CMOs: Time for digital transformation or risk being left on the sidelines. Digital Transformation checklist for marketeers.
Based on the Accenture Interactive 2014 CMO Insights Survey, CMOs are selling themselves short. The question isn't whether CMOs can effectively take advantage of digital channels – they are proving they can – but whether they can be more visible change agents for digital transformation across the organization.
As every business becomes a digital business, C-suite executives will need to collaborate to drive successful digital transformation. No CMO wants to be left on the sidelines.
Executive summary of a seminar given by Tim Dolan of Kickframe to a group of Canadian marketers. The focus of the session was to provide a strategic foundation for planning digital marketing. The approach for this session was:
1. To go broad across the digital marketing toolbox, and not deep on a specific tool
2. To provide guiding principles that are lasting, and not more specific tactical advice
3 . To arm participants with relevant planning tools that they could take and put into action

Marketwire Presentation on Social Media and Investor Relations - January 19, ...Marketwired
On January 19, 2011, Marketwire participated in a webinar entitled "Using Social Media to Sell Your Deal," hosted by DealFlow, on investor relations and social media.
How to match the blistering evolution
of social media with effective internal and
external social technology strategies.
While progressive companies are tying themselves in million-dollar knots just building Facebook apps or chasing the latest Twitter-marketing strategy, Perficient proposes that firms take a more holistic view:
The most popular social technologies did not even exist eight years ago, so the trick is not in deciding which ones deserve your money or man-hours.
The trick is learning how to anticipate and leverage trends in human interaction in ways that will keep your business responsive, agile and synched with the ever-shifting DNA of social media evolution.
The trick to mastering social media is this:
It’s not the software. It’s the culture.
To reduce the chance of misfires and maximize results, leading marketers are using active social media listening. Through it, they can iterate and be informed by real time assessment of consumer reaction. But many are still not using this data or are underutilizing it and missing out. In this webinar, Nate Elliott from Forrester Research shares how progressive marketers are developing innovative ways to leverage social analytics to:
- Better target messaging and content
- Source and refine inspiring creative
- Improve media plans
- Identify and target key influencers
- React quickly to real time opportunities and threats

How marketing can dominate natural search iCrossing
Being more visible than your competitors is a basic requirement for success online although many marketers see it as a technical backwater. But today, marketing and PR are the key levers to beat competitors in natural search, while at the same time most marketing and PR agencies don’t understand natural search. So how can a hard working marketeer expect to achieve natural search dominance from this start-point?
This session draws on Tolkien, Google and Text Book Marketing to illustrate how you can dominate natural search by working your existing marketing.
Questions:
1. Why are marketing and natural search on a collision course?
2. How do I marshal ATL and BTL marketing to dominate natural search?
3. What is Google seeing when it looks at my website?
4. How do I influence my agency's behaviours to achieve natural search dominance?
5. What are the quick wins my marketing can do to move up search rankings?

