open exchange without

gatekeepers frightens brands

“

The quote’s from the subheader for this session, started me wondering WHY brands are so frightened. But I guess a harangue is less scary…but much less effective. Recognize this still? From the Mac launch in 1984

This is how many marketers still see their market, they even call them targets. Static non-participatory, recipients of whatever you throw at them

Today’s Consumers

But today the market is lean forward active, not lean back coach potatoes

Tradi4onal 4 P’s

the traditional 4Ps are supplemented by a new 4Ps

With the 5th P, privacy, lurking as a major issue for marketers

people sharing content with people creating content for people

people helping each other;

and bypassing traditional

marketing…like yours

Social media: pure par4cipa4on


digiAindra

traditional marketing was a monologue marketers talked,

people listened (maybe)

social network marketing is a series of conversations

people are tired of monologues, they want

dialogues

Can’t I avoid social media?

§  people can write whatever they want –  that’s how you find what they really

think –  that’s how you build trust –  that’s how you improve

§  it’s a “referred pain” –  social media doesn’t cause complaints –  your lousy service does that –  it’s just where the complaint is expressed –  AND where it can be dealt with

Can’t I avoid social media?

Fear is the path to

the dark side. “Fear leads to anger.

Anger leads to hate.

Hate leads to

A List Apart, April 19 2011

People talking about your message, whether physically or digitally, shows you have their attention…that’s what we want: engagement


digiAindra

Of course, it’s not always good

attention

And the reply from the CEO you can probably find here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dem6eA7-A2I

many think it’s not too authentic The Australian counterpart, not too different, is here

It’s a different issue, but a much more authentic apology, and he gets in several plugs for the store’s address

bad

March 19, 2010: Damage control?

http://www.facebook.com/Nestle?v=feed&story_fbid=107128462646736

After Nestle got YouTube to ban the

video (assuring more uploads and

record views!), Greenpeace had their people ‘fan’ Nestle on FB…

where the moderator

proceeded to abuse critics, and delete

posts

March 19, 2010: Damage control?

http://www.facebook.com/Nestle?v=feed&story_fbid=107128462646736

After a couple of days, pages of posts, the moderator went quiet…and then apologized.

Really sad thing is that

apparently Nestle were trying to remove the palm oil…but completely failed to engage the critics; to harness them; to be seen to be trying hard

3. Engage don’t enrage


digiAindra

So when the palm oil was indeed dropped from KitKat, it was seen as a victory for

Greenpeace, not a responsible action from

Nestle

When things go wrong, and they will, you have

to say sorry. And hopefully have a policy

to show people that they will be

recompensed

quite a while. And started to see the

value of brand advocates

Now we’re starting to realize it’s not a funnel…it’s a

megaphone to help advocates get the word out to

others…the Social Media Megaphone

This is a summary of the award winning campaign from

McCann Romania. A perhaps high risk strategy to create uproar in social media, and rekindle patriotism, by temporarily repackaging a patriotic product

in the US flag. You can see it at
