How can be twitter an useful marketing toolantoniostan
Companies use Twitter primarily for content and news updates (37%), customer engagement (19-20%), and brand awareness (15.7%). Customers on Twitter are mostly male (45%) and between 18-34 years old (45%), and they post mostly pointless babble (40.55%) and conversational tweets (37.55%). While Twitter allows for innovative and free communication worldwide, companies face challenges with return on investment, identity issues, and competition from Facebook.
This document summarizes the results of a 2009 study on consumer attitudes about behavioral targeting. Some key findings include:
- Half of consumers feel uncomfortable with advertisers using their browsing history to target ads, even anonymously.
- Most consumers want more relevant online ads but feel less than 25% of ads are currently relevant.
- Over a third of consumers feel their privacy has been invaded in the past year due to information provided online.
- Consumers are aware their behaviors are tracked for ads and responsible steps must be taken to protect privacy.

Una mendiga aceptó pasar 100 días en el balcón del palacio del rey sin comer ni beber para demostrar su amor y convertirse en su esposa si lo lograba. Soportó 99 días y 23 horas las inclemencias del tiempo mientras el rey solo la alentaba desde la comodidad de su habitación. A falta de 1 hora para completar los 100 días, la mujer se retiró porque comprendió que el rey era egoísta y desconsiderado, y que no merecía su amor.

In Eastern Visayas there were 69 cases coming from most risk population primarily Men Having Sex with Men (MSM) either homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual modes of transmissions. Bearing this epidemic, sexual networking, using the internet for sex served as cruising sites for casual sex and promiscuity maybe accounted for this surge. This study made use of descriptive cross sectional method with 214 active users from different social sites using time- location sampling through interviews, group discussions and questionnaires. Results showed that most of the respondents joined the site for sex and had an average of 1-5 different sexual intercourse for the past three months. Sexual practices were oral, anal and oral-anal. Respondents were aware on the different modes of transmission but fully unaware of existing services of the DOH and were willing to be screened for HIV.
1) Formative research was conducted in Australia to understand HIV-related stigma and discrimination experienced by gay men to inform a national campaign. 2) Discussions with HIV-negative and positive gay men found stigma has increased, especially in relationships, as gay communities have become more integrated and online dating has grown. 3) Attitudes towards sex with HIV positive partners varied, from never to being comfortable if the relationship was open about status. Reducing stigma will require addressing ignorance and experiences within the community.

Comparing effectiveness of social media and peer-led social mobilization stra...Munyuwiny Samuel
This study compared the effectiveness of social media and peer-led social mobilization strategies in recruiting gay men, men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals in Nairobi, Kenya for HIV prevention programs. A total of 217 individuals were recruited through peer-led mobilization while only 26 were recruited through social media. At the end of the study, 156 of the peer-led recruits remained. Knowledge of HIV prevention increased for both groups after a behavioral change curriculum, though peer-led mobilization was more effective for recruitment and retention. While social media has potential, peer-led mobilization worked better, especially for lower income and education groups. Future programs should address both knowledge building and structural barriers to services for this population.

Razorfish Digital Brand Experience Report 2009Matthew Pantoja
The document discusses a study conducted by Razorfish to understand how consumers engage with brands in the digital world. The study found that (1) digital brand experiences create customers by dramatically increasing consumer engagement across the marketing funnel, (2) the future of branding will focus on actively engaging consumers rather than just awareness, through digital experiences rather than traditional advertising, and (3) consumers who actively engage with brands digitally, such as by following them on social media, show large increases in brand awareness, consideration, likelihood of purchase, and recommendations to others.
The document discusses a study conducted by Razorfish to understand how consumers engage with brands in the increasingly digital world. The study found that digital brand experiences are not just for awareness or conversions, but for creating customers. Those who actively engage with brands digitally through activities like contests or following brands on social media show increases across the entire marketing funnel. The report suggests marketers need to shift their focus from advertising to actively engaging consumers both online and offline. In the digital era, experiences are more important than advertising messages.
The document summarizes the results of a social marketing campaign conducted by the African American Office of Gay Concerns to increase HIV/STI testing among African American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) in Newark, New Jersey. The campaign utilized various media platforms and offered incentives to encourage testing. Focus groups provided feedback that informed campaign materials. The campaign resulted in over 500 men being tested, nearly 5,000 website visits, and growing social media engagement. Lessons learned included the need for continually updated materials and the ineffectiveness of using only social networking. Going forward, the organization will become an HIV rapid testing site.

A team of Mason University students created a social media campaign called #WordsHurt to raise awareness about cyberbullying. They conducted a survey of 166 students and found high rates of cyberbullying occurring, especially on Twitter. The team then created a powerful 50-second video depicting the negative effects of cyberbullying by projecting hurtful words onto actors' chests. They launched a 21-day social media campaign to share the video and promote a pledge to stop cyberbullying. The campaign aimed to educate about the link between cyberbullying and depression/suicide among college students.

