The document discusses how influencer marketing has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. It notes that screen time and demand for online content has increased significantly. While some industries have cut marketing budgets, maintaining communication with audiences is important to retain relationships. Influencers are seeing higher engagement on more authentic pandemic-related content. Now is an opportunity for influencers to foster deeper connections by sharing how they personally relate to audiences' experiences. The document provides several examples of how influencers could authentically partner with brands across different industries like automotive, alcohol, travel, and healthcare to spread inspiring messages during this difficult time.

- Social media has become an even more central part of our lives during lockdown and will continue to play a pivotal role in how we connect, work and do business going forward.

Role of Millennials and their Impact on Reputation ManagementMSL
This document discusses the role and impact of Millennials on reputation management. It notes that Millennials are the largest and most diverse generation, with significant spending power. They expect businesses to have a clear purpose and take stands on issues like climate change. The document advocates for reputation management strategies that focus on purpose, corporate citizenship, employer value proposition, and social openness. It argues businesses must align with causes Millennials care about to attract them as consumers, employees, and brand advocates. Micro initiatives that create measurable impact are more credible than broad promises. An authentic approach through conversations and shared experiences online is needed to effectively engage Millennials.
- The rise of on-demand video and social media has changed how people consume television and movies, allowing them to watch anywhere and anytime. This has forced marketers to adapt by using precise viewership data and online platforms.
- Social media marketing campaigns that identify influencers to promote movies on platforms like YouTube and Instagram can reach hundreds of millions of people. Data from these online viewing behaviors allows for highly targeted advertising.
- Streaming services like Netflix use micro-genre categorization and viewership data to inform marketing, production, and recommendation decisions for both movies and television in a way that was not possible before this new era of online consumption.
The document summarizes the key findings of a study on the impact of social media exposure on sales and brand perception. The study tracked 400 restaurant consumers over 5,295 interactions with 5 brands across various media channels. It found that:
1. Social media exposure was directly linked to increases in sales, especially when integrated with other channels like PR, TV or OOH advertising.
2. Integration of social media with other channels had the most consistent impact on sales and consumption.
3. Among the 20 channels analyzed, social media was one of the top drivers of impact on spending and consumption.
The document summarizes 20 of the best social media campaigns as reported by Forbes magazine in August 2010. The #1 campaign was for The Blair Witch Project in 1999, which used websites and message boards to generate buzz about the film months before its release, making it one of the first viral marketing successes. The #2 campaign was for Blendtec blenders from 2006 onward, which featured destructive videos of the blenders blending unusual objects like iPhones, boosting blender awareness and sales significantly. The #3 campaign was for Old Spice from 2010, which had spokesman Isaiah Mustafa respond to fan questions on social media, including proposing to one fan's girlfriend who accepted.
The document discusses a jeans brand called UnME that is considering expanding its $13.5 million advertising budget to include social media platforms. Currently, 74% of the budget goes to television ads. The brand wants to better engage with its target audience of teenage girls aged 12-24. Options discussed include creating a virtual store and contests on Zwinktopia, developing a brand profile and widget on Facebook, and running video and display ads on these sites. Concerns raised include the lack of control over content on some sites and the high costs of certain advertising methods. The document recommends reallocating the budget based on where consumers spend their time online and paying for ads based on click-through rates to assess effectiveness.
Social media marketing investments are increasing day by day but many of the marketers do not know how to evaluate their performance. I just gathered a few good articles with good examples. I hope you like it.

1) The document examines consumer behavior across three major sporting events - Super Bowl 2014, March Madness 2014, and World Cup 2014.
2) Viewing habits, demographics, locations, activities, emotions and media consumption differed greatly between the events and among audience groups.
3) Second screen usage varied widely based on context, demographics, and what was happening within the event itself. Younger audiences and those feeling bored or excited were more likely to engage with mobile/social media.
Word-of-mouth marketing (WOMM) and creating positive buzz around products and services has become increasingly important as traditional marketing methods become less effective and trusted. Research shows that 84% of B2B campaigns resulted in lower sales and only 18% of TV ads generate a positive ROI. WOMM is driven by conversations and social sharing between consumers and influences up to two-thirds of the US economy. Those within social networks act as influencers, spreading information to their contacts, fueling the diffusion of buzz. Marketers can identify and leverage these influencers to help stimulate positive word-of-mouth.
Word of mouth advocacy and conversations about brands sparked by advertising are increasingly important drivers of sales and advertising effectiveness. Research shows that most brand conversations occur offline between friends and family, and that positive word of mouth from these conversations strongly influences purchase decisions. Advertisers are designing campaigns to spark conversations that create brand awareness and persuasion, with some finding that over 10% of their sales are directly attributed to word of mouth generated by their ads. Research also indicates that 20% of word of mouth discussions reference paid advertising, and these advertising-influenced conversations are more likely to involve product recommendations.
The document discusses how brands need to adapt their strategies and marketing approaches to be successful in a digital world where conversations have replaced campaigns and content is king. Specifically, it recommends that brands optimize their use of media and networks, focus on producing high-quality content to drive conversations, make conversations an essential part of their strategies, and ensure digital is integrated into every aspect of their overall strategies.
The document discusses integrated marketing communications strategies. It outlines how marketing has evolved from traditional print and direct mail approaches to now incorporating digital and social media tools. Survey results are presented showing contractors spend significant time online for business and see value in platforms like YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn. The document advocates using a variety of integrated tactics including email, websites, social media, print ads, direct mail and trade show activities to achieve goals like brand positioning, customer retention and lead generation.

