The document discusses the evolution and importance of social media marketing, highlighting that effective strategies focus on community engagement rather than traditional mass media exposure. It explores the idea of logarithmic fame through social interactions and critiques the outdated AIDA model of marketing. Successful social media campaigns, such as those by Apple and Home Depot, are identified as examples of services designed for customer needs rather than merely generating conversation.

5. Our insight:
Fame driven by doing things for the community.
Not by exposure in mass media.

6. Our realization:
Fame can be logarithmic.
15 people each tell 15 people and so on...

11. Marketing is about doing things for people.
Not about saying things to them.

12. Social media is a place to do things for customers.
Not just another place to say things to them.

13. The Vitrue 100 Social Media Index.
Designed to capture a brand’s share of voice on the social web.
The Vitrue SMI calculates scores about the brand’s social conversations. We apply a series of algorithms to
reflect the frequency of usage, the size of the social media environment, and the magnitude of the
conversation. The result is a single numeric score for each brand: the Vitrue Social Media Index (SMI).

16. Apple is proof that transparency and two-way dialogue
aren’t essential to “social” success.

17. Apple is proof that if you deliver more value
you will be more “social.”

23. They are smart uses of social media and smart ties to
the communities on each platform.

24. They are not designed to generate conversation.

25. They are services, not communications.

36. They are built on social technology.

37. More importantly, they are built on an understanding of
what our customers are trying to do.

38. We measured the results by how much business they
generated not by how much buzz.

39. Is it too early for some theory?

41. Social media marketing
built on AIDA model.
Action is a result of awareness, interest and desire.

42. AIDA is a product of
communications.
It’s a relic of a time when marketing’s most powerful
lever was mass communications.

43. Andrew Ehrenberg
“Of the thousand and one variables which might
affect buyer behaviour, it is found that nine hundred
and ninety-nine usually do not matter. Many aspects
of buyer behaviour can be predicted simply from the
penetration and the average purchase frequency of
the item, and even these two variables are
interrelated.”

“We think we have to change minds in order to
change behaviour (in fact, the opposite is true).”
© Zeus Jones 2007

45. Changing our behavior changes how we think.

46. Social media marketing is another attempt to change
how we think.

47. Social media for marketers is a tool for
changing behavior.

48. Thank you.
