In a dynamic field, university marketing educators ought to harness new digital tools and social media platforms successfully in the curriculum, but evidence of its widespread adoption is meager (Tuten & Marks, 2012). By explicitly investigating exemplars of pedagogic innovation failure, this research paper analyses faculty and digital marketing student perspectives on the use of digital tools and social media for formal learning. This research paper makes a case to dispel the unhelpful narrative of technophobic instructors struggling to teach homogeneous tech-savvy digital natives, but to recognise a nuanced continuum of digital capabilities, for both students and instructors. Educators should seek to collaborate with students to choose how they interact using digital tools, recognising the importance and diversity of public-private boundaries, and consider the need for this to take place beyond the gaze of faculty.

Despite the widespread use of smartphones, apps, and social media in college students' and instructors' lives, there has been a slow adoption of these digital tools into the classroom. This chapter posits that individuals' online interactions account for a great deal of informal learning and that by integrating these digital tools in our classrooms, instructors can complement and extend the formal learning of their classrooms. Specifically, this chapter offers three ways that technology can assist in the classroom: to promote inclusive participation, to enhance the classroom climate, and to explore and demonstrate course material in an engaging way. To these ends, the authors explore the efficacy of social media sites, Google applications, and GIFs and memes.

The methodology adopted is the systematic review using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework. The results show that digital platforms currently used include mobile marketing (SMS) and social media platforms. The findings suggest that SMS-based marketing may be appealing to other market segments but not to young adults.

Moreover, the findings suggest that marketers, in their quest to influence customer purchasing decisions, should consider the knowledge that social media followers have regarding a subject matter (such as a product), and make an effort to educate those followers on the subject (or product) before suggesting a purchase.

At the 2016 Dimebash event, Phil Anselmo made a Nazi salute and shouted ‘White power!’ at the end of his performance of the Pantera song ‘Walk’ onstage. The attendant YouTuber Chris R shared a video of the incident and thus provoked a discussion about racism in metal that also included widely discussed statements of Robb Flynn and Scott Ian, who both labelled Anselmo’s actions as racist. This is one of many examples that demonstrate changing information flows and increasingly fast-paced communication processes on social media platforms, including metal communities. Online platforms such as YouTube or Facebook not only enable musicians and bands to share videos, songs, tour dates or band gossip, but also to directly engage in discussions with their fans, which may also involve social and political issues. To provide an illustration of metal bands’ possibilities for online interaction, I have created a digital metal landscape that includes a set of digital tools, platforms and applications for different music- and non-music-related activities. Against this background, I discuss here contemporary metal musicians’ political and social engagement on social media and the reach of their comments within metal communities. Based on an analysis of Robb Flynn’s online presence in his The General Journals: Diary of a Frontman and Varg Vikernes’ Thulean Perspective, I will show that in the digital age, it is possible for metal musicians to become important influencers not only regarding music but also regarding social and political issues.

The digital marketing of commercial complementary foods (CCF) is an emerging area of concern in Australia. Although research into traditional methods has identified a range of problems, the marketing and messaging strategies employed within digital spaces have gone largely unscrutinized. This study sought to examine the methods used by CCF manufacturers to promote Australian baby foods and brands in a digital space. A multiple step approach was used to assess the CCF brands available in major Australian retailers, the social media platforms they used, and to thematically analyze the text and visual messages contained in posts published over a three-month period. Of the 15 brands identified, 12 had a digital presence, and all of these used Facebook. Four themes emerged from an analysis of 216 Facebook posts; (1) general product attributes, (2) socially desirable attributes (which included messaging related to taste (41%), self-feeding (29%) and fun (19%)), (3) concern-based attributes (including organic status (40%), age targets (39%) and additive-/allergen-free status (18%)) and (4) health-focused attributes (which included messaging related to healthy/nutritious ingredients (45%), and child development/growth (15%). Messages contained in Facebook posts were mostly positive brand/product aspects (Themes 1 and 2) or parental concern-based aspects (Theme 3 and 4). These themes match previous analyses of marketing content in traditional media and should be closely monitored due to the personalized nature of consumer social media interactions.
