RT @rohitbhargava – 2011 Marketing Trend #1: Likeonomics – Influencers lend
social capital to brands, helping the most HUMAN brands win.
1. Likeonomics
SUMMARY
We are increasingly living in a world of
microinfluence, where individual taste
makers can publish anything from personal
media properties to 140 character bursts of
opinions. All of this content is social
currency – and it is having a big impact on
consumer behaviour.
In 2011, the power and reach of individual
affinity will lead to the rise of “Likeonomics.”
Likeonomics is a term that describes how
personal relationships, individual opinions,
powerful storytelling and social capital are
helping brands and their products or
services to become more believable.
Believable brands inspire word of mouth
and create experiences that people can’t
help sharing with others.
EXAMPLE:
Ford Explorer Facebook Launch
One of the most innovative automotive launches
of the 2010 year was Ford’s reveal of the new
Explorer on Facebook. The effort not only
introduced the new car, but used the power of
social capital from influencers online to spread
the word about the car and drive attention and
interest on it throughout launch.
EXAMPLE:
Innocent Drinks
This UK brand has built a cult following
around all that they do by not only
producing fruit smoothies that consumers
love, but also by telling a strong story
behind those products, inviting their
customers in to experience everything
about them and then share their story with
as many others as they can.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava – 2011 Marketing Trend #2: Approachable Celebrity –
Social media allows direct access to previously unreachable celebs.
2. Approachable Celebrity
SUMMARY
For years most people have looked in at the
lives of celebrities, politicians and
professional athletes from a distance. Tabloid
culture led us towards a warped and fictional
view of who these people were. In 2010,
more and more of them turned to social
media and the web to demonstrate their real
personalities (for better or worse).
Rainn Wilson (@rainnwilson) and MC
Hammer (@mchammer) are just two niche
examples of stars who have built outsized
followings via Twitter. Jack Welch uses social
media to solicit ideas for his BusinessWeek
column. Politicians are using it to understand
and communicate better with their
constituents. In 2011, more people will enjoy
direct access to those who seemed
unapproachable just a few short years ago.
EXAMPLE:
Cisco Do You Flip?
This campaign for Cisco and their Flip
cameras takes celebrities and shows
them in their own personal lives and
travel – a side most of us never get to
see. Aside from showcasing the
products perfectly, this campaign
demonstrates how social media is
driving more celebrities to engage.
EXAMPLE:
Tweeting Celebrities
A huge percentage of celebrities are
now using Twitter as a short form
method to communicate with their fans
– and for many this has added a layer
of direct access that fans never had
before. In addition, it is a new revenue
stream as they begin to sell
sponsorship of these tweets.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #3: Desperate Simplification –
Information overload is leading consumers to seek simplification.
3. Desperate Simplification
SUMMARY
To say that we are all overloaded with
technology and information is a major
understatement – yet much of the
past innovations that have received
the most attention have led to more
complexity, not less.
In 2011, simplicity will become a
desperate necessity. Consumers will
cling to those small tools and personal
processes that allow us to feel more in
control of this deluge around us.
Friendship management (and “de-
friending”) will continue to grow, and
as people seek more balance in their
lives, entrepreneurs and smart
marketers will build more products
and sites to help them achieve this.
EXAMPLES:
iPod, Tumblr, Animoto,
Amazon, & Path.
iPod Shuffle: The new iPod Shuffle doesn’t do
much, but stands out for its simplicity.
Tumblr: Simplifies blogging as more people
start personal blogs to share their lives, or
build a personal brand to help with their job
hunt or careers.
Animoto: One of a host of sites that let you
take content you already have and easily
compile it into a more shareable format – like
video.
Amazon: Still the ultimate example of
simplification in retail – with their one button
ordering process.
Path: One of the first of a new trend of
simplification in social networks, Path users
can have a MAXIMUM of 50 friends.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #4: Essential Integration –
Marketer’s biggest problem continues to be integration in 2011.
4. Essential Integration
SUMMARY
The number one problem that nearly all
Fortune 1000 companies share is a lack of
integration. Whether due to infighting
between departments or predictable conflicts
between multiple agencies with different
criteria for success … integration is a major
unsolved problem.
Conversely, some of the biggest marketing
success stories from the past year have been
due not only to good creative and strategy,
but also to a level of integration that is highly
difficult and rare to achieve.
In 2011, integration will continue to be a
huge challenge met with varying degrees of
success … the single big thing that will keep
large numbers of marketers up at night.
EXAMPLE:
Old Spice Guy
One of the most popular campaigns of
the year, the most unique aspect
showcased by Old Spice was the power
of integration – where digital works with
print and TV to create a complete
campaign instead of just one isolated
great ad or website.
EXAMPLE:
Best Buy Twelpforce
Turning a new model for customer
service through social media into the
basis for an entire ad campaign is
unheard of in the bricks and mortar
retail space … but in 2010, Best Buy
stood out for doing exactly that, and
received many accolades along the way.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #5: Rise of Curation – Brands that
curate information win more trust & attention from consumers.
