PEOPLE ARE THE MEDIA: ENGAGEMENT, INFLUENCE, ACTIVATION ERIC WEAVER, TRIBAL DDB CANADA

YOU’RE ON LINKEDIN. YOU’RE TWEETING. SET UP A FAN PAGE. POSTED SOME VIDEOS TO YOUTUBE. IF YOU’RE LIKE MANY OTHERS, YOU’RE ASKING… NOW WHAT? 2

AM I DOING THIS RIGHT? SHOULD I BE EXPECTING MORE FANS? MORE DIALOGUE? WILL MORE PEOPLE EVENTUALLY “SEE” US? 3

WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A PROFOUND CULTURAL SHIFT 4

NUMBER OF PEOPLE JOINING LINKEDIN DAILY 67,000+ 5

66% PERCENTAGE OF BRAND TOUCHPOINTS ARE NOW GENERATED BY CUSTOMERS MCKINSEY QUARTERLY, JULY 2009 12

Captive audiences have given way to active ones. Customers deferred to big brands for value messages – now we refer to our friends. And advertisers often treated audiences like herd animals – in reality they act much more like a swarm. No one force guides them.

LET’S TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT THIS BUSINESS OF MARKETING 15

CONVEYING VALUE THROUGH OUTBOUND MARKETING HAS WORKED FOR 150 YEARS MARKETING IS A $1 TRILLION PRACTICE GLOBALLY EVERY NICHE HAS EVOLVED INTO A SOPHISTICATED CHANNEL EFFECTIVE MARKET IMPACT EQUALS JOB SECURITY 16

WINSTON TASTES GOOD LIKE A ______________________ 17

When I was a kid, we had three TV stations, one newspaper. Got home at 5:30pm. No work-related calls at home. Maybe four major cigarette brands. Easy to remember a tagline. 18

MAXWELL HOUSE: GOOD TO _________ 19

MONOLITHIC MESSAGES WORKED WHEN WE HAD: LIMITED PRODUCT CHOICE (?) LIMITED MEDIA CHANNELS LONGER BRAND INTERACTIONS HIGHER BARRIERS TO ENTRY 20

But now we can get pretty much whatever we want, whenever. That expectation has been set. And you’ve seen how people can become completely unglued when their latte is made incorrectly. ORGANIC, SOCIALLY-JUST, SOY HALF-CAFF, MOCHA FRAPPA WHATEV… NO FOAM NO WHIP NO SLEEVE 21

THE CONSUMER IS NOW FIRMLY IN CONTROL LISH PUB Y TO We can’t fight time ILIT starvation. Attention is a B tough ask. We can’t stop ER A product choice or media clutter. But we CAN SUM leverage consumer CON publishing and build trust. ORIGINAL VERSION: AGENT WILDFIRE 22

Trust drives preference, and ultimately, transactions. So do your marketing 91% efforts engender trust — or destroy it? OF PEOPLE GLOBALLY WILL BUY FROM COMPANIES BASED ON TRUST 77% PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO BUY FROM COMPANIES THEY DISTRUST EDELMAN PR, 2009 23

TRUST IS TODAY’S KEY TO REVENUE, AND SOCIAL CHANNELS ENABLE US TO ENGAGE IN WAYS THAT BUILD TRUST—AND LEVERAGE THE PRE-EXISTING TRUST BETWEEN PEERS. FLICKR.COM/PHOTOS/POWERBOOKTRANCE 25

MANY REMAIN SKEPTICAL A lot of Boomers still are confused about the value of social channels. It’s because of our generational lens. And no one has really explained the cultural shift in terms that Boomers can relate to. PHOTO: FLICKR.COM/PHOTOS/YUGENRO 26

BOOMERS All about propriety. We were trained in formalities, taught to never offend. Oversharing is “weak.” Guarded = safe. And your suit & tie is a sign of trustworthiness. GENS X&Y All about affinity. Formalities are ignored, sharing means being found, and they grew up with Google. Your suit & tie = untrustworthy. 2010 THE YEAR MILLENIALS WILL SURPASS BOOMERS IN THE WORKFORCE PHOTO: FLICKR.COM/PHOTOS/KATINALYNN 27

Computer-based graphic design, 1986 Email marketing, 1996 Web marketing, 1997 MANY MORE FEEL THEY DON’T HAVE TIME FOR “ONE MORE THING.” Remember the graphic designers who refused to adapt to a computer? I remember my CFO asking why we needed Internet email when we had voicemail. And remember when we started needing HTML programmers in Marketing? It’s time to adapt again – especially in a recession. 28

SO HOW DO I TAKE MY ORGANIZATION’S SOCIAL MEDIA TO THE NEXT LEVEL? 29

1. STUDY 2. LISTEN DDB° SIX 3. PUBLISH STEPS TO 4. ENGAGE SOCIAL 5. INFLUENCE Many organizations have gotten into social media 6. ACTIVATE primarily to publish (the old outbound model). But there are better opportunities. 30

NOW THAT WE’RE INTERACTING, HOW 5 CAN WE CREATE INFLUENCE? HOW CAN WE ENABLE LIKING, INFLUENCE FANNING, AND FORWARDING? HOW CAN WE IDENTIFY THOSE WITH THE GREATEST INFLUENCE AND ENGAGE THEM? 50

NUMBER OF ITEMS SHARED BY FACEBOOK USERS EVERY MONTH FACEBOOK, APRIL 2010 25,000,000,000 That’s a boatload of influence. Your brand, your value, and your content should be creative and compelling enough to be a part of this massive, trust-based global sharing. 51

FIFTH HIGHEST SALES DAY EVER FOR VIRGIN AMERICA THROUGH “PROMOTED TWEETS” (APRIL 20, 2010) 52

DDB Canada did an opportunistic campaign called ¡Hola Palooza! in which we worked to get Mexican tourists to consider Canada. So our Radar team hit the airport and enthusiastically welcomed Mexicans and shared their reactions on YouTube. Click the image to view. 53

6 HOW CAN OUR INFLUENCE INSPIRE ACTION? WHAT BRAND OR ACTIVATION PRODUCT ADVOCACY HAVE WE GENERATED? HOW DO THOSE ACTIONS AMPLIFY OUR VALUE? 54

“I COULD HAVE JUST NAMED THIS THING THE VX150 OR ZI8. BUT I THOUGHT THAT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THE PRODUCT SHOULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO THEM.” – JEFFREY HAYZLETT,CMO, KODAK 55

DDB Canada created an integrated campaign for Knorr’s Sidekicks meal accompaniment products. The traditional media was meant to creatively build brand affinity and awareness of this healthy, low- sodium product. Click the image to view the video. 56

In addition, we were asked to bring Salty to life in social media, to extend the campaign long after the spots had been pulled. Our Radar team engaged on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and even ChatRoulette using Salty’s “voice.” 57

ChatRoulette users were likely surprised to randomly connect with a salt and pepper shaker. 60

Salty’s been featured in numerous blogs and in traditional press. 61

People have uploaded videos of their kids interacting with the salt shakers – some videos have received thousands of views. 62

Fan art started appearing out of the blue on sites like DeviantArt. 63

Consumers even starting staging photo shoots with recently purchased Salty and Pep shakers. 64

Yes, even pasta art was submitted. 65

DDB Canada created a campaign for Canadian Tourism called Locals Know: the idea being that locals know the best spots and hidden gems to visit. We built LocalsKnow.ca and used traditional media to ask Canadians to post video “commercials” of their favorite local destinations there, leveraging consumer co-creation and trust.
