The world is changing...
“To find something comparable, you have to go back 500 years to the printing press, the birth of mass media – which, incidentally, is what really destroyed the old world of kings and aristocracies. Technology is shifting power away from the editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now it‟s the people who are taking control.”
Rupert Murdoch, Wired magazine

The world is changing...
“ Less than a decade ago, people described the act of „going online‟ as venturing into some foreign realm called „cyberspace‟. But that metaphor no longer applies. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and all the other newcomers aren‟t places to go, but things to do, ways to express yourself, means to connect with others and extend your own horizons. Cyberspace was somewhere else. The Web is where we live.”

Trying to keep up with digital
is a bit like this...

“As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don‟t know we don‟t know.”

“How much value lies untapped in existing corporate and
public data streams? My guess is a lot. How many
companies are truly joining up their data to extract and
interpret the kind of intangible insight that has real tangible
value? My guess is very few. That, to me, has opportunity
written all over it.”

League matches on TV whilst playing it in real-time on a computer, iPhone or
iPod touch
• „Dual screen‟ digital initiative transforms TV watching into a social interactive
experience for football fans. The game taps into competitive banter of the
fans by creating a live TV game experience that can be played from
wherever they are watching the game
• Overlay to live football matches, first global example of a social media
gaming platform. Fans watch the football on TV while playing StarPlayer in
real-time, anticipating events on the pitch live and making decisions on what
will happen in next few seconds
• „Dual screen‟ technology involves time-dependent decisions on play
Heineken „dual screen‟ game
• To score points, fans anticipate what will happen at key moments such as corners,
free kicks, and penalties, E.g. if the shot will be saved or if there will be a goal in the
next 30 seconds. With every correct forecast, fans gain points. Through the
„Interactive Champions League‟, they can also compete and share with their
friends via Facebook and with other players around the world.

Champions League, creating a more social experience around watching and
enjoying the matches. For Heineken to be able to bring the excitement and
competition of these premium matches to the actual fingertips of the fans through
the cutting edge „dual screen‟ technology of Star Player really showcases our
commitment to providing extraordinary innovative experiences for fans.”

• “In general, the industry suffers
from the emphasis on click-through rate. I feel very confident
based on results that we're
seeing, especially when friends
are recommending to friends. Research shows that, on average,
people are 68% more likely to
remember seeing the ad if their
friend has recommended it and twice as likely to remember the
message of the ad. (Nielsen). To
us, what's more powerful than click-through is, “Are people
paying attention to the message and remembering it?” ”
Carolyn Everson

Online display
• The most like traditional press advertising
• Banners like strip on a newspaper magazine
page
• Debate: interruptive formats vs. permission
• Stunning effects rapidly get boring/ annoying
• Just because it can be done doesn't mean its
right for your brand
• TEST but also apply judgement

• There is no perfect online media mix
• Budgets allocated on a test & refine basis
• Early stage online advertising may well have high
wastage
• Later stage campaigns should still contain a test

Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google
in 1998. Using a friend's garage as their base
of operations, they only settled on a name
after misspelling the maths term „googol‟.
Google's combination of clever search
algorithms and sophisticated ad program
AdWords propelled it to the top of the search
engine market. It has stayed there ever since.

Yahoo!
• Yahoo is struggling; CEO and co-founder Jerry Yang resigned at the end of 2008
• Has continued to lose search engine market share under new CEO Carol Bartz
• On July 29th 2009, Yahoo agreed „the unthinkable‟ and appointed Microsoft‟s Bing as its exclusive search platform. Soon the former „king of search‟ will soon only show results from its arch-rival
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Bing
• Microsoft Bing, the successor to MSN Live
Search, launched in June 2009 with a
reported £60 million marketing budget
• Bing quickly established itself as a serious rival
to Google. Total searches on Microsoft were
up 22 per cent in a single month (Nielsen)
• comScore confirms that Bing is still on the up;
Yahoo!/Bing share nearly 30% in US in 2011

Search Engine Optimisation (= SEO)
“Search engine optimization (SEO) is the
process of improving the volume or quality of
traffic to a web site from search engines via
"natural" or un-paid ("organic” search results.
Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears
in the search results list, the more visitors it will
receive from the search engine.”

