's about using data to make smarter decisions and create more effective campaigns.
That's the essence of it. By analyzing data from IoT devices, companies can gain insights
into user preferences, identify what's working, and what's not in their marketing efforts,
and constantly refine their strategies to improve their return on investment.

(07:37):
So it's not just about collecting data. It's about knowing how to use it effectively, to create
personalized experiences that resonate with consumers. And it seems like Byerco has mastered
this art, wouldn't you say? They definitely seem to be at the forefront of this data-driven
approach to Ambient IoT marketing. And their insights are valuable for anyone looking to succeed

(07:58):
in this rapidly evolving space. But as exciting as the present is, I'm even more curious about what
the future holds for Ambient IoT marketing. Me too. The Byerco article touched on some fascinating
trends that could shape the future of this field. Where do you think things are headed? Well, two
major trends stood out to me. The first is the rise of artificial intelligence in marketing.
We've all heard about AI, but how is it being used specifically in the context of Ambient IoT

(08:23):
marketing? Byerco envisions AI playing a pivotal role in automating marketing tasks and creating
hyper-personalized experiences. Imagine AI analyzing your IoT data to understand your preferences,
and then tailoring marketing messages to your exact needs. Wow, that's a level of personalization I
hadn't even considered. It's both impressive and a little mind-boggling to think about. It is.

(08:46):
And the other trend that caught my eye is the transformative power of 5G technology. 5G has been
a buzzword for a while now. But I'm still not quite sure how it will impact Ambient IoT marketing
specifically. Can you shed some light on that? Of course. 5G will be a game changer for Ambient IoT
because it offers significantly faster speeds and lower latency compared to previous generations of

(09:09):
cellular technology. This means we'll see even more seamless and sophisticated interactions
between devices opening up a whole new world of possibilities for marketers. That's fascinating.
It's like 5G will be the fuel that powers the Ambient IoT revolution. I can already imagine the
incredible experiences that will be created once this technology becomes more widely adopted.
It's definitely an exciting time to be following the developments in Ambient IoT marketing.

(09:32):
And Byerco's insights offer a valuable roadmap for navigating this complex and evolving landscape.
I agree. But before we wrap up this part of our deep dive, I want to touch on something that Byerco
briefly mentioned in their article, the ethical considerations of this level of personalized marketing.
That's an important point to bring up. With all this data being collected and analyzed,

(09:54):
companies need to be transparent about how they're using it and respect user privacy.
Absolutely. It's a delicate balance between delivering personalized experiences and ensuring
that consumers feel comfortable and in control of their data. I couldn't agree more. It's a
conversation that needs to happen as this technology becomes more prevalent in our lives. Well said.
And on that note, let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll delve into some specific

(10:18):
examples of how Byerco is putting these strategies into action and achieving incredible results for the
clients. Welcome back. Now that we've laid the groundwork for understanding Ambient IoT marketing,
let's dive into some real world examples of how Byerco is putting these strategies into action.
They've got some seriously impressive case studies. Yeah. And I'm eager to unpack what we can learn

(10:40):
from them. One case study that really stood out to me was their work with Williet, a company specializing
in battery-free Bluetooth tags. These tiny sticker-like tags can track everything from products in a
supply chain to environmental conditions in a building, all without needing batteries. Will
it's tech is incredible. It's like giving everyday objects of voice. I imagine getting people excited

(11:01):
about something so small and invisible must have been a unique challenge for Byerco. You're right.
It was. Byerco knew that Ambient IoT was going to be a crucial term in the future, even though it
wasn't widely used at the time. So they strategically incorporated it into Williet's website content and
meta descriptions, helping them rank highly for that term, even before it became mainstream. That's

(11:23):
some serious SEO for site. I bet that move paid off big time for Williet. It absolutely did. By getting
ahead of the curve, they saw a huge surge in organic traffic to their website, which ultimately led
to more leads and sales. It proves that anticipating future trends in SEO can be a game-changer.
It's a great example of how a deep understanding of both technology and language can give you a

