(…just to name a few)

“IN 2008, IF YOU’RE NOT ON A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE, YOU’RE NOT ON THE INTERNET.” IAB PLATFORM STATUS REPORT: USER GENERATED CONTENT, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ADVERTISING - AN OVERVIEW, APRIL 2008
IT’S NOT A FAD.
IT’S A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE.

90% of people who can skip TV ads, do.
The average person is exposed to
3000
advertising messages/day
14%
ONLY OF PEOPLE TRUST ADVERTISEMENTS.
Reason #2
78% OF PEOPLE TRUST THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OTHER CONSUMERS. NIELSEN “TRUST IN ADVERTISING” REPORT, OCTOBER 2007
14%
VS.
78%
HMM….
The new communication model is a dialogue.
Which means it’s….
TRANSPARENT INCLUSIVE AUTHENTIC VIBRANT CONSUMER-DRIVEN
And it’s NOT…
CONTROLLED ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVE PRODUCT-DRIVEN “ON MESSAGE”
“Content is the new democracy and we the people, are ensuring that our voices are heard.” Brian Solis, “The Social Media Manifesto”
Reason #3
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BRAND. RIGHT NOW.
34%

trust bloggers’ opinions on products & services
Reason #4 SOCIAL MEDIA “IS ONLY GOING TO BECOME MORE PERVASIVE AND AS SUCH, BECOME A CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF ANY BUSINESS.” BRIAN SOLIS, SOCIAL MEDIA MANIFESTO, AUGUST 21, 2007
Welcome to the future.
SOURCE: UNIVERSAL MCCANN COMPARATIVE STUDY ON SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS APRIL 2008
AND SPEAKING OF THE FUTURE… (a.k.a. Reason #5)
Tomorrow’s consumers are today’s “digital natives.”
By 2010, Millenials/Gen Y-ers will outnumber Baby Boomers.
They already wield $350 BILLION/ year in direct spending power.
MILLENIALS SPEND
>16 HOURS/WEEK ONLINE.
96% OF THEM HAVE JOINED A SOCIAL NETWORK.
They have an average of 53 online friends.
AND THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR AD.
THEY CARE WHAT THEIR FRIENDS THINK.
Translation:
THE TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU.
F**K!
HOW DO I GET ON THE TRAIN
?
EASY. JUST F**KING GET ON.
“It’s about conversations, and the best communicators start as the best listeners.” Brian Solis, Social Media Manifesto
A.
Listen.
Immerse yourself in the conversations.
(any or all of the above are a good place to start!)
Messages are not conversations.
B.
Participate.

S h a r e
s o m e
s t u f f .
IT’S A DIALOGUE, NOT A MONOLOGUE.
I absolutely ADORE the food at that restaurant!
Me, too! And isn’t the bartender just dreamy?
C.
Relinquish control.
REPEAT AFTER ME:
“THE GOAL IS NOT TO CONTROL THE CONVERSATION.”
THE GOAL IS TO:
ENABLE INSPIRE INFLUENCE &…
D.
Engage!

LOVE YOU OR
HATE YOU! ( JUST DON’T LEAVE THEM INDIFFERENT.)
AND FINALLY, A WORD OF WARNING:
