8. How would you characterize the era that we’re in now
with regard to the relationship between digital and brands?
“Brands for the last 15 years have been looking at online as another
media channel to buy ads on. So they buy or rent eyeballs or audiences or
uniques from the media properties that provide them.
Now you’ve got with all of this user generated content and user
interaction and user engagement is the opportunity to build brands in a
different way.
We believe that brands will get built in the future off the back of
meaningful, trusted, authentic and transparent engagement with a set of
constituents, and then the amplification of those interactions by those
advocates on behalf of those brands in a trusted, authentic and
transparent way.
And that engagement at scale we believe is what’s going to drive brand
building for the future.”
Jeff Dachis, digital marketing pioneer, Co-founder, Razorfish
9. We are beyond trends.
Shift_ happened.
Fundamental sustained strategic shifts have happened that will continue
to accelerate people power… and change their behaviors and expectations…
powering potential for brand’s to deliver increased value.
trend
• general direction in which something is developing or changing or has a
tendency to move
• popular taste at a given time
shift
• to exchange or substitute one thing for another of the same class
• to move or transfer from one place or position to another
• to alter (position or place)
• to change position, direction, place, or form
10. Important changed brand building perspective to drive value
today and tomorrow…
A Brand’s traditional ‘target audience’ has been focused on:
consumer/customer
a person or entity who buys, acquires, consumes goods/services for personal
needs, direct use, ownership
&
prospect
a
poten(al
customer,
client,
or
purchaser
I believe a sustained strategic shift has occurred in our rapidly transforming
digital era that requires us to adopt a new focus
from consumer/customer/prospect to people.

15. Buckle your seat belt… significant shifts_ are accelerating.
“This cycle of tech disruption is materially faster and broader than prior cycles.
No industry or business is immune. We will see the re-imagination of nearly
everything… powered by new devices, connectivity, UI, and beauty.”
Mary Meeker, General Partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, & Byers
17. Accelerated adoption in 2013+ … digital Brand marketing
will play pivotal roles to increase potential for people and brands.
- Digital is everywhere and should elevate marketing and business priorities for
Consumer (people) benefit.
- Digital is not just an ad medium - it now is an interaction & engagement
medium.
- Leading CMOs embracing digital disruption - creates remarkable potential to
bulldoze traditional sources of competitive advantage faster, with greater power, at
less cost than any force that came before it.
18. Accelerated adoption in 2013+ … digital Brand marketing
will play pivotal roles to increase potential for people and brands.
- Digital media solutions will provide CMOs the advantages expected online:
precise targeting, measurability, and pay-for-performance pricing.
- Brands will no longer simply explore/test technologies, but employ them at scale,
moving emerging digital ad strategies from the margins to the mainstream.
- To win… brands and agencies must understand levers within digital-marketing
mix that lead to success, and commit to wide-scale implementation.
19. Some of the shifts_ CMOs will have to work through:
- integrate important traditional fundamentals with digital into ever-changing
channels of communication with consumers
- stop thinking about digital as another media channel
- overcome the current divide between digital marketing and brand marketing to
successfully develop and implement compelling brand experiences
- master investments in marketing technology and marketing innovation
- drive their brands to deliver cohesive brand experiences that use digital to
augment and extend their engagement with people in other channels and media
- connect with people in a way that differentiates the brand from competitors
20. Growth in digital forecast to remain in double digits through 2015
accounting for One in Five Ad Dollars
Worldwide in 2012, digital ad spending passed $100-billion mark for the first time.

Multi-screen behavior maximizes brand metrics.
Simultaneous device usage while watching TV.
Multi-tasking: when a consumer uses multiple devices to simultaneously perform
unrelated activities, such as Facebooking while watching TV.
Complementary usage: when a consumer uses multiple screens to perform
related activities, such as viewing a live stream of in-game statistics on a tablet
computer while watching the broadcast of the same game on a TV.

Are we over that fear of giving away our brand to consumers?
“Absolutely not. We’re in the earliest of earliest of stages of this next sort of phase of
development, the idea that brands don’t necessarily have control over where their brands live
anymore. This shift is from ‘mass communications’ to a ‘mass of communicators’.
Used to have this sort of one-way, I can talk at you and build my brand at you. Now I
need to engage with you and build my brand with you because you’re going to say what
you want to say anyway, whether or not I’m engaged in that conversation.
So I might as well get engaged in that discussion, I might as well get involved in how you feel
about the experiences that you’ve had and help you have an affinity toward my brand and help
me amplify that affinity to the people who trust you.”

#BrandValueReimagined
Power has shifted from the producer to the people.
Consumers (people) are winning the fight to own the new ‘consumer’.
Value is being re-defined. The increasingly sophisticated and highly-connected
consumer expects more from brands; he or she wants personalization, relevance,
convenience, simplicity, and proximity. To stay competitive, brands need a new
approach to consumer engagement and conversion. They need an integrated digital
marketing strategy.

#BrandValueReimagined
First Moment of Truth … online & offline.
Listen & watch. Identify & innovate hidden value.
Value creation potential will flow away from traditional brands that don’t accelerate their adoption
and commercialization of these sustained strategic shifts. It will flow towards brands,
communities and individuals that understand and act on the big trends shaping our future.
Marketers will realize that technology doesn’t really add value unless it adds value for the
customer. Leading companies will embrace technology as a tool to help build customer
relationships and create enduring connections.

Trust has to be earned more than ever - every day, every time.
Edelman Trust Barometer: business implications of having a trusted reputation and, conversely,
the devastating impact of a negative reputation:
-85% of respondents report they have bought products/services of a company they trusted
-conversely, 73% say they refused to buy products or services from one they did not trust
In our connected digital age, we will see an acceleration of ‘Reputation Management’ tools.
Building an authentic, transparent, trusted reputation for a company/brand and ensuring that all
messaging consistently reinforces it across all online and offline touch points is a critical
marketing stewardship and communications role given the speed and transparency of our
global, interconnected digital world.

Survival of the quickest … real-time, fluid, agile!
"I don't believe in futurists that much anymore - they are usually wrong," he says,
responding to a label that is often applied to him.
"I'm calling myself a 'nowist,' and I'm trying to figure out how to build up the ability
to react to anything. In other words, I want to create a certain agility. The biggest
liability for companies now is having too many assets; you need to learn how
to be fluid and agile.
'It's kind of a spiritual thing," he continues. "You want to have your peripherals wide
open and adapt as quickly as you can. I think that will be an important survival
trait of people and companies in the future.”

Successful orgs recognize need to be highly agile, flexible.
Real-time media buying takes hold. The intersection of location awareness,
social media, and mobility is finally delivering the ability to target customers with
incentives and coupons at the point of decision-making. This is compressing
buying cycles and creating the need for more agile thinking and actions. But
these tools are also providing a powerful way to listen to customers and
understand trends and micro-trends as they pop up.
Real-time marketing and listening platforms demonstrably works … not just in
social channels… but across the marketing spectrum.
