12. The world is changing...
“To find something comparable, you have to
go back 500 years to the printing press, the
birth of mass media – which, incidentally, is
what really destroyed the old world of kings
and aristocracies. Technology is shifting
power away from the editors, the publishers,
the establishment, the media elite. Now it‟s
the people who are taking control.”
Rupert Murdoch, Wired magazine

13. The world is changing...
“ Less than a decade ago, people described
the act of „going online‟ as venturing into
some foreign realm called „cyberspace‟. But
that metaphor no longer applies. Facebook,
Twitter, Flickr and all the other newcomers
aren‟t places to go, but things to do, ways to
express yourself, means to connect with
others and extend your own horizons.
Cyberspace was somewhere else. The Web is
where we live.”

14. Trying to keep up with digital
is a bit like this...
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
15. “As we know, there are known knowns. There are
things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns. That is to
say we know there are some things we do not
know.
But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we
don‟t know we don‟t know.”
Donald Rumsfeld,
former US Secretary of Defense ,
at Press Briefing February 12, 2002

27. Data is the key
“How much value lies untapped in existing corporate and
public data streams? My guess is a lot. How many
companies are truly joining up their data to extract and
interpret the kind of intangible insight that has real tangible
value? My guess is very few. That, to me, has opportunity
written all over it.”
<Neil Perkin: Predicting The Unpredictable

League matches on TV whilst playing it in real-time on a computer, iPhone or
iPod touch
• „Dual screen‟ digital initiative transforms TV watching into a social interactive
experience for football fans. The game taps into competitive banter of the
fans by creating a live TV game experience that can be played from
wherever they are watching the game
• Overlay to live football matches, first global example of a social media
gaming platform. Fans watch the football on TV while playing StarPlayer in
real-time, anticipating events on the pitch live and making decisions on what
will happen in next few seconds
• „Dual screen‟ technology involves time-dependent decisions on play
49. Heineken „dual screen‟ game
• To score points, fans anticipate what will happen at key moments such as corners,
free kicks, and penalties, E.g. if the shot will be saved or if there will be a goal in the
next 30 seconds. With every correct forecast, fans gain points. Through the
„Interactive Champions League‟, they can also compete and share with their
friends via Facebook and with other players around the world.
“StarPlayer will really change the way in which football fans interact with the UEFA
Champions League, creating a more social experience around watching and
enjoying the matches. For Heineken to be able to bring the excitement and
competition of these premium matches to the actual fingertips of the fans through
the cutting edge „dual screen‟ technology of Star Player really showcases our
commitment to providing extraordinary innovative experiences for fans.”
Floris Cobelens, Global Head of Digital, Heineken

It is the one that is the
most adaptable to
change.”

57. ...but some things stay the same
“You can‟t bore people into buying.”
- David Ogilvy

58. From the days of „Mad Men‟
“The consumer is not a moron.
She is your wife.”

61. Individual Company Exercise
• What kinds of digital marketing does your
organisation do?
• How is Digital marketing planned,
implemented and measured in your
organisation? Who is responsible for each of
these activities?
• How well is digital integrated with offline?
• What could be done better?
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
62. The digital marketing toolbox
• Online display
• Search
• Social Media
• Affiliates
• Viral
• Email
• Mobile
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
66. Online Advertising:
interruptive or permission-based?
• Surprise the user
• Grab their attention
OR:
• Ask permission
• Invite engagement?
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
67. Cost per engagement?
• “In general, the industry suffers
from the emphasis on click-
through rate. I feel very confident
based on results that we're
seeing, especially when friends
are recommending to friends.
Research shows that, on average,
people are 68% more likely to
remember seeing the ad if their
friend has recommended it and
twice as likely to remember the
message of the ad. (Nielsen). To Carolyn Everson
us, what's more powerful than VP-global sales, Facebook
click-through is, “Are people April 2011
paying attention to the message
and remembering it?” ”
68. Online display
• The most like traditional press advertising
• Banners like strip on a newspaper magazine
page
• Debate: interruptive formats vs. permission
• Stunning effects rapidly get boring/ annoying
• Just because it can be done doesn't mean its
right for your brand
• TEST but also apply judgement

