I love lines and graphics...

And I know someone...



 © TOTAL IDENTITY
Who loved lines too...



 © TOTAL IDENTITY
He created a character in
1969 called La Linea.

And who better than La
Linea...


 © TOTAL IDENTITY
Can explain my newest
little theory


 © TOTAL IDENTITY
A theory that starts with a
line.


 © TOTAL IDENTITY
And ends in a graphic.



 © TOTAL IDENTITY
So here it comes.



 © TOTAL IDENTITY
La Linea presents my line.

                   A time line .
With another axis in
reach.


 © TOTAL IDENTITY
In early days, a news
event was spread only via
word of mouth. The reach
was limited.

 event                              time
 © TOTAL IDENTITY
As time went by, more and
more means of
communication were
introduced. A news event
had more reach and faster
at it’s peak of reach.




                                           community




                                                local

 event                              time
 © TOTAL IDENTITY
More and more reach
because of printed media,
mail services and
telegraph. The reach went
beyond communities.
Mass media was
introduced.




                                           large audiences




                                               community




                                                     local

 event                              time
 © TOTAL IDENTITY
Mass media like radio and
television made it possible
to reach almost everyone
within a short period.




                                                   everyone




                                             large audiences




                                                 community




                                                       local

The resulting graph is
exactly the same as is
used in life cycle analysis.
This can be used to
describe the different
types of people to target
in communication.

                                                        Life Cycle Analysis
Mass media became so
expensive that a clear gap
was introduced between
local and community news
and broadcasted news.

                                                          A gap appears
                                                        between local and public
Two separate forms of
communication were
introduced: local and
community
communication and
broadcasting and mass
media. With a big gap in
between.

                                                           Broadcast gap
This gap is now fillled in
by online channels. A local
event can become world
news based on
uniqueness, impact and
creativity in
communication.

                                                         Bridging the gap
                                                      making use of online channels
Creativity in online
communication results in
more use of blogs,
guerrilla techniques and
viral spreading using
social media. And the good
think is...This theory also
holds for organizations!
The term ‘event’ can be
used for a news event, a
live event or gathering but
also and organization. The
only thing that changes is                                                                                 everyone

What happens now is that
the public changes. More
and more people are used
to a changing
environment. More and
more (young) people adapt
to the ever changing input
by becoming more
adoptive and innovative.
This results in changing
use of modern AND
traditional forms of
commmunication.                                                                                                        everyone

A new late majority
appears that follow other

follow the hypes but rely
on more steady sources.
Sources that the have
commitment and loyalty
to: branded sources. Lots
of times these sources are
‘old” brands that have
earned their trust in the
past.

                                                            A gap appears
                                                       early adopters vs. (late) majority
This adoption gap spilts
society almost in two:
young versus old,
sensitive to exposure
versus more to
themselves, extravert
versus introvert,
innovative and adaptive
versus conservatives. But
more and more
pragmatists stop
following the hypes...

                                                          Adoption gap
One approach is to focus on
the hype sensitive market.
When one hype lifts of you
start thinking about the next
one. So there it is: the
market works from hype to
hype. A stressed market that
is scattered in effect.
Effects that die out soon and
cost energy.

                                                               corporate



                                                         large audiences
                                                                targeted

                                                                   local

                                From hype to hype
                                  a strenuous approach
For a dynamic (future?)
public this creates a new
equilibrium that you could
call identity. In literature
this is often faslely called
“brand flow”. I call this the
hypification of a brand.




                                                                     everyone

                               The hype approach
                                working from hype to hype
                               for a hype sensitive audience
My problem with the focus
on a hype sensitive public -
and the reason why I do not
call this “brand flow” - is
that you miss a group that is
becoming larger and larger.
This more conservative
public follows classic
principles. Maybe in the
future everyone is dynamic
but not now. So do not leave
out this large audience. A
new approach is needed.                                                    everyone
                                                                           corporate



                                                                     large audiences
                                                                            targeted



                                                                          community
                                                                        focus groups




                                                                               local

                                Classic identity approach
                                  building up an identity (slowly)
                                  for a less hype sensitive public
In stead of focussing on one
or the other I advice to
combine the two: use
hypesensitive means of
communication like guerrilla
aimed at the right target
audience to revitalize the
brand and gain impact. Use
programatic publishing and
durable communication to
involve the majority. Be
persistent, direct the
unexpeted, work in                                                       everyone

                                                                      focus groups

                               and guerrilla/social media impact
This results in a durable
reputation that also makes
use of impact caused by
hypesensitive campaigns
and ‘scoops’. This is depicted
by the yellow line.

                                 and guerrilla/social media impact
The result of a bipolar
approach is an organisation
that can be op top of things
and works and
communicates at its best. Itt
is an organization or brand
in “brand flow”. It follows it’s
autheticity but also uses
impact (hype) for activating
and reactivating the brand.
But combining reputation
management and impact the
organisation rules it’s own                                                                                      everyone

