16. Social Media is changing the role of
marketer to focus heavily on content
creation

continue to grow as Social Media tools
improve and more and older consumers
climb the Social Technographics Ladder,
moving from Inactives, Spectators, and
Joiners to Collectors, Critics, and Creators.
18. SEM and Social Media
• Bing, Yahoo and Google recently made changes to
the way their search engines index the real-time
web, and status updates and tweets are rapidly
finding their way into top search results.
– Need to integrate Social Media into SEO strategies
– When consumers search for brands and campaigns
they are increasingly likely to see results that include
blogged and tweeted criticisms as they are links to
official brand sites.
– The search engine changes mean that 2010 will be the
year when brands can run but they cannot hide.
19. Twitter
• Will eventually allow advertising
– (e.g. ad placements embedded into tweet streams)
• Subscription fees for Corporate accounts are likely
coming
• More traffic will come from Twitter
– but it will be branding / awareness in nature
• No one yet realizes the full potential of Twitter by the
end of 2010 we will all have a better sense of how it fits
into the marketing communications mix
– Twitter management shops will pop-up all over the place
20. Facebook
• Will release the “Open Graph API” allowing any site to
become, in effect, a Facebook brand page
– Users can become fans of sites registered through the program and
publishers will have access to their News Feeds and other
communication channels on FB
• Facebook will make it easier for developers to collect email
address within 3rd party applications
• Some are predicting that young people could soon stream off
the site to avoid status updates from mom and dad, just 50%
of the 15-24 crowd is checking Facebook regularly
21. Digital Is Changing Traditional
Advertising
• All media is moving to trafficking and management
platforms similar to those used for online
– Ad Serving (DoubleClick, AtlasDMT, 24/7 Real Media)
• Digital media is about digital delivery, the ability to
generate real-time metrics (lots of them) and most
importantly the ability to optimize mid-stream
• This capability is coming to traditional media
– Television with growth and penetration of digital cable,
DVRs, and other digital delivery technology
– OOH – Already moving to digital platforms (e.g. digital
billboards)
– Radio – HD Radio
