Marketers regularly change the creative content of their campaigns, but there is no automatic driver for adopting new media channels. Changing established media allocations is risky; weighing the options requires time and effort, and then there is the “fear factor” — making the wrong decision can make exploration seem daunting. But it doesn’t have to be. Our Changing Channels 70/20/10 model captures the dynamic nature of the media marketplace and embodies the need for channel plans to continually evolve to provide optimal return.

- 78. Consumers see ANYTHING digital as digital advertising, and brands need to be invited into these spaces – make sure you act as a friend not a salesman Consumers don‟t distinguish between ads, search or information on digital mediums. Brands need to to think that anything communicated through digital is a one on one with the consumer- you are trespassing in their „cloud space”. Creativity is king on digital. Advertising needs to be more engaging, more unique and more relevant than offline. Yet in practice the reverse is true. Offline advertising is owned by the brand and you have a right and a reason to be there. Digital platforms belong to the user- unless you have something to say or add, you have no right to be there. Digital format matters- SMS and email are more personal, you need to be invited and then better have something worthwhile and relevant to say. Otherwise you may be banned form coming in again. 80

Notas do Editor

- Making progress at the right pace isn’t easy
- Learning DevelopmentThe 70/20/10 Model has been established for a long time as a Learning and Development model based on research by Michael M. Lombardo and Robert W. Eichinger for the Center for Creative Leadership.[1] The concept states that development typically begins with realization of a need and motivation to do something about it, and that a blend of different learning approaches "in concert" can provide powerful learning. Lombardo and Eichinger stated that "the odds are that development will be":about 70% from on-the-job experiences, tasks, and problem solving.about 20% from feedback and from working around good or bad examples of the need.about 10% from courses and reading.Approach to innovationPioneered by Eric E. Schmidt and articulated about Google in 2005.The 70/20/10 Model is a business resource management model.This model dictates that, to cultivate innovation, employees should utilize their time in the following ratio:70% of time should be dedicated to core business tasks.20% of time should be dedicated to projects related to the core business.10% of time should be dedicated to projects unrelated to the core business.In the same year as Schmidt was espousing the Google approach to innovation, McKinsey published a report (`Boosting Returns on Marketing Investment’) in which they recommended that in the face of declining effectiveness and trust in mass advertising and the increasing fragmentation of media, brands spend 80% of their budget on banker strategies and tactics, and 20% on learning through well structured tests. Budget AllocationCoca Cola have recently adopted 70 20 10 as a media budget allocation strategy.“An innovation-driven marketing communication strategy is vital for us”“To help guide this strategic intent we have developed an investment strategy for media and content spend. We call the model "the 70/20/10 investment principle". Basically, it gives us a way of looking at all our communication plans across the business. The first segment relates to 70% of our communications spend. This goes on low risk, "bread and butter" content. It pays the rent. It's our passport to the 20% or the 10%. Developing content for this segment should consume proportionately less time, perhaps as little as 50% of our hours. If you take a look at our Fanta brand, for instance, you could argue that our TV commercials, shopper marketing and OOH communication fall into the 70% segment. Next, we have the 20% of our content where we innovate based on what we know works well. This content will engage more deeply with a specific target group but will still operate on a certain broad scale. Last, we have the high risk content that falls into our 10% segment. This involves brand new ideas. These may one day become part of our 20% or even 70% segments. Equally, these ideas may well fail outright. We need to be prepared for them to succeed or fail, and to celebrate either outcome.
- We don’t believe this should be considered a strict formula.But we do believe this framework can be a helpful philosophy.So what do we mean by each of the elements?
- For most brands, the 70% zone of low-risk,bread-and-butter marketing is likely to involveestablished channels such as TV, print, outdoor,and radio. But this will vary across categoriesand countries. A strong FMCG/CPG brandin the United States might use TV, outdoor,online display, and online video. A brand in aconsidered purchase category in Germany mightuse print, sports sponsorship, online search,and online display. A new service brand in Japanmight use TV, event sponsorship, mobile display,and QR codes. For some brands, the 70% couldalso include word-of-mouth marketing.But to say that 70% of the budget should fundcommunications in channels that are consideredto be safe, familiar, and effective is not to saythat 70% of a media budget should remain staticfrom year to year. Based on ongoing learning andevolving brand objectives, channel compositionwithin the 70% could vary significantly over timeand from campaign to campaign.
- Innovating around media approaches that areknown to be effective could include a broadrange of options. It could mean taking a smallrisk, such as increasing your spend on a channelthat seemed to work well in your 10% last year.It could mean spending behind a channel whereyou don’t have concrete research evidence ofa return on investment. Or it could mean takinga risk in an established channel that is familiarto you, perhaps by sponsoring a sporting eventfor the first time when you have previously beenknown for associations with music festivals.For many brands across a range of categories,social media currently falls into the 20%category. Brands have some practicalexperience and strongly believe in the excitingnew ways social media allows them to interactwith their consumers. But they still havequestions about the return on their investment,and they are still learning how to create anddeliver campaigns that are truly social by design.
- We often find that innovative use of channels really drives to ROI up relative to what could be considered as expected for that channel.
- The 10% zone is the place where genuineexperimentation takes place with new andemerging channels. But this risk-taking shouldbe in line with brand and campaign objectives;iPhone apps and Pinterest pages are right forsome brands, but not all.For many brands, mobile currently falls into the10% category. The mobile marketing landscapecontinues to evolve as ownership of smartphonesand tablets grows rapidly around the world,and questions abound about the best ways totake advantage of these new opportunities.Coke UK is reported to have a “mobile first”mentality in their planning process. Starting withthe 10% not only ensures that 10% innovationhappens; it also ensures that these projects aregiven due consideration and a chance to play anintegral role in the overall campaign, rather thanbeing seen as afterthoughts.

