A Paradigm shift?

Marketing and Branding will change…
Panasonic completed a
campaign called the Next
Generation Talent competition,
which asked UK students to
design the next ad for the
Panasonic Viera Home Hub
television.

Crowdsourcing is like Tom Sawyer asking his friends
to paint the fence

And so will Product Development…
Forty percent of
consumer community
members offer
suggestions that
solve urgent
problems
Fifteen percent of
those suggestions are
considered to be a
completely new
product

And political campaigns…
5,000,000
The number of active Obama supporters across 15 social networks

It works as a distribution channel too…
A number of organizations are starting to get their brand advocates
to sell their products

How can brands effectively tell their story
in social media?
It must be entertaining! That is why the users
are there.
Brands must seamlessly integrate with the story
or purpose of the media;
Brand message gets through, but doesn’t whack them on the head
What’s in it for me? - Reward them for their
action
