As the fourth industrial revolution unfolds, organisations are having to re-skill and adopt new strategies for sales, marketing and HR success.
Many boards are still evolving into Social Businesses - organisations which adopt social media for effective HR, customer service and sales, as well as a channel for marketing. But further game changers are on the horizon, one being Artificial Intelligence.
These slides are highlights of the many public and private talks and presentations I deliver.

28. A look ahead
According to Forrester, “By 2019, marketing leaders
will spend more than $103 billion on search marketing,
display advertising, social media marketing, and email
marketing—more than they will on broadcast and cable
television advertising combined. Over the next five
years, search will remain the largest share of the digital
mix, but social media investment will grow faster than
any other digital marketing channel.”

42. Big data can help you
Using data in marketing is all about gaining efficiency and relevancy, Tourism
Australia’s CMO, Lisa Ronson, says. The tourism promotional body is tapping
data insights to define and control what messages it’s sending to consumers,
resulting in a more efficient and targeted message.
To help, Tourism Australia has established data sharing agreements with Virgin
Australia and Qantas.
“It’s about getting the right message to the right customer at the right time,”
Ronson said. “Through data and data sharing deals, we can understand who has
booked a trip to Australia and who hasn’t. Those two variables illustrate two very
different points in the purchase funnel.
“If you have booked a trip to Australia, we won’t bother serving our ‘Come to
Australia’ messages. Instead, we’ll start serving information like ‘here’s the
experiences that you can do when you’re in Australia’ or capital city type
messaging.”

46. Employee advocacy improves
visibility
Your employees add credibility to every post they share
8X jump in engagement when employees share content
92% of your employees' followers are new to your brand
24X more reshares when employees share content
47. Employee advocacy improves
visibility
Iceland employees are invited to the Iceland Insiders platform
where they are able to access new brand content each week.
Having connected their social accounts to the platform, they are
able to share content daily through their own individual social
channels quickly and easily.
Real-time trends in employee endorsements, engagements and
impressions can be measured by Iceland Foods to track
success. With the rise of ad-blockers and a decrease in the
effectiveness of traditional advertising, advocate marketing is
helping Iceland Foods get the edge.
48. Your employees as the
voice of the company
The most trusted and informative channels for your
company’s message sit within the walls of your
company; your employees.
Only by empowering employees to collaborate
creatively can the collective power of the team be
unleashed to drive essential relationships.
But the challenge is how do you develop and empower
your employees to represent your company in a manner
that is aligned with the company vision and strategy.
53. Home of Amazing Moments was part of the GREAT Britain campaign,
the Government's global campaign to promote the UK as a destination
for tourists, trade and investment.
It kicked off with a three-month digital and print campaign highlighting
Britain's culture and countryside and aiming to inspire visitors to book a
trip and discover their own amazing moments.
The campaign was split into two phases: the first directed people to a
website showing images, cinemagraphs and videos of amazing moments
that can be experienced in Britain.
There was also a short YouTube film to launch the campaign on
VisitBritain’s Facebook and Instagram sites
#OMGB - Integration
54. Visitors to the site were invited to share this content through their own social media
channels using the hashtag #OMGB – a play on the 'oh my god' acronym, standing
for Oh My Great Britain – with the chance to win a holiday to Britain. The campaign
also used social media influencers, who shared their own amazing moments from
recent trips to Britain.
The second phase took place in April and asked visitors to upload images of their
own memorable moments and experiences from their holidays in Britain, again using
the hashtag #OMGB, some of which were shared across VisitBritain’s Twitter,
Instagram or Facebook.
The campaign also aims to improve perceptions of how welcoming Britain is to
visitors.
#OMGB - UGC
55. VisitBritain marketing director Joss Croft said:
“We know that our audiences want to be part
of fun, innovative and immersive experiences
and we want to share these amazing
moments to inspire even more people to put
Britain at the top of their list as the ‘must-go-
now’ destination."

61. Influencer marketing via
blogs
Extend reach and engagement by courting online influencers who can
act as brand ambassadors.
Celebrities, vloggers and the like have been shown to offer an initial
spike of engagement – given the right product to shout about – but
some recent campaigns seem to suggest that it’s the ‘second-tier’
influencers that deliver medium- and longer-term impact.
L’Oreal has recently tiered its influencer strategy – it has gold, silver
and bronze categories that reflect the size and reach of their
influencers. It’s an approach that marketers building social media
campaigns might follow.

63. Snapchat
• 7 out of 10 are millenials
• Potential to reach current students and prospective
students to show visually what life at university is like and
the amenities on offer
• As it is a story platform it's the perfect tool to send out
news from campus or develop a content strategy to show
campus life through images
• Newcastle University was an early adopter, and still using
the platform really well. Recently they did a mini campus
tour on the open day that showed all the different aspects
of the campus - great to get prospective students
involved
• Or could send out news for deadlines for registration for
classes or scholarships
• Zero cost and over 1 month they reached 1,000 followers
and more engagement than Twitter
64. Snapchat taps AI to boost ad targeting
• Snapchat recently added a “goal-based
bidding” (GBB) ad tool for marketers
• GBB allows advertisers to choose
performance metrics beyond just raw
views when bidding for ad units on the
app. One example would be
engagement, with the tool monitoring
swiping on an ad as a success metric
• The new bidding also uses machine
learning to target engagement-based
ads at Snapchat users who are more
likely to swipe
65. Instagram
• 300 Million people on Instagram so the
opportunity is huge
• 95 million photos are being posted every day
• A visually led platform that can show the beauty of
any campus.
• Potential to win prospective students but also
make current students proud
• Universities embracing and adopting successful
strategies to create content to showcase campus
life
• Loughborough University recently used the
platform to join in the conversations about the
Olympics
Former students winning a
gold medal at 2016 Olympic
games
Showcase the amazing
parts of the university that
look visually amazing.
University of Birmingham
have 18,000 followers so get

67. SE Ranking
Social media management is among the unexpected features that make
SE Ranking a different kind of SEO platform. The tool offers scheduled
publishing, comprehensive reporting and valuable ranking data to show
you what’s working and what requires your attention in terms of getting
more relevant traffic to your site.
The tool enables you to auto-post all social media updates to social
networks (Facebook, Twitter). But what’s also cool is that you can see how
your social media activities are affecting your SEO metrics because you
have it all on one platform within the same interface.
Other useful features include the ability to see the best time to post in order
to interact with your audience and the type of content that brings the best
results. And if you run different social media accounts, you don’t need to
switch from one account to another.
75. Interactive content
Love a happy ending? Netflix starts
working on technology that will allow
viewers to decide how the story
unfolds via their remote
Netflix is to consider new interactive
storytelling technology for their TV
dramas
The TV-streaming company will make
actors film alternative plot segments
Viewers at home would be able to
decide the fate of the protagonists
Netflix president Reed Hastings said:
‘Once you have got interactivity you
can try anything’
