MarketingSherpa Summit was filled with real-world case studies from your peers. This webinar provides an opportunity to step outside your day-to-day role and ask big questions like, “Where do I want to take my organization, department or individual career?” — and learn how to transform your organization and career with customer-first marketing philosophies.
To help you do that, we’ve invited a pioneering researcher focused on reinventing advertising and marketing. In this webinar, Catharine Hays — the executive director of The Wharton Future of Advertising Program and co-author of “Beyond Advertising: Creating Value Through All Customer Touchpoints” — will share her research into customer-first marketing with over 200 thought leaders in marketing, technology, cultural anthropology and other disciplines from 22 countries.
In this webinar, you will learn:
The five forces of change affecting marketing and advertising
Insights, ideas and frameworks for adapting to how mobile technology has changed brands relationships with customers
How to challenge entrenched mental models of email and mobile marketing and advertising, including example pioneering customer-first marketers are taking
Why the Brand Idea Still Matters in the Age of Social Mediajcsmyers
A brand, wrote Stephen King in 1971, “has to be a coherent totality, not a lot of bits.” The founder of JWT’s planning department knew that brands are most effective when all their elements come together as a single unique personality. What would King make of today’s fragmented world of marketing where communication is delivered quite literally in bits: a Facebook comment, a 140-character Tweet, a Pinterest image.
The driver for this is, of course, social media. In every sector of society where individuals and organizations interact, social media has emerged as a disruptive force. While the benefits of social media to marketers are many – opening a two-way dialogue with consumers, influencing word-of-mouth, building rich stores of data – the challenges for brands can’t be ignored. In particular, brands must consider how to tell a coherent story across a growing array of platforms and amid a cacophony of consumer and competitor voices.
How can marketers take advantage of all that social media offers while protecting the integrity of the central brand idea? Is it even realistic that one idea can support conversations with millions of consumers across hundreds of platforms in multiple formats? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Given the demands of the today’s media landscape, it’s never been more important for all marketing efforts to be unified under a powerful brand idea.
John Bell examines the fundamental shift of social media on consumer behavior – and how adapting to it and profiting from it require an enterprise-level strategy.

Future of advertising: Agency as a platformAjinkya Pawar
Advertising is dead. Long live Advertising.
Advertising agency business model as we know it, is dead. Dwindling margins, frequent pitches, FB, Google & consultancies stealing growth from WPP, Publicis and other holding companies... The business is obviously broken.
Here's my idea to fix it.
Earlier, I had written about this idea here - https://truthaboutbranding.com/2016/12/14/the-advertising-agencies-of-future-will-be-open-sourced/

China is considered home to the world's factories, manufacturing everything from zippers to photovoltaic cells and with its population of over 1.3 billion and booming economy, consumerism is on the rise, too. But lets peak into the hidden layer of China's unique blend of creativity and tech innovation. There's the Shanzhai phenomenon - unique to China but even more interesting is looking at how Chinese consumers use technology differently, creating and combining platforms to suit the demands of a generation bred on instant gratification and constant connectivity.

The Reputation Complex - Navigating the Blur in a Liquid WorldMSL
The 'Reputation Complex' is a moving combination of various reputational factors, components and drivers that are linked in a close and complicated way. This combination brings with it, for all organizations, equal risks and opportunities – the first to be managed and the second to be exploited in the right manner.
MSLGROUP's SVP and Chief Strategy Officer, Pascal Beculer shares his thoughts on the fast transformation of Reputation Management, everywhere in the world, and what it means for our clients and for us.
Each year, Directions takes an in-depth look at an area of sustainability and communications. This time, we’re delving into the quite sizeable gap that still exists between business and society. It’s not the void that interests us so much as the question of how it can be shrunk.
How do we move from just minding the gap to actually mending the gap?

The New Viral: Effective, Not Just InfectiveBen Grossman
Subservient Chicken. Old Spice Guy. Real Beauty Sketches. They’re the stuff of viral video and marketing legend.
But where does that leave viral marketing today? Surprisingly abandoned. According to Google search data, interest in viral marketing has decreased by 80% since 2004.
Meanwhile, efficacy has evolved into a central focus for marketers who were once simply concerned with view counts and eyeballs. 86% of marketing leaders admit that their content marketing is only somewhat effective at creating business value. It’s the dawn of The New Viral – a digital and content marketing approach focused more on being effective than simply infective, while still making the most of organic spread.
STRATEGIC CONCEPTS IN FESTIVE AND TẾT SEASON - 2021Perry Cao
Busy business owners, marketers and advertisers are loading more than 200% efforts in THIS periods of time. Diversified reports, researches and complex information are overloading their minds to be outstanding in the competitive season. I hope you guys are managing things well.
In the recent uncertainty, I believe that we have better assumptions to what should be done, from Strategies to Implementations, for the Festive & TET.
In March, you guys planned for the whole year of circumstances and next pages of business in 2021. However, the spacing blank in your strategies with top-line ideas might be confusing you at the moment because the changing behaviours and uncertainties are still right in front of us, daily.
I am having in depth observation, talks, questions & seeing my connections as well as their connections in the daily life. I would love to share again what is basically described in TET & Festive Season in Vietnam. Hope the Strategic Concepts, ( I assume you might known them before, but in differently situational thoughts) help your business someways.
Enjoy the Read and please feel free to contact me for further relevant discussion if any.