Get Advertising Smart - The Evolution of the Not-for-Profit Campaign emmersons1
Advertising in the not-for-profit space is incredibly complex and continuously evolving. How can these organisations with such vital social purpose reach consumers in a compelling way? This week we look at a few examples of recent effective concepts in this sector.
2014 Visual Marketing Summit - Keynote and IntroTripleLift
Everyday, publishers like Time Inc., Fox News, and the Weather Channel are systematically moving away from text-heavy layouts and leveraging big, beautiful imagery as the focus of their sites. As the Visual Web becomes the new standard, publishers are forgoing banners and seeking more integrated native advertising experiences. But are advertisers ready?
The Industry Index by DMR, TripleLift, and a distinguished panel of industry thought leaders discussed the rise of the Visual Web and the role it’s playing in creating a more dynamic and flexible approach to digital marketing and native advertising.
1. The last few months have been a roller coaster for consumers as reopening, a second COVID wave, BLM protests, and economic uncertainty intensified.
2. Initially, most advertisers adjusted campaigns to show empathy for COVID challenges, but approaches are now diverging as some brands address racial equality while others remain silent.
3. Advertising spend decreased significantly due to economic uncertainty, but research shows maintaining or increasing spend during a crisis can boost future sales and market share, leading some brands to increase digital advertising.
Reference: Millward Brown | AD Reaction Video | Global Digital Strategist
Millward Brown’s AdReaction Video study explored how, where, and why multiscreen users in 42 countries are viewing video, and what marketers need to know to create video that is effective across screens. We have interviewed over 13 500 multiscreen users (ages 16-45 who own or have access to a TV and a smartphone or tablet). We also tested 20 Tv ads in 8 countries across TV, digital and mobile platforms.
#ADReaction
This document provides an overview of research being conducted on the effectiveness of social media marketing for cosmetic companies. The research aims to understand who purchases makeup, how much they spend, and how social media influences buying habits. An online survey of over 100 women in Rhode Island collected data on demographics, social media usage, attitudes towards cosmetics, and factors influencing purchases. Preliminary analysis found that the target market is women aged 25-29 in Providence county who spend over 2 hours daily on social media, mostly Facebook. The research will help cosmetic companies better understand their customers and identify effective social media marketing strategies.
The State of Native Advertising Disclosure: The Consumer ViewTripleLift
While marketers have essentially agreed to assume responsibility for providing transparency in order to maintain trust with the consumer, there are no definitive guidelines on what type of native advertising disclosure language they should be using. Depending on the advertiser or publisher, disclosure comes in many forms and can be as subtle as ‘Sponsored By’ to overtly direct like being labeled “Advertisement’.
In the hopes of identifying the most effective disclosure labels that can be adopted industry-wide, TripleLift surveyed over 200 U.S. consumers and gauged their thoughts on the most effective and least popular forms of native ad disclosure.
The document discusses rethinking marketing frameworks in light of changing media landscapes. It summarizes research on how consumers engage with paid, earned, and owned media. The research found that: 1) Consumer involvement is key to brand growth across categories; 2) Consumers now spend more time researching brands online, especially for expensive purchases; and 3) The internet has significantly changed how consumers research most brands, especially in China and for tech products.
This presentation is a strategic view of marketing trends and paradigms. The presentation is geared towards early stage start-ups and other organizations seeking to leverage the framework for open collective value innovation and emerging social media. The references associated with the material is posted on my blog at http://gotastrategy.typepad.com
The document discusses the decline of traditional media models and the rise of social media and word-of-mouth marketing. It provides several examples of traditional media outlets that have declined or shut down and data showing drops in newspaper circulation and TV viewership. At the same time, it outlines how social media usage and trust in peer recommendations are growing. The document advocates learning new skills like engagement and conversation over traditional advertising and presents several case studies of companies successfully using social media.
This document provides examples of social media campaigns that were successful at achieving business objectives. It describes how American Express encouraged shopping at small businesses on Small Business Saturday through promotional materials. It also outlines campaigns by Coca-Cola, Omo detergent, Tesco, Wonga, Sauza Tequila, Rom chocolate, and Dos Equis beer that saw increased sales, engagement, or other positive metrics through creative social media strategies. The key is using social media not in isolation but as part of a thoughtful brand-building strategy that engages customers and builds relationships.

