As consumption habits shift, brands require
       media ubiquity




                          The average consumer sees c. 3,000 brand
                          impressions a day. Media is and will continue
                          to converge as brands are challenged to
                          intercept this elusive customer, regardless of
                          medium, channel or time of day

                 Two or more channels of paid, earned, and owned media.
                 Consistent storyline, look, and feel.
                 All channels work in concert, enabling brands to reach
                  customers throughout the customer journey

       When the Super Bowl lost power, Oreo quickly
       stepped into the spotlight




                                   During the unexpected 34 minute
                                    power outage at the Super Bowl,
                                      Oreo stayed agile, designing,
                                   captioning, and approving a clever
                                    tweet in minutes which, within an
                                    hour, received more than 15,811
                                       retweets and drew 19,610

Putting the Pieces Together




© 2013 Altimeter Group
We asked brands, agencies and
             vendors to rate the maturity of the
                Converged Media space….


          Respondent       Average
            Group           (1-5)
                  ALL       1.95

               Brands       2.18

              Vendors       1.72

             Agencies       2.08

                                     Respondents rated the maturity of the Paid, Earned and Owned space
                                     on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is Very Immature and 5 is Very Mature.

Summary
        Converged is here. Facebook and Twitter ads are
         proof. Those who take advantage now will have an edge.
        It's not easy. Immense internal change must occur as
         lines blur, both internally and with agency partners.
        Leverage data and platforms that propel campaigns
         forward by aggregating ad data, corporate content, and
         social, then derive analytics.
        Converged media is rapidly bleeding into offline channels
         and also creates demands for real-time marketing
         capabilities.
        As consumer gadgets and devices and media channels
         proliferate, this will only become more complicated.

Editor's Notes

  1. http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/4d6eb01ccadcbbca07010000/times-square-new-york.jpgI think this is applicable to B2B as well. Every buyer is influenced by brand impressions.The average person sees some 3,000 brand impressions every day.1 The media and information they consume might originate in traditional media, social media, advertising, or — with increasing frequency — a hybrid of all three. Consumers rarely pause to note provenance. Media are a veritable blur. The primary quest is for information, entertainment, or shopping. The goal is simply to find the “right” media, be it paid, owned or earned, along this highly dynamic customer journey. Brands are challenged to intercept this elusive customer and cut through the media clutter, regardless of whatever channel or medium consumers are engaged with.
  2. ANIMATED SLIDE, MUST BE IN PRESENTATION MODE TO PLAYBut despite a fragmented industry, media are converging because consumers demand itComplexity is increasing in the business space. Consider these facts:There are new sources of information: Aside from press, media, analysts they are also relying on the crowd, friends, colleagues. Soon augmented reality will allow for new data forms we’ve not yet seen. (that’s about 5 factors)New forms of media: The channels as we know them Paid Owned and Earned are starting to intermix, as a result a new form of media is impacting them. Social websites have social ads, making content and advertising a new form. (that’s about 3 factors)New screens: Traditionally we’ve thought of TV, Laptop, and Mobile, but now we must factor in a tablet experience (which is different than the aforementioned) and with Google Glass augmented reality coming, that will be a fifth screen to build a strategy for. (that’s 5 factors)To understand the complexity, this model suggests 5 X 3 X 5 which is 75 different permutations. Next, the brand must understand this for every single phase: awareness, consideration, intent, purchase, support, loyalty, advocacy, (that’s 7 steps, resulting in 525 permutations per persona) then multiple times every product group and then geography, the math is staggering on the complexity.
  3. Gray area: eg. RetweetsOutlying channels don’t neatly conform to the categories of paid/owned/earned media. This is to be expected from some forms of digital media. Online contests and sweepstakes, for example, are often hybrids of paid, owned, and earned media. And as mentioned above, shared media (“likes,” “retweets,” “shares,” etc.) are considered by some to be a wholly separate channel from earned media. Moreover, shared media may or may not contain original content (e.g., a comment or other earned media) added by the sharer. Co-created content is another category that could be assigned to earned or to shared media. We acknowledge these arguments, but for the purpose of this report we will consider “shared” media to be part of earned.Definitions for Reference- Paid media: are display or broadcast advertising. In digital channels, paid media include banner ads, Pay Per Click (PPC) search ads, advertorials, sponsorships, sponsored links, and pay-per-post blogging. The common factor of all these channels is that they are a form of advertising for which a media buy is necessary.Owned media are all content assets a brand either owns or wholly controls. Owned media channels include websites, microsites, branded blogs, videos, and the brand’s own(ed) presence on social media and social network channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, etc. Owned media is largely content marketing, i.e., content a brand owns and/or publishes that involves no media buy.Earned media is user-generated content created and/or shared by users. (It bears mentioning that some consider shared media to be a separate channel. More on this below in Outlying Channels.) Types of earned media include consumers’ social media posts, tweets, reviews, videos, photos, and open online communities. Another component of earned media is mentions in media or on social channels that are the result of PR or media relations. For brands, earned media is the most elusive and difficult of the three channels; while it can be influenced, it cannot be directly controlled.

  5. Converged Media utilizes two or more channels of paid, earned, and owned media. It is characterized by a consistent storyline, look, and feel. All channels work in concert, enabling brands to reach customers exactly where, how, and when they want, regardless of channel, medium, or device, online or offline. With the customer journey between devices, channels, and media becoming increasingly complex, and new forms of technology only making it more so, this strategy of paid/owned/earned confluence makes marketers impervious to the disruption caused by emerging technologies.
  6. From a brand perspective, converging media types has tremendous value: The insights that accompany analyzing earned media instruct and inform the areas in which to amplify using paid and where to innovate with respect to owned. Owned media provides the platform upon which earned and paid can exist and is foundational to the brand presence and messaging, which inspires earned. Paid media helps drive volume to owned and earned channels, and ultimately what amplifies the brand message.

  15. Above: Altimeter found a workflow pattern based on 34 interviews, while we heard a variation on workflow patterns, this one was common
  16. If your effort is kicking off, start by conducting analysis of what’s happened in earned, and owned channels. We often heard from interviews that earned tells you what target market is saying or where they are, which informs owned.  However in most cases, launches were built off existing products so analysis on owned was common.  This analysis should be conducted looking back several periods (months to years).
  17. Often companies jump to decide what they say, without analyzing what people want to hear, and that’s why the prior phase on analysis and reporting was a requirement.  Companies can now develop a content strategy, but should understand how it changes and varies depending on the following variables:  product type, geography, channel, screen, and source of information.  Note that this spans many internal teams from corpcomm, brand marketing, media buying, social media team and all related agency partners.
  18. This phase requires both internal governance on message and engagement orchestration that includes communication, internal collaboration, a series of meetings, a clear leader and the tools to support.  We’re currently seeing a variety of tools from CMS, media network management, and social media management system (SMMS) technologies span this environment.
  19. Real time measurement and iteration (center item) should be occurring as a baseline, as a result, post-publication, teams will identify hot paths and hot conversations where content is resonating.  Then, teams should invest in sending in content experts, community managers, product leads, executives, or influencers to trigger further discussion.
