CONFIDENTIAL Advertising Through The Looking Glass: The Upside Down World Of Social Media

CONFIDENTIAL But you can ’ t buy time of the word of mouth channel- You have to earn it. Key difference: What Millions have in common: lowest common denominator vs. Micro targets who love you enough to advocate to the masses for you: highest common denominator

CONFIDENTIAL The Purpose of Social Media Credibility % who believe in paid advertising: 18% % who believe in WOM: 78%

CONFIDENTIAL Where this really works Awareness Consideration Shopping

CONFIDENTIAL But without scale, it is just a hobby Buzz @ scale is the holy grail

CONFIDENTIAL Scale: There is no silver bullet

CONFIDENTIAL Marketing in the future is like sex, only the losers have to pay for it Paid / Free Ratio = Brand Strength

CONFIDENTIAL Every brand is a media company Paid + Owned + Earned

CONFIDENTIAL Life Cycle of Advertising Experimental (Trial) Growth (Codify) Maturity (Reinvent) Games Advertising Online Advertising TV Social Media is here

CONFIDENTIAL Ogilvy ’ s Rules

CONFIDENTIAL WWDD? Social Media Rules

CONFIDENTIAL Over-riding principle Social is about people The best social marketing mirrors The way people with the best people skills behave EQ over IQ

CONFIDENTIAL Bond ’ s Rules

CONFIDENTIAL Your best customers may buy nothing Heavy users Heavy influencers

CONFIDENTIAL Hide the branding Product stories People Stories

Lose the Logo CONFIDENTIAL 1. Logos say commercial message and immediate drop off of audience engagement 2. Earned media views drop by 3x if content is over 1 minute (file size is significantly larger which provides a tremendous barrier to entry for user interaction/ mashups/ responses, etc) 3. Abbreviate created video to under 1 minute for 'snackability' 4. Request owned channels integration of code into their video player so we can embed it elsewhere and amplify viral spread 5. Seed social videos prior to promotion launch to increase reach 6. Create social video specifically for social audience

CONFIDENTIAL “ Control ” destroys credibility “ Perfection ” Humanity

CONFIDENTIAL Don ’ t make anything until you know someone wants to distribute it Make Distribute

CONFIDENTIAL You can ’ t buy “ Like ” Not all likes are equal Likes can be one of the bridges between social and business metrics Grade all actions (not just likes) to establish a social engagement index

CONFIDENTIAL Be transparent with intentions and your identity or you may alienate the very audiences you ’ re trying to connect to. Today ’ s audiences are smart and will see through any thinly veiled marketing message.

Leverage Influencers to boost reach & interaction

CONFIDENTIAL Quantify & Segment Influencers by Value
Top Advancers Just Made The List
Losers Off Radar

CONFIDENTIAL Make social search friendly. Consumers exposed to brand's social media content are 2.8X more likely to search on that brands terms. Consumers exposed to brand social media are 1.7 time more likely to search with the intention of making a purchase. Overall brands reported a 50% lift in click through rates from consumer exposed to both social and paid search.

CONFIDENTIAL Content is Perishable Videos peak far earlier than they did two years ago. Back in 2008, for instance, it took two weeks for a video to get half of its 90-day view total, whereas today it only takes six days. Similarly, a video in 2008 took 44 days to hit 75% of its total views, and today it only takes 20 days.

CONFIDENTIAL Engage before the Launch: Create programs for online and offline (local) communities and seeded within social channels prior campaign launch.

CONFIDENTIAL Start by creating a social measurement framework using these four pillars

CONFIDENTIAL A social target is different from your traditional audience and has different behaviors.

Taught you something you didn ’ t know
It made you laugh
Presented information in a brilliant way
Made your life easier
Provided inspiration
Applied to something happening IRL
Reminded you of something important
Surprised/shocked you
Made you feel good (happiness, belonging, nostalgia)
Gave me status
Made your life in some way better
Shocked you with amazing statistic
It ’ s newsworthy
CONFIDENTIAL What to share in B-to-C What to share in B-to-B • Validated facts and stats • Methodologies, analysis and hypothesis • Diagrams and process models • Hot off the press content that ’ s totally new • Great apps, services and tools • Reports, surveys and points of view • How to guides • Insightful interviews, articles • Games and challenges Create content to match the needs of the audience

CONFIDENTIAL Know the drop out rates when creating videos. When making custom content for the Web, 1:00 to 1:30 is the sweet spot in terms of length - longer or shorter loses viewers faster

CONFIDENTIAL Each tab should have only one call-to-action. More than one call-to-action causes inaction.

CONFIDENTIAL Make buttons easy to find. Use color and contrast.

CONFIDENTIAL Post 12 informational tweets for every sales oriented tweet. Don ’ t spam the audience with your marketing messages.

CONFIDENTIAL Thank your audience for retweeting your tweets Social media etiquette mirrors real world etiquette.

CONFIDENTIAL Made-for-web video drives more purchase/intent than repurposed commercials. According to Dynamic Logic and Tube Mogul, made-for-web videos have more impact on consideration particularly for 18-34 year olds and women.

CONFIDENTIAL Use Foursquare as a “ digital loyalty card ” Some businesses have started to use Foursquare as a “ digital loyalty card ” to track users who visit their stores.

CONFIDENTIAL Many companies, like Starbucks , reward their mayors with discounts and freebies. It encourages additional sharing, competition and bragging rights. Reward your mayors.

CONFIDENTIAL
Keep posts short and sweet: posts with a maximum of 80 characters have 27% higher engagement rates
Direct requests work most effectively:
If you want feedback:
- ASK “ Where, when, would you, and should you ”
- DON ’ T ASK “ Why? ” This question has the lowest rates for both ‘ likes ’ and comments and can be perceived as challenging.
If you want to start a conversation:
- ASK fans to “ post ” , “ comment ” , or “ tell ” you something.
Placement of question is important:
Posts that end with a question (rather than having it at the beginning or middle) have a 15% higher engagement rate.

Don ’ t bet on lightning. CONFIDENTIAL Source: Jeff Bullas Remember less than 1% of all videos on YouTube get 1 million views.

CONFIDENTIAL Don ’ t try this at home- it takes months to properly train a brand channel manager

Conversation is the king, content is it ’ s queen. CONFIDENTIAL

CONFIDENTIAL Thank You Audience !
