Social Media, Now What? Engagement and media in 2011
Wow!
- 600 million facebook users world wide, 1.8 million in Finland - ever growing amount of social networks - social media was marketing topic No 1 in 2010 - social gaming reaches audiences unheard of - farmville sets a record with 80 million users
Figures and statistics are impressive
Brands want to engage with consumers
- being there where people are - being close to customers and having a long term relationship - having a deeper connection and understanding - savings on marketing- and media costs
Key arguments why to use social media in marketing
- outcome of social media strategies unsatisfactory - basic understanding of trends, development and platforms is not enough
From common sense to social media specialist and back
Branded twitter accounts with very few followers
Non-engaging facebook apps from the assembly line
Repetitive mechanics without surprising elements, heavily supported by bought media
Fan pages with so called ’fans’ and no idea what to do with them
Boring crowd source approaches from the shelve
Social media seminars all around
Failure rate is really really high, reach and thus impact often very very low
Confusing messages in press, e.g.:
Social media is sold out
Brand open pages in social media,
Social media fail
From love brands to like brands???
An open letter to all of advertising and marketing
Rethinking social media for brands.
It has been a social revolution in how we communicate, not a revolution in how we do business per se.
Business revolution vs. Communication revolution
What is social media?
Our social networks have been extended and transformed by digital technology
into a powerful mass media – into social media.
What is social media?
People are now mass media
If you are the media, brands and marketers have to earn their media space. It’s all about your behaviour. Brands have to earn your engagement.

All media space or placement we create and own ourselves
All media space or action we have to earn by non-financial efforts

Two funnels!
Silos: Good for farming, bad for marketing
- traditional and new will co-exist and inter-depend in a post digital era - media convergence: different media will get closer and borders blur - increasing level of complexity and fragmentation, again - holistic thinking based on behavioral research is key - companies organized in silos will feel more and more uncomfortable - planning and strategy are crucial, as non-linear, ongoing process
Digitalization of social networks turned them to a powerful mass media.
The ’media’ space in social media is a human being, not a website. Thus it is all about behavior.
If people are the media, we have to engage with interesting content and ideas for people.
Earned media is not free. We have to earn engagement by being relevant, useful or entertaining.
Engagement marketing is easier to plan for high interest products and subjects.
Don’t do social media, if you have no engaging content or ideas. That will fail.
In 2011, the co-existence of media will turn even more to inter-dependence and convergence.
We are entering an era of post digital. We are operating in complex systems.
We need smarter, more innovative and more creative solutions to our business problem.
Expect an extra planning effort. Strategy work as non-linear, ongoing and holistic process.
