WHY SOCIAL MATTERS
+ Rethinking Relationships+ Any Marketing professional will talk about how to move
a consumer across a brand portfolio and drive business across the bottomline. Primarily executed in rather linear a “push” Marketing fashion, this framework fast becoming obsolete.
+ Social connectivity means that a brands existence within the social construct or social fabric of the consumer’s everyday life is far more pertinent.

Brand will have to consider how consumers express, share, network, consume and the context and location for which this takes place.
+ The most success brands and services are the ones that are differentiated by the networks they create, and the relationships they create with users and between users. Our social nature is what “powers” this human behavior and motivation.

FUTURE OF BRANDING

18
+ Brands need to move beyond their “episodic” and “transactional” nature of engaging customers and embrace the notion that every inflection point in which the brand is experienced shapes the affinity we have for them. These inflection points are comprised of a series of micro-interactions that culminate into our holistic brand experience.
+ And in this day in age, it is the experience economy that is now driving every product category. Those experiences will play around in our life stream annotated by social platforms.
THE FUTURE
19
+ Brands must create “narratives” for their positioning stick.
+ The UX is the single most important concept in business today. So position the product or service experience around the customer and not the feature set.
+ Create places for the brand to act more human.
THE FUTURE
20
+ In the era of socially oriented Marketing, brands must balance all 4 customer drives simultaneously: drive to acquire possessions and status; drive to bond with others; drive to learn and understand; and the drive to defend what they deem important.
+ Strategic planning must now be based on researching the social context of the customer’s decision journey.

+ Twitter will debut a new social ratings model this fall.
+ All of your favorite shows are ratings dogs (i.e. Mad Men).
+ A show’s tweetability may one day be just as crucial as the sheer size of its audience.
+ Under the new and emerging TV model, the social affinity of a show (fans, followers, level of engagement) are just as critical to the health of a show as looking at Nielsen Ratings.
