Great slide capture of some of the key players so far
By committing to the program for one year, the Insiders agreed to: Participate in Intel-focused events throughout the year for education purposes Provide feedback on Intel’s social media activities so that Intel could develop best practices In return, the Insiders would receive special “inside” access to Intel embargoed news, executive dialogues, exclusive events and visibility on Intel social web properties. We continuously engaged them with the brand by publicly disclosing that we were seeding them the latest Intel-powered devices on the market, consulting them for advice and feedback prior to most major online community engagements, and integrating them into Intel campaigns.
The Gurus are the cornerstone of Clickable’s marketing strategy. Clickable charged the Gurus with patrolling online search-marketing communities like Google AdWords, WebMasterWorld, and Microsoft adCenter. In addition, the Gurus submitted a weekly cutting-edge lesson to the Official Clickable Blog, and answered customer questions in Clickable Forums. After a year of service and evangelism, the Gurus have made a measurable impact on Clickable’s bottom line: The program drove a 400% increase in new monthly ad spend on the Clickable Platform versus the previous year. This is significant because Clickable’s business model is to charge 5% of total spend managed. The company’s board of directors has committed to indefinite investment and continuation of the program.

This session will focus on the new realities of public relations in the emerging bottom-up world. The assumption is that influence patterns are changing and that individual experts, using various online tools of expression, are increasingly defining the business agenda and the priorities for mainstream media. We look at how to interact with these people - most of whom who don't meet the traditional media profile - how to optimize their influence and audiences and how to measure results. less
