According to a February 2008 study from Peppercom client  TNS media intelligence/Cymfony: -Nearly 50 percent of senior marketing executives believe social media “is a vital component of corporate communications.” -Companies leading in using social media primarily see these outlets primarily as a venue for listening to consumer viewpoints, while companies taking a more cautious approach to social media see it mainly as a tool for viral marketing and online video. The Future of Digital Media Lies In: 1.) Access to Unfiltered Customer Insight 2.) The Ability to Encourage and Facilitate “Word-of-Mouth” Proselytizing Harnessing Influence
When Asked the Main Goal(s) of Their Companies’ Digital Programs, Respondents to the Peppercom/ PR News  Survey Said:
Survey respondents indicated that the need for improving digital communications is currently a low priority in the overall marketing budget:
Among the 65 percent of respondents who felt confident in making predictions for their 2008 marketing strategy, the vast majority felt that digital will play a more strategic  marketing role in 2008.
Among the 83% of respondents who felt they could forecast their company’s  digital marketing budget, only 8% of respondents expected a significant increase in that budget, despite the overwhelming belief that digital will play a more strategic role in 2008.
The Biggest Barriers to Implementing a Social Media Plan: 1.) Lack of Commitment Among Senior Management 2.) A Lack of Best Practices 3.) A Lack of Leadership from Marketing and PR Firms in the Digital Space Harnessing Influence
Learning from Others’ Mistakes Astroturfing:  The attempt to make a marketing campaign seem grassroots through a lack of transparency in admitting corporate ties. Wal-Marting Across America
Gee Whiz Factor:  The momentary attraction of participating in a new trend or technology because it’s currently considered as innovative, without giving thought as to the motivation behind the offering. Learning from Others’ Mistakes Facebook Widgets Second Life
The Importance of Best Practices Transparency:  Anyone marketing in the digital space must take great care to be completely open about their marketing initiatives and any other underlying circumstances which, if discovered by users without being made explicit by  marketers, might appear dishonest. For instance, WOMMA members pledge to  be wholly transparent in all attempts to promote content online. As a blogger myself, I always strive to make explicit the connection with partner companies at any point I write about any of their properties.

Sentiment Monitoring Through online venues ranging from chat rooms and blogs to websites, the Esuvee Safety Campaign promoted general safety education and rollover prevention. Conversations in these venues were constantly monitored for community reactions.
Five Guiding Principles Businesses  Need to Live By In a Digital World   1.) Local Is Now Global. 2.) Understand the Population. 3.) Adjust for Users. 4.) Create an Open Forum for Conversation. 5.) If You Put Yourself Out There, You Have to Live with the Good and the Bad.
Local Is Now Global
Understand the Population Moron Publicist of the Month: KFC’s Flack READ MORE:  Publicists, food, press releases, public relations  This is why people hate publicists. Now, as people who have at least a glancing familiarity with this website, you probably realize that giveaway offers by national fast-food chains do not, typically, fall within our coverage area. One would expect even the soulless flacks responsible for publicizing giveaway offers by national fast-food chains to be aware of this. (True, we once wrote about an earlier stupid KFC gimmick, but that was only to lambaste the chain for appropriating Office Space for its nefarious purposes.) But they’re not. While we understand that junior-level PR people have to send out releases to whole big lists of media, and so we try to simply ignore them — rather than get mad at them, or taunt them — when they send us silly, irrelevant things like news about giveaway offers by national fast-food chains, sometimes that becomes impossible. Especially with the imbeciles who do press for our old pals KFC. Who have recently taken to hounding us.  Like with this email, which arrived yesterday: From:  Smulyan, Brandon  To:  tips@gawker.com  Sent:  Monday, December 12, 2005 2:54 PM  Subject:  Tis the KFC-eason for giving Gawker, I realize the Ultimate KFC Fan Contest ended yesterday. However, I just wanted to drop a friendly reminder to let you know the other item, the On Top of the World of KFC eBay ィ  Auction, ends on December 15. Have you had a chance to look over the details yet? Again, please feel free to contact me with any questions.  Best, Brandon Smulyan for KFC 972.830.XXXX  [email_address] Brandon Smulyan for KFC then pastes below his previous emails to us about KFC ユ s marketing effort, as though he will somehow guilt us into writing about his campaign, which we thought we were being generous to  not  write about. Well, congratulations, Brandon Smulyan for KFC. We’re writing about you now.Because you’re our Moron Publicist of the Month.
Adjust for Users Not long after its release, Apple dropped the price of the iPhone considerably. Customers were extremely unhappy with the decision – and made their sentiments known online.
Create an Open Forum for Conversation Wal-Mart’s Check Out Blog provides buyers the chance to critically review content sold by the retail chain with a significant degree of candor.
Live with the Good and the Bad

  • 10. The Importance of Best Practices Transparency: Anyone marketing in the digital space must take great care to be completely open about their marketing initiatives and any other underlying circumstances which, if discovered by users without being made explicit by marketers, might appear dishonest. For instance, WOMMA members pledge to be wholly transparent in all attempts to promote content online. As a blogger myself, I always strive to make explicit the connection with partner companies at any point I write about any of their properties.

  • 25. Understand the Population Moron Publicist of the Month: KFC’s Flack READ MORE: Publicists, food, press releases, public relations This is why people hate publicists. Now, as people who have at least a glancing familiarity with this website, you probably realize that giveaway offers by national fast-food chains do not, typically, fall within our coverage area. One would expect even the soulless flacks responsible for publicizing giveaway offers by national fast-food chains to be aware of this. (True, we once wrote about an earlier stupid KFC gimmick, but that was only to lambaste the chain for appropriating Office Space for its nefarious purposes.) But they’re not. While we understand that junior-level PR people have to send out releases to whole big lists of media, and so we try to simply ignore them — rather than get mad at them, or taunt them — when they send us silly, irrelevant things like news about giveaway offers by national fast-food chains, sometimes that becomes impossible. Especially with the imbeciles who do press for our old pals KFC. Who have recently taken to hounding us. Like with this email, which arrived yesterday: From: Smulyan, Brandon To: tips@gawker.com Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 2:54 PM Subject: Tis the KFC-eason for giving Gawker, I realize the Ultimate KFC Fan Contest ended yesterday. However, I just wanted to drop a friendly reminder to let you know the other item, the On Top of the World of KFC eBay ィ Auction, ends on December 15. Have you had a chance to look over the details yet? Again, please feel free to contact me with any questions. Best, Brandon Smulyan for KFC 972.830.XXXX [email_address] Brandon Smulyan for KFC then pastes below his previous emails to us about KFC ユ s marketing effort, as though he will somehow guilt us into writing about his campaign, which we thought we were being generous to not write about. Well, congratulations, Brandon Smulyan for KFC. We’re writing about you now.Because you’re our Moron Publicist of the Month.
