3. Know customers as an individual
And if we don’t already, we design our
interactions to get to know them better.
Make them lean forward
Always get the customer to lean forward,
participate and engage with the brand – never
just have them sit back and receive.
Show them what’s next
Brands invest a lot of money in establishing the
initial contact. That investment is wasted if the
first encounter is not turned into a more lasting
relationship.
“We sell, or else.”
8. All marketing content should lift the brand,
create demand, increase sales or diminish
the impact of competitive voices.

an accord is drawn between the goals of the brand
and the desires of the users.

Three game changers

15. 1. Know exactly what the brand’s primary business goal is and
how you need to the consumer to engage to accomplish it.
Only develop content that leads towards this goal.
2. Use consumer data to define, dictate and develop
messaging, calendars and distribution as it pertains to the
exact point in your customer’s journey.
3. Take control of your Owned, Earned, Paid ecosystem – don’t
let traditional behaviors lead.
Three ways a brand can win with content

the brand, Twitter allows SAL to have 1:1 dialogue with customers in real-time –
