Consider the following statements: true or false?
• Brand managers own and orchestrate their brands.
• Phones are for making phone calls.
• The Web is for finding information.
• Companies use marketing communications to control their
message.
• Consumers purchase products promoted by marketers
• Providing a forum for customers to talk is dangerous and
risky.
Marketing Myths Revealed
• Active consumers vs. Passive consumers
• “Consumers increasingly use digital media not just to
research products and services, but to engage the
companies they buy from, as well as other consumers
who may have valuable insights.” (Garretson, 2008).
• Web 2.0 interactive model (consumers are simultaneously
the initiators and recipients of information exchanges)
• Social media has fundamentally altered marketing’s
ecosystem of influence.
Empowered Customers (Mangold & Faulds, 2009)
• Social media = consumer-generated media
• Social media enables companies to talk to their
customers, and it also enables customers to talk to one
another (extension of traditional word-of-mouth).
• “Consumers are in control, they have greater access to
information and greater command over media
consumption than ever before.” (Vollmer & Precourt,
2008, Always On).

greater than desktop (Smart Insights, 2015).

• Location-based richness.
• Mobile commerce (4 out of 5 people use their mobile
phones to shop, e.g., Apple Pay)
• Ability to capture the moment.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Traditional media is all about reach, while social media marketing is about influence and engagement.
  • #4 Traditional media: one way communication, passive consumers Digital media: two way communication, active consumers. Consumers can talk to brands directly and can also talk to other consumers.
  • #5 Conventional marketing wisdom has long held that a dissatisfied customer tells ten people. But that is out of date. In the new age of social media, he or she has the tools to tell 10 million consumers virtually overnight. --- Gillin (2007) The New Influencers Consumers’ ability to communicate with one another limits the amount of control companies have over the content and dissemination of information. Companies need to adapt to this new communication model, the digital media ecosystem.
  • #7 Platforms for influence – Top global social media MAU – source: we are social
  • #13 Owned media (controlled by the marketer) Paid media (bought by the marketer) Earned media (not controlled or bought by the marketer) Creators (publish, maintain, upload) Critics (comment, rate) Collectors (save, share) Joiners (connect, unite) Spectators (read)
  • #14 t’s important that your social networks aren’t just a place for you to blast information out to your audience. People connect with you on different networks for different reasons. The best way to figure out what type of content your audience is most interested in is to do tests. Keep an eye on your key engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares, retweets, clicks, etc). These provide insight into which type of content is working, what’s not, and what you could be doing differently to improve your strategy. Stuck for content ideas? This cheat sheet can help.
  • #18 People love to see original video content that is fun and sharable. It shouldn’t be so obviously promotional from the start. People should want to share it simply because it is amazing! This video content ultimately connects to all the other social media platforms you are working with and benefits strategy and marketing as a whole. It might even go viral. Dollar Shave Club is a great example of video content that went viral thanks to excellent social media marketing!
  • #19 Need to be familiar with three types of media, owned, paid, and earned, and five types of social influences, creators, critics, collectors, joiners, and spectators. A company should conceptualize and develop its own version of the social media ecosystem. What to measure? Need to have quantifiable goals! Brand affinity (e.g., sales), and also sales conversion which indicates brand lift and brand engagement. The story can be a new product, a new service, a new relationship, or an overall theme (the Grammy Awards theme was We’re all fans). Social media is about users and being connected to other users; it is not about significant investments in expensive production and media. You need to be clear about what is owned and what is available for free, and take advantage of them. People can be easily bored by the huge amount of information on social media. You need to bring a hint of “uniqueness” and “authenticity” and customize user engagement.