5. Rise Of Curation
SUMMARY
One way to deal with the vast amount of
information out there is through content
curation. I wrote back in 2009 about how I
felt the Content Curator would be the next big
job of the future. In 2010, this started to
become a reality as more companies hired
people in these types of roles.
As Google presents millions of results for any
query, the important role that curated
content will play in the future is to offer each
of us the chance to filter and share content
on subjects we are knowledgeable about
online, and provide this expertise for anyone.
Marketers, in turn, can use this need for
curation in their 2011 plans to provide a
much needed filter to help find and bring
together useful or entertaining content.
EXAMPLE:
Paper.li Custom Newspapers
A startup that got lots of buzz and new users
in 2010, this site lets you easily create a
“custom newspaper” on any topic using RSS
feeds. The sleek interface and ability to
share your creation makes this a curated
option that could last .
EXAMPLE:
The Pharma & Healthcare
Social Media Wiki
Collecting examples of social media
usage by an industry extremely wary
about using social tools – the Pharma
Wiki is at once an essential curated
resource, and an example of how
curation can be used to demonstrate an
expertise for a services company.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #6: Visualized Data – Complex data
becomes a strong marketing asset through visualization.
6. Visualized Data
SUMMARY
The real time stream of sentiment on any
topic readily available online is leading to a
vast amount of data so dense that it can be
virtually useless. To make sense of it, more
and more event managers, news
organizations and brands are turning to data
visualization as a way to leverage the data
and tell a clearer story.
A growing number of marketing agencies are
offering data visualization capabilities and
this is a niche that will continue to grow
tremendously in 2011, for everything from
sharing real time sentiment with consumers
to creating better and more compelling
visuals for senior management to keep or
increase marketing budgets for the rest of
the year.
EXAMPLE:
52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards
Earlier in the year, the GRAMMYs used social
media more actively as a part of their show –
and relied heavily on data visualization as a
way to show fan sentiments, enable live
voting and generally add more visual interest
to
the data they already had.
EXAMPLE:
CNN’s Magic Election Wall
As the mid-term elections came around
in the US, it was another opportunity to
show on a national stage the importance
of visualizing complex data – and CNN
had their touch screens ready. For hours
their anchors moved votes around and
projected results with visualization.
15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011
THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #7: Crowdsourced Innovation –
Brands turn to crowdsourced platforms to collect ideas from consumers.
7. Crowdsourced Innovation
SUMMARY
Crowdsourcing as a term and idea is nothing
new, but 2011 will likely be the year where it
becomes a core part of many organization’s
social and customer engagement strategies.
With several high profile corporate examples
like Starbucks and Dell – there is more
attention on the potential value of launching
branded crowdsourcing platforms like these.
Additionally there is an increased
understanding from customers about the
concept of crowdsourcing, which means it will
no longer be just a way of engaging the social
media savvy – but rather a much broader
audience who will share their ideas and
thoughts with brands simply for the reward of
recognition and being heard by the brands
they purchase from every day.
EXAMPLE:
My Starbucks Idea
This site continues to gain traction for
Starbucks as a way to encourage
consumers to share their ideas for
improving the Starbucks experience.
Along with Dell’s Ideastorm site and a
handful of others, the success of these
efforts will lead more brands to consider
a similar model in 2011
EXAMPLE:
Kickstarter
A platform for creative ideas to get
funded, Kickstarter has gotten a lot of
attention over 2010 for enabling creative
projects to get funded based on the
generosity of social networks of
interested people. From charity to
corporate improvement – this type of
innovation will likely increase in 2011.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #8: Instant PR & Customer Service –
Real time communication transforms essential business functions.
8. Instant PR & Customer Service
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
Many would argue that the one marketing
discipline most affected by the rise of social
media and real time content online is PR.
Responding to this, however, in 2010 many
PR teams and agencies stepped up with
much more sophisticated methods for
offering instant PR. In addition, customer
service came to the forefront as not just a
tool for servicing existing customers, but a
hugely powerful marketing channel as well.
In 2011, these two disciplines will continue to
lead most businesses towards creating
strategies and practices for dealing with real
time conversations happening online. This
will create unexpected opportunities for
those who have the right pieces in place to
take advantage – and those who don’t will
miss opportunities and risk crisis.
EXAMPLE:
JetBlue’s Big Media Hit
During a nationally televised Monday Night
Football game, the commentators referred to
the NY Giants wide receivers as JetBlue. An
alert employee tweeted about it, the tweet
was mentioned on air and JetBlue shows
millions of Americans they care, they are
listening and they are one of us.
EXAMPLE:
Zappo’s Golden Philosophy
Perhaps no business has seen more
attention or accolades in 2010 than
Zappos – and their real time customer
service has become the icon for an
entire industry of customer care teams
who dream of creating the type of
culture and service record that makes
Zappos such a beloved brand.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #9: App-fication Of The Web –
Innovative apps let consumers bypass the web for transactions and leisure.
9. App-fication Of The Web
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
On most lists of the projected hottest trends
for 2010 were the rise of apps of all kinds,
and looking back on the year, this fascination
with apps for every task from the productive
to the frivolous created a widespread
acceptance and excitement about the
potential uses for apps.
