Purposeful Action
Vs Branding
The idea most business leaders
have of marketing was created for a
different time and place. This is
how modern brands succeed.

Branding
Shared Action + Shared Values = Shared Profit
First proposed by Cindy Gallop
and put into action by Levi,
Action Branding proposes a new
idea of how brands build
connections with consumers.

Both Levi and
Braddock had the
same goal.
Shared
Action
Levi hired the towns
people to be in their ads,
and gave $1 million to
rebuild the city, and
created an ad campaign for
the city.
Shared
Profit
They both shared in
the profit. Braddock
got back to work, and
Levi showed their
honest brand.

Agile PROCESS
There are an infinitely growing number of marketing
channels which require content. This brings about a new level
of content we must produce. The only way to create enough
content with a high enough success demands a new
foundation on how we execute marketing campaigns. We
must learn from other business departments who have faced
similar issues.

Place your pin on the blue dot. Your goal will be to close your eyes
and then draw a straight line to the red dot. Stop when you get
there.

40.
Your line probably looks like this.

41.
Now try again, but feel free to stop when ever you want. Leave
your pen on the paper, and open your eyes. Recalibrate, close your
eyes then continue to draw your line. Take as many stops as you
want.

John,
I noticed an article on Content experience,
and thought you might like to give it a look.
John,
There is a video in our resource library on
Lead nurturing best practices, here’s a link to it.
It was recorded with Jay Baer.
John,
I’m not sure if you follow this guy on social. But
If you’re on Twitter you might want to
check out @jaybaer. We’ve just shot a webinar..

The New Middle
60%
Creating, building, and managing relationships across social media will require
frequent small and phatic gestures. These actions can not be created by
advertisements, or automations. They must be managed and executed by
humans creating a new role for marketers, “The New Middle”.
a new marketing role

54.
Micro Actions
Small phatic gestures called “Micro
Actions” will be used by the new
middle. These are likes, comments,
shares, re-shares, etc. They also
have the ability to create instant
notifications on mobile devices by
passing news feeds altogether.
Provide a use to “Like”
They are able to reliably break
through the infinite noise because
they are warranted, wanted, and
valued by consumers and can not
be blocked by ad-blockers. They
also fulfill consumers purpose for
being social in the first place.

55.
Engage
Look to doing
simple social
enabled actions.
These actions go
deeper into their
purpose.
• Like
• Comment
• Mention
• Share
@msweezey

56.
Notifications
Let the new middle know who to engage with and when. This is
how the new middle improves the velocity of leads in the new
selling market place.

“ By asking specific questions related to the content and
mentioning the customers and people of interest from Twitter. I
received engagement from the customers, who began to ask
questions or agree or challenge points we made in the blogs…..
They told us our approach was “refreshing” because we were
building relationships without bombarding them with phone
calls, emails and meetings (like the competition).“
