digital marketing industry

Digital marketing is evolving at a rapid pace. And in Spain, significant movements are being seen in both the private sector and the government. In recent weeks, initiatives have been announced that combine technology, content, and measurement to gain visibility, improve the user experience, and ultimately drive tangible results.

Two cases illustrate this dynamic well.On the one hand, a large environmental organization is strengthening its digital strategy with a specialized consulting firm; on the other, a regional capital is launching a multi-channel campaign to boost local commerce. The backdrop is clear: more data, more personalization, and less improvisation.

Ecoembes relies on SIDN to accelerate its digital strategy

digital strategy

Ecoembes has selected the Andalusian agency SIDN as its new digital business consultancy. after a private competition. The assignment includes defining and managing part of the media strategy, as well as a reputational and business roadmap geared toward digital environments.

The agreement has an initial duration of three years and will rely on key areas such as technological development, content, Search AI, UX/UI, and data analytics. The combination of these disciplines will allow the team to identify opportunities, optimize assets, and prioritize actions with proven impact.

The stated objectives are to raise the visibility of the organization, fine-tune the user's digital experience, and support their circular economy initiatives. The premise is clear: data-driven decisions, with creativity and technology at the service of the message and the end user.

In terms of execution, a close integration of measurement and continuous improvement is planned., from SEO and content to user journeys and usability testing. Automation will play a key role, always accompanied by human oversight to ensure quality, consistency, and brand safety.

Pamplona launches a digital marketing campaign for local businesses

digital marketing campaign

The Pamplona City Council's Commerce Department has launched a digital marketing campaign. within the "Commerce Makes City" program, with the aim of promoting local products and local commerce proposals in different neighborhoods.

The first phase is articulated through merchants' associations of the Old Town, Ensanche, Iturrama, Txantrea, Erripagaña, Ermitagaña, Mendebaldea, Azpilagaña, Martín Azpilcueta, San Juan, Lezkairu and Rochapea, as well as the municipal markets of Ensanche, Ermitagaña and Santo Domingo, with the intention of extending the campaign to the entire city.

The deployment combines analog and digital media: Seven commercial billboards, the three screens at the Bosquecillo kiosk, and other municipal billboards broadcast commercial, cultural, and tourist content aimed at both residents and visitors.

In the analog part, the mupis show plans with the associated businesses (San Juan, Iturrama, Rochapea and the Old Town). In the digital section, 21 videos are broadcast dedicated to local products and century-old businesses in the Old Town and the Ensanche, pieces that are also projected in two buildings in the city.

The themes cover very diverse icons and sectors: San Fermín festivals, kilikis and giants, textiles and footwear, crafts and antiques, as well as gastronomy (sweets, patxaran, txistorra, meats, vegetables, wines, and cheeses). Also included are the Ensanche and Santo Domingo markets, jewelry, and music, with timeless pieces to showcase throughout the year.

The next phase includes specific videos for specific campaigns. associations and the City Council. The Bosquecillo kiosk will display these pieces on its three screens, and a screen will be added to the window of the "Comercio de Pamplona / Iruñeko Merkataritza" store (Calle Mercaderes 11) to increase visibility.

As a complement, an augmented reality application will be developed. —with a mobile and web version—that will allow you to view commercial proposals along tourist routes, integrating commerce into the urban experience with just a click.

The initiative is supported by funding from the Recovery Plan with Next Generation EU funds. and has promoted the creation of technological resources: an AR app, billboards and digital screens, a node system for online marketing, and a free municipal Wi-Fi network to manage these media. The initiatives have focused on the San Fermin/Camino de Santiago routes and are planned as a pilot for subsequent expansion.

What these actions say about today's digital marketing

digital marketing trends

The corporate project and municipal campaign confirm an omnichannel and data-driven approach: Technology to segment and measure, content to connect, and a long-term vision that prioritizes utility over noise.

AI applied to search gains prominence in tasks such as keyword research, personalization, and analysis of large volumes of data, always with editorial quality and authenticity as a counterbalance to maintain user trust.

On social media, virality works best when it serves a strategy.: It may attract peak attention, but valuable content is what builds loyalty and converts. The key is combining reach and depth, with clear objectives and measurement.

Transparency, traceability of results and the use of professional tools are consolidated as requirements to sustain growth: dashboards, conversion tracking, technical SEO and user experience remain in the same direction when there is a method.

Movements such as Ecoembes with SIDN and the Pamplona plan reflect a growing maturity. in the way we understand digital marketing: less fireworks, more strategy, well-applied technology, and a focus on the real impact on businesses, institutions, and citizens.