In 2011, as more people purchase app-
enabled devices, there is a large number of
activities from online banking to checking
email to online shopping that will shift to
apps instead of the web.
Mobile photos will become a larger part of
how people use social networks, actively
sharing their activities with their network
online – and independent developers will see
a secure and proven revenue stream through
paid apps and respond to what consumers
are willing to pay for.
EXAMPLE:
Flipboard
One of the most anticipated apps of 2010,
Flipboard promises to revolutionize the way
that we consume print media, by bringing the
beauty of a print magazine into the digital
world in a way that the web just hasn’t been
able to do. In 2011, there will be many others
aiming at the same goal.
EXAMPLE:
The Web Is Dead
In this WIRED cover story, Chris
Anderson declared in August of 2010
that Apps may be the real future of the
web – and there are many examples in
2010 that even if the web isn’t replaced
completely, there is a good amount that
we currently do online which we won’t in
2011.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #10: Reimagining Charity – Brands
and entrepreneurs create innovative new models for social good.
10. Reimagining Charity
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
It is perhaps a foregone conclusion that many
of the most entrepreneurial thinkers creating
technology are also driven by achieving a
greater social good through the technology.
This is leading to a cascade of great new
ideas for how charity and nonprofits could be
reinvented for everything from donating
money to sharing time and specific skills.
Jumo and Yoxi are two such examples.
Pepsi’s REFRESH site is an example from a
major brand, and smaller ideas like
SwipeGood a site that allows you to register
your credit cards and donate your change will
continue to bubble up. Together this points
to a hopeful future where social good will see
a lot of entrepreneurial attention – leading to
some big winning sites to come in 2011.
EXAMPLE:
Jumo
Late in 2010, the new charity based nonprofit
called Jumo finally launched to much fanfare.
The latest from Facebook co-founder Chris
Hughes, the premise of the site is to help
make it easier to find causes that you want to
support, and then follow them, volunteer
skills or donate cash.
EXAMPLE:
Yoxi.tv
This recently launched site has an
intriguing premise – that by launching
creative challenges that force people to
think about solving a social good in a
contest style competition, we all can
generate more sustainable ideas and
even change the world. The first
challenge was reinventing fast food.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #11: Employees As Heroes – Large
and small brands demonstrate humanity by featuring employee stories.
11. Employees As Hereos
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
A trend that has been on the rise for the last
two years now is the idea of featuring
employees as heroes. It has become
common in the tech industry, with leading
brands like Intel and IBM focusing on the
world changing efforts of their employees.
Best Buy has focused on their people as a
way to compete on more than just price, and
Pfizer has created engaging employee stories
to aid with humanizing their brands and
supporting recruitment efforts.
In 2011, the idea of humanizing brands will
continue to take shape through more and
more companies realizing the value they have
in their employees and featuring them not
only as heroes in TV ads, but also as story
anchor points in describing what they do to
the world.
EXAMPLE:
Intel Sponsors Of The Future
This series of humorous ads with taglines like
“our rock stars aren’t like your rock stars” not
only exemplified what Intel was all about
through telling employee stories … it also
awakened a latent sense of pride among Intel
employees about the world changing
potential and nature of their work.
EXAMPLE:
IBM Smarter Planet
With the declaration of “I’m an IBM’er” –
this campaign offers a vision for what
impact IBM can have on the world
through uniting their employees behind
the idea of a “smarter planet.” The
voices in the ads are meant to be the
employees sharing what they are each
working on to change the world.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #12: Locationcasting – Consumers
broadcast their locations, offering geotargeted marketing opportunities.
12. Locationcasting
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
One of the major benefits of marketing with
mobile devices is the ability to tailor a
message to a specific location that a
customer is close to. This type of marketing
is loaded with issues from privacy concerns
to the potential for , cyber- stalking or
“geospam” … but a growing number of sites
are innovating in this space because people
are still seeing benefits to broadcasting their
location to their own social networks.
This “locationcasting” behaviour helps people
to get specific retail offers targeted to their
location, and also connect with others in their
social networks who may be in the same
space. In 2011, brands will use this
behaviour to create more opportunities to
engage their customers in real life.
EXAMPLE:
Foursquare & Gowalla
The two leading geolocation sites, both let
you “check in” to real life destinations to
unlock badges, see special offers and share
your location with your friends. Each have
growing advertising opportunities are are
poised to offer hyper-local geo-marketing for
large and small brands.
EXAMPLE:
Scvngr.com
Describing themselves apart from either
Foursquare or Gowalla, Scvngr was created
with the vision of adding a “game layer” to the
real world. In it, users compete to solve
challenges in the real world and amass points
which can be redeemed for goods or prizes.
Brands can create challenges through the
service to engage customers.
15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011
THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #13: Brutal Transparency –
Aggressive honesty will lead to edgier (and more effective) marketing.