The document discusses how brands have lost control over their messaging as customers now have more ways to directly interact with and discuss brands through social media. It argues marketers must embrace this change and find ways to empower brand advocates and influence discussions in a positive way rather than trying to directly control conversations. Examples are given of companies like Ace Hardware and Procter & Gamble that have found success by allowing more customer input and responding transparently in real time on social media.

BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands 2010 SummaryCaroline Simon
The BrandZ Top 100 report analyzed brand values of the most valuable global brands in 2010. The total brand value of the Top 100 brands grew 40% over the past five years to $2.04 trillion in 2010. Technology, financial, and beer brands saw some of the strongest brand value growth. Trust and recommendation between brands and consumers were highly correlated with brand value.

The BrandZ Top 100 report ranks the most valuable global brands. It found that the total brand value of the Top 100 brands grew by 40% over the past five years, reaching $2.04 trillion. Strong brands were able to maintain their value during the economic recession by balancing quality and value. Leading brands communicated honestly with customers and adapted to changes in consumer attitudes around issues like sustainability, health, and social responsibility. Successful brands engaged with customers through social media but needed to do so authentically in a way that aligned with the brand. Emerging markets like the BRIC countries provided opportunities for growth but brands also needed to adapt to local cultures.
The document is a survey report from Miappi Ltd summarizing the results of their 2017 market research on attitudes towards user-generated content in digital marketing. Some of the key findings include:
- 77% of respondents said user-generated social media content has more impact on buying decisions than brand advertisements.
- 88% said reviews from friends were most important when considering a purchase.
- UGC was found to be highly persuasive across brand websites, in-store screens, marketing emails and social networks.
- Consumers are more attracted to "authentic" user content from real people than "glossy" professionally produced brand content.
There are lots of great industry stats out there about the positive impact of user-generated (earned) content in digital marketing but here at Miappi, we like to commission our own research so we can be confident that what we are recommending to our clients is accurate.
Each year we commission our own market research to better understand the use of earned media in visual marketing.
This year is no exception and we have just received the results of our Summer 2017 market research.
We’ve packaged up the results in this report to paint a clear, up to-date picture of opinions relating to user-generated content. We’ve also shared some real-world applications for this data to help you enhance and improve your digital marketing campaigns.

We’ve entered a new era in digital. Search and AI are colliding, in more ways than one. And they all have major implications for marketers.
• SEOs now use AI to optimize content.
• Google now uses AI to generate answers.
• Users are skipping search completely. They can now use AI to get answers. So AI has changed everything …or maybe not. Our audience hasn’t changed. Their information needs haven’t changed. Their perception of quality hasn’t changed. In reality, the most important things haven’t changed at all. In this session, you’ll learn the impact of AI. And you’ll learn ways that AI can make us better at the classic challenges: getting discovered, connecting through content and staying top of mind with the people who matter most. We’ll use timely tools to rebuild timeless foundations. We’ll do better basics, but with the most advanced techniques. Andy will share a set of frameworks, prompts and techniques for better digital basics, using the latest tools of today. And in the end, Andy will consider - in a brief glimpse - what might be the biggest change of all, and how to expand your footprint in the new digital landscape.
Key Takeaways:
How to use AI to optimize your content
How to find topics that algorithms love
How to get AI to mention your content and your brand

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.
Conferences like DigiMarCon provide ample opportunities to improve our own marketing programs by learning from others. But just because everyone is jumping on board with the latest idea/tool/metric doesn’t mean it works – or does it? This session will examine the value of today’s hottest digital marketing topics – including AI, paid ads, and social metrics – and the truth about what these shiny objects might be distracting you from.
Key Takeaways:
- How NOT to shoot your digital program in the foot by using flashy but ineffective resources
- The best ways to think about AI in connection with digital marketing
- How to cut through self-serving marketing advice and engage in channels that truly grow your business

