engagement is being driven by Companies that provide Consumers with Control and utility

The marketplace focus is shifting to social platforms, applications and new technology offerings, creating increasing fragmentation of mindshare for brands.

New gatekeepers to brand interactions are emerging.

Consumers spending time with soCial platforms not brands

Consumers determine where they’ll spend their time based on what provides them with the most perceived value.

It’s a massive challenge to traditional marketing philosophies.

relevanCe is getting harder and harder to maintain

To capture attention and remain relevant, brands must shift how they think and provide more utility and invite the consumer to take more control over their brand.

Brands that fail to acknowledge this new role with the consumer will struggle to remain relevant.

Page 6: Conversations in Social Media

the reality is: this is the new normal

Consumers are only increasing their reliance on technology and the new communication styles it helps to create. The way that consumers choose to interact has forever changed.

but we still don’t have our arms wrapped around the impaCt

Many brands feel ill prepared to develop strategic social media marketing programs.

“ According to a study conducted by the Harvard Business Review, only 12 percent of companies surveyed indicated that they were effective users of social media, and just 7 percent said they were able to integrate social media into their marketing activities.” —“ The Power of Like,” comScore

To better understand the future implications, we wanted to better understand the behaviors of consumers and brands TODAY.

It’s clear that many brands are flocking to social media to engage consumers.

“ By 2016, advertisers will spend $77 billion on interactive marketing— as much as they do on television today.” —Shar Van Boskirk, Forrester Analyst

But they aren’t doing so with a clear understanding of their social capital (awareness, status, perception, equity) and brand voice and how and where it will allow them to engage with consumers today.

what we found together

Page 12: Conversations in Social Media

it is Clear we are entering an age of Conversation

Many brands haven’t defined:

¬ The role they play in conversation

¬ The type of conversation they want to have

¬ The extendability of social capital and brand voice

¬ The rule sets for having engaging conversations

¬ Brands must understand their role in conversations with consumers and how to

be clear on the story they tell

¬ Consumers must receive expected value to continue engaging in conversations

¬ Brands need to establish a clear strategy for the type of conversation they wish

to initiate

¬ Conversations must be built on social capital and fit within brand voice to build

relationships with consumers

what does this mean for brands?
