The internet and social media in particular has given consumers full control. All kind of information is available and we look for social proof in the buying process. Customers will do their homework, and the best thing companies can do is to become transparent and provide the information they are looking for.
Peter Mühlmann, CEO of Trustpilot will talk about social proof in the buying process and how companies can look more trustworthy in front of their customers by embracing transparency. The impact is huge – Not only within the customer service teams as this trend transforms companies and make the entire organization more customer-focused.
This presentation is part of "Social Media Week" #smw which took place around the world and in Copenhagen between the 18th and the 22nd February 2013.
These are slides from a presentation I gave at International CES 2014. They highlight findings from a recent quantitative study of 5,000 US consumers, fielded by UTA Brand Studio and uSamp.
Slides from my keynote address at the 2013 Insight One20 event in Los Angeles. This material supplements my voice over about the most impactful ways to build a lasting brand that inspires customers. At its foundation is the insight that a real brand is more than a name or a logo, it's a promise. That promise sets an expectation which the brand must meet or exceed in every brand experience. Drawing on material published in my book Brand Real, I illustrate:
1/ The importance of developing trade-offs in your brand platform. You can't be everything to everyone. The best brands pick the value they can deliver exceptionally well in every experience, often at the expense of other features and benefits.
2/ The six core themes that tend to underly every brand promise and how to differentiate between them. Your brand should revolve around one of these themes.
3/ Why credibility is an important gateway for deeper levels of brand attachment and preference. I also touch on what credibility really means -- it's a combination of trustworthiness and demonstrable expertise.
4/ How identity and creative should be tied to real, noticeable benefits in the core brand experience. I show the difference between changing a logo for the sake of being nice to look at, and changing a logo to signal a change in the core experience.
5/ Defining what brand experience really is -- how it relates to what we think, feel and do when a brand is present.
6/ How narrative and story are the language of brand experience, and how important it is to make the story come alive in the consumer's imagination. We are born with the capacity to understand everything through the lens of narrative. Your job with your brand is to activate the right narrative in the audience's head.
7/ How the experiences and stories that tap the consumer's important values create strong attachment to brands, and why attachment is the best way to measure the strength of your brand's power with your target audience.
8/ And, ultimately, how important it is to engage your employees and make them attached if you want to have a consistently strong brand experience with your customers.

Social Media won’t make our companies better ormake people love us, however...we are lucky that these tools allow our customers

Generation z, Digital and What it means to all of usSimon Sear
Generation Z are those kids born after 1995. The older ones are just about to enter the workforce, whilst the younger ones are learning coding at school! They have lived their lives on the internet, are the champions of snack media and shun email. This presentation looks at some of their characteristics and emerging digital trends and considers what it means to the rest of us.
The Future of Technical Communication is MarketingScott Abel
Once a prospect buys a product or service, the content they interact with is no longer familiar. The instructions provided don't look, feel, or sound anything like the marketing and sales materials that introduced them to your brand. Neither does the service contract, the warranty, the customer support website, the product documentation, nor the training materials.
The extensive variability in customer experience — and each customer touchpoint — creates a different and inconsistent version of the brand, some that bear little or no resemblance to the brand that executives believe they are building. There are often as many brands as there are touchpoints.
For no good reason, the content experience changes drastically -- and not in a good way. That's why organizations that recognize the importance of a unified customer experience have started rethinking what it means to be customer-centric.
Some forward-thinking organizations are reorganizing customer-facing content creators into teams under one roof. They're breaking down the barriers — the silos — that prevent them from collaborating; from creating a unified customer content experience.
In this presentation, delivered at Acrolinx Day at LavaCon 2014 Portland, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, discussed the challenges of content inconsistency and incongruity, and why he thinks the future of technical communication is marketing.

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