Key Takeaways:
1. Identify your customer journey and growth areas
2. Build a three-step customer experience strategy
3. Put your CX data to use and drive action in your organization
2. Overview
The uncertainty around Covid-19 is
extreme, to the point of
threatening business continuity.
We need to find certainty despite
the uncertainty. Statistically,
brands that are optimistic towards
media placements during a
recession or crisis are far stronger
after it’s over. Right now, the
human touch is needed in
marketing. This is what will be
needed by an audience now, in
order to strengthen the existing
relationship and convince them to
purchase products or services
later.
3. Landscape
Many industries cannot operate.
There is a significant limitation.
Those industries that cannot trade
as usual, have either cancelled or
reduced their budgets, while
others are still communicating or
increasing communications with
their audiences. This is where
audiences need human
connection rather than brand
messaging.
4. Landscape
Global statistics are not applicable
to South African buying behaviour
due to the severity of the
lockdown (South Africa’s
lockdown is the most severe
internationally). What we have
seen is that there is a significant
cut in ad spend. We know there is
a partial shift to digital, as OOH
and sports sponsorship is unable
to run.
5. Landscape
There is a risk of breaking a
strong bond that was built over
years with audiences if there is
no communication now. Keep
the communication open, even
if a company can’t trade, so
that the brand will be the first
ones to be remembered by the
consumers at the end of the
lockdown. We believe that for
most brands, it is no time to sell,
it is time to be there for
an audience, and to
strengthen the brand affinity.
6. Landscape
Fohr is an influencer membership
network, and their research shows
that the average screen time is up to
5h40 per day, an 18% increase during
the Covid crisis. They noted that
because screen time is increasing, so
is the standard of content. Their
statement is “As more and more
people turn to e-commerce, there is
an opportunity to put out impactful
messaging that will nurture your
current customers and provide value
to them during these completely
unforeseen circumstances.”
https://www.socialmediainformer.com/edition/weekly-communities-social-media-2020-04-04?open-article-id=13434383&article-title=the-impact-of-
covid-19-on-influencer-marketing&blog-domain=later.com&blog-title=later
7. Landscape
Followers are paying attention
to this new era of content
creation, with nearly 80% of
influencers reporting higher
engagement from their
followers. The opportunity here
is to engage audiences with
content that is hyper-aware of
and sensitive to its
surroundings. People are much
more likely to engage with
content that is authentic and
tasteful, than that which is
ignorant of extenuating
circumstances.
https://www.socialmediainformer.com/edition/weekly-communities-social-media-2020-04-04?open-article-id=13434383&article-title=the-impact-of-
covid-19-on-influencer-marketing&blog-domain=later.com&blog-title=later
8. Landscape
The Fohr survey also found that
over 40% of influencers
currently are reducing their
normal rates, and the
reductions average at 30%.
Fohr concludes that optimal
influencer marketing over the
Covid crisis is to build brand
communities.
https://www.socialmediainformer.com/edition/weekly-communities-social-media-2020-04-04?open-article-id=13434383&article-title=the-impact-of-

