Evaluating New Opportunities in Digital Media
THE DANGER OF FADS


  Fad [fad]: a temporary fashion, notion, manner
  of conduct, etc., especially one followed
  enthusiastically by a group...

UNDERSTANDING FAB VALUE IN THREE PARTS


            Value to the consumer

              Commercial value

              Value to the brand




3
VALUE TO THE CONSUMER




        What is the consumer benefit?
        How does it fit into people’s lives?
        What is the perceived value or catch?




4
THE VALUE OF UNDERSTANDING WHY - APPLE


“By placing the “why?” at the
center of all that Apple did,
Jobs avoided being defined by
or confined to a particular
product category.

The astonishing financial
growth of Apple reported
byThe Wall Street Journal was
a byproduct, not a driver, of
Jobs’s
decision to serve the ideal of
self-expression.”

Campaigns that really stand out in their use of new media
 have:
• Insight into the consumer needs and benefits from the new
     platform
• Inspired commercial understanding of how this new platform
     works best to drive their brand objectives


The following examples show how this is brought to life.

IN SUMMARY

Avoid busying yourself with trifles by:


Understand why, not what...
                                 from the consumer perspective


Look for the difference...
                                    the opportunity can provide


Optimise the context...
                  to maximise what the new platform does best