Blog?)
• Help the search engines to find it (SEO)
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Your Website/SEO

-on a Mac? -on a mobile device?
• You‟re competing with Amazon, BBC, eBay
• Help the customer to find what they want
• Good signposting : “Where am I?”
• Don‟t have any dead-ends/ broken links
• “Disloyalty is only one click away”
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Your Website/SEO
• Make your website somewhere you'd be
proud for a (potential) customer to wander
around unaccompanied
• Then find (potential) customers and
encourage them to go there (drive traffic)
• Make it interesting and useful for them to
return regularly...

• You only pay when someone clicks
BUT:
• Easy to spend up to your limit
• Certain „keywords‟ very competitive
(eg „mobile phones‟, „accountancy services‟)
• „Clicks‟ doesn‟t mean „sales‟ (!)

Web analytics
“Google Analytics is a fantastic tool: from the moment you arrange to have the tracking
code installed and you experience the thrill or angst of your first reports appearing , showing how real people are interacting with your business.”

What‟s Next?
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
7 things that are going to be
big(ger) in digital marketing - soon
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
First thing
Mobile esp. Android phones Vs. iPhone
• iPhone has been a „game changer‟
• Google Android platform is bringing smartphones to the masses
• iPhone apps have been high impact but for the few and mainly disposable
• Android apps will find a significant market
• Augmented reality, location-based services
• Mobile will come into its own
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Second thing
Social Media (again)
Companies will get their act together
• Set objectives
• Plan staffing
• Interdepartmental teams
• Clear guidelines
• Empower key people
• Listen before you speak
• „Joined - up social media‟
Budgets moving from traditional to digital and from
„traditional digital‟ (online display and search) into SM
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Third thing
Online video display advertising
• The power of TV
• User in control
• Customised to your preferences
• Available on demand
• „Killer app‟
• Follow the guidelines
• Easy to opt-out
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Fourth thing
In-game advertising
• If you create the game you can build in ads
• Everything can be for sale
• Name awareness less powerful than full integration into plot/ story (product placement)
• Growing area as consumer leisure patterns change
• COD Black Ops was biggest entertainment launch EVER
• Hybrid products (game/TV show/ website)
• „Gamification‟ – FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Foursquare
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Fifth thing Tablet computers (following Apple iPad)
• Not a mobile device
• Not a laptop
• Doesn't support Flash
BUT:
• Very intuitive web browsing experience
• „Powerful enough‟
• Has created a new sector
• iPad 2 will be more powerful (and no more expensive)
• More tablets will be launched

Sixth thing Search is changing
• a) Bing challenging Google?
• Microsoft-Yahoo deal clears regulation (US and EU)
• Real competition in search?
• Microsoft making big plans
• Google innovating all the time
• A long way to go...
b) Real-time search means 'real-time SEO„
• Twitter posts previously ignored may be relevant
• Recency is powerful: “what are people saying about X right now?”
• Much of Facebook invisible to Search Engines
• Social media converging with off-site SEO (tweets drive traffic)
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Seventh thing Big Ad agencies getting into Digital; end of the „d‟ word?
“Yes”
They have the client relationships
They have clever planners
They can offer strategic and creative integrity
They are aware where the money is going...
______________________________________________________
“No”
Slow to move/ change
Not into techie stuff/ eCommerce
Sub contract digital out to specialist agencies anyway(!)
Still in love with TV...
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Consistency
• Ad agency planners used to say:
“Your brand should behave like a friend. The
same person on the phone, in a letter or in the
pub.”
• INTEGRATED MARKETING: catalogue, phone call,
sales visit, website, email
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Offline driving web traffic
All elements of your marketing can
and should work together
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
Big ideas still matter
“It takes a big idea to attract the attention of
consumers and get them to buy your product.
Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it
will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more
than one campaign in a hundred contains a
big idea.”
David Ogilvy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suRDUFpsHus

Digital Marketing Budget

Don‟t embrace „the future‟ for the sake of it
“The future‟s already here, it‟s
just unevenly distributed.” William Gibson, 1999

Past and future will always co-exist
The past is still here too – it‟s just
so evenly distributed that it
blends into the background

The future?
• Increasing integration of Digital into the Marketing Mix
• Yes: it‟s all marketing

©2011 Mike Berry Associates

and build brands
• Experiment and learn
• Set clear objectives
• Measure results and benchmark
• Consider the overall effect of the
communication
• No-one has all the answers
