A digital diet aims to account for the kind of content we consume online. You can consider it like a food diet, with some bits being healthy, but some definitely not. But without actively curating your content, you can be led by algorithms towards content that doesn’t serve your goals.

And we all know the omnipresent algorithm doesn’t always give consumers stuff they want or need, so it’s natural that they are looking at ways to take charge of their attention.

Consumers are moving away from passive consumption. They want to actively curate their feeds to stuff that brings them true value, which has huge implications for marketing to them.

Great personalised content is subtle but effective. It meets your customers at different stages of the customer journey and provides them with content that they want to hear about. By doing so, you prime your brand for when that customer is ready to make a purchase.

There are lots of options: Email campaigns that move customers along the funnel can play a crucial part, as well as personalised offers that help conversion. But you can also meet them more passively with tailored blog content and influencer marketing, in order to promote your brand identity.
