marketing: life & the like economy
DESCRIPTION
This talk was presented at Marketing Kingdom, Zagreb, 15 March 2013. #Kingdom13 - feedback and reactions. Ideas on Social & Innovation Waves Socia is whatever we want it to be. Some of the greatest marketing minds are even themselves at odds for how to tackle social... yet it's all quite simple. It has to be. We also look at the history of innovation, from early water power and printing to the industrial revolution and now digital. The cycles of innovation has accelerated with this Fifth Wave - the digital evolution. We also talk of the highly recommended book - Crossing the Chasm - from Geoffrey Moore, where companies can learn how to cross their own business canyons.. to translate their traditional businesses into more enduring C21st entities online. Touching on changes in media too, from the reversal of the traditional broadcasting model to more consumer-held models, we now need to feed consumers branded and crucially unbranded stories, which they can use within their own networks and groups. Other topics we need to engage more in for social include better attention to what consumers and audiences are already saying. Responsiveness will win the day with more demonstrable engagement from the winning brands being increasingly recognized the mainstream public. Social media will continue to be a fore-runner in customer care and service, even cross and up-selling too. Revisiting some important fundamentals in marketing and management, this talk also engages C-suite level debate on issues and opportunities affecting the industries of advertising, digital and public relations, as they increasingly converge and messages become no longer tied to particular channels. Overall talk length: 45mins, interactive.TRANSCRIPT

Some ideas on Social “Marketing is no longer about
the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.”
– Seth Godin
“New marketing is about the relationships, not the medium.” – Ben Grossman
“A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is – it is what consumers tell each other it is.” – Scott Cook
“What used to be cigarette breaks could turn into ‘social
media breaks’ as long as there is a clear signal and IT isn’t looking.”

Know your customers Share their interests
Consumer conversations are already taking place… Seek them out and join in.
Not all content needs branding – think topically.
Unbranded content has a role too.
Listen Good
Engage Me Personally

Social Media Engagement
Intensity and way of using social media differs greatly per country.
![Page 12: Marketing: Life & The Like Economy](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5552df64b4c905014c8b4cd3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Social Media is a platform Not a solution
Conversations already taking place …. Brand talked about anywhere, so join in. Lead don’t force.
Changing how you communicate
![Page 13: Marketing: Life & The Like Economy](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5552df64b4c905014c8b4cd3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How we ‘Think’ we decide LOSS AVERSION – we avoid risk People more motivated by fear of a
loss than hope of a gain. CONTROL – pick your numbers DENOMINATION EFFECT - penny wise ISSUES ANCHORING - Logic gets lost
MONEY ILLUSION - Loyalty has a value 2% pay cut is unfair, yet only a 2% rise in income where there’s been 4% inflation, is considered fair!
REACTANCE – reverse psychology eg ‘warning’
POST-PURCHASE RATIONALISATION People will overlook product problems to
justify their purchase decision. BANDWAGON EFFECT – Peer influence
It’s time to engage mindsets not ‘demographics’

“Consumer demographics have overtaken
conventional branding efforts, redefining the media
landscape.”

People react most to people…
Yet marketers still speak of ‘advertising’
