DESCRIPTION

THE AGE OF CO-CREATION: ASIA's RISING ROLE IN THE PARTICIPATION CULTURE This is part of the 2008 study by the Young Change Agents of Bates Asia. The whole study was designed to give young employees of Bates across Asia an open mic to voice their observations on the rising trend of "co-creation" and predict/foresee its implications in their markets. And this presentation focuses on the Philippines, with additional slides that were cut in the streamlining of the original report. Five years hence, some foreseen implications have become reality: 1. That the power of media will shift from the traditional to the indipendent - ex. Rappler.com 2. That public opinion will not be shaped by traditional columnists, rather by bloggers and Social media mavens - ex. Bayan Mo I-patrol Mo 3. That a new creative class will rise: welcome the Fliptoppers on YouTube, online artists, creative entrepreneurs 4. That there will be demand for young Digital experts in business organizations And the biggest prediction of them all: "As more minds become more open to the possibilities introduced by the Internet, more people, without leadership or structure of an organization, will create and co-create content, ideas, opinions and trends that will challenge the status quo." And in 2011-2012, we have the Arab Spring, WikiLeaks and the rise of Anonymous. The next mission - to find or direct order in this growing complexity.

With a 15.4% internet penetration in a population of 90M, and with an active user base of only 3.7M, the full effects of the internet as a driver of co-

creation still has to be felt.

Right now, co-creation is largely a social phenomenon. Philippine internet users leads the world when it comes to percentage of users

• joining social network sites

McCann Wave 3 Study of 2008

In ’08, 83 percent of Internet users in the Philippines have created social network profiles, having the highest percentage in the world.

Right now, co-creation is largely a social phenomenon. Philippine internet users leads the world when it comes to percentage of users

• uploading pictures on these sites

McCann Wave 3 Study of 2008

The highest percentage of users (86 percent) that have uploaded photos in these social networks was also posted by the Philippines in 2008.

Right now, co-creation is largely a social phenomenon. Philippine internet users leads the world when it comes to percentage of users

• and reading blogs.

McCann Wave 3 Study of 2008

Estimated 90 percent of Filipino users read blogs, second only to South Korea (92 percent).

And with dedicated writers and loyal readers spread in social network sites and blogs commenting on and discussing national issues, a new sphere of public opinion emerged. A sphere previously dominated by only a few people in the country’s strong media institutions.

Page 13: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

Prior to the rise of these social media, there were only four companies virtually controlling national news and serving the watchdog function of providing social commentary to the nation.

Two broadcast companies controlling news on TV and Radio

Two top dailies providing news on print and on the internet

Page 14: Co creation - Philippines

With power and influence, they stare down on sitting presidents and public officials and can themselves produce national politicians.

They are kingmakers, trend-setters and social arbiters outside the court.

Page 15: Co creation - Philippines

And with the Filipino mind largely being fed by their content outside the academe and the church, these institutions faced no competition in the marketplace of ideas.

Page 16: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

What is real is what is on their news. What is heard is only what they published. What their opinion is what is socially accepted.

Page 17: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

But with the growth of the internet, social commentary found a new voice co-created by thousands of educated bloggers, forums participants and other social media writers.

Page 18: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

Through the massive building and sharing of ideas, perspectives and arguments, a new sphere of public opinion is being born…

Page 19: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

…and a new public conscience is rising from co-creation.

o HOW CO-CREATION IS AFFECTING BRANDS/MARKETING IN THE COUNTRY

www.bates141.com

Page 21: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

Given that internet penetration is low, and more so the number of active users, Filipino netizens have not yet been given a concerted attention by mass brands. Instead, internet advertising is still niche advertising since the Philippine internet sphere is still a market of urban and more affluent consumers.

Page 22: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

Brand activities online just becomes limited to the targeting of high-value customers by lifestyle brands.

Page 23: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

Moreover, examples of co-creation by brands in the Philippines are still limited to low levels of value-creation.

But outside of big established brands, social network sites have become an online market among consumers. Small sellers of apparel, for example, are actively using Multiply to sell their wares.

o OUTLINE THE IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR BRANDS

• WHICH CATEGORIES / BRANDS CAN BENEFIT MOST IMMEDIATELY FROM CO-CREATION IN YOUR COUNTRY AND AND WHY

www.bates141.com

Page 28: Co creation - Philippines

www.bates141.com

Right now, apparel brands seem to be the category most benefiting from co-creation. The speed of the process from ideation to actual production leads to immediate consumption.

Another category where co-creation is highly possible because of this speed of process is the food industry. However, this has yet to be seen and maximized.

