With clients’ expecting "real-time" responses to RFPs, marketing agencies have to act fast to find experts and develop innovative solutions that win new business. But with agency teams distributed globally, it is increasingly difficult to coordinate a comprehensive response that incorporates relevant case studies, employee backgrounds, and 'elegant solutions' for each opportunity within a few days.
In this webcast, Jackie Bartolotta from Millward Brown and Elizabeth Brigham from Jive Software will share how Millward Brown is generating new business by using social business technology to find internal experts, collaborate on proposals, and reduce the time it takes to respond to RFPs.

22. Case 1: Solving problems through knowledge sharing
22
Client wanted Millward Brown’s POV on
‘consumption shots’ in ads.
Posted question in the Greenhouse
Feedback from 16 colleagues from 7 countries
(178 views)
Team had been facing this question across all
client brands for a few months (both client team
and ad agencies) and had struggled to give a
clear answer on pros and cons.
“I feel like this is a great
example of the Greenhouse in
action. We will definitely be
using some of the POVs from
this discussion to build an
answer for our client and
being able to draw from
everyone's experience gives
us a very powerful answer.”
- Account Director
Found relevant and useful answers to client questions from others
experiencing similar challenges.
23. Case 2: Cross departmental collaboration
23
Used the Greenhouse to find experts in different offices and leverage
global expertise.
Team working on a proposal for a client in South Africa, requested
highly specific examples.
Posted in our ‘Can You Help?’ space.
7 responses from 5 countries within 11 hours with names of experts
around the globe who could help.
24. Case 3: Winning new business
24
Saved time gathering the right information from the right people, some of
whom they had never known before.
Help with a proposal for a client looking for industry
specific experience and in their request, team
mentioned could potentially become Australia’s largest
client
Feedback from 10 colleagues from 3 countries within
2 days (186 views)
Built into their proposal a couple of slides about
Greenhouse and how it can be used to leverage
global expertise
Won the pitch and this is now the second largest
client in Australia.
“The Greenhouse replies were
helpful - and we incorporated this
in the proposal. We were actually
using Greenhouse to
demonstrate how we can reach
out to our global community…
There were obviously lots of other
elements involved in the pitch, but
I'm confident this was a part of
what highlighted our competitive
edge.”

28. How has knowledge sharing changed with Greenhouse?

“With our old system, the small team of
Knowledge Managers were a bottle neck
in terms of knowledge sharing; now there
is an increasing sense of a global
community, sharing ideas and
experiences.”

I imagine many of you are planning a campaign or in a campaign mid-flight. You put together your plan in Excel, draft a creative brief in Word, save to Sharepoint, email a link around and then morph everyone’s feedback into a slide deck for leadership. On top of that, you’re spending about 80% of your day in meetings rather than actually getting your deliverables out the door. This is what I lived every day at Disney as a marketer before I knew about social business.Time wasted in tools focused on documents instead of peopleEvery day spent going from meeting to meeting talking about work instead of getting it done No good way to collaborate with External PartnersTurn it over to Scott to talk through his experiences within his marketing team at UBM Tech Web to illustrate how Social Business technology has changed the way his team works
Today we want to talk about the intersection of social business technology and marketing. So what do we mean by social business technology? All of you are familiar with how social media has influenced your lives as consumers and how your customers “own” your brand –the usual suspects: facebook, twitter, + social network flavor of the month.For 20+ years, we’ve been using tools that are focused on mechanization and automation. However, those tools are table stakes. To build a competitive advantage, we need to move toward tools that help us harness social capital.
What that means is focusing on the people in our network to create a working platform. That said, social business technology won’t completely remove email or Excel or PowerPoint. However, it does bring all of those deliverables into one place where you can easily collaborate with your cross-functional team to get work done. So the emphasis for social business technology is on connecting people to get work done, rather than a system that’s just a container for documents.
We’ve been talking thus far at a high level which makes social business technology sound like a nice to have. But I’m arguing that social business technology is a disruption to marketing operations and can generate real value.For example, overall, McKinsey is estimating the potential to unlock 900B - $1.3T ANNUAL value. For marketing alone, there’s the potential for $500B – namely through reduction in operational costs (fewer meetings trying to wrangle buy in from stakeholders all over the world) and decreased time to market which leads to beating the competition.
To wrap things up concretely and to set up Scott’s case study, I wanted to highlight a few of the top use cases for specifically how marketers can use social business to collaborate in their daily lives.Marketing campaigns:You have to work in cross-functional teams across the org and outside (e.g. agencies) to get strong campaigns to market. Social business brings all of that work into one place, rather than having to chase down spreadsheets and stakeholders across the worldPartners:Agency work involves many meetings/conf calls/travel and sending large files back and forth via email for feedback. Again, social technology gives you a platform with one place to store all this data and have active discussions/provide feedback.Sales enablement:A major focus of our job is to ensure sales has the right product material and has access to us as subject matter experts for questions. Streamline conversations about deals, distribute the latest collateral and close more with social business.