13. Brutal Transparency
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
Transparency is one of those overused
marketing words along with authenticity and
conversation – however in 2010 we started
to see examples of an extreme sort of
transparency that led to Domino’s pizza
running brutal ads showing focus groups
comparing their pizza crust to cardboard and
Southwest Airlines attacking other airlines for
charging all kinds of fees.
Both examples demonstrated that an
extreme sort of transparency can be a
competitive advantage because it reveals an
unexpected aggressive honesty that
consumers welcome.
In 2011, brands who can use a similar sort of
brutal transparency will emerge as big
winners against meeker competitors.
EXAMPLE:
Domino’s Pizza Oh Yes We Did
One of the standout marketing campaigns of
the year featured Domino’s taking a painfully
honest look at negative feedback and
completely remade their product. They took
focus groups to tomato farms and showed
real employees with empathy –demonstrating
how much they really cared about making a
better product.
EXAMPLE:
Southwest Bags Fly Free
Riding the wave of anger from mistreated
travelers feeling fleeced by unfair airline
fees – Southwest launched multiple
campaigns against bag fees and change
fees. Shining a light on their own fairer
policies, Southwest successfully used
transparency to make their competitors
look bad, and themselves look saintly.
15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011
THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #14: Addictive Randomness–
Random content creates unexpectedly engaging consumer experiences.
14. Addictive Randomness
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
More than the transactional moments of life,
there is a power in randomness that some
marketers have realized in the past. In 2010,
this fact had a few ongoing examples as well
as brands like the Red Cross taking
advantage of it for a specific campaign – as
well as sites like BrandTags exploring brand
perceptions by getting people to randomly
associate words with brands.
As social media continues to take an
increasing role in marketing efforts for
brands, this addictive power of random
content is going to lead to more consumer
generated campaigns where people can add
content to a central archive that anyone can
browse – creating a new engagement
opportunity for brands.
EXAMPLE:
Red Cross: Why The Heck
Should I Give?
Considering giving, but haven’t quite done it
yet? This site is devoted to getting you past
that last hurdle by offering reasons to give
along with the ability to see more random
reasons with each click. The interface is
addictive, engaging and viral.
EXAMPLE:
PostSecret.com
A classic example of randomness, PostSecret
is a community art project featuring the
secrets of strangers. Anyone who visits the site
immediately understands why compelling
content presented randomly can be so
addictive, as these secrets offer an irresistible
window into each of our humanity which we
can’t help reading.

THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #15: Culting Of Retail – Online
retailers who offer a unique and talkable experience inspire passionate users.
15. Culting Of Retail
Influential Marketing Blog
15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011
SUMMARY
Online retail has successfully moved from
being just another channel for bricks and
mortar stores with a handful of exceptions
like Amazon to more sites which have built
passionate followings of customers.
Groupon and Gilt are two of the most familiar
examples demonstrating that the new world
of retail in 2011 will require brands to do
more than just offer a good transactional
experience. The best sites will create a
passionate following of users who not only
buy products they like at good prices, but
also rave about their experiences so
completely that they will inspire a significant
portion of their social networks to try the
experience for themselves.
EXAMPLE:
Groupon
This site has sparked dozens of copycats as
they pioneered the “collective buying power”
movement.Among fans of the site, there is a
huge loyalty and passion for the model of
group purchasing, and their evangelism will
lead the site to find new fans and users
throughout 2011.
EXAMPLE:
Gilt.com
One of the most popular e-retail sites of 2010,
Gilt continued to grow based on their mission
of bringing luxury products to more audiences.
Users need a personal invitation to join, and
new deals are posted everyday at noon
creating a sense of urgency and incentive to
buy that other online retailers are actively
trying to recreate.

TREND WORKSHOP
(Based on previously completed workshops for clients)
a Special Bonus Case Study Example
A CASE STUDY EXAMPLE OF HOW TO PUT THESE
TRENDS TO WORK FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION
STEP 1 – CUSTOMIZE THE GOALS …
SAMPLE GOAL:
INSPIRE MORE
INNOVATIVE THINKING
A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY:
SAMPLE GOAL:
VALIDATE EXISTING
BUSINESS STRATEGY
SAMPLE GOAL:
INFORM NEW PRODUCT
OR SERVICE OFFERINGS
ILLUSTRATION CREDIT: HARRIETT RUSSELL
SETTING THE GOALS …
In planning for your session, Rohit will work directly with your team to set
achievable goals based on your needs.
STEP 2 – PRESENT THE TRENDS …
A KEYNOTE-STYLE PRESENTATION …
No matter how exclusive your audience is, Rohit will deliver a TED-talk quality
introduction to the trends that will inspire your audience and get them thinking.
Tailoring the talk to the size and industry of participants, this presentation will
bring a high energy start to the workshop and lead perfectly in the next phase …
A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY:
STEP 3 – EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING (OPTIONAL) …
A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY:
ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO TAKE THE TRENDS
INTO THE WORLD AND LEARN BY
EXPERIENCE …
Depending on the time available and venue of the
event, an optional experiential learning module
can help bring the trends to life.
