We use methods of co-creation to deliver insight,
innovation and action for organisations.

consumer – helping to build a better business.
3. Our story
We are dedicated to understanding social media ROI
We thought there has to be more to social media than just fans,
followers and Word-of-Mouth campaigns. A greater ROI than shares,
Likes and blogger coverage.
So we put together a team of people from across disciplines and
geographies to figure it out.
We have the largest team of social media experts working across EMEA
with the greatest diversity of backgrounds including; Research, SEO
Marketing, Media, Advertising, Innovation, Change Management, CRM.
4. Open Business
Our vision
• We think of social media as a door to the outside world
– not a simple channel to deliver through.
• It’s a door to; listen, ask, connect and create with
people outside the org - partners, customers and
experts.
• It’s a door to competitive advantage in marketing,
service and product innovation.
• It is like hosting an Open Day every day.
• Open Days deepen brand affinity, build relationships,
loyalty and understanding, ask questions and give
answers, discover new habits, trends and needs. Now
every day is an Open Day.
• Be a better business with a better output. Be an Open
Business.

Inspiration & opportunities
"Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the
business enterprise has two--and only two--basic functions:
marketing and innovation.
Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are
costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the
business."

Inspiration & opportunities
According to the MIT Centre for Digital Business, in order to cost-effectively
solve broad business problem and co-create e.g. a new product choice, a
marketing campaign or a new service experience, enterprises need to start
taking advantage of the "wisdom of the crowds" available through social
media data, or risk missing out on huge opportunities to boost business.

Inspiration & opportunities
According to McKinsey, digitization is creating a second economy that’s
vast, automatic, and invisible—thereby bringing the biggest change
since the Industrial Revolution.
The second economy that is silently forming- vast,
interconnected, and extraordinarily productive- is creating for us a new
economic world. How we will fare in this world, how we will adapt to it,
how we will profit from it and share its benefits, is very much op to us.

Engagement
Joe Pine:
Just being a part of something is part of human nature, we want to
belong.
Organizations need to provide a platform for people to belong.
Social media are very good at this.
Social media = enablers
Open Business = platform
23. Open Business Development
Engagement
Pine and Gilmore argue that businesses must orchestrate
memorable events for their customers, and that memory itself
becomes the product - the "experience".
Consistent brand experience is biggest marketing challenge
Forbes: Challenge for chief and senior executives is to create a
consistent experience across all the touch points.

Engagement
Two major shifts internally (McKinsey) :
• Marketing is the customer engagement engine for the other
departments
• shift to a more data and science-based marketing
29. Open Business Development
Research
McKinsey on insights and marketing:
“
Marketing is going to become a much more science-driven activity.
Generating rich customer insights, always central to effective marketing
efforts, is more challenging and important in today’s environment.
Companies must listen constantly to consumers across all touch points,
analyze and deduce patterns from their behavior, and respond quickly to
signs of changing needs.
“
30. Open Business Development
Research
Forbes on the challenge unified data overview:
“
While nearly two thirds of respondents said they segment and target
customers based on an integrated view of customer behavior, that view is
not necessarily complete. Just 30% have a view of mobile behavior, and
just 34% look at social media behavior.
“
32. Open Business Development
Research
Forrester Research (2008):
“
Market research online communities (MROCs) will shock the qualitative market research
world. They provide
Cheaper, faster and newer types of insights that today’s traditional qualitative
modes, such as focus groups, don’t currently provide.
“

Research
Netnography is the branch of ethnography that analyses the free behaviour of
individuals on the Internet that uses online marketing research techniques to provide
useful insights.

Social Media Intelligence Not Utilized to the Fullest: Competitive Advantages Diminishes:
Just 24% of the interviewed found the Social Media monitoring tools they used were “Very Valuable”.

Research
Challenge and disruption of conventional market researchers:
The discussion about data privacy and guidelines for social media research (mainly
listening) is peaking.
ESOMAR, CASRO, MRS and other Market research associations have published their
guidelines recently.
A rising number of market research authorities reject and question these guidelines.
Main points of discussion are on two basic principles of traditional market research
1) anonymity
2) informed consent
39. Open Business Development
Co-Innovation
In collaborative innovation it's not only What one knows, but equally or
more importantly Who is in the network.
Identifying the right external people (Who) to bring in and understanding
the innovation process and outputs (the How and What's).

Harvard Business Review: Open Innovation Achieves Smarter New Product Development
The survey found:
* Customer suggestions are the most important source of new product ideas.
* New product development is a team sport. More than half of the companies said
marketing, operations, sales, and finance work with the R&D department.
* Fifty-five percent said partners are an important source of ideas and innovation
support.

Strategy+Business: The Continuing Payoff from Open Innovation
The research found:
* External links have been shown to stimulate creativity, provide a useful way to search
for new technologies, reduce risk, and improve the quality of the innovation.
* The most common partners were customers and suppliers.
* The researchers measured innovation output by examining the proportion of the firms’
total sales that came from products introduced or improved during the previous three
years.
