The Pitfalls
Not enough were read
Not enough made money
Not enough were influential
Most non tech Brands lost the plot
Consumption patterns changed
Attention span deteriorated in different age group
AND the MAA-BAAP came into being
FaceBook - Twitter
And soon a host of others followed.

Suddenly everybody could write what they wanted, communicate with whom they wanted, with
They did not have to worry about seo, google, foogle, traffic, shaffic
Just post, tweet, interact build and cater to an audience at no cost at all.

Shortening the learning curve.
Power without responsibility & accountability
Can communicate, want money?

Consumer vs Brand
All this happened in less than 5 years. Consumers became savvy at the speed of light.
Most Brands still trying to find the switch, bulb.
So today they try to feel their way with the help of Agencies, evangelists, experts on how to navigate this thing called ‘Digital & Social Media’
Current Scenario
More than 60% blogs on FB/Twitter Bio do not have a post in the last 6 months
But, there are still serious bloggers some who do it for love, passion but mostly moolah or power.
Media/Brands wants bloggers, but payment? - Exposure and Freebies

The consumer rules the roost, whilst brands try to learn.
Anybody with a semblance of following is willing to thrash, work for the brand as long as it pays.
Does the agency know scientifically how to handle this for brands - some do, most don’t

My Way : HighWay
Brands want to control the dissemination, communication, experience.
Consumers want brands to listen to them even when they’re wrong.
Who is winning?
The Jury is out! There are no clear winners. Sometimes the consumer. But mostly the Brands.
Our Way
Where are you on this?
