7. The Pitfalls
Not enough were read
Not enough made money
Not enough were
influential
Most non tech Brands lost
the plot
Consumption patterns
changed
Attention span deteriorated
in different age group
AND the MAA-BAAP
came into being
FaceBook - Twitter
And soon a host of others
followed.

Suddenly everybody could
write what they wanted,
communicate with whom
they wanted, with
They did not have to worry
about seo, google, foogle,
traffic, shaffic
Just post, tweet, interact
build and cater to an
audience at no cost at all.
10. Consumer vs Brand
All this happened in less than 5 years.
Consumers became savvy at the speed of light.
Most Brands still trying to find the switch, bulb.
So today they try to feel their way with the help
of Agencies, evangelists, experts on how to
navigate this thing called ‘Digital & Social
Media’
11. Current Scenario
More than 60% blogs on FB/Twitter Bio do not have a
post in the last 6 months
But, there are still serious bloggers some who do it for
love, passion but mostly moolah or power.
Media/Brands wants bloggers, but payment? - Exposure
and Freebies

The consumer rules the
roost, whilst brands try to
learn.
Anybody with a semblance
of following is willing to
thrash, work for the brand
as long as it pays.
Does the agency know
scientifically how to handle
this for brands - some do,
most don’t
13. My Way : HighWay
Brands want to control the
dissemination, communication,
experience.
Consumers want brands to listen to
them even when they’re wrong.
Who is winning?
The Jury is out! There are no clear
winners. Sometimes the consumer.
But mostly the Brands.