Some examples of experiential activities that we
have previously used include allowing teams to
interview local businesses, solving real life
business challenges, producing live content or
learning a new methodology from an unexpected
business.
To inspire this thinking, we can work together to
develop assets such as Trend Flash Cards (shown
at right) to help bring the trends to life.
STEP 4 – FACILITATED WORK SESSION …
A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY:
LEADING AN INTERACTIVE
EXERCISE TO ENGAGE
PARTICIPANTS …
This is the moment where the trends
become actionable for your team.
Rohit will use the same teaching
methods from his popular signature
course at Georgetown University to
encourage participants discuss the
trends and brainstorm how they
might apply to specific situations and
existing roles.
The discussions in this stage aim to
bring out new ideas and encourage
team members to challenge one
another to think more innovatively.
STEP 5 – QUANTIFY RESULTS + NEXT STEPS …
A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY:
MAKING EACH PARTICIPANT TAKE
OWNERSHIP OF SPECIFIC TASKS THEY
ARE COMMITTING TO DO …
After a robust discussion and lots of ideas, it
can be hard to reduce them down to just the
things that will drive real change and new
thinking.
To help with this, we use tools such as the
Behance Action Journal (pictured at right) to
help offer an industry leading framework for
capturing commitments and action steps.
Ultimately, each team member leaves with a
tangible list of actions he or she can develop
and pursue upon returning to the office.

  • 4. RT @rohitbhargava – 2011 Marketing Trend #1: Likeonomics – Influencers lend social capital to brands, helping the most HUMAN brands win. 1. Likeonomics SUMMARY We are increasingly living in a world of microinfluence, where individual taste makers can publish anything from personal media properties to 140 character bursts of opinions. All of this content is social currency – and it is having a big impact on consumer behaviour. In 2011, the power and reach of individual affinity will lead to the rise of “Likeonomics.” Likeonomics is a term that describes how personal relationships, individual opinions, powerful storytelling and social capital are helping brands and their products or services to become more believable. Believable brands inspire word of mouth and create experiences that people can’t help sharing with others. EXAMPLE: Ford Explorer Facebook Launch One of the most innovative automotive launches of the 2010 year was Ford’s reveal of the new Explorer on Facebook. The effort not only introduced the new car, but used the power of social capital from influencers online to spread the word about the car and drive attention and interest on it throughout launch. EXAMPLE: Innocent Drinks This UK brand has built a cult following around all that they do by not only producing fruit smoothies that consumers love, but also by telling a strong story behind those products, inviting their customers in to experience everything about them and then share their story with as many others as they can. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 5. RT @rohitbhargava – 2011 Marketing Trend #2: Approachable Celebrity – Social media allows direct access to previously unreachable celebs. 2. Approachable Celebrity SUMMARY For years most people have looked in at the lives of celebrities, politicians and professional athletes from a distance. Tabloid culture led us towards a warped and fictional view of who these people were. In 2010, more and more of them turned to social media and the web to demonstrate their real personalities (for better or worse). Rainn Wilson (@rainnwilson) and MC Hammer (@mchammer) are just two niche examples of stars who have built outsized followings via Twitter. Jack Welch uses social media to solicit ideas for his BusinessWeek column. Politicians are using it to understand and communicate better with their constituents. In 2011, more people will enjoy direct access to those who seemed unapproachable just a few short years ago. EXAMPLE: Cisco Do You Flip? This campaign for Cisco and their Flip cameras takes celebrities and shows them in their own personal lives and travel – a side most of us never get to see. Aside from showcasing the products perfectly, this campaign demonstrates how social media is driving more celebrities to engage. EXAMPLE: Tweeting Celebrities A huge percentage of celebrities are now using Twitter as a short form method to communicate with their fans – and for many this has added a layer of direct access that fans never had before. In addition, it is a new revenue stream as they begin to sell sponsorship of these tweets. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 6. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #3: Desperate Simplification – Information overload is leading consumers to seek simplification. 3. Desperate Simplification SUMMARY To say that we are all overloaded with technology and information is a major understatement – yet much of the past innovations that have received the most attention have led to more complexity, not less. In 2011, simplicity will become a desperate necessity. Consumers will cling to those small tools and personal processes that allow us to feel more in control of this deluge around us. Friendship management (and “de- friending”) will continue to grow, and as people seek more balance in their lives, entrepreneurs and smart marketers will build more products and sites to help them achieve this. EXAMPLES: iPod, Tumblr, Animoto, Amazon, & Path. iPod Shuffle: The new iPod Shuffle doesn’t do much, but stands out for its simplicity. Tumblr: Simplifies blogging as more people start personal blogs to share their lives, or build a personal brand to help with their job hunt or careers. Animoto: One of a host of sites that let you take content you already have and easily compile it into a more shareable format – like video. Amazon: Still the ultimate example of simplification in retail – with their one button ordering process. Path: One of the first of a new trend of simplification in social networks, Path users can have a MAXIMUM of 50 friends. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 7. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #4: Essential Integration – Marketer’s biggest problem continues to be integration in 2011. 