Marketing trends are constantly evolving as consumers change their behaviors. While some claim that social media, TV, and participation are dominant forces, the reality is more nuanced. TV still reaches the most people, though online is growing. Participation initiatives are best for loyal customers, not growth. Great creative ideas that spread virally still drive the most success. Marketers must consider trends but also understand their specific audiences to effectively reach them across multiple screens with compelling ads.

1. Marketing Trends You Can’t Afford To Ignore
Seattle MarketMix 2013

2. “I don’t set trends. I just find out what they are and
exploit them.”
Dick Clark

3. “Trends, like horses, are easier to ride in the
direction they are going.”
John Naisbitt

4. “Advertisers are constantly accused of creating
trends, shaping attitudes and planting new
behavior in consumers. But in fact, the opposite is
true: advertising doesn’t set trends, it follows
them.”
Terry O’Reilly

 Develop consumer opportunities to interact
for those who want it
 Leverage brand evangelists
 Reach everyone else through TV
 To signpost, ignite, fuel, explain
 Sole focus just on participation won’t grow
your brand

18. Our New Reality: The Multi-Screen World

19. Context Drives Device Choice

20. Computers Keep us Productive & Informed

21. Tablets Keep us Entertained

22. Smartphones Keep us Connected

23. There are two modes of multi-screening

24. Implications
 Campaigns that work across screens can extend reach
enormously
 We saw campaign recall double in a recent local
campaign where TV was used in addition to online
 Plan creative content and media as a single exercise
 TV is not dead but it will evolve
 Move completely away from TV with caution
 TV frequency may decline – focus more on reach
 Where reach builds quickly, may need to pool out
more often

25. Ever Increasing Importance of Big Creative Ideas

26. ‘Creative’ explains 75%+ of the
variance in campaign success.

27. Great creative ideas can drive strong viral
consumer activity…

28. …and not just for the global P&G Brands

29. Often word-of-mouth can outperform
paid media within the touch-point mix

32. Effective Ads typically have:
Interest Value
A differentiating and relevant message
Simple storylines
An immediately clear connection with the brand
 Branding that’s subtle, insistent, integrated
 Brand as hero, as a part of our lives

33. Effective Ads: Interest Value
 Interest value is subjective, unique to the individual.
Memorable ads have something that helps them stand out
from the crowd and gain attention. And the tactics keep
changing.

34. Effective Ads: Interest Value
There are predictably effective ways of breaking out
from the pack…
Use of humour
Upbeat commercials with music
Cute or appealing characters (kids, babies, dogs, etc.)
Newsworthiness or information value
An engaging narrative or story
Use of an (identified) celebrity
Continuity (of characters, style, etc.)

35. …and now….a contest with prizes for the first person to identify the
next brands by the following images…..

40. Implications
 Know your audience and do all you can to
leverage great creative against it
 Be confident in your strategy
 A good story…
 Execute with finesse
 …well told
 Does your process allow for this?

41. The Irrational Consumer

42. The insight for the creative Big Idea may
not be so rational or found in product
attributes

43. Why should brand managers care about the
emotions associated with their brand?
Almost everything we do is for ourselves!
Why should I?
What will this brand do for me?
What do I feel like doing?

47. Marketers need to build emotional
associations on to the brand
This is about emotional ‘need states’
Fancy Thursday Sunday football

48. Because we change moods/needs every day, it is
difficult to segment, and define the right message
to an individual, for the right mood.
Brand Managers must “paint” their brand with emotional
associations and expected emotional pay-offs.
IPSOS ASI LESSON LEARNED

49. Implications
 Emotions are everything, whether we perceive it
that way or not
 We do not make “rational” decisions without
emotions and emotional associations

50. Identifying Message Receptivity & Leveraging
Need States

51. Timing is everything

52. Fast Flat Shoe Inserts

55. Implications
 Define the relevant need states for your
product and service and market to those
needs
 Leverage customer databases to support
mass customization

56. New Ways of Going Green: Profiting Through
Encouraging Consumers to Buy Less

57. Print Less

58. Changing Blades Less Often

59. Eat Less Beef

60. Implications
 Buying less may seem counter intuitive
but:
 It can pay major dividends in
customer loyalty
 Offer up highly relevant
differentiating positioning

61. Consumer Media Research is Becoming More
Important

62. This is the
kind of media
planning
above and
beyond
consumption
and audience
measurement
(ratings).

63. Older people watch more TV than younger, but they have
less recall – viewership isn’t enough to understand media

64. This is about growth in understanding how touch-
points work and how to help marketers better plan
their integrated marketing programs.

65. How do different touch points combine to
extend recall – are all needed?

66. In a synergistic campaign, what happens when the
audience see multiple touch points? How many
are too many?

 Media buys can be impacted by the nature of the
audience
 Where is the brand at in its evolution? Different touch
points impact different metrics
 Synergy extends impact with exposure to multiple
campaign media

68. We Will Use New Methods to Understand Our
Audiences

69. The New Normal
Where consumers are
constantly connected
and “always on” is the
default setting
69

70. The New Normal
Where we are accelerating
toward a new singularity
where the storing of a
consumer’s digital life
will be accessible on any
device
70

71. The New Normal
Where we are moving towards
a culture where information
about most things becomes
readily available
71

72. The New Normal
And where personalization of
the digital landscape via
devices and apps will continue
to grow quickly
72

73. TODAY’S CONSUMERS ARE DIFFERENT
We have to engage them in
ways that capitalize on and
mimic their lives in a digital
world
73

74. Multiple Sources will Provide More Accurate
Understanding
 The complexity of our
new normal means we
can’t rely on one source
for all insight:
• We need to listen
• And converse
• And passively
measure
• And actively measure
74

75. we need to
think differently

77. Implication
 Getting the right person at the right time
 Reliance on smaller samples
 More “just in time” research vs. bigger ongoing
studies
 Passive observation
 Tagging digital activity to more quickly and easily
find those who have been exposed
 Quality implications
 More qualitative

78. Consumers Continue to Evolve

79. In some markets,
the average age is
increasing, while
we observe large
‘under 18’
populations in
other nations.
Source: http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-
and-maps/figures/median-age-
projections

80. In some markets we see large influences from
immigration, while others are ‘westernizing’.

81. In almost all markets we observe a growing power
of the consumer (the “prosumer”).

82. Consumers are increasingly guilt-free in
disloyalty. The transactional model is ceasing to
exist - the relationship and experience model is
taking its place.
From To
Simple More complex
Fast Sales Cycle Time consuming
Buyer is not/does not Relationship building is
have to be very key
sophisticated

83. We see greater individualism, people are
spending less time socializing “in person”.

84. Screen time is growing and personal care
(health) is declining

85. Consumers are becoming more “on demand”
– exercising their own power

86. Consumer targets are changing more quickly
than ever before.

87. The Implication: we need to be more savvy about
how we market our businesses and who we are
marketing to
