Today we are looking at a greater audience for news and information than ever before. The speed, breadth, and depth of information is reaching a wider audience then ever. The increased access and searchability of that content is also reaching new heights with journalists, investors, and consumers. This is now a hold of the financial industry as well as the casual investor as new technology allows people to make more informed decisions much more quickly.
We have come to the age and rise of social consumerism and I wanted to share this video to share with you do demonstrate the power of social media.Where can I get one of them. Dave represents the shift of consumers out there. And what we need to do is understand the consumer digital ecosystem out there.
The communications evolution turned revolution in the 90s with an explosion of new media forms. Internet became accessible to all – and with access, lowered the bar to communicate messages. It allowed almost anyone to become a media outlet, sometime regardless of qualifications or integity. Today, it seems that new media forms are introduced daily. You need a scorecard to keep up. For communicators, this rapid change can be overwhelming, but also a tremendous opportunity as vast audiences can be reached with great intimacy….but there are no rules and the roadmap changes constantly with faster innovation.
We are shifting from a brand voice to a social voice. And your brand is manifesting to your audiences brand. It’s not about what you think it its. About what your people think it is.
A brand is really the identity of a specific product, service, or businessAnd can take many forms, including a name, sign, symbol, color combination or slogan. Today the word brand has continued to evolve to encompass identity - it affects the personality of a product, company or service.
A few weeks ago Gap announced their new logo on the website to see how people would take to it. Listened to 5,000 followers on twitter and Gap a lot smarter then we think 3 quarters of a million fans on facebookSales downStill others said it looked like the marketing director forgot to design a logo and threw something together in MS Word the day the logo was unveiled.'Looks Like it Cost $17 From an Old Microsoft Word Clipart Gallery‘apparently heard the cries of outrage, turned the redesign into a crowd-sourcing exercise on its Facebook page"It's all a cosmetic band-aid which is so unbelievable for a brand as big and 'mature' as Gap. I'll be surprised if a few people won't lose their jobs as this is basic Branding 101On line criKITV SOCIAL WIRE
Sales is number one and the closer you tie campaign to sales results the more support you will get. Leads (more people fall into this category) and it is not the real KPI, on how many you have. Brands have got focused on fans and in fact they are very easy to buy. Cost about a $1.00 per fan. Engagement (are people reacting to content)Benchmarket it against others results Ultimately you need a CRM strategy.
Reporters are no longer the sole “gatekeeper” of information. Organizations now have an opportunity to communicate beyond the media and directly with consumers and investors, worldwide. While traditional media still holds sway, big dividends are yielded when savvy communicators embrace the new generation of citizen journalists, bloggers and participants in social networks.
Even the tenets of traditional media such as the AP are losing their own influence as to what consumers see.

The 1960s were noteworthy for cementing TV as THE communications medium and introducing a new technology that one could argue is already a relic in today’s world
Accessibility – dial up modem, millions of people, hotel slow wifi connection – opposite extreme – accessing content via a mobile device......what happens when you go to a site with a flash intro.....you look for the skip intro button....but if you are on a mobile device or dial up, it never loads. East To View – easy to find. How easy is it to find your content, when, where, how...search. Easy To Use – share, to do something with it....email, save, etc.
SEO is the foundation of social media. You cannot today put your stuff out on line and think social media is going to do it. Counted has to be found first before it can be shared. Think how you can drive through search.
People use optimizationmaz, this is the tool to help you One think people don’t think about with SEO, they leave seo part to the end needs to be at the beginning. You will notice that the name and headline have been blocked out here....this is to protect the guilty.
Send your news release out on a wire service. When you do so, make sure you are doing correct SEO properties, to drive back where you want them to go.
When we as communicators distribute news online, we are often looking at raising the visibility of an issue or campaign. Visibility is one of those things that we have measured for a long time in clips and hits.
Brands create more opportunities for engagement. The real secret to social media success is to create something that you what to share with your friend and is consistent with your brand message. Does it pass the “I gotta share this!” Test, the answer is usually, NO. If people want to share it people will write about it or copy it.
