Social media and the consumer opportunity The evolution of social media, growth in mobile and GPS, and individuals‟ maturing confidence in their online identity are resulting in new opportunities for consumers to challenge brands. Brands need to start identifying how to respond effectively.

Content and identity Facebook:  55 million updates per day  We share 3.5 billion pieces of content every week  Over 2.5 billion photos uploaded each month “Thanks to easy-to-use interfaces and fine- grained privacy controls, social networks have been transformed into vast public spaces where millions of people now feel comfortable using their real identities online.” The Economist, January 2010

What friends are for

Never the same network

The new behaviour

Value in your data How do you make your data work for you?

Blippy: Money talks

Find the value in your data “To tell people - friends, acquaintances, maybe even strangers - a little bit more about you.” Philip Kaplan, Blippy co-founder on Blippy I reckon: You should tell companies more about you.

Some data‟s out there  Re-Tweets are posted most at Friday 4pm  Personalised social media analytics currently lack meaning

Aggregate Aggregate your own social media content and metrics:  Time  Location  Relationships  Key words Unlock the value in your social media data & use it to challenge companies No site currently aggregates your social media content effectively Semantic web will help

„Friends‟ as commodities @whoever this month has:  Checked in at Apostrophe 8 times  Bought a Superdry jacket  Mentioned me in 2 tweets How can this relationship bring near-future tangible value to me?

How should brands embrace this?  Deeper marketing segmentation  Cross-industry partnerships  Understand ROI on word of mouth  Measure the quality of influence - am I more likely to go to Apostrophe?

Real-time and Future-time  „Decision-making present‟  Compete for consumers‟ near-future attention  “I am doing this next”  Instant, automatic analysis of real-time consumer data

Attention auction  Open, two-way real-time communication for your attention  Location, time and relationship specific  Multi-faceted rewards: price discounts, (un)branded content  Cross-sector partnerships

Your ROA  Significant consumer opportunities exist in the near-future, through unlocking the power of social media content and the science within it  What is your Return on Investment?  What is your Return on Attention?  As we continue to evolve with brands in the social media space, this Return won‟t just be financial