(11:46):
significant edge in the digital marketing world. But SEO is just one piece of the puzzle right.
Let's talk about how Byerco tackled website design for their Ambient IoT clients.
They did some impressive work with Tembu, a company that develops an IoT platform for
connecting devices and building applications. Imagine a platform that lets you control everything
from your smart lights to your security system from a single interface. That sounds incredibly

(12:10):
powerful. But also potentially overwhelming for the average user. I bet their website needed
to strike that balance between showcasing their innovation and making things easy to understand
for potential customers. You hit the nail in the head. Byerco redesigned Tembu's website with a
focus on user experience and visual storytelling. They used clear and concise language intuitive

(12:31):
navigation and engaging visuals to make the complex world of IoT development feel more accessible.
I love the idea of visual storytelling. It's so much more effective than just hitting people
with technical jargon. Did this approach pay off for Tembu?
It did. Their new website saw a significant increase in user engagement with visitors spending
more time on the site and exploring more pages. That's a clear indicator that the design was successful

(12:56):
in capturing people's attention and sparking their curiosity. It's a great reminder that design
isn't just about aesthetics. It's about creating an experience that guides users and helps
them understand the value of what you're offering. But let's move beyond websites for a moment.
How is Byerco creating content that resonates with the tech savvy audience that's drawn to ambient IoT?

(13:19):
One example that showcases their content marketing prowess is their work with Estimode,
a company that makes Bluetooth Beacons for location-vade services. You've probably encountered
these Beacons in retail stores, museums, and even airports, they're the tiny devices that
can trigger personalized experiences based on your location. I've definitely had those welcome

(13:40):
back messages pop up on my phone as I've walked into my favorite stores. It's always a little bit
magical, but also makes you realize just how much data is being collected about our movements.
That's the power and potential concern of this technology. But back to Estimode, Byerco helped
them create a content strategy that went beyond just explaining the technical aspects of Beacons.
They focused on showcasing the versatility and real world applications across various industries.

(14:04):
So instead of just saying, "Hey, we make Beacons." They were telling stories about how these Beacons
could be used to enhance customer experiences, improve operational efficiency,
and even create new revenue streams. Exactly. They created blog posts, case studies,
and even interactive demos that let potential customers experience the power of Beacons first hand.

(14:26):
It was all about showing, not just telling. That's a smart approach. And I bet it resonated
with their target audience. Did Estimode see positive results from the strategy? They did. They saw
a significant boost in brand awareness and engagement. And they attracted new customers from a variety
of sectors. Proving that content marketing can be incredibly effective for even the most

(14:47):
seemingly invisible technologies. It's clear that Byerco has a real knack for understanding the unique
challenges and opportunities of ambient IoT marketing. They're not just applying generic
marketing principles. They're tailoring their approach to fit this specific niche. Absolutely.
Their success is a testament to the power of specialization and a deep understanding of the technology

(15:08):
you're marketing. It's inspiring to see how they're pushing the boundaries and setting the standard
for others to follow. But I'm curious, what are they doing to stay ahead of the curve in a field
that's constantly evolving? They're making strategic investments in cutting-edge technologies,
like AI and machine learning. They're using AI to automate marketing tasks and create hyper-personalized

(15:30):
experiences based on the massive amounts of data. Being generated by IoT devices,
imagine receiving a coupon for your favorite coffee just as you're walking past the shop. All
thanks to AI analyzing your location data and past purchase history. That's incredible. It's like
having a personal marketing assistant. Yeah. Who knows you better than you know yourself. It's

(15:51):
both exciting and a little bit spooky to think about. It is. And it raises important questions about
data privacy and the ethical implications of this level of personalization, which we touched on
earlier. But there's no denying the potential power of AI and marketing, especially in the ambient
IoT space. And what about 5G? How is buyer co-incorporating this transformative technology
into their strategies? They see 5G as a key enabler of even more seamless and immersive experiences,

(16:18):
with its faster speeds and lower latency. 5G will allow for real-time data processing
and even more sophisticated interactions between devices. This opens up a whole new world of
creative possibilities for marketers. 5G is giving ambient IoT the super highway it needs
to reach its full potential. I'm eager to see what innovative experiences, buyer co and other

(16:41):
agencies will create as this technology becomes more widely available. But for now let's shift gears
and explore another crucial aspect of ambient IoT marketing that buyer co-highlighted in their
article, the importance of social media. So we've talked about the importance of social media for
reaching these tech savvy audiences. But in the world of ambient IoT, it seems like it takes on a
whole new level of importance. You're right. Social media isn't just an afterthought in this space.

