This document summarizes key findings from the Communications Benchmark 2012 workshop on crafting an effective communications strategy. The workshop addressed how communications is viewed within organizations, the status of communications functions and resources, and challenges posed by the economic recession. Communications professionals expressed concerns about lack of strategic direction, siloed departments, and stretched resources limiting their ability to achieve goals. However, some saw the recession as forcing greater organizational focus on demonstrating impact and value through communications.

In February 2009, Vignette conducted a survey of 200 marketing executives on the subject of Social Media. The organizations surveyed know they need to utilize Social Media on their Web sites, but most are unsure how to implement a strategy.
This presentation by Gerardo Dada, senior director of product marketing for Vignette, explores a summary of trends captured in the survey as well as a step-by-step guide to implementing a successful Social Media strategy in your organization. The presentation also includes discussion on the state of Social Media today, what Web 2.0 means for your business and key strategies for successfully implementing Social Media in your organization.
Many large companies recognize the importance of social media tools but lack the vision on how to use them in conjunction with long-term initiatives and measure their effectiveness, according to a survey conducted by Vignette Corporation (NASDAQ: VIGN) in partnership with the Marketing Leadership Roundtable and the Corporate Executive Board. The results will be discussed in a June 10 Webcast presented by Vignette.
The survey collected almost 200 responses from companies with median revenue of $333 million. Fifty percent of the respondents work at companies that have 1,000 employees or more and 62 percent come from B2B organizations.
How will the changing digital trends influence your marketing? Should you update your social media strategy?

This presentation takes an in-depth look at the latest social media trends to help you:
Distinguish between hype and reality when it comes to using social media tools to promote your brand and products
Recognize the impact of social media on the consumer and their purchasing behavior
Understand how marketers use social media tactics and establish benchmarks for emerging tactics

The Future of Social Intelligence - Extracting the Gold from Social Media #sm...Alterian
Companies are just beginning to grasp the true power of social data. The ability to collect feedback without the need for costly market research studies, surveys, and focus groups is a relatively new prospect. But as brands have started measuring, many sense that they could (and should) be doing much more with the abundant data at their finger tips. Simply collecting data is not enough. To remain competitive, marketers must fully realize the breadth and depth of knowledge and insights they can gain from online conversations.
Scott Briggs discusses the state of social media intelligence today and where we are headed in the future. He outlines the advanced techniques that forward-thinking brands are using to move from simply collecting data to truly analyzing and drawing insights that are fueling smart business decisions.
The future of social intelligence is predictive, strategic, and unlike social measurement as you know it today. Are you ready?
Top 3 Ways Big Data Will Transform Digital Marketing in 2013Gleanster Research
Marketing is evolving. At times faster than some of us can keep up. Every good marketer can attest to the complexity of managing multi-channel execution; fragmented data, fragmented solutions, and ultimately, a fragmented customer experience. Execution is hard enough, but then there’s measurement and justification of marketing spend across channels. Is the data available across channels? Is the level of granularity on analysis actually useful for campaign optimization?

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