The document summarizes research findings on safety needs of LGBTTIQQ2S communities in Toronto. An online survey was conducted from June to October 2008. Key findings include: respondents felt unsafe using public transit and in parks at night; many experienced verbal harassment, threats of violence, and discrimination; impacts included increased isolation and reluctance to report incidents to police due to lack of confidence they would be taken seriously. Recommendations focus on education, reporting tools, and advocacy to address safety issues.
- The survey found that in 2008, 39% of youth reported being victims of internet harassment, 14% reported being victims of cyberbullying, and 18% reported being victims of unwanted sexual solicitation. However, the data did not support assumptions that these issues were increasing over time or that youth were more severely affected. Specifically, prevalence rates were stable from 2006-2008 and distress levels did not rise. Additionally, a substantial portion of youth reported involvement in perpetrating harassment or unwanted encounters. The definitions and measurements used in the survey were also important to consider in interpreting the results.

This document summarizes research on selfies and their impact on marketing. A survey of 226 participants was conducted to understand why people take selfies and their opinions on selfies and marketing. The majority of respondents were female, aged 18-22 or 40+, and Caucasian. Data analysis found that people take selfies primarily to gain acceptance, though they are insecure about their true motivations. Products featured in friends' selfies can impact purchase intent, especially from friends they like. Females aged 18-22 are most likely to take selfies. The discrepancies in survey responses indicate people do not understand their true motivations for posting selfies, which is to gain social acceptance. The research recommends companies use selfies in
This presentation on AFAO's recent work with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities was given by Michael Frommer at the SiREN Symposium in Perth, June 2016.
The document outlines a four-phase activity to develop culturally appropriate online health resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as well as several CALD populations in Australia. The activity will be overseen by ASHM and involves auditing existing resources, consulting with communities, developing new resources, distributing and promoting them, and evaluating their uptake. Key steps include establishing advisory committees, reviewing current resources, holding workshops to prioritize new materials, subcontracting organizations to create resources, and measuring the impact through surveys and web analytics. The goal is to prevent blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections among these at-risk communities through improved health education.
The document discusses changes to the structure and priorities of AFAO for 2016/17. Due to funding changes, AFAO's international program will expand while its domestic program shrinks.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.

Wrapped or raw - Pos-Pos sex
1.
2. BACKGROUND
Prevention has become more complex
With the advent of technologies such as viral load
monitoring (on which to base an assessment of sexual
risk) gay men may have adapted their sexual behaviours.
Challenges
To develop prevention campaigns that:
- adapt to HIV positive gay men‟s sexual practices [and]
- include the way new understandings of risk and safety
(e.g. non-condom based risk reduction strategies such
as viral load or sero-sorting) are incorporated in their
sexual lives.
3. BACKGROUND
An external evaluation of „SEX PIGS: Dark and dirty sex
and managing your health‟ (2009) highlighted the
challenges in developing targeted HIV prevention and
education messages for sexually adventurous men.
It assessed the impact condom reinforcement messages
had on the credibility or believability of a campaign
targeting men who had made a decision not to use
condoms in preference to other risk reduction practices.
Experienced sexually adventurous men dismissed
campaign messages as they see sexual adventurism and
safe sex as incongruent ideas. Because sexual
adventurism is about “indulging fantasies” and “letting go”,
the association of safe sex lacked credibility.

5. BACKGROUND
GET THE FACTS
In contrast, these men reported that campaign materials
based on factual information - „GET THE FACTS:
SYPHILLIS‟ and „KNOW THE FACTS: SEX AND HEP C‟-
engage and therefore have the opportunity to persuade.
They found this approach “hands responsibility” to the
individual and may be harder to reject on the grounds that
it is not “patronising”.
Information on syphilis and sexually acquired hep C was
seen as “new and highly relevant”.
7. BACKGROUND
Drawing on formative research (1:1, group interviews) and
campaign development (website, video stories), Positive
Life NSW developed “Wrapped or Raw – POS-POS Sex”
(WoR) which looks at choices made by HIV-positive gay
men about using condoms in pos-pos sex and offers some
options to minimise risk, manage disclosure and have
great sex.
While condom use with casual partners of unknown or different HIV
status is a key message, this campaign also recognises there are
different limits and boundaries (e.g. different levels of knowledge or
communication and negotiation skills) for gay men in different sexual
contexts (e.g. different sexual scenes and networks).
12. DESCRIPTION
Drawing on the recent evaluation of „WoR‟ this paper will
examine :
the key role of gay sexual/social networking sites to
target „hard-to-reach‟ populations [and]
some of the current issues affecting HIV positive gay
men and educators
13. Online evaluation
Strategies
A coordinated email broadcast, banners and blog/video
launched “WoR” across Manhunt, Manhunt Daily, and
Manhunt Cares.
An email broadcast campaign evaluation consisting of
23 multiple choice and one open-ended question was
sent to all active (past year 2010) Manhunt NSW
members (19,500).
Analyses consisted of health campaign distribution
metrics and evaluation responses with a focus on type
of media consumed, message type, and perceived
effectiveness across men with and without HIV.
14. Online evaluation
Results
From 11/2010-7/2011 campaign promotion results
revealed a total of 10,418 unique visits to the WoR
website: 7,345(70.5%) from Manhunt, 2,120(20.3%)
from Manhunt Daily, 953(9.2%) from Manhunt Cares
and nearly 15,100+ views of the video, 13,095(97%)
from Manhunt Cares.
Campaign evaluation revealed 1,533 unique visits to the
online survey and 1,326(85%) completed responses.

