Thanks, Justin. And thanks for giving me this opportunity to share some thoughts around social media specifically, where we are today, and where we are headed. I’ll just say that it’s truly an exciting time to be working in this space. I know we’ll look back a few years from now and recognize the revolution that’s is going on today, not just in social media but affecting all parts of marketing overall.
Break this into three pieces. First, some context setting. The big picture about what is going on in social media and digital marketing overall.
So these numbers speak for themselves in terms of the ways that social media today has truly become infused into our culture. Over 7,000 tweets per second in yesterday’s World Cup final: USA versus JapanWhat’s really going on here? Even if you aren’t one of the many participants here, you have to ask yourself, why is all of this such a big deal?
Social media continues to show that it meets two fundamental needs. Provides that outlet that we’ve really never had before.
Connecting to stay in touch (long lost friends), or those closest to you to share your experiences in life. These needs are in our DNA. At the very core of what makes us human.
We’ve always had “social media”. What’s new is a decentralized network that provides ways for us to easily create and connect with one another.
We are on a journey. We like to say at Razorfish that what can be digital will be digital. Certainly we see this in our everyday lives.From the way we receive television – digital cable
86% of mobile internet users (folks who use these devices) say they surf while watching TV. Gives marketers opportunities to extend beyond their :30 TV commercials, for example and continue the conversation around their brands.
And this is why we are seeing all marketing activities embrace social media. Certainly this is the true of DeVry and you will continue to be on this journey to represent your brand in the social media space.These assets didn’t exist just a few years ago.
I’ll add one more reason about why we should care.
Simply put, because traditional advertising isn’t working as well anymore. Some fairly provocative statements here about what people believe and who they trust (or don’t trust).
All of this provides an opportunity to think about ways to reach and engage our prospects and customers.
Playing games is one of the first known “social” activities of humans. We’ve been playing for thousands of years, using games as a mechanism to learn and share, and at the heart of this has always been community

Spotify:What IS IT:15mil song music streaming catalog that allows users to stream nearly any song from any artist at anytime on any device.Why is it important ? It’s about access, not ownership.Access to favorite music at any time and the ability to share with friends. Recent partnership with Facebook shows thatSpotify is serious about social. And with it’s discover and share mentality, there’s plenty of room for Spotify and brands tobetter connect users with the music they love.Who ’s using it ? 10 millions users worldwide.Growing rate of 10k users daily. 50% of users are 18-34, and 18-24 with the highest penetration. 3 in 5 are male, and 2/3of free users are under 29.
VW:
Providing new ways for participants to get involved
More and more we are seeing a person’s social graph incorporated into online experiences. A social graph is just one of those buzzwords, which really means someone’s friends and followers. For example, let’s look at all of the ways that social media is affecting a news site.
And this goes beyond news and information. Online stores today incorporate what your friends like and don’t like. Levi’s saw a 40x increase in referrals from FB after adding Like button5
Social Media ROI has been confused between these three disciplines, but each three has a distinct and important role
