Social Media is a Promise (here's how to keep it) by Graham D Brown Graham Brown
The document discusses how social media promises to let customer stories be heard, but many top-down brands fail to deliver on this promise. It argues that brands should adopt a "bottom-up" approach like Lego, where customers are given control to tell their own stories and connect with each other, rather than the brand dictating the conversation. This approach of empowering customers has helped transform Lego into a successful brand by creating meaningful engagement and connections to what customers love. Indifference, not dislike, is the true enemy for brands in the current environment where attention is scarce.

How do Amazon, Apple and O2 create young fans?Graham Brown
1) The document discusses how Net Promoter Score (NPS), a metric that measures customer satisfaction and likelihood to recommend a brand, is often used ineffectively by mobile companies as just a score to track, rather than as a system to identify brand advocates and influencers.
2) It recommends that companies use NPS and other earned media indexes to identify "fans" - people who highly recommend and influence others about the brand - and focus marketing efforts on engaging these influencers, rather than just measuring overall customer satisfaction.
3) When used as a system to identify and activate fans, sometimes called "Fanspotting", NPS can help companies better understand their key influencers and communities and

The Elephant in the Mobile Industry’s Room: WomenGraham Brown
The document discusses the lack of representation of women in the mobile industry and creative sectors. It argues that the mobile industry makes 5 common mistakes when trying to cater to women, such as creating pink products without understanding women's needs. While women are key drivers of mobile trends and innovation, the creative agencies advising the industry are run mostly by men. To better engage female customers, the industry needs to remove barriers and directly immerse itself in the lives of women to understand their perspectives.
Tobacco causes about 40,000 deaths per year in Spain and leads to illnesses like lung cancer, heart attacks, and coughing. It is forbidden to smoke in schools, hospitals, and other enclosed public spaces to protect non-smokers. Alcohol limits brain functions and damages the nervous system, causing memory loss and heart issues. Cannabis smoking absorbs THC quickly into the lungs and brain, risking concentration and memory problems as well as reduced coordination. Obesity, defined as excessive fat accumulation, affects over 1.6 billion adults worldwide and is expected to affect over 2.3 billion adults and 700 million with obesity by 2015. Main causes are nutritional imbalances and sedentary lifestyles, while consequences include

A Vietnamese Language Model Based on Recurrent Neural NetworkViet-Trung TRAN
Language modeling plays a critical role in many
natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as text prediction,
machine translation and speech recognition. Traditional
statistical language models (e.g. n-gram models) can only offer
words that have been seen before and can not capture long word
context. Neural language model provides a promising solution to
surpass this shortcoming of statistical language model. This paper
investigates Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) language model
for Vietnamese, at character and syllable-levels. Experiments
were conducted on a large dataset of 24M syllables, constructed
from 1,500 movie subtitles. The experimental results show that
our RNN-based language models yield reasonable performance
on the movie subtitle dataset. Concretely, our models outperform
n-gram language models in term of perplexity score.
Leo Burnett hit SXSW Interactive to tell the story of the conference through the lens of an advertising agency. To break through the clutter of the annual event,
