Traditional Brand• Created in 1950’s with advent of TV • Brand lives outside the company, not inside• Companies are trying to control a closed

structure by buying it, owing it

Web 2.0 Brand• Brand is an open structure • It is what your customers say it is• Users communicate with each other and

decide!

website increased by 153%

How do you market when you no longer drive communications?

Page 10: WEB2.0 Branding: PT II-  Creating Competitive Advantage

Creating Your WEB 2.0 Brand • Create experience -- acting how you want to be perceived rather than talking about it.

Social media gives you this possibility.

• Allow consumers to interact with your brand -- become Brand Ambassadors – your online voice through User generated advertising, branded blogs and ongoing feedback.

• Create branded content -- distribute across the global social media platforms.

• Develop widgets, applications that create a genuine consumer benefit and drives engagement.

• Provide consumers with tools to manage their personal brands

• Connect with consumers -- Integrate offline and social media through links/ stories to communicate.

• Move away from stand alone brand sites –- interlink platforms and content to engage. .
