THE NEO-HIPPIE

Is there more at stake than just some three-huggers?
Yes. It’s about hippies acting in an open market space. They don’t bother that much yet.
Neo-hippies get what they need from each other. They are autonomous but connected. They
are tech-savvy and deploy tech in their advantage. Everything they do has a purpose.
REVIVAL OF HIPPIE
IDEALISTS THAT SAVE TIME & MONEY AT THE SAME TIME?

BACK-2-BASICS MARKETING
People are no longer passive consumers. They are empowered. They get what they
need from each other. They are becoming an industry: empowered by tech (social,
mobile, IoT) and self-organizing. If you want to be successful as an organization, you
need to align with this “revival of the hippie” trend.
B2B MARKETING
B2B STANDS FOR BACK-TO-BASICS, BECAUSE ANYWAY B2B AND
B2C ARE IRRELEVANT TERMS. IT’S ALL ABOUT PEER TO PEER,
PEOPLE TO PEOPLE, HUMAN TO HUMAN, HIPPIE TO HIPPIE.
BACK 2 BASICS MARKETING IS YOUR ANSWER.
CORPORATE HIPPIES
Hippies, hate them or love them, but they are great people. They’ll always do good for
their environments (people, planet, …). In short: they are pretty much still thinking and
acting like cave men. In order to be a hippie, be a cave men. With all respect!
CORPORATE HIPPIE MARKETING
Back-to-Basics on all 4 traditional P’s
BACK-2-BASICS MARKETING
B2B MARKETING

•  CRAPPY PRODUCTS DON’T SURVIVE
•  CO-CREATED, CO-FINANCED, COMMUNITY SELLING
•  PRODUCTS AS A SERVICE (rent, subscribe, trade for other service, …)
•  RE-USABLE (maybe for a different purpose)
•  OPEN SOURCE, OPEN DATA PRODUCTS
•  TRUSTED, VALUABLE & WITH PURPOSE
•  PRODUCT USER EXPERIENCE IS KEY
Place:

TECHNOLOGY ENABLES TO SHARE LOCAL & GLOBAL
• 

LOCAL IS GLOBAL & GLOBAL IS LOCAL

•

Promotion:

Service is key! Generate ambassadors.
B2B COMMUNICATION

CONTENT & STORIES AT EVERY STAGE IN THE CUSTOMER
JOURNEY.