- Success is steering a safe andprosperous middle path while evolving bothmedia and research budgets
- By databasing these studies we have been able to display media performance against each other by removing the reach effect of lead media.
- However, Facebook Display achieves good levels of consideration contribution unlike other high potential reach media
- Q12. How does this fan page make you feel about BRAND whenever you visit?The fan pages are generally having a very positive brand impact.At the same time, brands are currently missing out on the opportunity to deepen loyalty with more than one in four fans.Stylish design is the main driver of the pages generating most appeal.
- Consumers that “like” your page will undoubtedly already have a degree of “love” for your brand so make sure you deliver to higher than normal expectations. Deliver well against our hygiene factors. These remain largely unchanged; just one addition (add as animation build?)as brands get more creative within the fan page environment, a few pages may have made them a bit too confusing. Consumers increasingly appreciate those that are intuitive.
- But those who are facebook fans are extremely important to the brand, spending more than 4 times more than non-fans on the brand.They are valuable to the brand partly for their custom but also because of the role they could play in promoting the brand to others.For many brands, it is therefore important that the facebook fan page is a place fans want to spend time on and come back to, making them feel closer to the brand and more loyal and giving them the opportunity to tell others about the brand.
- LH side brand placement. Mobile ads are generally displayed above the content in a leaderboard format, which takes advantage of how viewers tend to look at the top left of the screen initially. The left-side placement is likely a reason why respondents who only briefly glimpse at the creative can still recall seeing an ad for the specific brand. Nearly two-thirds of the bottom-performing mobile campaigns do not adhere to this design.Strong call to action. Campaigns with the strongest performance on measures of purchase/behavior intent often tend to include a call-to-action, with many offering an incentive. Offering something “tangible,” such as a free app or incentive (e.g., sweepstake, coupon), is advantageous for mobile campaigns.Clear branding. Many of the trends we observe in the bottom 20% of mobile campaigns are the same ones that lead their online counterparts to falter. Both mobile and online campaigns with a weak brand presence can be hampered in their attempts to build brand awareness. The absence of clear branding on each frame within a creative sequence is a common problem among mobile campaigns that perform poorly on brand awareness and mobile ad awareness metrics.
- Some financial services brands rely on their logos too much for branding (and not enough on using the full brand name), so awareness can suffer comparatively in that category. They also don’t have the advantage of having a physical product to create recognition.Auto leads on message association – we see this in online results as well. Auto brands tend to have consistent, recognizable taglines,
- CPG campaigns may be able to utilize the smaller ad size more efficiently by showing only a brand logo, product shot and simple messaging and call-to-action. Where CPG goes wrong is by doing too much – they can often be at their best when simplest. While they can sometimes take advantage of recognizable packaging or branding, less recognizable brands suffer when the branding is only on the product itself – a wine bottle may not be enough for someone to recognize your particular label. Mobile overall does better among women, but we see this is especially true for CPG campaigns.
- Financial services suffer from a lack of tangible product, and occasionally brands try to change up the creative by not including the brand name and instead just using a logo. Sometimes brands will also try to use symbols for their products, like credit cards, or text books for student loans. But trying to transform a banking product into a physical one – which we see can lead to success with CPG – is still difficult when your product (a credit card) looks relatively similar to other brands’ products, especially if you fall prey to only branding the card and none of the rest of the creative.
- We see discrepencies arise in online when the parent brand and model brands compete for attention and awareness. In mobile, this is actually an advantage, because the space is so small, that to keep the creative readable, both the parent brand and model brand have to be prominently featured. Recognizable parent brands – and brand name is almost always included. Don’t necessarily benefit from including product shot – confusing if cropped, and branding is typically strong enough to carry the ad without a product shot. So, like CPG, a simple ad format can work well.