4. Essential Integration SUMMARY The number one problem that nearly all Fortune 1000 companies share is a lack of integration. Whether due to infighting between departments or predictable conflicts between multiple agencies with different criteria for success … integration is a major unsolved problem. Conversely, some of the biggest marketing success stories from the past year have been due not only to good creative and strategy, but also to a level of integration that is highly difficult and rare to achieve. In 2011, integration will continue to be a huge challenge met with varying degrees of success … the single big thing that will keep large numbers of marketers up at night. EXAMPLE: Old Spice Guy One of the most popular campaigns of the year, the most unique aspect showcased by Old Spice was the power of integration – where digital works with print and TV to create a complete campaign instead of just one isolated great ad or website. EXAMPLE: Best Buy Twelpforce Turning a new model for customer service through social media into the basis for an entire ad campaign is unheard of in the bricks and mortar retail space … but in 2010, Best Buy stood out for doing exactly that, and received many accolades along the way. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 8. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #5: Rise of Curation – Brands that curate information win more trust & attention from consumers. 5. Rise Of Curation SUMMARY One way to deal with the vast amount of information out there is through content curation. I wrote back in 2009 about how I felt the Content Curator would be the next big job of the future. In 2010, this started to become a reality as more companies hired people in these types of roles. As Google presents millions of results for any query, the important role that curated content will play in the future is to offer each of us the chance to filter and share content on subjects we are knowledgeable about online, and provide this expertise for anyone. Marketers, in turn, can use this need for curation in their 2011 plans to provide a much needed filter to help find and bring together useful or entertaining content. EXAMPLE: Paper.li Custom Newspapers A startup that got lots of buzz and new users in 2010, this site lets you easily create a “custom newspaper” on any topic using RSS feeds. The sleek interface and ability to share your creation makes this a curated option that could last . EXAMPLE: The Pharma & Healthcare Social Media Wiki Collecting examples of social media usage by an industry extremely wary about using social tools – the Pharma Wiki is at once an essential curated resource, and an example of how curation can be used to demonstrate an expertise for a services company. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 9. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #6: Visualized Data – Complex data becomes a strong marketing asset through visualization. 6. Visualized Data SUMMARY The real time stream of sentiment on any topic readily available online is leading to a vast amount of data so dense that it can be virtually useless. To make sense of it, more and more event managers, news organizations and brands are turning to data visualization as a way to leverage the data and tell a clearer story. A growing number of marketing agencies are offering data visualization capabilities and this is a niche that will continue to grow tremendously in 2011, for everything from sharing real time sentiment with consumers to creating better and more compelling visuals for senior management to keep or increase marketing budgets for the rest of the year. EXAMPLE: 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards Earlier in the year, the GRAMMYs used social media more actively as a part of their show – and relied heavily on data visualization as a way to show fan sentiments, enable live voting and generally add more visual interest to the data they already had. EXAMPLE: CNN’s Magic Election Wall As the mid-term elections came around in the US, it was another opportunity to show on a national stage the importance of visualizing complex data – and CNN had their touch screens ready. For hours their anchors moved votes around and projected results with visualization. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 10. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #7: Crowdsourced Innovation – Brands turn to crowdsourced platforms to collect ideas from consumers. 7. Crowdsourced Innovation SUMMARY Crowdsourcing as a term and idea is nothing new, but 2011 will likely be the year where it becomes a core part of many organization’s social and customer engagement strategies. With several high profile corporate examples like Starbucks and Dell – there is more attention on the potential value of launching branded crowdsourcing platforms like these. Additionally there is an increased understanding from customers about the concept of crowdsourcing, which means it will no longer be just a way of engaging the social media savvy – but rather a much broader audience who will share their ideas and thoughts with brands simply for the reward of recognition and being heard by the brands they purchase from every day. EXAMPLE: My Starbucks Idea This site continues to gain traction for Starbucks as a way to encourage consumers to share their ideas for improving the Starbucks experience. Along with Dell’s Ideastorm site and a handful of others, the success of these efforts will lead more brands to consider a similar model in 2011 EXAMPLE: Kickstarter A platform for creative ideas to get funded, Kickstarter has gotten a lot of attention over 2010 for enabling creative projects to get funded based on the generosity of social networks of interested people. From charity to corporate improvement – this type of innovation will likely increase in 2011. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 11. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #8: Instant PR & Customer Service – Real time communication transforms essential business functions. 8. Instant PR & Customer Service Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY Many would argue that the one marketing discipline most affected by the rise of social media and real time content online is PR. Responding to this, however, in 2010 many PR teams and agencies stepped up with much more sophisticated methods for offering instant PR. In addition, customer service came to the forefront as not just a tool for servicing existing customers, but a hugely powerful marketing channel as well. In 2011, these two disciplines will continue to lead most businesses towards creating strategies and practices for dealing with real time conversations happening online. This will create unexpected opportunities for those who have the right pieces in place to take advantage – and those who don’t will miss opportunities and risk crisis. EXAMPLE: JetBlue’s Big Media Hit During a nationally televised Monday Night Football game, the commentators referred to the NY Giants wide receivers as JetBlue. An alert employee tweeted about it, the tweet was mentioned on air and JetBlue shows millions of Americans they care, they are listening and they are one of us. EXAMPLE: Zappo’s Golden Philosophy Perhaps no business has seen more attention or accolades in 2010 than Zappos – and their real time customer service has become the icon for an entire industry of customer care teams who dream of creating the type of culture and service record that makes Zappos such a beloved brand. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 12. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #9: App-fication Of The Web – Innovative apps let consumers bypass the web for transactions and leisure. 9. App-fication Of The Web Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY On most lists of the projected hottest trends for 2010 were the rise of apps of all kinds, and looking back on the year, this fascination with apps for every task from the productive to the frivolous created a widespread acceptance and excitement about the potential uses for apps. In 2011, as more people purchase app- enabled devices, there is a large number of activities from online banking to checking email to online shopping that will shift to apps instead of the web. Mobile photos will become a larger part of how people use social networks, actively sharing their activities with their network online – and independent developers will see a secure and proven revenue stream through paid apps and respond to what consumers are willing to pay for. EXAMPLE: Flipboard One of the most anticipated apps of 2010, Flipboard promises to revolutionize the way that we consume print media, by bringing the beauty of a print magazine into the digital world in a way that the web just hasn’t been able to do. In 2011, there will be many others aiming at the same goal. EXAMPLE: The Web Is Dead In this WIRED cover story, Chris Anderson declared in August of 2010 that Apps may be the real future of the web – and there are many examples in 2010 that even if the web isn’t replaced completely, there is a good amount that we currently do online which we won’t in 2011. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 13. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #10: Reimagining Charity – Brands and entrepreneurs create innovative new models for social good. 10. Reimagining Charity Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY It is perhaps a foregone conclusion that many of the most entrepreneurial thinkers creating technology are also driven by achieving a greater social good through the technology. This is leading to a cascade of great new ideas for how charity and nonprofits could be reinvented for everything from donating money to sharing time and specific skills. Jumo and Yoxi are two such examples. Pepsi’s REFRESH site is an example from a major brand, and smaller ideas like SwipeGood a site that allows you to register your credit cards and donate your change will continue to bubble up. Together this points to a hopeful future where social good will see a lot of entrepreneurial attention – leading to some big winning sites to come in 2011. EXAMPLE: Jumo Late in 2010, the new charity based nonprofit called Jumo finally launched to much fanfare. The latest from Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, the premise of the site is to help make it easier to find causes that you want to support, and then follow them, volunteer skills or donate cash. EXAMPLE: Yoxi.tv This recently launched site has an intriguing premise – that by launching creative challenges that force people to think about solving a social good in a contest style competition, we all can generate more sustainable ideas and even change the world. The first challenge was reinventing fast food. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 14. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #11: Employees As Heroes – Large and small brands demonstrate humanity by featuring employee stories. 11. Employees As Hereos Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY A trend that has been on the rise for the last two years now is the idea of featuring employees as heroes. It has become common in the tech industry, with leading brands like Intel and IBM focusing on the world changing efforts of their employees. Best Buy has focused on their people as a way to compete on more than just price, and Pfizer has created engaging employee stories to aid with humanizing their brands and supporting recruitment efforts. In 2011, the idea of humanizing brands will continue to take shape through more and more companies realizing the value they have in their employees and featuring them not only as heroes in TV ads, but also as story anchor points in describing what they do to the world. EXAMPLE: Intel Sponsors Of The Future This series of humorous ads with taglines like “our rock stars aren’t like your rock stars” not only exemplified what Intel was all about through telling employee stories … it also awakened a latent sense of pride among Intel employees about the world changing potential and nature of their work. EXAMPLE: IBM Smarter Planet With the declaration of “I’m an IBM’er” – this campaign offers a vision for what impact IBM can have on the world through uniting their employees behind the idea of a “smarter planet.” The voices in the ads are meant to be the employees sharing what they are each working on to change the world. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 15. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #12: Locationcasting – Consumers broadcast their locations, offering geotargeted marketing opportunities. 12. Locationcasting Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY One of the major benefits of marketing with mobile devices is the ability to tailor a message to a specific location that a customer is close to. This type of marketing is loaded with issues from privacy concerns to the potential for , cyber- stalking or “geospam” … but a growing number of sites are innovating in this space because people are still seeing benefits to broadcasting their location to their own social networks. This “locationcasting” behaviour helps people to get specific retail offers targeted to their location, and also connect with others in their social networks who may be in the same space. In 2011, brands will use this behaviour to create more opportunities to engage their customers in real life. EXAMPLE: Foursquare & Gowalla The two leading geolocation sites, both let you “check in” to real life destinations to unlock badges, see special offers and share your location with your friends. Each have growing advertising opportunities are are poised to offer hyper-local geo-marketing for large and small brands. EXAMPLE: Scvngr.com Describing themselves apart from either Foursquare or Gowalla, Scvngr was created with the vision of adding a “game layer” to the real world. In it, users compete to solve challenges in the real world and amass points which can be redeemed for goods or prizes. Brands can create challenges through the service to engage customers. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 16. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #13: Brutal Transparency – Aggressive honesty will lead to edgier (and more effective) marketing. 13. Brutal Transparency Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY Transparency is one of those overused marketing words along with authenticity and conversation – however in 2010 we started to see examples of an extreme sort of transparency that led to Domino’s pizza running brutal ads showing focus groups comparing their pizza crust to cardboard and Southwest Airlines attacking other airlines for charging all kinds of fees. Both examples demonstrated that an extreme sort of transparency can be a competitive advantage because it reveals an unexpected aggressive honesty that consumers welcome. In 2011, brands who can use a similar sort of brutal transparency will emerge as big winners against meeker competitors. EXAMPLE: Domino’s Pizza Oh Yes We Did One of the standout marketing campaigns of the year featured Domino’s taking a painfully honest look at negative feedback and completely remade their product. They took focus groups to tomato farms and showed real employees with empathy –demonstrating how much they really cared about making a better product. EXAMPLE: Southwest Bags Fly Free Riding the wave of anger from mistreated travelers feeling fleeced by unfair airline fees – Southwest launched multiple campaigns against bag fees and change fees. Shining a light on their own fairer policies, Southwest successfully used transparency to make their competitors look bad, and themselves look saintly. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 17. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #14: Addictive Randomness– Random content creates unexpectedly engaging consumer experiences. 14. Addictive Randomness Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY More than the transactional moments of life, there is a power in randomness that some marketers have realized in the past. In 2010, this fact had a few ongoing examples as well as brands like the Red Cross taking advantage of it for a specific campaign – as well as sites like BrandTags exploring brand perceptions by getting people to randomly associate words with brands. As social media continues to take an increasing role in marketing efforts for brands, this addictive power of random content is going to lead to more consumer generated campaigns where people can add content to a central archive that anyone can browse – creating a new engagement opportunity for brands. EXAMPLE: Red Cross: Why The Heck Should I Give? Considering giving, but haven’t quite done it yet? This site is devoted to getting you past that last hurdle by offering reasons to give along with the ability to see more random reasons with each click. The interface is addictive, engaging and viral. EXAMPLE: PostSecret.com A classic example of randomness, PostSecret is a community art project featuring the secrets of strangers. Anyone who visits the site immediately understands why compelling content presented randomly can be so addictive, as these secrets offer an irresistible window into each of our humanity which we can’t help reading. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:
  • 18. RT @rohitbhargava - 2011 Marketing Trend #15: Culting Of Retail – Online retailers who offer a unique and talkable experience inspire passionate users. 15. Culting Of Retail Influential Marketing Blog 15 Marketing & Social Media Trends To Watch In 2011 SUMMARY Online retail has successfully moved from being just another channel for bricks and mortar stores with a handful of exceptions like Amazon to more sites which have built passionate followings of customers. Groupon and Gilt are two of the most familiar examples demonstrating that the new world of retail in 2011 will require brands to do more than just offer a good transactional experience. The best sites will create a passionate following of users who not only buy products they like at good prices, but also rave about their experiences so completely that they will inspire a significant portion of their social networks to try the experience for themselves. EXAMPLE: Groupon This site has sparked dozens of copycats as they pioneered the “collective buying power” movement.Among fans of the site, there is a huge loyalty and passion for the model of group purchasing, and their evangelism will lead the site to find new fans and users throughout 2011. EXAMPLE: Gilt.com One of the most popular e-retail sites of 2010, Gilt continued to grow based on their mission of bringing luxury products to more audiences. Users need a personal invitation to join, and new deals are posted everyday at noon creating a sense of urgency and incentive to buy that other online retailers are actively trying to recreate. 15 Marketing & Business Trends That Matter In 2011 THE 2011 NON-OBVIOUS TREND REPORT:

  • 24. STEP 3 – EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING (OPTIONAL) … A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY: ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO TAKE THE TRENDS INTO THE WORLD AND LEARN BY EXPERIENCE … Depending on the time available and venue of the event, an optional experiential learning module can help bring the trends to life. Some examples of experiential activities that we have previously used include allowing teams to interview local businesses, solving real life business challenges, producing live content or learning a new methodology from an unexpected business. To inspire this thinking, we can work together to develop assets such as Trend Flash Cards (shown at right) to help bring the trends to life.
  • 25. STEP 4 – FACILITATED WORK SESSION … A WORKSHOP CASE STUDY: LEADING AN INTERACTIVE EXERCISE TO ENGAGE PARTICIPANTS … This is the moment where the trends become actionable for your team. Rohit will use the same teaching methods from his popular signature course at Georgetown University to encourage participants discuss the trends and brainstorm how they might apply to specific situations and existing roles. The discussions in this stage aim to bring out new ideas and encourage team members to challenge one another to think more innovatively.

To help with this, we use tools such as the Behance Action Journal (pictured at right) to help offer an industry leading framework for capturing commitments and action steps. Ultimately, each team member leaves with a tangible list of actions he or she can develop and pursue upon returning to the office.
