The digital marketing toolbox

The world is changing...“To find something comparable, you have to go back 500 years to the printing press, the birth of mass media – which, incidentally, is what really destroyed the old world of kings and aristocracies. Technology is shifting power away from the editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now it‟s the people who are taking control.” Rupert Murdoch, Wired magazine ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

The world is changing...“ Less than a decade ago, people described the act of „going online‟ as venturing into some foreign realm called „cyberspace‟. But that metaphor no longer applies. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and all the other newcomers aren‟t places to go, but things to do, ways to express yourself, means to connect with others and extend your own horizons. Cyberspace was somewhere else. The Web is where we live.” Source: Newsweek ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

“As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know.We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don‟t know we don‟t know.” Donald Rumsfeld, former US Secretary of Defense , at Press Briefing February 12, 2002 after Confucius ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

It‟s about knowing your customers • How old are they? • How much money do they have? • Where do they live? • What do they like doing? • How do they relax? • What drives them? • What do they aspire to?

But how?

We can guess...

Or we can find out!• Data may be your organisations biggest asset• Sales/ transactions• Enquiries• Customer service• Web analytics (clickstream, site stats +++)• Ask them• On-site surveys!

Data is the key“How much value lies untapped in existing corporate and public data streams? My guess is a lot. How many companies are truly joining up their data to extract and interpret the kind of intangible insight that has real tangible value? My guess is very few. That, to me, has opportunity written all over it.”<Neil Perkin: Predicting The Unpredictablehttp://neilperkin.typepad.com/only_dead_fish>

Heineken „dual screen‟ game• Heineken StarPlayer: live football game that lets fans watch UEFA Champions League matches on TV whilst playing it in real-time on a computer, iPhone or iPod touch• „Dual screen‟ digital initiative transforms TV watching into a social interactive experience for football fans. The game taps into competitive banter of the fans by creating a live TV game experience that can be played from wherever they are watching the game• Overlay to live football matches, first global example of a social media gaming platform. Fans watch the football on TV while playing StarPlayer in real-time, anticipating events on the pitch live and making decisions on what will happen in next few seconds• „Dual screen‟ technology involves time-dependent decisions on play

Heineken „dual screen‟ game• To score points, fans anticipate what will happen at key moments such as corners, free kicks, and penalties, E.g. if the shot will be saved or if there will be a goal in the next 30 seconds. With every correct forecast, fans gain points. Through the „Interactive Champions League‟, they can also compete and share with their friends via Facebook and with other players around the world. “StarPlayer will really change the way in which football fans interact with the UEFA Champions League, creating a more social experience around watching and enjoying the matches. For Heineken to be able to bring the excitement and competition of these premium matches to the actual fingertips of the fans through the cutting edge „dual screen‟ technology of Star Player really showcases our commitment to providing extraordinary innovative experiences for fans.” Floris Cobelens, Global Head of Digital, Heineken

Online DISPLAY ads• Permission? • Or INTERRUPTIVE?

Cost per engagement?• “In general, the industry suffers from the emphasis on click- through rate. I feel very confident based on results that were seeing, especially when friends are recommending to friends. Research shows that, on average, people are 68% more likely to remember seeing the ad if their friend has recommended it and twice as likely to remember the message of the ad. (Nielsen). To Carolyn Everson us, whats more powerful than VP-global sales, Facebook click-through is, “Are people April 2011 paying attention to the message and remembering it?” ”

Online display• The most like traditional press advertising• Banners like strip on a newspaper magazine page• Debate: interruptive formats vs. permission• Stunning effects rapidly get boring/ annoying• Just because it can be done doesnt mean its right for your brand• TEST but also apply judgement ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

GoogleLarry Page and Sergey Brin founded Googlein 1998. Using a friends garage as their baseof operations, they only settled on a nameafter misspelling the maths term „googol‟.Googles combination of clever searchalgorithms and sophisticated ad programAdWords propelled it to the top of the searchengine market. It has stayed there ever since. ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

Yahoo!• Yahoo is struggling; CEO and co-founder Jerry Yang resigned at the end of 2008• Has continued to lose search engine market share under new CEO Carol Bartz• On July 29th 2009, Yahoo agreed „the unthinkable‟ and appointed Microsoft‟s Bing as its exclusive search platform. Soon the former „king of search‟ will soon only show results from its arch-rival ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

Bing• Microsoft Bing, the successor to MSN Live Search, launched in June 2009 with a reported £60 million marketing budget• Bing quickly established itself as a serious rival to Google. Total searches on Microsoft were up 22 per cent in a single month (Nielsen)• comScore confirms that Bing is still on the up; Yahoo!/Bing share nearly 30% in US in 2011 ©2011 Mike Berry Associates

Search Engine Optimisation (= SEO) “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic” search results.