Brand managers (and everyone in the upper level of the corporate ladder) can join social network sites themselves. Mesh with people and build opinions with them. Managers might even find a new POV for their brands.

Brands can also co-create un-branded social network sites where people can join. This will serve as a neighborhood for influencers where they can collaborate among themselves and then eventually co-create with the brand. A network of sports fans by Adidas perhaps?

Co-create with bloggers. They have a network of dedicated readers. Brands can co-create content with them that their audience can read.

THAT was the Bates 141 Implications Template.

But there are more possible implications of co-creation.

CO-CREATION: OTHER PHILIPPINE IMPLICATIONS

www.bates141.com

Implications

1. Co-creative opportunities

2. Co-creation as new source of creative ideas

3. Demand for younger, internal co-creation leaders

“This strong sense of community online is also one of the reasons why IDC has predicted that the number of online gamers in the Philippines will reach 6.3 million by 2008. This represents a huge opportunity for online advertisers wishing to target the Filipino market: Advergaming. Advergames respond to the needs of younger, tech-savvy consumers who demand more interactivity and fun when introduced to online advertising campaigns.”

Advergaming can then become a venue for co-creation as brands can create cyber characters whom gamers can interact with, with or whithout their knowledge.

Youth engagement online gives brands more access to the youth. This can become venue for brands to engage the youth in conversation, which can lead towards co-creation.

And instead of putting them inside artificial environments such as FGD rooms to mine data, youth response to brand stimuli in cyberworld can possibly shed new insights.

CO-CREATIONOPPORTUNITIES:

Public Opinion and Mass Action

“However, they are right only on one point: That the most vocal, most determined and most organized participants in the uprising were armed with cellphones and sent out a heretofore unimaginable number of text messages for about three days.These critics of People Power 2 were wrong everywhere else.

For in the case of People Power 2, the message was crystal-clear, with solid basis and with urgency that challenged most Filipinos. It was either we stay put wherever we were or stand up in the forcible removal of a President who has violated the public’s trust and laws big time.

Unfortunately for Estrada, the purveyors of this message were not only backed up by the truth. They were also tech-savvy. They used technological tools beyond printing presses, mimeograph machines, telephones and fax machines. Instead, the People Power 2 forces – organized or not – had more potent tools in their hands: cellphones and the Internet”

A President being ousted by a spontaneous outburst of people wielding mobile phones as weapons is a testament to the power of collective action made possible through connection.

CO-CREATIONOPPORTUNITIES:

Public Opinion and Mass Action

Page 47: Co creation - Philippines

And if a society can shift the political landscape by just sharing information on mobile, so can it move other factors affecting them. If provoked, this same power can be forced on a corporation that may be seen as excessively abusive. Oil companies beware.

This is the power of co-creation if wielded against someone.

CO-CREATIONOPPORTUNITIES:

Public Opinion and Mass Action

And co-creation can equally put leaders on the top.

In the last gubernatorial election in the province of Pampanga, it was not the money of the richest that delivered the most effective campaign. It was the efforts of ordinary folks, the farmers, market vendors and ordinary families that toppled a political dynasty.

CO-CREATION:A NEW CREATIVE CLASS RISES

Co-creation, as long as allowed, will challenge members of the traditional creative elite such as those in ad agencies, design houses, magazines and closed artist circles.

Page 51: Co creation - Philippines

CO-CREATION:A NEW CREATIVE CLASS RISES

It will allow for a wider source of creative ideas, whether artistic or not, whether from professionals or amateurs, from any region or province and from person of any station in life. Creativity, previously a monopoly of few elitist groups, will be democratized.

CO-CREATION:A NEW CREATIVE CLASS RISES

As such, limiting one’s self within set creative boundaries (hierarchy of creative authority or influence, set roles, creative rules) will only lead to stagnation and slow churn of ideas.

Co-creation in the Philippines:

A fearless forecast

Page 54: Co creation - Philippines

“Filipino Internet users are more likely to be opinion leaders and early adopters compared to traditional media consumers. They are likely to be individualistic, trend conscious, willing to pay for quality products and are tech-enthusiasts.”

- Yahoo-Nielsen Net Index 2008

Page 55: Co creation - Philippines

As more minds become more open to the possibilities introduced by the Internet, more people, without leadership or structure of an organization, will create and co-create content, ideas, opinions and trends that will challenge the status quo.

Page 56: Co creation - Philippines

Co-creation, a new democratizing and unifying force, will be the biggest threat to all current networks, beliefs, dynasties and bureaucracies that dictate public life in the Philippines and can usher in a new era where more people are heard and more ideas are ushered.

But, if and only if it is realized.
