A good way to think about social media is that all of this is actually

just about being human beings.

Sharing ideas, cooperating and collaborating to create art, thinking and commerce, vigorous debate and discourse, finding people who might be good friends, allies and

lovers – it’s what our species has built several civilisations on. That’s why it is spreading so quickly, not because it’s great shiny, whizzy new technology, but because

it lets us be ourselves – only more so.

-Antony Mayfield from iCrossing

How Social Media came to be

MEDIA PRODUCTION

• the advent of digital technology and the internet

• the ever-lower costs of computers, digital cameras and high-speed internet access, combined with free or low-cost, easy-to-use editing software

How Social Media came to be

DISTRIBUTION

• RSS (Really Simple Syndication) makes it much easier for blogs and other social media to build or become part of communities

• Search engines

Technology is shifting the power away from the

editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now it’s the people who are in control.

- Rupert Murdoch, Global Media Entrepreneur

Shift from the Traditional Funnel Model

“WE TELL YOU.” -Brands

To a more complex Marketing Funnel

“TELL EACH OTHER.”

-Brands
