The Metrics That Matter: How to Build Performance-Driven Inbound Marketing Ca...PR 20/20
(#INBOUND14 presentation) Measurement matters now more than ever. Marketing executives and business leaders are drowning in data. They have access to powerful tools that produce endless streams of information about contacts, including visitors, leads and customers. However, data without analysis is simply noise. In this presentation based on Paul Roetzer’s new book, The Marketing Performance Blueprint, you’ll learn how to align marketing KPIs with overall business goals, bring structure and meaning to numbers, and adapt campaign strategies in real time based on results (or lack thereof). Roetzer also will share a theoretical model showing what’s possible for the future of campaign and marketing performance management.
Rise of the Hybrids: Evolution of the PR and Communications Professional Prot...PR 20/20
[Keynote presentation from the May 2016 PRSA Strategic Collaboration Conference]
The rate of technology innovation, along with massive shifts in consumer behavior, have revolutionized the industry and the job market. Corporate marketing departments, small businesses and agencies struggle to recruit and retain qualified professionals for career paths that did not exist three years ago, while academic institutions are faced with the need to adapt curriculums to the real-time nature of business.
Modern PR and communications professionals must have a clear understanding of how their actions impact organizational goals. These next-generation professionals are hybrids, who are able to perform across multiple disciplines such as analytics, automation, content marketing, and mobile and social networking. They provide integrated solutions that used to require multiple agencies or in-house professionals. But these hybrids are a rare breed.
This session explores the industry’s growing talent gap, and the opportunity for PR and communications professionals to unlock their potential by evolving into prototype hybrid professionals. You’ll learn:
- How technology innovation and shifts in consumer behavior are impacting career paths.
- What traits define the hybrid professional.
- How to connect PR and communications campaigns to bottom-line results.
- How to advance yourself and your team.

Building the Perfect Content Marketing Mix - Part II - Execution Tactics
Feel like it's time to mix up your marketing playlist? While there’s a lot you could be doing, sometimes it’s hard to know which tracks to start, stop, or pause. To help you find the right mix to meet your marketing goals, we consolidated responses from the 2015 Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends research report section — “Which content marketing initiatives are you working on now, and in the next 12 months?” We broke out the results as follows:
• By priority
• By business type (B2B, B2C and nonprofit)
• By geography (North America, Australia, United Kingdom)
Part I covered two “playlists”: Internal Processes and Content Marketing Strategy Tactics (find that here on SlideShare as well). From channels to platforms to audience segmentation, we discussed how you can best establish your content marketing strategy and structure your team internally for more efficient processes.
Part II: Playlist 3 is where we show you how to mix things up a bit with different Execution Tactics. See how to create and deliver the best content to meet your business objectives. While some geographies and business types have similar priorities, others are finding their own unique beats — and the differences may surprise you.
We hope you find the following findings insightful and inspirational as you make your plans for the year ahead.
Enjoy!

The production and management of large volumes of content is fast becoming an expected part of a marketers role. This paper highlights the importance of having the right foundations in place, like a digital asset management solution, to ensure your content marketing succeeds.
Origins of the Marketing Intelligence Engine (SXSW 2015)PR 20/20
Marketing automation platforms save time, improve efficiency and increase productivity. They give companies an unprecedented ability to understand buyers, identify opportunities, track campaign performance and link marketing activities to business outcomes.
But, they do not provide insight into the billions of bits of data being created as consumers move from screen to screen and interact online and offline with brands, and they do not recommend actions to improve performance.
Humans are limited by their biases, beliefs, education, experiences, knowledge and brainpower. All of these things contribute to our finite ability to process information, build strategies and achieve performance potential.
Algorithms, in contrast, have an almost infinite ability to process information. They possess the power to understand natural language queries, identify patterns and anomalies, and parse massive data sets to deliver recommendations better, faster and cheaper than people can.
What inevitably comes next are marketing intelligence engines that process data and recommend actions to improve performance based on probabilities of success.
The concept has helpfully been summarised in a single phrase: “Inbound marketing is a digital strategy with an aim to securing the attention of an appropriate audience and converting this audience into customers through the use of high-value added content”, or to put it more simply: marketing that customers actually welcome.

The "no-fluff" slide deck that show's "how" to launch employee advocacy networks and tell and share brand stories across their personal social media channels.
In 2014, 93% of B2B marketers use content marketing, 44% of B2B marketers have a documented content strategy and 42% of B2B marketers said they were effective at content marketing.
These are all achievements that demonstrate how content marketing can no longer be neglected, when it comes to fruitful marketing strategies.
The latest statistics from WeChat place its monthly active users (MAU) at 700million, with audiences visiting the application upwards of 30 times per day.
While follower numbers for most brands continue to grow, the honeymoon appears to be over. Signs are starting to emerge that follower growth rates for brand accounts are slowing.
At the same time, the government has started to apply pressure to regulate H5 apps built onto WeChat. And Tencent itself is applying greater control over brand activities.
Brands will have to employ more effective content strategies on WeChat moving forward. In this presentation we share our tips to help brands continue to grow by attracting/retaining audiences on WeChat.
Content marketing vendors like Newscred, Contently, Percolate, SocialFlow, OneSpot and Outbrain can help marketers elevate their content marketing game.
Participation Marketing will convince business leaders to think hard about employee advocacy as a business strategy that has many positive business outcomes. Internally, it will engage employees and make them feel part of something bigger, which will naturally result in employee engagement, retention, and increase in productivity.