  • 17. As time went by, more and more means of communication were introduced. A news event had more reach and faster at it’s peak of reach. community local reach event time © TOTAL IDENTITY
  • 18. More and more reach because of printed media, mail services and telegraph. The reach went beyond communities. Mass media was introduced. large audiences community local reach event time © TOTAL IDENTITY
  • 19. Mass media like radio and television made it possible to reach almost everyone within a short period. everyone large audiences community local reach event time © TOTAL IDENTITY
  • 20. The resulting graph is exactly the same as is used in life cycle analysis. This can be used to describe the different types of people to target in communication. everyone large audiences community local event innovators early adopters early majority late majority laggards 2,5% 13,5 % pragmatists conservatists 16 % 34 % 34 % © TOTAL IDENTITY Life Cycle Analysis
  • 21. Mass media became so expensive that a clear gap was introduced between local and community news and broadcasted news. everyone large audiences community local event innovators early adopters early majority late majority laggards 2,5% 13,5 % pragmatists conservatists 16 % 34 % 34 % © TOTAL IDENTITY A gap appears between local and public
  • 22. Two separate forms of communication were introduced: local and community communication and broadcasting and mass media. With a big gap in between. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local event innovators early adopters early majority late majority laggards 2,5% 13,5 % pragmatists conservatists 16 % 34 % 34 % © TOTAL IDENTITY Broadcast gap
  • 23. This gap is now fillled in by online channels. A local event can become world news based on uniqueness, impact and creativity in communication. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local event innovators early adopters early majority late majority laggards 2,5% 13,5 % pragmatists conservatists 16 % 34 % 34 % © TOTAL IDENTITY Bridging the gap making use of online channels
  • 24. Creativity in online communication results in more use of blogs, guerrilla techniques and viral spreading using social media. And the good think is...This theory also holds for organizations! The term ‘event’ can be used for a news event, a live event or gathering but also and organization. The only thing that changes is everyone the timeframe and corporate perspective. large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters early majority late majority laggards 2,5% 13,5 % pragmatists conservatists 16 % 34 % 34 % © TOTAL IDENTITY
  • 25. What happens now is that the public changes. More and more people are used to a changing environment. More and more (young) people adapt to the ever changing input by becoming more adoptive and innovative. This results in changing use of modern AND traditional forms of commmunication. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards pragmatists conservatists © TOTAL IDENTITY Changing public more dynamic and innovative
  • 26. (a lot more) Than half of the public is more and more used to a changing environment. And they expect brands and organizations to change accordingly. While remaining recognizable and authentic... everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards pragmatists conservatists © TOTAL IDENTITY Change is the new equilibrium for a future audience
  • 27. And it also leads to hypification of communication. Events spread extraordinarily within fast. 48 hrs enormous reach everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards % % pragmatists conservatists % % % © TOTAL IDENTITY Hypes spread fast because of social media
  • 28. But the hype also dies out fast. The damage is than done - sometimes permanently - but focus of within the public is on other hypes. Viral spreading 24 hrs starts to look like a locust plague: it appears, it’s gone demolishes and is gone.... everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards % % pragmatists conservatists % % % © TOTAL IDENTITY And die out... even faster
  • 29. And the (late) majority and laggards don’t even know that something happened. And are happy (late) majority with that. No need for all that fuss.... and laggards everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards % % pragmatists conservatists % % % © TOTAL IDENTITY while many don’t even know...
  • 30. A new late majority appears that follow other sources. They do not follow the hypes but rely on more steady sources. Sources that the have commitment and loyalty to: branded sources. Lots of times these sources are ‘old” brands that have earned their trust in the past. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards % % pragmatists conservatists % % % © TOTAL IDENTITY so they fall back on trusted and branded sources
  • 31. A gap appears between the hype sensitive market and the majority that is left behind. They follow more classical means of communication and are less hype sensitive. This group is not so innovative but gain in strength and influence. They don’t follow hypes directly but slowly adapt to new impulses and remain loyal everyone to brands. corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards % % pragmatists conservatists % % % © TOTAL IDENTITY A gap appears early adopters vs. (late) majority
  • 32. This adoption gap spilts society almost in two: young versus old, sensitive to exposure versus more to themselves, extravert versus introvert, innovative and adaptive versus conservatives. But more and more pragmatists stop following the hypes... everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local organisation guerrilla social media campaign post campaign niche blogs event innovators early adopters majority late majority laggards % % pragmatists conservatists % % % © TOTAL IDENTITY Adoption gap
  • 33. One approach is to focus on the hype sensitive market. When one hype lifts of you start thinking about the next one. So there it is: the market works from hype to hype. A stressed market that is scattered in effect. Effects that die out soon and cost energy. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local © TOTAL IDENTITY From hype to hype a strenuous approach
  • 34. For a dynamic (future?) public this creates a new equilibrium that you could call identity. In literature this is often faslely called “brand flow”. I call this the hypification of a brand. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local © TOTAL IDENTITY The hype approach working from hype to hype for a hype sensitive audience
  • 35. My problem with the focus on a hype sensitive public - and the reason why I do not call this “brand flow” - is that you miss a group that is becoming larger and larger. This more conservative public follows classic principles. Maybe in the future everyone is dynamic but not now. So do not leave out this large audience. A new approach is needed. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local © TOTAL IDENTITY Classic identity approach building up an identity (slowly) for a less hype sensitive public
  • 36. In stead of focussing on one or the other I advice to combine the two: use hypesensitive means of communication like guerrilla aimed at the right target audience to revitalize the brand and gain impact. Use programatic publishing and durable communication to involve the majority. Be persistent, direct the unexpeted, work in everyone programs corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local © TOTAL IDENTITY Bipolar approach solid reputation management and guerrilla/social media impact
  • 37. This results in a durable reputation that also makes use of impact caused by hypesensitive campaigns and ‘scoops’. This is depicted by the yellow line. everyone corporate large audiences targeted community focus groups local © TOTAL IDENTITY Bipolar approach solid reputation management and guerrilla/social media impact
  • 38. The result of a bipolar approach is an organisation that can be op top of things and works and communicates at its best. Itt is an organization or brand in “brand flow”. It follows it’s autheticity but also uses impact (hype) for activating and reactivating the brand. But combining reputation management and impact the organisation rules it’s own everyone fate. corporate So do it! state of “brand flow” large audiences targeted community focus groups resulting communication life cycle local © TOTAL IDENTITY Bipolar approach solid reputation management and guerrilla/social media impact