The consumerization of B2B technology is dramatically changing how decision-makers research, discover and engage with peers in their journey. During this keynote presentation, author, digital anthropologist and Altimeter Group principal analyst Brian Solis, will uncover the innovative strategies B2B brands are implementing to better adapt to the increasingly complex and cross-channel decision-making experience. Using his own research, analysis and experience with B2B companies as a baseline, Brian will share his perspectives and real life examples of how B2B brands can:
-Understand new disruptions in the modern decision-making journey
-Humanize the B2B buying experience using more emotive and personalized approaches
-How information and peer-insights have evolved in key touch-points
-Help buyers manage risk in the selection process

Which is the right channel to reach a customer?
For a long time buying goods has taken place via the two main channels: the website of the retailer and/or the traditional retail sales point. It all used to be so simple as separate channel managers, separate channel-targeted segments, channel-aligned products, customers asked to deal with specific channels etc.
Nevertheless things have changed to date. New interactive features are provided on Websites to reach consumers, for example the possibility to try the product virtually and to achieve customised recommendations while mobile channels form the new mainstream of universal shopping, always and anywhere, via the mobile device. There is a rapid increase in the number of channels that enable users to freely access and compare, choose and buy products. Past studies indicate that customers participate more transactions in the new multichannel scenario as opposed to single-channel buyers (Dholakia et al., 2005, Seck and Philippe, 2013).
Omni-distribution channel is defined as using everything manufacturer/retailer have to gain, provide seamless, integrated and unified experience to retain customers.
Omni-distribution channel is about developing customer relations, but it has various challenges. Studies by Ogden-Barnes & Lowther (2012) on Australian retailing decision-making show that customers are lost due to inconsistent communication across various distribution channels during the first engagement phase of Omni-channel. The Kana Company research on Omni channel in 2013 sums up few Omni-channel drawbacks: the retailers face a fuzz in understanding the definition, mission and location of Omni channel in their organisation.
The omni-distribution channel is still in its infant stages, and its evangelization needs to be accelerated as it has enormous benefits that do not stand up to its dares.
The example of retail banking
Retail banking provides financial services for individuals and family
The three most important functions are:
Credit
Deposit
Money management
First of all retail banks offer consumers credit to buy homes, cars, and furniture.
Include mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.
Yet multichannel marketing is more complicated than it might seem. Industries often multiply their channels ...

Monthly Social Media News Update May 2024Andy Lambert
TL;DR. These are the three themes that stood out to us over the course of last month.
1️⃣ Social media is becoming increasingly significant for brand discovery. Marketers are now understanding the impact of social and budgets are shifting accordingly.
2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.
3️⃣ Collaboration will help us unlock growth. Who we work with will define how fast we grow. Meta continues to evolve their Creator Marketplace and now TikTok are beginning to push ‘collabs’ more too.

https://www.marketingsherpa.com/freestuff/customer-first-studySource:
11. Managing Director, CMO Program
Deloitte
“Most people want a company to provide value to them and don’t
want to feel ‘marketed’ to in the process. The feeling of being
marketed to, which is all too prevalent in 1:1 marketing today,
gives a feeling of inauthenticity, which gives the feeling that the
company doesn’t have the customer’s best interest.”
12. Founder and CEO,
United Worldwide LLC
“Today, it's not just about customer-centric marketing, but also
customer-centric products. If good enough, the product is a
marketing channel in itself. Take Tesla, for example. A brand that
spends no marketing dollars and yet performs well and has a super
engaged fan base because their mission to create the greatest car ever is
so inherent to everything they do (no dealerships, constant innovation). ”
13. Satisfied customers
were three times
more likely to say the
company often or
always puts their needs
before its business
goals than unsatisfied
customers.
14. “Marketers may be best served by thinking about their audience not as customers, but as
members, like we do as a nonprofit and professional association. It’s a small but impactful
perspective change.
We have to convince an individual to repeatedly buy into our organization’s core mission, which
means our very existence depends on delivering meaningful value in every interaction. Our
members and, by extension, a for-profit company’s paying customers become the lifeblood of all
marketing efforts, so it only makes sense to consider how a marketer is serving their interests —
and solving their problems — before planning any marketing or product initiative. Those insights
can only be gained from frequent conversations and a deep understanding of what customers
need, want and will want in the future.”
Managing Director, Services Delivery
and CMO, CFA Institute
15. “Just as customers engage brands in many channels, customer-first brands engage
their customers holistically across all channels with personalized
experiences. The other brands are sheep being slaughtered by their customers.
The cost-first mentality creates the endless downward spiral toward a
customer-last strategy. The best creative in the world can’t fix broken customer
relationships.”
Smart Communities IoT Ecosystems

16. Q. Of the companies you interact with, how many put your needs before
their own interests in their marketing?
• 92% of customers
have experienced
customer-first
marketing from at
least a few
companies
• 77% of American
consumers think
that many
companies do not
practice-
customer-first
marketing
17. “Marketing can play a huge role, but in today’s siloed world, it’s nearly impossible for the average
CMO to get it done. For instance, in many organizations the CMO is responsible for customer
acquisition, or maybe even just delivering leads to a website or retail location, and someone else,
such as product marketing, is responsible for consummating sales. Customer service or post-sales
support often resides in a third organization. Everyone has different goals and different
compensation structures, and they all follow the money. For instance, if you’re a product
marketer in many B2B companies, your ‘customer’ is actually a sales person, and not the end
user. You can do fantastic things that accrue long-term benefits to your end users, but if your
tactics do not help your sales team hit this quarter’s conversion goal, you’ll be gone in short
order.”