17. Relevance
70% of survey respondents said the campaign
addressed a relevant or somewhat relevant issue of the
choices HIV positive men make in using condoms during
sex with other men with HIV.
18. Concern among HIV-positive men
HIV positive survey respondents indicated STIs, syphilis
and hep C are important issues of concern.
Condom use and HIV re-infection are of lesser concern
19. Manhunt Email Recall
30% recall HIV positive respondents
39% recall under 29 year olds
39% recall men living in rural or regional areas
20. Advertisement Recall
50% recall among HIV positive respondents
46% recall under 29 year olds and 30-39 year olds
21. Impact of campaign
Among survey respondents who visited the website, the
campaign was effective at exploring risk and getting them
to think about their own risk taking.
77 per cent of survey respondents rated it effective or
somewhat effective at exploring sex and risk taking among
men with HIV.
72 per cent of survey respondents indicated it was useful
in helping them to think about their own risk taking
behaviour.
22. Responses
Video Stories
Survey respondents reported the benefits in “seeing real
guys” talking about topics such as disclosure and handling
“no”; negotiating different sexual scenes with new partners;
hooking up on the net; making decisions on whether to use
condoms in pos-pos sex; and what they are or aren‟t
prepared to do during sex and how they communicate this.
These stories give permission for discussions to take place.
23. Responses
The different stories helped them to identify with the information:
Sex is still part of our life as an HIV-positive gay man.
We have choices to make in a pos-pos sex situation.
The stories are real and while you sometimes may not
agree, the guys are honest and upfront. They talk
about the reality of our sexual lives and relationships.
(HIV positive 40-49 years old)
I like the fact these guys are everyday people, which
makes you feel comfortable and interested in what they
have to say. Putting real stories out there also breaks
down HIV stigma. (HIV positive 40-49 years old)
24. Responses
“They were open and honest... it took a little of
the mystery away from knowing someone with
HIV and how they see themselves as sexual
people!” (HIV negative, 30-39 years old)
25. Recommendations
Continue to:
address the issue of risk reduction strategies among HIV
positive gay men … the target audience identifies it as a
relevant issue
address issues related to hep C, syphilis and other STIs
explore ways to promote access to and views of the video
stories - posting them on a variety of websites, blogs and
social media.
26. Recommendations
Continue to:
use the video stories as a way of engaging the audience,
as the feedback (from campaign development focus
groups and survey respondents) on the videos was very
positive – they raised awareness and invited conversations
27. SEO (SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION)

SEO report:
This report analysed „WoR‟s‟ current online presence
and provided feedback on ways to increase visitors to
the website (e.g. increase ranking in search engine result
pages via relevant keywords and terms that describe
„WoR‟).
28. SEO (SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION) REPORT
The current PR (page ranking) for „WoR‟ is 2
32. LESSONS LEARNED
Video stories reproduce ways of relating and learning
about sex. This approach resonated with both HIV-
positive and negative gay men because it both summed
up parts of their experience and allowed critical reflection
on it. This is particularly significant in prevention work.
Partnerships with sexual/social networking sites are
critical to the success of campaigns to target populations
such as young gay men and those living in rural and
regional NSW [and]
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) analysis is crucial to
maximise campaign reach and online presence.
33. RECOMMENDATIONS
Significant reductions in HIV-transmission may be
achieved from combining existing prevention
approaches (condom reinforcement campaigns) along
side targeted education (non-condom based risk
reduction strategies such as viral load) with emerging
biomedical and technological innovation.
New partnerships including sexual/social networking
sites are also integral to this work.
SEO analysis is crucial to increasing online presence
and providing feedback on ways to target populations.
Utilise video stories to invite conversations on
negotiating sex and to enhance traditional „information-
dissemination‟
34. RECOMMENDATION
Do we really know our target ?
- Younger gay men (both positive and negative),
who do not identify as “sex pigs” or “SAMS” or
any other label?
- A scene men move in and out of, not:
> wholly descriptive of the person they are [or]
> characteristic of every time they have sex
occasional (opportunistic)
Current campaigns not seen as relevant ( “not me”)
35. Thank you to all the men who have taken part in
campaign development. It is an act of generosity
on their part to share their stories with us.
