Digital Darwinism is already changing the landscape of business

The world has changed forever. Will you change with it?

This is not Social Media marketing

“Fast and Easy” is the beginning

of the end of Social Media 1.0

Customers will breakup with organizations that don’t deliver value, now and over time

“People” = the 5th Element

Traditional Consumer Digital Consumer

CONNECTED CONSUMER

An Audience with an Audience of Audiences

A look at the world through the eyes of a connected customer

The Fight for Consumer Attention Takes Place Where Attention is Focused. Hint: It’s not your website

New Media has the

power to reach people where their attention is

focused

Attention is a Precious Commodity

Red = where users looked the most Yellow = indicate fewer views Blue = least viewed Gray = didn’t attract any fixations Green = boxes drawn on top of the images after the study to highlight the advertisements

BRANDS ARE NOT CREATED

THEY ARE CO-CREATED

THE VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER

JUST GOT LOUDER

The future of your business is defined through shared experiences…

Without design or engagement, what will they say? What will they do?

Is your business antisocial?

YOU CAN’T BUILD A CUSTOMER-CENTRIC BUSINESS

IF YOU DON’T KNOW

WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT WE WANT OR WHAT WE VALUE?

Taking the customer point of view: Closing the Customer Gap in Social Media

Customers want to learn about new products…

The brand perspective

They want to engage with us to create a community…

The brand perspective

I want discounts and special offers!

The customer perspective

I need the ability to purchase within my social network!

The customer perspective

Obtaining tangible value or recognition is why people seek out organizations in social networks

The number 1 least asked question is social business is… WHY?
