4. No, advertising is not dead...
... But there has been a shift!
• Advertisers must start being honest and authentic
• Advertising must be less intrusive, interruptive - more
subtle
• To win consumers’ attention, advertisers must connect
with consumers in their day-to-day lives
• Advertisers must listen to customers, create and deliver
new (meaningful) experiences and value-rich
conversations on or off our corporate domain.
5. Word-of-mouth often under-valued
• A consumer mentions specific brands over 90 times per week
• 90% of consumers online trust recommendations from people
they know
• 70% trust opinions of unknown users.
• 67% of shoppers spend more online after recommendations from
online community of friends
• Consumer recommendations are among the most credible
advertising
• Facebook, blogs, Twitter and customer
reviews are considered the most effective
tactics for mobilizing consumers to talk up
products online.

17. #8 The 80/20 rule is flipping
• OLD: Spend 80 percent of your budget on media
• OLD: Spend 20 percent on creative
• A move from larger, general-interest audiences to
smaller, special-interest audiences. From Paid media to
a combination of Paid, Owned & Earned. From ‘place
and leave’ to ‘optimise for performance’.
• NEW: Spend 80 percent on strategy & creative?
• NEW: Spend 20 percent of your budget on media?
18. #9 Be flexible – test, optimise, refine
