1000heads Shattering The Museum Monologue June09

Editor's Notes

  1. Ask Qs about who reads blogs, blogs, microblogs, lifestreams etc. Did anyone watch the inauguration on CNN Live? – In fact, whole campaign great case study of using social media (on YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, Digg, LinkedIn, 500 million blogs August to Nov, 850,000 MySpace friends, 144,000 Twitter followers, posted update straight after nomination etc) Example that you need a great product, but tie it with emotional experiences, the right tone/approach and spreading it across people’s own venues, and it will have the greatest chance of going wild BUT (re NY Times article) also now struggling to turn it into sustained and authentic conversation
  2. Innate human need to communicate RKM White Paper 2008 studied ants, bees, ravens and found “ that word of mouth communication is not a trivial activity we pursue merely to pass the time. Rather, communicating with each other is an inherent, inevitable, and largely beneficial activity that we engage in as a result of our genes” Moreover “ As primates establish and maintain social ties by physically grooming one another, our tendency to gossip may have developed as a tool for managing relationships. A British anthropologist notes that approximately two-thirds of peoples’ conversations concern social issues: “Who is doing what with whom, and whether it’s a good or bad thing; who is in and who is out, and why”

  7. Anyone seen QI? Just the best e.g. of brand WOM In 1880s Duvelleroy created The Language of the Fan, effectively giving their product a whole new talkability and cleverly tapping into the passions and mores of the times
  8. What became considered a romantic bit of historical culture was in fact a marketing ploy Duvelleroy revived Language of Fan ads in 1960s Today xx results on Google incl things like videos on YouTube

  10. 2 different areas: brands having their own social media presence and using to talk to its consumers: can work well but other than on a v generalised level unsustainable, and can do a lot of damage if employees don’t know the environment etc Peer to peer, independent consumer WOM: this is what people trust, what they use to make their purchasing decisions and to build their image of a brand
  11. WOM is not just verbal communication but a consequence of sensory experiences Nearly all WOM starts with an offline experience Except for the occasional website or viral and these are pretty unpredictable/rare Social media becomes the combustion zone for conversation ignited offline E.g. of seeing jet cleaner in street
  12. V&A’s Cold War Modern Exhibition – a retrospective of Cold War living encompassing Architecture, Art/Film, Design and Politics, running from September 2008 to January 2009 achieved by actually recreating the tension, paranoia and ideological clashes of the era, immersing voices in the period and keeping conversation and content constantly relevant to the matter of the exhibition itself: decided on an ARG Cryptic email, agents unique code names and URLs, watermarked and geo-tagged images, online map refs London Lite and Metro no.s redirected to voicemail, reverse street graffiti and 2,000 stickers, Bluetooth etc 35 core agents alone produced 328 units across 50 scapes, exposed to 90,000 people, Evening Standard double spread
  13. Our scapes model just gives an example of how to look at the different types of venue on the net But don’t forget this applies offline as well
  14. 12 key voices were identified and engaged by WOM World to lead the campaign buzz from all corners of the globe, including the USA, Greece, Finland, Germany, Dominican Republic, Bahrain, India, UK, France and the Philippines Each challenge provoked voices to explore and create content around specific N96 features, and then map and compare their experiences on Nokia ViNe, a geo-based content tracking platform. Brand narrative uniquely enabled single campaign to stimulate conversation about several different Nokia products, services and issues without loosing any overall coherence or instant impact. Staggered, guided challenges ensured that content was as varied, positive and frequent as possible, producing high quality and entertaining results that others wanted to share and discuss. Over 200,000 engagements were generated by key voices during the challenge. 700 conversational units were generated by the 12 key voices in month one, and 84% of all WOM referred to Nokia, including extremely detailed reviews and showcases of individual N96 features and other Nokia services
