The document discusses the importance of leveraging electronic word of mouth (ewom) among Chinese consumers for ecommerce efforts. It notes that China is a highly complex market and failing to understand customers is a common mistake. It emphasizes that Chinese consumers are passionate brand ambassadors and that authenticity and innovation are key differentiators of success. The conclusion states that China has a fragmented market, a one-size approach does not fit all, and that companies should find what customers care about to help them promote their brand through social media, otherwise competitors will do it for them.

The document discusses trends in digital marketing and fashion platforms. It notes that brands often adopt new platforms without understanding their full reach and impact. It emphasizes the importance of creating useful, branded content and having a creative social media strategy beyond just profiles. Examples are given of successful integrations between online and offline experiences like geo-located scavenger hunts. The conclusion advocates for making digital content useful, being creative on social media, leveraging offline events, and providing opportunities for online consumer interaction.
Fashion is embracing technology and digital trends in various ways:
1) Fashion shows are incorporating interactive digital elements like holograms and mobile apps.
2) Retail brands are using location-based social media to connect with consumers.
3) Fashion students are exploring the intersection of fashion and technology through projects like heels that can assemble in zero gravity.
4) Sites like Kickstarter allow designers to crowdsource funding for projects and involve consumers in the creative process.
This document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and Media 2.0. Web 2.0 refers to emerging cultural practices on the internet where users are increasingly helping to generate content, rather than just consuming it. Media 2.0 is driven by convergence of different media enabled by new technologies, which is lowering barriers for anyone to participate in cultural production and sharing their creations globally through platforms like blogs and podcasts. This democratization of media production is shifting power away from traditional large media companies towards grassroots, citizen-led movements online.

The document summarizes key lessons from the 2012 Cannes Lions advertising festival: Social media usage is now deeply embedded in people's lives. Technology is evolving faster than ever, significantly impacting the advertising industry. Data has become essential, not just desirable. Creatives need to embrace new approaches like "art and code" rather than just "art and copy," prioritizing engagement over consumption. Great content must be at the center of social strategies. The advertising business is being transformed by these rapid changes in consumer behavior and technology.

The first truly digital luxury brand: why Burberry gets it?
With the launch of The Art of the trench, Burberry certainly became the first truly digital luxury brand. The first luxury brand to really understand and adopt digital behaviours to conceive and support its brand online communications. There are many reasons why it became a clear success and digital is certainly one piece of a bigger picture.
Social media has become an important tool for the fashion industry to connect with customers and promote brands. Major fashion brands like Marc Jacobs and Victoria's Secret have seen increases in online traffic, sales, and customer engagement by actively using social media platforms. The industry has embraced strategies like developing mobile apps, encouraging user-generated content, and collaborating with influential fashion bloggers to expand their online and social media presence. During New York Fashion Week, over half of discussions about the events occurred on social media sites like Twitter, with bloggers providing real-time coverage and commentary.

How To: Devise and Present a Social Media Strategy Manal Assaad
This is a sample of a social media strategy I devised for a concept exhibition as a case study to Qatar Museums Authority. It is based on my MBA research (available for download here http://bit.ly/XqxftK) and this was the requirement:
Create a social communication strategy and sample content calendar for an exhibition on Andy Warhol. Imagine that qma is putting on a 4 Month exhibition this year on the highlight pieces from Andy Warhol, pop artist. The challenges are the Qatari community know or care very little about him or his work. Regardless, it has been decided that the exhibition will proceed. The budget for marketing is qr6 million, 1 million is dedicated to social media.
The campaign should consist of a 2 month pre-opening education outreach to get the community to know more about warhol and to motivate them to come and share their interest to others throughout the exhibition lifecycle. You can use a range of resources such as films, pre recorded interviews, images of him and his work, art label descriptions, competitions, outreach, interactives etc. think outside the box and be creative. The target market is Qatari community. There are 4 stages to exhibition communication: 1) pre opening campaign, 2) Opening night, 3) duration of exhibition and 4) pre closing.
If you wish to integrate offline communication such as PR and advertising to show how you would align your online with offline then do so. Demonstrate how you would approach each campaign stage. Your strategy should be realistic and achievable (state all resources required or assumed.)

The document discusses the rise of social media and how people are increasingly active producers and consumers of online content and communities. It notes that virtual communities help brands by increasing customer spending. Social networking sites have grown rapidly in users and are being courted by marketers, though brands must understand the communities to effectively engage in social media.
1) As communication technologies advance, brands must adapt strategies to connect with digital generations in more personalized, media-rich ways that emphasize empathy.
2) The document outlines 10 trends in how digital natives communicate and recommends how brands can engage, such as using augmented reality to "try on" products virtually or leveraging niche social networks to find true influencers.
3) Brands are encouraged to help break consumers out of social media filter bubbles, incorporate humor and personality into interactions including AI assistants, and take action on social issues in an empathetic way that sparks dialogue.

The document discusses how technology and social shifts have led to the socialization of marketing. Traditional purchase funnels have been disrupted as consumers now have more power and influence over brands. Marketing has shifted from a paradigm of dictation to dialogue, with technology enabling deeper brand awareness through consumer conversations across many touchpoints. Successful brands will participate in market conversations across social networks and platforms to build communities and loyalty.
The document discusses 11 ways that digital technologies will shape the music industry in 2013, including: 1) Copyright laws being challenged by digital copying abilities; 2) Niche music genres and artists finding new audiences through the "Long Tail" effect; and 3) Artists needing to engage and brand themselves to build loyal fanbases across multiple digital channels like social media, mobile apps, and streaming services.
Technology is transforming the fashion industry, with augmented and virtual reality being used in innovative ways at NYFW 2018. Some designers used these technologies to enhance runway shows, while others opted for interactive digital presentations instead of live shows. Social media has also become integral, allowing brands to connect with consumers and partners. Data insights are increasingly influential on production and marketing strategies, with tools like an app at one show providing instant feedback on the most popular styles.
