2014 is all about

ENGAGEMENT.@secretstomedia #smm

Connecting and building communities who are prepared to stand up for your brand

that is ENGAGEMENT!@secretstomedia #smm

The future of marketing integrates traditional and social

tools, connected by successful, ongoing relationships with

media, influencers, and people.

That’s right…it’s about relationships and it’s about people.

Relationships serve as the foundation for everything,

whether its traditional or new media, and the constant

reminder that we’re reaching people, and not audiences,

will keep us on a path to relevance.

social media sites to suit your brand

Business 2 Consumer

Facebook

Twitter

Google +

Youtube

Foursquare

Flickr

Tumblr

Blog

Instagram

Pinterest

A retail business, for example, needs to monitor online review site Yelp.

Be wherever your customers are!


Business 2 Business

LinkedIn is the only real B2B social network that was developed purely to develop direct B2B sales relationships for B2B marketers.

If you’re on limited time and resources and looking to greatly increase your bottom line, you should invest wholly in LinkedIn.

Consider a blog to leverage content to drive conversations, as that will be key to differentiating your company from the rest.

TIP: Think of the strongest brands you know.

They deliver well on VALUE PROPOSITION.

That is, they do what

they say they will, and most likely do it better

than others in their industries.




Social Media and Content marketing will drive more traffic to your website than SEO.


techniques of getting targeted traffic to your site (and don’t involve Google in any way shape or form! )

• Social media

• Social bookmarking

• Video marketing

• Blog Commenting

• Guest Posting

• Sourcebottle (http://www.sourcebottle.com.au/)

WEB 4.0


“The sheer size of the audience makes mobile increasingly important to advertisers,”

JoeLaszlo,seniordirectoroftheMobileMarketingCenterofExcellenceattheIAB,NewYork.


TIP: CREATE AUTHENTIC, TARGETED EXPERIENCE

Use data to turn an anonymous visitor into individual consumers.



Reputation Management.



Reputation management is the practice of making people and businesses look their best.

To accomplish that, people need to control their online search results because they frequently contain inaccurate, misleading or outdated material which can adversely influence how web searchers view them.

•Create your own content and optimised profiles, to push offending content down to that proverbial third page in google search results.

•Search yourself

•Buy your domain name

•Join social networks

•Optimise your presence on these sites

•Keep private things private

TIP: MONITOR



The influencer will become more influencing
