Dezzutti: “Print absolutely is not dead.”

In this era of Tweets, webinars and hyper-mobility, would you believe that federal agency IT decision-makers can’t get enough of … print articles in industry pubs? And trade shows?

Yep. While they also depend greatly upon online content, social media and other digital resources, they still also seek out information in traditional forms, according to the 2012 Federal Media and Marketing Study from Market Connections Inc. So companies seeking IT contracts must execute messaging plans that integrate both “old” and “new” thinking, according to Lisa Dezzutti, founder/president at Market Connections. More than 3,700 leaders at military and civilian federal agencies took part in the research.
