6. The rules have changed
• Customers have greater control
– What- When- How
– They speak to each other about you
• Disruption has its limitations
• Today’s mantra: connect and engage
with customers
– A dialogue; earn the right to a relationship

10. The New Rules of Engagement
• Think like a Publisher: journalistic, valuable content
• Hone in on those “buyer personas” that are making
purchasing decisions
• Develop great content
– Think like a VC or Film Producer: cool content
– What do we want buyers to believe about our products/
services?
• Measure in new ways
– How many people are exposed to our ideas?
– How many downloads?
– How many interactions turn to leads– turn to sales?
