THE RISE (AND RISE) OF THE SUPER EMPOWERED HYPER-CONNECTED CONSUMER
Two way communicationEngagement not advertisingBrand personalisationBuild advocacy
PRIVACY IS OBSOLETE
Transparency
No separation of public, private or professional identity
Everyone is connected to everyone, everywhere, all the time
“MARKETS ARE CONVERSATIONS”
“Consumers” are no longer isolated, they converse about you and your products en masse online
These conversations can be positive or negative and there is nothing you can do to prevent them
The people will get their information about products and services from each other, not your marketing materials
People speak human to each other, you speak corporate to them. Learn to speak human (again) or become irrelevant, fast
It is not just your marketing department who is providing the voice and eyes and ears to your organisation, it is everyone who works for you. Let them interact with people
The Cluetrain Manifesto, 1999.
