Speaking of Marketing Channels
What are they and how have they evolved?
![Page 7: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

In the beginning of marketing, word of mouth was the
single channel
![Page 8: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Then came copywriting and of course visual design
And so began the birth of advertising
![Page 9: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
Then came signage and the start of retail
![Page 10: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Even Outdoor advertising has its roots in antiquity
![Page 11: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The Point?
• Throughout history there has been the constant evolution of
communication
• Each Channel began as a revolution, followed a hype cycle and
ended up as another additional communications channel
And the introduction of technology has followed the same pattern…

The printing press gave us newspapers and print advertising

Mass distribution supported the evolution of the catalog
![Page 14: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

And with dawn of the age of electronics, technology didn’t
change the message, just the medium
![Page 15: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
Although it has changed the medium an awful lot
![Page 16: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

And finally, Social Networks
But is Social Media really that new?
![Page 22: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

We all remember the 1:1 Marketer’s favorite image
The New England hardware store,
where they knew who you were, what you wanted
and it was always in stock right when you needed it

But what happened on the way home?
The brand was really built over the back fence
![Page 24: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
And so Social Media wasn’t born…
It just got bigger with a dose of technology
![Page 25: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

In Social Media, technology has served to dramatically
increase the individual’s sphere’s of influence

Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
So how does Social Media fit into Marketing?
First, let’s put it in context
![Page 27: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

It is the fallacy of mass market advertising and traditional
ad agencies that it is the company that owns the brand
![Page 28: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
Advertising and marketing influences brand awareness
![Page 29: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
But advertising cannot mask the reality of the actual
customer experience
![Page 30: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
Genuine customer experience is communicated from
users, to their friends, family and their circles of influence
![Page 31: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
Social media and social networks simply amplify the reach
of an individual’s circle of influence
Without sacrificing the authenticity and
credibility associated with the individual user
![Page 32: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

What Comes Next?
How do we, as marketers, begin to grapple with
Social Media as a marketing channel?
![Page 33: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Start with your business strategy
• What business are you in?
• What makes your company
successful?
• Who are your customers?
• What do they think about you?
• What do you think about them?
• Oh, and what about your employees?
• And your partners, suppliers,
investors, stockholders? What do
they think?
![Page 34: Marketing And Social Media Tmec Oct09](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554adac9b4c9056a798b4aa0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bellevue Seattle Portland Spokane Los Angeles Baltimore London
Then understand your customers
• What kind of people are attracted to
your brand?
• What identities do they want to create
for themselves with your brand?
• What role does your brand fit into
their lives?
• What will motivate them to add your
brand to their collective identity?
• What kind of experience are they
looking for?

Again, What’s the Point?
• Social Media and Social Networks are nothing more than the extension of
each individual’s sphere of influence through the application of technology.
• Social Media has brought to the forefront, a process and a methodology of
human interaction that pre dates both the technology and marketing.
• Social Media owes its influence to the authenticity and credibility of the
individual (or group of individuals) who represent actual users, not personas.
• Social Media Strategies must be rooted in marketing strategies, which are
produced to achieve business strategies.
• Social Media based campaigns can be used to achieve goals at each stage
of the sales pipeline.
And did I mention Social Media can be tasty!
