consumers want more
participation and even control
relationships with media are more complex than ever
we want to do business with a person
expectations
are higher
there’s no such thing as perfect
attention is the new scarcity
the MP3 is good enough
So
what is the future of advertising?
it ain’t   an ad
then
now
the consumer
  used to watch
now
she creates
she takes control
she possesses
        new power
this is a brand
       This is a brand
marketing plans
 as we know them
are dead
this is a new way to
    build a brand
advertising told stories
Social media is about getting
others to tell our stories for us
what is creative?
It’s about inspiring
customers to write and
create those stories with
us.
audience or community?
Art of the Trench
Social media invites the consumer to
become the story.
how do I get you to care about my brand?
how does my brand prove it cares about you?
social media is really about relationships
listen
engage
inspire
build
mobilize
relationship
strategy
tactics
timetable
analytics
social media analysis construct

Everything Is Social

Editor's Notes

  1. Not a lot new in this presentation, but a modified version of previous content for presentation to Mullen clients regarding social media trends, consumer behavior, and what brands are and can be doing.
  2. Numbers. Every presentation needs some numbers. Proves that what you’re talking about is significant. And yes, social media spending, from paid to organic is growing.
  3. The equivalent of 86,000 full length Hollywood feature films are uploaded to YouTube weekly. Facebook is fifth largest country in world. Twitter up. Lots of people blog. Get it. The consumer is participating, generating content, sharing, distributing, being the medium.
  4. The seven trends as I see them.
  5. From fan pages to blogs to Twitter to communities to rants to comments.
  6. Still love this.
  7. Branson, Jobs, Hsieh, even Frank from Comcast and the guys and women on Twelpforce.
  8. Don’t f*&^ with me or I’ll tweet you up.
  9. What, you think one insight and one campaign message work in a world where we can’t even agree on a spaghetti sauce?
  10. No one has time for your message. Too busy creating their own.
  11. Fast, portable, accessible. That’s the new definition of quality.
  12. No one really knows.
  13. But this is for sure.
  14. Remember this? The great Maxell ad?
  15. What side of the camera are you on?
  16. A brand makes a spot.
  17. A day later the consumer version is on YouTube.
  18. Old story but still a good one.
  19. You wanna negotiate?
  20. No, he’s not a used car salesman. He may be the new best example of how to build a business.
  21. Video camera, folding table, honest content = $80 million business.
  22. Campfire deserves all the awards.
  23. Who needs mainstream media when there are bloggers and videographers to spread the word. Learn how to connect, engage and inspire them.
  24. A roach coach and a Twitter account (and a decent bbq sauce) are all it takes to busild a business.
  25. HP makes some spots.
  26. But who’s really going to tell the story.
  27. That’s right, we are. Check out You on You.
  28. Yes, the content needs to be good, and people do like entertainment, but think of them as a medium, not just an audience.
  29. And don’t forget the value of embed code.
  30. Don’t know how successful, but a cool idea.
  31. Because it thinks in terms of a customer’s relationship to media and content not just to a category and brand. And it realizes that in social you product isn’t your product, it’s your content.
  32. Take the easy way out, get your consumer to do the work. They want to anyway.
  33. Looks like an ad, right?
  34. Nope. It’s really just the beginning of a conversation. An invitation to talk, share, engage. And for the brand a chance to listen.
  35. Love this. http://artofthetrench.com
  36. If you need convincing, check out how many times people share and pass stuff around.
  37. Even better, let your community BE the story.
  38. A microsite, but...
  39. ...a platform that helps workers find jobs.
  40. Consumers create, share, pass along and join in the donation of money to Feeding America. The Bread Art Project
  41. Dunkin’ helps its customers look good to their friends and sells more coffee in the process.
  42. What’s a presentation without something from Nike.
  43. Crowdsourcing is everywhere.
  44. Our online magazine written by Gen Y. It gives young writers a chance to develop a voice. It offers us an experiment and lesson in crowdsourcing. It gives brands access and insight to their future and current community of Millennials. http://thenextgreatgeneration.com
  45. Big news.
  46. Not sure this really lines up with the brand’s persona, but it’s a big idea. And it says that community matters to every brand.
  47. Used to say: Good advertising tells you what a product does and why you should buy it. Great advertising expresses what a brand stands for and invites you to share in its beliefs.
  48. Not anymore. Now it’s about your beliefs and whether I (the brand) cares about you. (Thank you Big Spaceship’s Michael Liebowitz for this thought.)
  49. The best expression of what WOM is all about.
  50. So even if you use social to “broadcast,” show that you are helping your customers. What you do matters more than what you say. This is the Albion bakery thing.
  51. The video, if it works here.
  52. Shows they listened.
  53. Trying to be real people and respond in real time. Doesn’t always work as well as the concept, but still good.
  54. You and your customer.
  55. What we do, how we approach it. Note the first two are what all SM types say. We think brands need to also do the latter three. This is business, right?
  56. You still need a strategy, tactics, timetable (forever) and measurement.
  57. Among the many things we measure.