(17:04):
It's a crucial channel for building brand awareness, establishing thought leadership,
and fostering a community around your technology. The buyer co-article specifically mentioned.
LinkedIn Annex is being particularly effective. For reaching the target audience for ambient IoT,
what makes these platforms so well suited for this kind of marketing? Well LinkedIn is the go-to

(17:25):
platform for professionals and decision makers in the tech industry. So it's a natural fit for
companies developing and marketing, ambient IoT solutions. It's the perfect place to showcase your
expertise, highlight innovative applications, and connect with potential clients and partners.
Makes sense. You want to be where the key players are? What about X? What makes it a valuable platform

(17:46):
for ambient IoT marketing? X is all about real-time conversations and staying on top of trends,
which aligns perfectly with the fast-paced nature of the ambient IoT world. It's a great place to
share news and insights, engage with thought leaders, and participate in discussions that shape the
industry. So it's about being part of the conversation and demonstrating that you're at the forefront

(18:07):
of this exciting technology. But it's not just about broadcasting your message right, it's about
engagement and building relationships. Exactly. Buyer co-emphasizes the importance of active engagement
on social media. They recommend responding to comments hosting live sessions and creating content
that encourages interaction. It's all about building a community around your brand and fostering

(18:29):
a sense of shared excitement about the possibilities of ambient IoT. It sounds like social media is where
the human element of marketing really shines through even when you're dealing with technology. That's
designed to be almost invisible. But with all this talk about strategies and tactics, it's easy to
lose sight of the bigger picture. What is the future hold for ambient IoT marketing? Where do you

(18:51):
see things heading? That's a million dollar question, isn't it? I believe we're just scratching the
surface of what's possible with ambient IoT marketing. As the technology matures and becomes
even more integrated into our lives, we'll see a whole new wave of creative and innovative marketing
approaches. It is exciting to think about all the possibilities. We've already touched on the potential
of AI and 5G to transform marketing. But what other trends are you keeping an eye on? One trend I find

(19:17):
particularly fascinating is the rise of hyper-personalization. Imagine a world where your smart devices
anticipate your needs and preferences so well that marketing messages feel less like interruptions.
And more like helpful suggestions seamlessly integrated into your daily life. That sounds incredible.
It's like having a personal concierge. Who knows exactly what you want before you even ask.

(19:40):
It. But it also raises concerns about data privacy and the potential for manipulation.
Are we sacrificing our autonomy for the sake of convenience? That's the ethical dilemma we need to
grapple with. As ambient IoT becomes more prevalent, companies need to be transparent about how
they're using data and give consumers control over their privacy settings. It's a conversation
that needs to happen sooner rather than later. I agree. We need to ensure that this technology is used

(20:04):
responsibly and ethically. It's a powerful tool that has the potential to enhance our lives in
countless ways. But it also comes with risks that we can't ignore. It's a balancing act for sure.
But I'm optimistic that we can find ways to harness the power of ambient IoT while protecting our
privacy on autonomy. Well said, I think that's a great note to end on. This deep dive into the world

(20:26):
of ambient IoT marketing has been incredibly eye opening. We've learned about the strategies,
the challenges, and the incredible potential of this rapidly evolving field. It's a field that's
constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible and it's been a pleasure exploring it with you.
Thanks for joining us on this journey into ambient IoT marketing. We hope you've gained some valuable

(20:47):
insights that you can apply to your own understanding of this ever changing world of technology and
marketing. This is the deep dive signing off. Until next time, keep exploring, keep learning, and