70. How adserving works

home”
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
89. Managing an online media
budget
• There is no perfect online media mix
• Budgets allocated on a test & refine basis
• Early stage online advertising may well have high
wastage
• Later stage campaigns should still contain a test
budget

91. Seek and Ye Shall Find...
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
94. Google
Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google
in 1998. Using a friend's garage as their base
of operations, they only settled on a name
after misspelling the maths term „googol‟.
Google's combination of clever search
algorithms and sophisticated ad program
AdWords propelled it to the top of the search
engine market. It has stayed there ever since.
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
95. Yahoo!
• Yahoo is struggling; CEO and co-founder
Jerry Yang resigned at the end of 2008
• Has continued to lose search engine market
share under new CEO Carol Bartz
• On July 29th 2009, Yahoo agreed „the
unthinkable‟ and appointed Microsoft‟s Bing
as its exclusive search platform. Soon the
former „king of search‟ will soon only show
results from its arch-rival
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
96. Bing
• Microsoft Bing, the successor to MSN Live
Search, launched in June 2009 with a
reported £60 million marketing budget
• Bing quickly established itself as a serious rival
to Google. Total searches on Microsoft were
up 22 per cent in a single month (Nielsen)
• comScore confirms that Bing is still on the up;
Yahoo!/Bing share nearly 30% in US in 2011

98. Search Engine Optimisation (= SEO)
“Search engine optimization (SEO) is the
process of improving the volume or quality of
traffic to a web site from search engines via
"natural" or un-paid ("organic” search results.
Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears
in the search results list, the more visitors it will
receive from the search engine.”
Wikipedia

101. Your Website SEO
Think about the „user experience‟
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
102. Your Website/SEO
• “You have to have one these days”
• Make it work for you
• Make it somewhere you are PROUD of
• Make it easy to navigate/order (usability)
• Refresh content regularly (News? Offers?
Blog?)
• Help the search engines to find it (SEO)
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
103. Your Website/SEO
• How does your site look on Firefox? Chrome?
-on a Mac? -on a mobile device?
• You‟re competing with Amazon, BBC, eBay
• Help the customer to find what they want
• Good signposting : “Where am I?”
• Don‟t have any dead-ends/ broken links
• “Disloyalty is only one click away”
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
104. Your Website/SEO
• Make your website somewhere you'd be
proud for a (potential) customer to wander
around unaccompanied
• Then find (potential) customers and
encourage them to go there (drive traffic)
• Make it interesting and useful for them to
return regularly...
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
108. Pay Per Click Advertising (=PPC)
• “Pay per click (PPC) is an Internet advertising model used on
websites, in which advertisers pay their host only when their
ad is clicked. With search engines, advertisers typically bid
on keyword phrases relevant to their target market
• Cost per click (CPC) is the amount of money an advertiser
pays search engines and other Internet publishers for a single
click on its advertisement that brings one visitor to its
website”
Wikipedia

109. Pay Per Click Advertising (=PPC)
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
111. Pay-per-click advertising
Google AdWords

prepared to pay per click on your ad (through
to your website)
• Driving traffic; people interested in your
products
• £Bid X Quality Score Your search
„ranking‟
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
113. A typical Google AdWords „Creative‟
ad
• Ad Title (25 character limit)
• Ad Text (35 character limit)
• Display URL
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
114. Pay-per-click advertising
• Easy to test
• Quick to set up
• You only pay when someone clicks
BUT:
• Easy to spend up to your limit
• Certain „keywords‟ very competitive
(eg „mobile phones‟, „accountancy
services‟)
• „Clicks‟ doesn‟t mean „sales‟ (!)

You can‟t control what they
say about you. But you can
JOIN, and maybe INFLUENCE
the conversation.

123. Social Media
“The key is to produce something that both pulls
people together and gives them something to
do...I don‟t have to control the conversation to
benefit from their interest.”

• “I am working on clarity around that at the
moment,” Costolo admits. “I am currently
trying to define what Twitter‟s purpose is in
the long term. We will be able to be more
specific on that answer in the near future.”
• Dick Costolo, CEO, Twitter, November 2010

145. • Senior PR Executive en route to Memphis
Tennessee
• Due to present to employees at FedEx
Corporation HQ about Social Media
• Bored. Tweeting on his ‟phone...