Influencer Marketing: Social Listening in PracticeBrandwatch
Research from Sony has shown that people are more than five times as likely to buy based on a recommendation from a social peer than they are when having simply been exposed to traditional forms of marketing.

The screen on the average BlackBerry measures just 60mm across. Yet for many of today’s B2B buyers, this is the main source they have for information about the products and services they will buy in the coming year. More than this, it is also the main way that they will engage in the various communities that influence their buying decisions. It’s not surprising then that B2B marketers should be wrestling with how to make the most of mobile social media.
The phenomenal success of social networks can be transferred directly to mobile, enabling customers and prospects around the clock access to an array of social networking services.
Consumers and professionals alike can now engage with brands, collaborate in real time and stay informed from any location at any time using web-ready devices optimised for social interaction.
Social Business Transformation - How customers change your enterprise DNARick Mans
Rapid changes in consumer behavior, fuelled by the ever increasing popularity of social media and the adoption of consumer technologies in the workplace, urge companies worldwide to rethink their positions. People spend more and more time online to connect and interact with friends, to publish opinions, and to purchase goods and services. Employees share their views online, strengthening or weakening the corporate brand.
Social Media is human interaction in a virtual world. Social Media is strongly related to topics such as social networking, social collaboration, micro blogging, co creation, crowd sourcing, content sharing and reputation management.
The essence of social media is human interaction. Transforming your company to benefit from new ways of human interaction, is not about a technology push, lead by new tools, new architectures and new platforms. It is a true transformation of the way you conduct business, how you relate and interact with your customers, your stakeholders and your employees. It is about being part of a huge ecosystem, where your clients, employees, and business partners are all visibly and actively interconnected.
These changes offer exciting opportunities to all enterprises. Opportunities to increase revenue, strengthen brand, reduce costs, attract the right employees, and deliver products and services according to the wishes of their customers.
When it comes to marketing, it seems as if the traditional PR has always been pegged against its digitized equivalent. While many brands often wonder why they would need a digital PR firm if they already have a traditional PR agency the truth of the matter is that a digital PR agency has more capabilities to offer than the traditional PR agency, which goes far beyond the public relations approach of traditional PR firms.
Our outlook for 2014 is optimistic. As marketers, it has never been a more exciting time. The following things to watch for range from very strategic to very tactical, but all are related in one big way. For marketers, none of them will matter, and none of them will work at all if not driven by a healthy, big idea.

The Power of Influencer Marketing How to Harness the Influence for Your Busin...SEOHabibi
In the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, the phenomenon of influencer marketing has emerged as a formidable force, redefining the way brands connect with their audiences. At its core, influencer marketing harnesses the inherent power of relatability and authenticity, leveraging individuals who have established trust and credibility within specific niches or communities. This dynamic approach transforms traditional advertising narratives, replacing them with genuine and personal endorsements that resonate deeply with consumers.
Building a Connected Brand: How Brands Become Publishers in a Real-Time Marke...iCrossing
Brands, media, and audiences used to have distinct roles in the marketing relationship. Today those roles overlap, creating new opportunities and expectations. People are now their own publishers of opinions, experiences, and preferences. They share those sentiments with each other in social spaces. Media properties are now playing host to serious conversations, with readers functioning as active contributors to the story. Brands are realizing that audiences are demanding more of them than simply shouting about their products and services — they are now expected to share back. As these forces blur together, the roles and expectations for brands, media and audiences will continue to change. Find out more at http://www.icrossing.com

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

4. Why we blog
Bruno Guglielminetti
Pioneer blogger Justin Hall “created” blogging
back in 1994, but it wasn’t until 2004 that the
blog gained popularity as a public publishing
platform.
Today, one in four Fortune 500 companies
uses a blog to share its views publicly. A blog
serves primarily to position a company with its
audiences and provides a channel where it can
articulate its corporate vision and its stance on
various issues.
Individual bloggers generally have a somewhat
different motivation for blogging. Many people And this is where journalists and influential

For now, more people still read newspapers more

5. Bloggers and journalists:

profession?
Claude Arsenault
By now, we are all aware of the dramatic shift
occurring in the media world. Newsrooms are
shrinking, revenues are decreasing, readership
is declining. Most people agree that the Web in
general and online news outlets in particular have
been a major factor in this shift. A recent survey
conducted by PRWeek in collaboration with CNW
Telbec shows that journalists have seen their
workload increase over the past year to include
online reporting and social media presence. I think not. Why? There is significant difference
On the other hand, bloggers are becoming more between both groups: most bloggers don’t
