35. “Marketing is dead”
Harvard Business Review – 9 Aug 2012
Traditional marketing — including advertising, public relations, branding and
corporate communications — is dead. Many people in traditional marketing roles
and organizations may not realize they're operating within a dead paradigm. But
they are. The evidence is clear.
Buyers are checking out product and service information in their own way, often
through the Internet, and often from sources outside the firm such as word-of-
mouth or customer reviews.
Actually, we already know in great detail what the new model of marketing will look
like. It's already in place in a number of organizations. Here are its critical pieces:
Restore community marketing
Find your customer influencers
Help them build social capital
Get your customer advocates involved in the solution you provide.

• The “community engineering” stages are key to build a truly brand community on social
networks and to achieve a high level of social capital.
• Without a good community engineering (and social capital) campaigns simply do not work.
• Currently most brands think of social media as another ad place, and get easily disappointed
because they did not work enough the community before beginning to extract value from it.

51. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1 of 2
¶ Many things are changing due to the existence of Social Networks and Social
Media. The same underlying motives but a different way expressed them.
¶ We tried to understand the reasons of this phenomenon. Is there any theory
behind it? What’s the big picture?
¶ To a great extend Internet transformed intrinsically social activities into merely
transactional ones. Now thanks to SNS those activities are re-socialising, but this
time online.
¶ However, Social Technologies adoption is a continuous process that will take many
years to be completed. Brands need to experiment and learn.
¶ The success of social networking services like Facebook relies in the fact that they
are able to translate a person’s social live (“circle of trust”) into the online world.
It’s not a new social life, it is the same life but faster and more efficient.
¶ Facebook worldwide’s dominating SNS excepting in former URRS countries and
other countries where it has been banned (China, Iran, etc.).
¶ At par with SNS is the concept of Social Graph, key to understand how our brand
or company can take advantage of social media through SNS or Apps.

52. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
2 of 2
¶ Social Media works as a very complex ecosystem in constant change. The best
attitude towards that reality is to try to understand the ecosystem and to figure
out how to complement it and add value for the user. However brands tend to
copy parts of the ecosystem, leading to digital strategies which use to be
expensive, short-lived, and not very successful.
¶ In Social Media, the medium is the people.
¶ Community Marketing uses social technologies to build large, active and
sustainable online communities of great value for the brand.
¶ In order to build up a great online community:
Do not need a great brand.
Need to deeply understand the member’s interests and lives.
Segment the community and determine the interest and role of each
segment.
See how members are affiliated among them and with the brand.
Think carefully about the organization you need.
Focus on i) grow fans ii) engage fans iii) generate direct and indirect
revenues