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Thanks very much to all of you for joining me today. [Talk about the content from Thursday and how it relates.] I’m excited today to have the chance to show you some of our latest research on how interactive marketing tools can help you pull the ideas you heard about yesterday into a cohesive whole. But before we get to that, I want to ask you to cast your minds back to 1993.
I ask because the web was created in 1993. It’s easy to forget how magical it all seemed back then; it wasn’t the ‘web,’ it was the ‘world wide web,’ and the fact that we could share information around the globe was truly amazing. We didn’t call those blue underlined words ‘links,’ they were ‘hyperlinks’ and the opened up the world of ‘hypermedia.’ It really was a remarkable technology, and it really has changed almost everything about our lives and our businesses.
For instance, it’s changed how we communicate. Back then if you wanted to write a message to someone, it meant picking up piece of paper and a pen, stamping an envelope and heading to the post office. Today, of course, we no longer wait by the mailbox to get messages from our friends; instead we look for the little red flag on our Facebook homepage that tells us there’s a message waiting.
The web also changed the way we consume content – and if you’re in the content business, it’s probably turned your world upside down. 18 years ago, the #1 hit single was ‘I will always love you,’ by Whitney Houston, from The Bodyguard soundtrack. I won’t embarrass any of you by asking who owned this musical travesty, but I will point out that if you did own it, it was almost certainly on cassette tape because that was the dominant musical format of the time. Today, of course, you’re more likely to listen to Lady Gaga on your iPod.
And of course it’s changed how we deliver customer service. In the old days, during a flight delay for instance customers relied upon their flight attendants for information. (And yes, those really are Pan Am flight attendants, because in the early 90’s Pan Am still existed!) Today, customer service often happens through interactive channels like Twitter.
In fact, just about the only thing that hasn’t changed since the advent of the web is how we as companies build our brands. In 1993, if you wanted to introduce a new brand or strengthen an old one, chances are you’d create a 30-second idea and buy some prime-time TV spots. And today, almost two decades later, chances are you’d do the same exact thing. The TVs have gotten nicer – it’s not an old clunker anymore, but a wide-screen flat-panel LCD HDTV – but the branding model has remained exactly the same.
This is the branding model most companies used two decades ago, and this is still how most companies build their brands today. They look at TV as the undisputed king of media, the undisputed core of their brand programs; they develop a 30-second version of what their brand means, and then they ask the radio folks and the print folks and the Internet folks to try to match that vision in their own platforms.
And it’s not exactly a model that makes very good use of what the Internet can offer us. That’s why, in our last published ad forecast, while interactive marketing took 12% of all ad spending in the US, marketers in brand-focused industries were putting as little as 2% of their budgets online. Everything about our lives and our businesses has entered the age of interactivity – how we communicate, how we sell products, how we deliver customer service – but the way we build our brands remains rooted in an era of handwritten letters and cassette tapes.
So what I want to tell you today is that it’s time for our branding programs to catch up to the rest of our businesses; it’s time for us to start using the brand-building potential of online tools. Because interactive marketing is ready to lead your brand.
The first, and perhaps the most important, is that the Internet now offers us scale we’ve simply never seen before. The commonly-held belief that TV offers unrivalled scale used to be true. But no longer: Today, more than 80% of all Americans are online, and people spend as much time online as they spend watching TV. And the biggest web sites can rival the biggest TV shows for reach; in fact, in February of this year, the MSN homepage reached more users each and every day than all but a handful of prime time programs.

The third reason interactive marketing is ready to lead our brand is that it’s the marketing channel your customers trust the most. You already know they trust each other and that social media spreads peer influence farther and faster than ever before; and our research shows that every year in the US there are *billions* of peer influence impressions. But did you know your web site is more trusted than your TV ads, your print ads, or any other form of traditional advertising? If you want customers to trust what you’re saying, you need to say it online.
The fourth reason interactive marketing is ready to lead your brand is that offers you new ways to tell stories. We all remember the tiny little 468x60 ad banners from a decade ago, but times have changed. Current standard ad banner is 2.3x bigger than old one, and there are standard units that get much bigger. And on our own sites we have almost unlimited space to tell our stories. But of course it’s much more than just size: video, interactivity all add to our creative palette. Today, the internet is without question the richest storytelling channel available to brand marketers.
So how do you do that? Well, my new research is recommending that you build an interactive brand ecosystem.
Because this it the old model, but we can see it’s become unbalanced – by consumers’ shifting behaviors, and by the continued evolution and strength of interactive tools. But this isn’t a story about getting rid of TV, or about choosing one platform over another. Rather, it’s about creating a more intelligent and effective way of making all our brand channels work together. Today, if you’re going to build a deep and effective brand, you need to focus instead on building...
A multilayered interactive brand ecosystem. You need to take advantage of the depth of the interactive channels, and make your own website the deepest and most important place for your customers to engage with you brand and with your big ideas. You must intelligently distribute your brand’s content and interactions into secondary channels like social media and mobile media. And then you must use paid media – like online display ads and especially TV spots – to extend to reach of your campaigns. Engage in owned media, distribute through social and mobile media, and reach with paid media. Let’s walk through those one by one.
Engagement starts at core, and flows to social/mobile media. Social/mobile channels push users among themselves. Then you take the big idea from the core and put it into the paid media, and paid media pushes users back into the engagement at the core.
This is what Smirnoff’s ecosystem looked like
Nearly every company we talk to today uses one of these two models – either way, IM is a team that sits apart from the rest of the organization. Good as a baby step because it collects knowledge in one place, but ultimately troublesome because it’s hard to disseminate that knowledge if you’re sitting apart from the org.
Majority have 4 or fewer IMers.

Interactive needs to lead conversations about communicating to your customers – and it can’t do that unless interactive skills are part of each team. The long-term goal for the future is that we’ll ALL become interactive marketers. The distributed model is a key step in that direction