147. Be careful out there...
“Many of my peers and I feel this is
inappropriate. We do not know the total millions
of dollars FedEx Corporation pays XXX annually
for the valuable and important work your
company does for us around the globe. We are
confident however, it is enough to expect a
greater level of respect and awareness from
someone in your position as a vice president at
a major global player in your industry. A hazard
of social networking is people will read what
you write.”

“Google Analytics is a fantastic tool: from the
moment you arrange to have the tracking
code installed and you experience the thrill or
angst of your first reports appearing , showing
how real people are interacting with your
business.”

253. 7 things that are going to be
big(ger) in digital marketing - soon
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
254. First thing
Mobile esp. Android phones Vs. iPhone
• iPhone has been a „game changer‟
• Google Android platform is bringing
smartphones to the masses
• iPhone apps have been high impact but for
the few and mainly disposable
• Android apps will find a significant market
• Augmented reality, location-based services
• Mobile will come into its own
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
255. Second thing
Social Media (again)
Companies will get their act together
• Set objectives
• Plan staffing
• Interdepartmental teams
• Clear guidelines
• Empower key people
• Listen before you speak
• „Joined - up social media‟
Budgets moving from traditional to digital and from
„traditional digital‟ (online display and search) into SM
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
256. Third thing
Online video display advertising
• The power of TV
• User in control
• Customised to your preferences
• Available on demand
• „Killer app‟
• Follow the guidelines
• Easy to opt-out
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
257. Fourth thing
In-game advertising
• If you create the game you can build in ads
• Everything can be for sale
• Name awareness less powerful than full integration
into plot/ story (product placement)
• Growing area as consumer leisure patterns change
• COD Black Ops was biggest entertainment launch
EVER
• Hybrid products (game/TV show/ website)
• „Gamification‟ – FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Foursquare
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
258. Fifth thing
Tablet computers (following Apple iPad)
• Not a mobile device
• Not a laptop
• Doesn't support Flash
BUT:
• Very intuitive web browsing experience
• „Powerful enough‟
• Has created a new sector
• iPad 2 will be more powerful (and no more expensive)
• More tablets will be launched
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
260. Sixth thing
Search is changing
• a) Bing challenging Google?
• Microsoft-Yahoo deal clears regulation (US and EU)
• Real competition in search?
• Microsoft making big plans
• Google innovating all the time
• A long way to go...
b) Real-time search means 'real-time SEO„
• Twitter posts previously ignored may be relevant
• Recency is powerful: “what are people saying about X right
now?”
• Much of Facebook invisible to Search Engines
• Social media converging with off-site SEO (tweets drive traffic)
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
261. Seventh thing
Big Ad agencies getting into Digital; end of the „d‟ word?
“Yes”
They have the client relationships
They have clever planners
They can offer strategic and creative integrity
They are aware where the money is going...
______________________________________________________
“No”
Slow to move/ change
Not into techie stuff/ eCommerce
Sub contract digital out to specialist agencies anyway(!)
Still in love with TV...
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
262. Consistency
• Ad agency planners used to say:
“Your brand should behave like a friend. The
same person on the phone, in a letter or in the
pub.”
• INTEGRATED MARKETING: catalogue, phone call,
sales visit, website, email
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
264. All elements of your marketing can
and should work together
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
265. Big ideas still matter
“It takes a big idea to attract the attention of
consumers and get them to buy your product.
Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it
will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more
than one campaign in a hundred contains a
big idea.”
David Ogilvy

267. Don‟t embrace „the future‟ for the sake of it
“The future‟s already here, it‟s
just unevenly distributed.”
William Gibson, 1999

268. Past and future will always co-exist
The past is still here too – it‟s just
so evenly distributed that it
blends into the background
Source: Blue Latitude/ ISBA
275. The future?
• Increasing integration of Digital into the
Marketing Mix
• Yes: it‟s all marketing
• No: digital is special/ different
• Maybe: OK but give it another 10 years...
©2011 Mike Berry Associates
276. • Digital marketing can generate response
So, when all‟s said and done…
and build brands
• Experiment and learn
• Set clear objectives
• Measure results and benchmark
• Consider the overall effect of the
communication
• No-one has all the answers
• Your next campaign can always be better!
