10. 9 BIG THEMES FOR 2009

11. 9 Big Themes
1. We‘re in the BETA economy
No other medium allows you to launch, test, re-launch,

test, measure, tweak, re-tweak, evolve, re-launch, quite
like the Web
Folks like Guy Kawasaki and Seth Godin preach

about this all the time. Guy launched his Truemors
service on a shoestring budget and uses Twitter to
promote it.
When budgets get cut – marketers look to digital for

new ways of testing out ideas vs. big bang and big
budget initiatives (think Bud.TV)
Customers are OK with BETA!


12. 9 Big Themes
2. Marketers use existing platforms
Why build from scratch
when you can use NING as
a social network, Wordpress
as a CMS, Basecamp as a
Collaboration tool and
Concept Share as a way to
co-create.
Now is a great time to dig
into the already existing
platforms (in addition to
existing social networks). How can we NOT build this ourselves?

13. 9 Big Themes
3. Marketers are just switching tubes
Consider skipping mass TV all
together.
It worked for BMW films and
with YouTube firmly in place — it
can even work with less
production values and high
priced talent.
Consider ways to make the
participant the star!

14. 9 Big Themes
4. It‘s all about the data… (and conversation!)
BRANDS are learning how to follow through

 CUSTOMERS expect relevance
 Customers and media DO NOT chase
companies
 Customer data > information > knowledge
> wisdom > understanding > connection
= HOLY GRAIL for retention and long term
success
 CRM and Social Media make it easy to
connect

15. 9 Big Themes
5. Marketing: To touch point infinity, and
beyond!
Don‘t put all your digital eggs in one

basket like a site or banner
campaign—look at smart ways to
distribute the experience across as
many touch points as possible.
Be smart about it. Think about how your

user thinks and acts digitally and meet
them in them medium.
Of course this doesn‘t have to be

digital, but you might get more bang
for your buck.

16. 9 Big Themes
6. Marketers trade focus groups for
Digital Ethnography
Research dollars converted to social media

currency (Victoria‘s Secret)
Look to the internet & social media for

insights.
Social Networks and search engines can be

rich ethnography tools. I‘m not advocating to
abandon field research—but before you
slash that discovery phase, think about how
digital can be used to find things about the
behavior of your target.

17. 9 Big Themes
7. Marketers think outside the banner
Think about traditional media buys such as

banners differently.
They should no longer be the first line of

offense in a digital initiative.
Quality may replace quantity—Apple’s

recent entry into the online banner space
taught us that banners can still work—but the
ROI improves with creativity.
Social ads, blog outreach and other

‗participation‘ based media spends could
prove more effective.

18. 9 Big Themes Yankelowich
8. Marketers embrace ‗delight by function‘
The digital media/ tools/

network/ widget becomes the
product…and the marketing
When tempted to cut budgets in

digital product functionality—think
again.
Adding or improving existing

functionality may lead to product
preference which increases
revenue, sales and even saves
money. (think widgets)

19. 9 Big Themes Yankelowich
9. Marketers listen to New Media
Digital gives you many ways to listen to customers

– from direct engagement like Dell‘s IdeaStorm
or My Starbucks Idea to simple surveys or even
A:B testing.
All are excellent examples of using digital to

turn up the volume on customer desires.
Those brands that do the best job listening will

weather any downturn.

20. How to control
millions of inaccurate
and divergent
conversations ?
YOU DON’T
Consumers are beginning in a very real sense to own our brands and participate
in their creation … We need to begin to learn to let go.
A.G. Lafley, CEO and Chairman of P&G, October 2006
(cc) Lynette Webb, 2006

21. “Every brand needs to be relevant and part
of a community. They need to open a
dialogue with their consumers, but they also
need to be prepared for what could be
negative feedback and I don’t think all
marketers are ready for that.”
- Bob Ivins, EVP, comScore
