A Clean Way to Fast Track




The Onion writes article,
poking fun of Tide videos        2 days later, a Tide ad is born on
                                 YouTube & quickly goes viral

                            13

Engagement Starts With a
Story, Not a Platform




Stop thinking data points, individual
words, likes and sentiment ratios, and
start thinking how these insights can
create user narratives.

3 Use Cases of Actionable
Insights


             17
Unique Digital Needs Influence Content Strategy
                       Performics client (auto mfr) sought to understand:
                        How have participants evolved?
                        Does the auto they want correlate to online behavior
                         segments?

                       Social and Search Insights were integrated with
                       traditional persona research to understand:

                          Where in-market shoppers research specific vehicles
                          What are key selling points for specific vehicles
                          Which vehicles are cross-shopped and why?
                          How should this evolve TV ads, promotions and our
                           sales dialogue?

                                  amongst peer review sites. Insights enabled the

                                  service provider.
                                  Insights revealed:
                                   – The hotel’s guest keys were constantly
                                     demagnetizing and not unlocking room doors

and had to go to front desk for    – Unhappy guests spread concerns across multiple
help 2X.” Priceline                  travel review sites

Insights That Form An Elevator Pitch Become
Actionable

                                   22

 Your Participants

                                At this point you
                              should have an idea
                           of 2-5 dominating profiles

                                   through two-way dialogue
Integration of Data Sources is Key

1. Social data insights should not only come from a listening tool
2. Real-time data sources like Search Marketing need to be in the mix
3. Integrate social into your CRM databases & track behaviors




                                    25
All good marketing campaigns should be centered around your participant’s
experience.

Next Steps
1.   Corporate culture can change with hope, empowerment
     and consistency.
2.   Build a council of stakeholders. Whether you have “social”
     in your title or not, you are all owners.
3.   Create a framework and process that enables the ability to
     fast track.
4.   Bridge the customer intelligence gap and invest in
     collective technologies.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Tuesday, June 26, 11:30 am-12:15 pm
  • #7 Told to do itTop-Down, industry leaders, cross-departments, agency counterpartsCOVER UP OTHER AGENCIES
  • #8 Super passionate about social but lack internal supportStakeholders don’t understand or don’t prioritize, causing action barriers
  • #9 Many cross department teams that manage social elements, but don’t work together. There is no council of leaders or a holistic approach. Essentially you’re working in siloed worlds with different objectives.
  • #10 Living and breathing it.Industry rock stars embracing social data to drive marketing and customer intelligence. WalmartLabs and Amercan Red Cross/Dell are great examples of companies are actively collecting and listening to social data to change their business approach and their marketing plans. Dell solutions provide the Red Cross with innovative ways to help Americans impacted by disasterDell and the American Red Cross have a long-standing relationship, which Dell has expanded to include additional general funding, technology and employee engagement to support innovative disaster relief programs. As a member of the Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program, Dell helps the Red Cross assist victims of disaster and support volunteers who work at disaster scenes. Members of the Annual Disaster Giving Program pledge donations in advance of major disasters to help the Red Cross ensure an immediate response to meet the needs of those affected by disasters. Now Dell and the American Red Cross are expanding their partnership with the latest technology in enterprise social media — the social listening command center.
  • #11 Quick raise of hands
  • #13 Tide Example?ALL TEXT SHOULD BE NO SMALLER THAN 18 PTS FOR CONFERENCE VIEWING
  • #15 Understand the cause and effectLayer against media plan, and understand external influencersCreate a forecast for test and learn framework Forecast repetitions for future strategic planning and content development
  • #19 SolutionPerformics integrated behavioral insights based on searcher activity with qualitative data from social listening to develop up to date audience insights comparing multiple models and vehicle segments. The automotive marketer has since incorporated insights into regional digital and TV strategies.
  • #21 SolutionThe hotel group contacted their keycard suppliers who resolved the technical issue promptly. Social conversations about this problem have since decreased. “Basic hotel that is clean and comfortable. Staff are really friendly and helpful however the keys keep on demagnetizing and they said it was because my keys were near a phone or credit card however the keys were not near anything. I think it was just cheap keys or dirty locks. Otherwise, I would stay there again.”TripAdvisor“The key cards kept demagnetizing and the lobby was a long way away to have them reset. We purposely kept them away from cell phones and magnets, but they still demagnetized.” Expedia
  • #24 Social data from varied sources (Pinterest)Other real-time data sources like Search Queries &amp; Search Sequence AnalysesTraditional persona/audience researchCreate data connections to your existing CRM via Marketing Automation Suites
  • #25 Every Day You Make Decisions That Greatly Impact And Can Even Make Or Break Your BusinessIt is the quality of the decisions that are made every day (decisions like “Exploit untapped opportunities with existing customers, Identify most important customers, Acquire high-growth new customers, Aligning sales resources, Targeting working moms and their need for suits and convenient shopping,and Predicting customer/prospect behavior) that -- in the end – determine whether a company will succeed or be out of business. How good the quality of the information is behind these decisions directly impacts the profitability of those decisions: there is a direct correlation between quality information and profitability
  • #26 Once CI professionals integrate social data into their customer databases, they’ll havethe ability to track customers between channels, even when they aren’t calling for support orpurchasing a product.
  • #27 Here we have the ultimate analytically driven organization. There’s a lot here – let’s take it piece by piece, starting with the participant – because all good marketing campaigns should be centered around your customer’s/participant’s experience.
