CONSUMER-DRIVEN MARKETING
                RELIES ON PEOPLE
                  SHARING STUFF

            ABOUT YOUR BRAND
             WITH THEIR FRIENDS.



    WHY IN THE WORLD
         WOULD THEY
             DO THAT?




                                   22
1   A DESIRE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.




                                      23
2   A DESIRE TO BELONG.




                          24

A DESIRE

4
    A DESIRE TO BE NAUGHTY.




                              26

                28
THE DEGREE TO WHICH PEOPLE SHARE
YOUR STUFF BOILS DOWN TO ONE
SIMPLE QUESTION:


DOES THE BENEFIT
OF SHARING
OUTWEIGH THE RISK?
                                   29
WELL,   DOES IT?

                   30
IN SUMMARY,
HERE’S OUR VERY SIMPLE FORMULA
FOR CONSUMER-DRIVEN MARKETING SUCCESS.




                                    31
1   STOP TRYING TO
    SPREAD VIRUSES.



                    IN FACT,
                  GO WASH
               YOUR HANDS
                RIGHT NOW.


                               32
2   CREATE STUFF THAT PEOPLE
    WILL WANT TO SHARE.
               NOT BECAUSE YOU THINK IT’S SUPER CLEVER,
                   BUT BECAUSE IT CATERS TO ONE OF THE
                SIX REASONS PEOPLE SHARE STUFF ONLINE.




                                                      33
3             THINK OF YOUR TARGET
              AUDIENCE AS “FANS,”
              NOT “CONSUMERS.”
               TREAT THEM ACCORDINGLY.

4       ENABLE, ENCOURAGE,
        & REWARD SHARING.




MAKE IT INSANELY EASY. MAKE IT ABSURDLY FUN.
LET PEOPLE COLLABORATE, TINKER, EXPERIMENT,
REMIX, REPURPOSE, RECYCLE, AND REINVENT.
GIVE YOUR FANS (& FUTURE FANS) A WAY TO GET
SOME SKIN IN THE GAME.

  • 13. MOUNTAIN DEW MOUNTAIN DEW KICKED OFF THE FIRST DEWMOCRACY CAMPAIGN BY LETTING FANS DESIGN NEW DEW FLAVORS AND PACKAGING. NOW, WITH DEWMOCRACY 2, THE CONSUMER-DRIVEN MARKETING EFFORT HAS FANS SUBMITTING, VOTING ON, & ULTIMATELY SELECTING AND CREATING MOUNTAIN DEW’S NEW TV ADS.

  • 18. VIRAL MARKETING VS. CONSUMER-DRIVEN MARKETING •  ASSUMES PEOPLE ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROMOTION PROCESS; MORE “FANS” THAN CONSUMERS. •  ASSUMES PEOPLE ARE PASSIVE “HOSTS” WHO HAVE NO CHOICE •  ASSUMES CONTENT MUST NOT BUT TO PASS ON YOUR MARKETING ONLY BE SHARE-ABLE, BUT ALSO ONCE CONTAMINATED. HIGHLY SHARE-WORTHY. •  ASSUMES THE MARKETING ITSELF •  REQUIRES A DEEP UNDERSTANDING IS SELF-REPLICATING. OF HOW AND WHY PEOPLE SHARE STUFF (AND A WILLINGNESS TO PUT •  REQUIRES THE USE OF TALKING THOSE MOTIVATIONS FRONT AND BABIES, CUTE BABY ANIMALS, CENTER). HALF-NAKED HOTTIES, &/OR MAGIC PIXIE DUST TO SUCCEED… BUT MOSTLY MAGIC PIXIE DUST. 18
  • 19. YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO WAKE UP WITH YOUR HEAD SEWN TO THE CARPET THAN TO SEE YOUR NEXT MARKETING CAMPAIGN “GO VIRAL.” 19
  • 20. UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A STASH OF MAGICAL PIXIE DUST. 20
  • 21. CONSUMER-DRIVEN MARKETING RELIES ON PEOPLE SHARING STUFF  ABOUT YOUR BRAND WITH THEIR FRIENDS. 21

  • 27. 5 A DESIRE TO BE RECOGNIZED. 27
  • 28. 6 A DESIRE TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. 28

  • 30. WELL, DOES IT? 30
  • 31. IN SUMMARY, HERE’S OUR VERY SIMPLE FORMULA FOR CONSUMER-DRIVEN MARKETING SUCCESS. 31
  • 32. 1 STOP TRYING TO SPREAD VIRUSES. IN FACT, GO WASH YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW. 32
