What will a brand be? Source: UK Brand Tags 15

Recommendation and Reputation 16

Markets are conversations. Conversations among human beings sound human. They are conducted in a human voice. Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors. The Cluetrain Manifesto, 1999 quot;We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and two underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.quot; Bill Gates, 2008 17

Intelligence Development 18 http://visualgadgets.blogspot.com/2008/06/graphs-and-networks.html

Information systems 19

Opportunities not to see 20

What is technology 21

What will media look like? 22

THE STAGE Message broadcast at audience Scale = audience = where the eyeballs have gone 23 David Cushman FasterFuture.blogspot.com

They aren’t looking at The Stage. They are looking at each other Scale = lots of communities of purpose = where the eyeballs are focused 24 David Cushman FasterFuture.blogspot.com

But what does all this mean? 25

Rampant Disintermediation http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7xAA71Ssids 26

The role of a brand in the age of industrial marketing no longer exists Attention is scarce and expensive. Media is not We already have tools to avoid advertising They will increase exponentially 27

What to do about it People haven’t changed We are a mass medium Markets are conversations Be part of the conversation Embrace failure JOIN IN 28

People haven’t changed Tell me and I’ll forget Show me and I’ll remember Involve me and I’ll understand 29

We are all individuals 30

Light lots of fires 31

We don’t ignore advertising 32

Fail Little & Often quot;..our company's success rate runs between 50 and 60 percent. About half of our new products succeed. That's as high as we want the success rate to be. If we try to make it any higher, we'll be tempted to err on the side of caution” A.G. Latley – CEO, Procter & Gamble 33

We are the eighth mass media 34

What about Content? Didn’t that used to be king? 35

Something to talk about Content isn't king.. If I sent you to a desert island and gave you the choice of taking your friends or your movies, you'd choose your friends -- if you chose the movies, king. we'd call you a sociopath. Conversation is king Content is just something to talk about Cory Doctorow 36

This isn’t a new idea…… 37

How to be talked about 38

Commitment not campaigning 39

Piracy is just another competitor 40

Why so serious? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Colorful_Clown.jpg11 40

Communication = Dialogue LISTEN http://www.flickr.com/photos/beebe_library/3042545758/ Listen to the customers you don’t have – there are far more of them Peter Drucker 41

Marketing is customer service 42

We are what we share 43

Experiences will always be scarce Abundant Scarce ENABLE You r ad her e 44

So what should brands do? Be useful + Be interesting 45

Conversation not conversion 46
