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.

16.
+ 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.

REWRITING THE RULES
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.
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.
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.

The future of social intelligence will resemble more of a central intelligence

MODERN Era of Viewership

+ 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.
