interactions with brands
digitally/physically
• Pokémon Go combines
both
• Happen without your
interaction and pass
quickly
• They build equity and
name recognition
@lafauce @mattjrosenberg
 Knowing your voice helps define which
moments to engage with
 Pokémon Go
◦ A fun game but a moment to capitalize one
◦ A digital game requiring physical interaction
@lafauce @mattjrosenberg
 In the last few weeks Pokémon Go has:
◦ Set the record for most downloads from the Apple
Store in one week
◦ Been a near constant trend on most social networks
◦ Has helped small and medium businesses increase
their traffic
@lafauce @mattjrosenberg
 There are moments that overtake culture and
present unique opportunities to interject
 How do you define what a moment is:
◦ Traditional News
◦ Social Media
◦ Organic (listen to your customers/friends/family)
@lafauce @mattjrosenberg
 Monitor/Listen
◦ Follow the news, watch for trends and cultural
events
 Identify
◦ Find the moments in time that best can be aligned
with your company based on research/buckets
 Assess
◦ Assess viability of the moment to create a win
 Deploy
◦ Find the best turnkey strategy and deploy the tactic
@lafauce @mattjrosenberg
 Drive foot traffic
◦ Lures
◦ Puts people in physical location
 Partner
◦ Be where people are…know where they are hunting
◦ Give out water or phone chargers, etc.
 Social
◦ If you have a fun voice, this is a chance to use it

Content Marketing Over
Time
@lafauce @mattjrosenberg
Social Media / PR - Earned
Search / Web - Owned
Over time
Focusing on the static website presence first and social
media and experience as vehicles to drive to that
content provides the optimal long-term results.
• Social media: Creates initial attention for your
message. Due to the volume of information, after a
few hours the content can’t be found again. Content
is not indexed by search engines making it hard to
discover over time.
• Experience: Has similar effects and needs to be
sustained long-term to have a lasting impact on
awareness.
• Website content: Always indexed by search
engines. Most important messages can always
remain front and center because it is 100%
controlled.

 Reactive communication
◦ Requires arguably a greater level of advance planning than
proactive engagement
 Develop a baseline to determine if a scenario is a
responsible and you should be involved
 Just because someone, somewhere, says something
doesn’t mean you need to respond
 Work to develop a personal response tree that outlines
what you feel comfortable dealing with (this can be
more mental)
◦ If you have a question about whether you should respond
to something, talk to legal or your team
 Develop a structure for responding
◦ Know what you can and can’t say based upon your
corporate guidelines
 If they are too constrictive, ask for clarification
◦ Think and never delete
