What is a “Geek Marketer?”
Steve Rubel, Edelman:
“ Cross-trained specialists fluent in marketing and tech and bridge them. Marketers by trade, yet they also have a hard-core interest in technology and social anthropology.
“…they are constantly studying how digital advances are changing our culture and media. Armed with these insights, they regularly apply them in a marketing context by working closely with brand teams to codify new best practices.
“Geek Marketers create competitive advantage through rapid-fire testing and learning.
“… shepherding the development, testing and measurement of all kinds of groundbreaking marketing programs. Their pilots span from the simple, such as building RSS feeds, to the complex, creating multifaceted community programs. “

• Era of abundance means readers are a click away from “next”
• Fracture of mass into the long tail – riches in the niches

• Online brand is moving from share of voice to social
• Time to move beyond lead gen, landing page, microsite based programs
• Something closer to custom publishing integrated with an easily redeployed social media technology

Voices – the reviews
“… there is one company that stands out for figuring out how to leverage athletes for the better of its brand. I am talking about Lenovo…”
“Their blog posts are revealing,touching and sometimes humorous…Lenovo’s athlete bloggers allow us to partake in the “common” Olympian’s experience.”
“Here is An excellent example of marketing 2.0…need to be paying attention to.”
“…you quickly start to find yourself enamored with relatively obscure athletes who are training and competing relentlessly…”
“AS NBC and other media outlets parachute into the Olympic village… expect to see the human side of the games from the Lenovo-backed bloggers reporting from the other hot zone.”
“What sets Lenovo’s program apart …is its wholesale willingness to support athletes by providing them with the tools they needed.”

– “The difference isn’t in the technology as much as it is in the mindset. In order to pull this off, we’ll need to think more like bloggers, uploaders, journalists and mash-up artists than marketers, copywriters and designers.”
