23. The Opportunity of Attention
• Attention yields conversion
• All monetization strategies begin with attention
For the first time in history, the social graph provides a real
time, direct relationship with your audience based on an
attention exchange
Will you harness the value of your greatest asset?

24. Attention means more than “likes” and “followers”
Attention means engagement and trust
Which leads to action
Convertible attention = business value
26. Content
• Engagement is tied directly to the right piece of content
• The audience demands what it wants; let your audience
“pull”
• Wealth of untapped content beyond what’s currently made
available
• The right mix of content builds trust and social capital

27. Delivery to a fast moving social
graph
• When interest intersects with availability
• Just understanding who’s in the room isn’t enough
• People who are influential in a topic are not that 24hrs a day
• Timing is a key ingredient to convertible attention
28. Evolution of getting it right
• Real-time vs. yesterday’s reports
• Focus human effort on creative tasks and insights
• Let computing science solve data questions
• Understand that the social channel will grow importance and
scale and requires proper resources to do so
