New Media Cookie Cutter Set up a web site with information and/or 'cool stuff' to interact with or download Convert the PSAs and print material into digital formats Promote like crazy through traditional media and the web (blogs, MySpace, viral, WOM) - now it's new! Use cell phones and SMS as a response channel Push messages and alerts out to participants who opt-in at the web site or through SMS to receive them Measure results by eyeballs and click throughs Caution: Adherence to these principles will insure that you develop a program that uses new media and does not apply social technologies that fit into people’s lives and practices and help change behaviors in relevant ways.

The question isn’t whether they are effective – it’s what is the average effect size they achieve (how much change do they result in)?About 5 percentage points, so that a baseline level of a behavior usually in increased, for example, from 60 to 65%. Campaigns for seat belt use (r = .15), dental care (r =.13) and adult alcohol reduction (r = .11) have had the strongest effects, while youth alcohol and drug campaigns have had the least (r = .01 -.02).

Mobile phones are not the next ‘magic bullet’ – we need to think of them as part of the personalized media space our people formerly know as ‘audiences’ are creating for themselves. Ubiquity in this increasingly mobile environment will be a key factor for our future successes in public health.
We act in ways that are consistent with howwe think about ourselvespeople we respect and trust want us topeople we aspire to be like behavepeople we associate with behaveWe are social beings wholook for validationshare experiences with othersact at our best and worse with others
An important point to reiterate about the new media world is that it is a networked one, not unidirectional or linear. This reality does not just pertain to how we depict our communication processes; it also reflects people’s reality. Just a cursory look at some of the health behaviors that are the focus of social marketing programs reinforces the fact that all health behaviors are, to a greater or lesser degree, social. New media now allows people to explore these social aspects with greater freedom than ever before. Freedom from geographic and temporal boundaries, open access to sources and information, and the ability to create the digital and social contours that surround health conversations, information-seeking, decision-making and behavioral choices. Encouraging screening behaviors for conditions and diseases that presently do not bother someone has been the subject of much work since at least the 1950s when the Health Belief Model emerged as a way to conceptualize the process for tuberculosis screening. Over the years, HBM and other individual models of screening behavior have predominated much of our thinking despite the evidence that social influences are likely much more important. Whether my health care professional recommends that I get screened for high blood pressure or blood cholesterol levels; breast, cervical, skin or prostate cancer; and other potential (and silent) problems is a social communication process – not simply a perception of perceived risk and severity of the disease. Whether I know other people who have been screened for the condition, what their experiences were, whether they suggest to me that I should have it done too, are much more powerful influences on my decision-making than some theorists would have us believe. That I can sit down at with my desktop, laptop or smart phone, connect to the internet and now find like-minded others who want to share their experiences can have a tremendous impact on how social my treatment-seeking behavioral determinants become. The web is changing the weights in our models of determinants of health behavior…The same types of questions are also important when we address the cessation of addictive behaviors (where social support becomes such an important determinant of short-term and long-term success), Adoption on new behaviors – especially complex ones like dietary changes and increasing levels of physical activity, compliance with medical regimens (where friends and family care-givers play a huge role), precaution adoption - taking actions or changing behaviors to avoid or reduce the threat of intentional and unintentional injuries, health information seeking (where over 66% of online searches involve looking for other people’s opinions, reading blogs, visiting social network sites), and taking collective action and advocacy – where the rise of mobile technologies have taken these activities to a whole new level of sophistication and effectiveness (see Smart Mobs).Source: Lefebvre, RC.

When we accept the fact that we are working with health behaviors that occur within the frame of a social reality, not the all-American individualistic one, the power of the new media as a social network tool – not just another channel through which to direct messages in the ‘old world’ manner – becomes clear. When we accept the world as networked, and not layered or hierarchical, the role of any individual within a social system becomes much more flexible and nuanced. Not all people will be equally comfortable in the many different roles offered by the networked world. Seekers, curators, connectors, mavens, lurkers, conveners, weavers, guides, and many other types of roles are now possible for us to take on, encourage or support in our social marketing programs. Some of the questions we should be asking ourselves as social marketers in the networked world are: How can we enhance linkages that already exist among people, organizations and communities to allow them to access, exchange, utilize and leverage the knowledge and resources of the others? How do we help develop, nurture and sustain new types of linkages that bring together like-minded people, mission-focused organizations and communities that share interests to address common problems and achieve positive health and social change? How do we identify, encourage and enable the many different types of indigenous helpers that are found in social networks so that they can be more effective in promoting health? What do we do to better engage communities in monitoring, problem analysis and problem solving; striving to health and social equity; and increasing social capital? How do we go about weaving together existing social networks of individuals, organizations and communities to create new sources of power and inspiration to address health and social issues? How does a networked view of the world disrupt our usual ways of thinking about and engaging the people, organizations and communities we usually work with? What are the insights we can gain from this perspective? Source: Lefebvre, RC. The new technology: The consumer as participant rather than target audience. Social Marketing Quarterly 13:31-42.

“Mobile communication is seen to facilitate the combination of autonomy and safety by making the individual free to relate to the world at large, while still relying on her personal support infrastructure…Mobile communication has greatly enhanced the chances, opportunities, and reach of interpersonal sociability and shared practices. People, particularly young people but not only, build their own networks of relationship, usually on the basis of their face to face experience, interests, and projects, and then keep them constantly open by using wireless communication, more often than the fixed-line Internet…Too often the use of mobile devices has been perceived and interpreted as a function of consumerism, oriented by fashion. Evidence seems to indicate that this is a very narrow interpretation of users' behavior, once wireless communication has diffused broadly in a given social context. Mobile communication is used for all kind of purposes, many of them highly instrumental, in professional work, in the organization of the family's everyday life, in sustaining sociability networks, in commercial transactions, in gathering and forwarding information, in sharing music, in producing and diffusing images, in socio-political mobilizations, and the like.”Source: Castells, M., Fernandez-Ardevol M, LinchuanQiu, JL, and Sey, A.