9. Context
Regardless of whether
people have a good job
or bad job, whether they
have children or not,
whether they have
financial means or not,
whether they’re in a
relationship or single –
we’re all in the same
boat.
10. Context
Even if an influencer
is endorsing a brand,
never has messaging
through influencer
marketing been more
relatable. Whatever an
influencer endorses
right now relates to all of
us, whether the content
is branded or not,
the audience relates
much more to
authentic influencers at the
present time.
11. Context
Working with each
influencer individually as
to how they will execute
their mission in their
own way, is key for
authenticity and
resonates with their
audience.
12. Context
When influencers share
what they miss about a
product or
experience, one
visualises what
they share. They create
the dream for an
audience.
13. Context
Investing in increased
communications during a
recession or crisis results in
long term gain. The natural
approach is to cut spending
(as a result of general fear
or uncertainty), harming
consumer relationships
built over years. Agility and
innovation in
communication must be
applied to strengthen the
customer relationship,
rather than putting it at
risk.
14. All generations have shifted
primarily to online streaming
and online video consumption,
as a result of Covid-19. This is the
first time ALL GENERATIONS are
consuming their media in the
same way. When sharing
personal content, videos also
capture the emotion and the
authenticity in a much stronger
way, which is even more
powerful when coming from
influencers with a person to
person message, sharing real
emotions.
19. Media
Consumption
Millennials are the most
active. Searches for
Coronavirus, listening to
music, and watching
movies/shows have the
highest activity.
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/media-consumption-covid-19/
20. Buying
Behaviour
In the USA and other
international markets,
consumers can still shop
online. A survey of 1’000
US adults in Mid March
discovered 42% of
consumers were
shopping more online,
with only 8% saying they
were engaged in less e-
commerce.
https://www.valassis.com/infographics/latest-changes-in-consumer-
behavior-amid-covid-19/
21. Buying
Behaviour
The virus also appears to be
motivating many consumers to try on
new shopping behaviours. Valassis (an
advertising and marketing
intelligence company that predicts
consumer behaviour) found that at
least under the circumstances, brand
loyalty was being impacted:
• 48% are remaining loyal to their
usual/familiar brands.
• 21% are purchasing a mix of usual
and new brands.
• 13% are “taking the opportunity to
discover new brands.”
• 19% are feeling less brand loyal,
buying what’s available.
https://www.valassis.com/infographics/latest-changes-in-consumer-
behavior-amid-covid-19/
22. Social Media
Usage
Social media usage in the United
States is up. The same study found
that 39% of respondents have
increased social media usage, while
7% have decreased it. The remainder
are consistent in their social media
behaviour. South Africa hasn’t
released statistics to support this, but
due to the parameters of the
lockdown, we believe these stats will
reflect a far higher usage of social
media. This also factors in that many
who do not have access to data on
their phones have access to wifi at
home.
https://www.valassis.com/infographics/latest-changes-in-consumer-
behavior-amid-covid-19/
23. During the Covid-19
crisis, influencers have
the capacity to create a
much more powerful
emotional connection
and resonance to the
brand by showing
agility, innovation and
creativity in producing
content that will really
show influencers and
the audience are in the
same situation, missing
the same things.
24. Market
Examples
Automotive:
Moms can relate to
privileged moments with their
kids. Roadtrips, driving the kids
to their grandparents, or visiting
a farm. When parenting
influencers post content
expressing how much they miss
this experience, we relate and
connect emotionally, even if
the post is branded by an
automotive manufacturer.
25. Market
Examples
Alcohol:
In South Africa, buying, selling and
transporting alcohol is illegal under
the lockdown. Many of us are in fear of
running out of wine or beer before the
end of the lockdown. When an
influencer shares a throwback picture
with an alcohol brand, he knows he
will be unable to purchase again until
the lockdown is over. Every sip he
takes and shares online makes us feel
like we can’t wait to try this wine, and
this will probably be the first bottle we
want to buy afterwards. This wine
becomes the dream.
26. Market
Examples
Travel:
The longer we’re in a lockdown
scenario, the more we need to escape,
and we dream of travelling. We all
want to travel / get out of home.
When travel influencers cannot travel
and relive their last travel experience
by sharing beautiful pictures and
videos of their last trip, the audience
shares the dream, even if the content
is sponsored by a hospitality brand.
27. Market
Examples
Health and Medical Insurance:
By being locked down, we all face the
option of staying in bed more,
exercising less, eating more comfort
food, and not respecting or staying in
a healthy routine. Influencers face the
same challenges in their commitment
and cannot go to gym. They would
become increasingly aspirational by
showing how to respect or start a
healthy daily routine from home, from
exercise to eating habits.
28. Market
Examples
Entertainment:
Is working with the level of
commitment, while home schooling
your kids a challenge? It’s also a major
challenge for influencers, who often
also have a 9 to 5 job.
Homeschooling while working from
home can be exceptionally difficult.
It’s hard to focus while children need
attention. Influencers can bring
awareness to this, showcasing how
children stay entertained, while
they’re learning, in partnership with
gaming platforms and educational
entertainment through streaming
media channels.
29. Market
Examples
Education:
Bored at home? Tired of not going out
or going to work?
eLearning channels can sponsor
influencers’ education for the duration
of the lockdown.
Further, the education can be both
professional and personal, focusing on
upskilling knowledge and expertise,
but also focused on learning how to
paint, do yoga etc. Influencers can
demonstrate their own personal
journey to enlightenment.
30. Market
Examples
Virtual Experiences:
Are you missing meeting up with
friends and family? Influencers have
the same experience. They can
however connect virtually. They can
invite their pods to Zoom meetings,
challenging each other to select
lookbooks from retailers’ websites. An
example of an engagement
mechanism could be:
“I’ve found a picture of what I’d like to
purchase after the lockdown lifts,
what colour should I buy?” This could
be a teaser, before the brand sends
the products at the end of the
lockdown.
31. Conclusion
It’s critical to stay in contact with an
audience, in a meaningful way.
Everybody in a non-essential industry
is stuck at home. Connect on a person
to person level, and any brand will
preserve the relationship with that
audience in the future. One needs to
be agile at this difficult time.
Influencer marketing is not only for
immediate sales but is powerful and
maintains and/or creates excitement
and brand love.
