Consumers are not listening anymore

Interruptive marketing has seen it’s day


The Audience is creating


The Audience is selecting

Time Shift technology


The Audience is changing


As a result

“We are immune to advertising. Just forget it. ”

“You want us to pay? We want you to pay attention. ”

“ The Internet became a place where people could talk to other people without constraint. Without filters or censorship or official sanction — and perhaps most significantly, without advertising ”

“Don't talk to us as if you've forgotten how to speak. Don't make us feel small. Remind us to be larger. Get a little of that human touch. ”

Media Scales

Consumers control the online environment so brands need to think about facilitating user-created actions, not just user-generated content." Unlike newspapers and TV where the advertisers are

speaking at consumers, the Internet allows for more back and forth interaction.

Growth of social media

Social media describes the online technologies and practices that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other (Wikipedia 2007)

What is social media?

They share one or more characteristics

Connectedness

Getting from me to them

I post on blogs and BBS because I can express myself to millions of people at once. I like the rush, and I feel empowered.

“”

I believe the bloggers and their ideas. They are my friends and will tell me the truth, unlike

advertisements.

Collaborative Publications

Engagement is all about making it relevant to the consumer.“ ”James Speros, Chief marketing officer, Ernst & Young

People read particular magazines because of the life stages and events which currently involve them: from teenager to golfer, from

having a baby to coping with retirement.

“”Source: Henley Centre, Delivering Engagement 2004

The editorial/reader relationship is a one-to-one conversation, and in time it creates a bond of trust, of belief, expectation and empathy. It is through the quality of this relationship that an aperture or opening to the reader’s mind and heart is created, through which we advertisers can establish communication.
