“Marketing is dead” Harvard Business Review – 9 Aug 2012
Source: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/08/marketing_is_dead.html
Traditional marketing — including advertising, public relations, branding and corporate communications — is dead. Many people in traditional marketing roles and organizations may not realize they're operating within a dead paradigm. But they are. The evidence is clear.
Buyers are checking out product and service information in their own way, often through the Internet, and often from sources outside the firm such as word-of-mouth or customer reviews.
Actually, we already know in great detail what the new model of marketing will look like. It's already in place in a number of organizations. Here are its critical pieces: Restore community marketing Find your customer influencers Help them build social capital (vs Brand Equity?) Get your customer advocates involved in the solution you provide.

Ejemplo de mala gestión de conflictos: Greenpeace contra Nestlé Tras una campaña de Greenpeace para pedir a Nestlé que no comprase a suministradores de aceite de palma que son poco respetuosos con el medio ambiente, Nestlé:
• Acusó a Greenpeace de querer dañar su reputación.
• Bloqueó un video en YouTube. • Borró comentarios y bloqueó a usuarios
críticos en Facebook. • Amenazó con acciones legales a quienes
utilizasen su logo sin permiso.
Durante varios días la actitud de Nestlé se convirtió en uno de los temas más comentados en RRSS, lo que amplificó el impacto de la campaña de Greenpeace y dañó gravemente la imagen de Nestlé. La gente entraba en las RRSS de Nestlé para pedir explicaciones tanto por la causa original (campaña de Greenpeace), como por su actitud censuradora ante las críticas.
El Eco en RRSS die pie incluso a la organización de manifestaciones frente a diversas oficinas de la compañía. Multitud de medios tradicionales se hicieron eco de lo que estaba sucediendo.
El 20 de mayo de 2010 Nestlé accedió a las demandas de Greenpeace y de los usuarios. Posteriormente pidió disculpas e inició una serie de acciones en RRSS para tratar de restaurar su deteriorada imagen.
