Marketing communications and media planning have been fundamentally altered by the explosive growth of digital media and mobile technologies. Although traditional channels like email and print media are not going away anytime soon, consumers increasingly demand that companies also interact with them on social networks, via tablets and mobile devices, and in ways that were not
possible just a few years ago.

33. The true social disconnect.
Big numbers don’t necessarily mean big results.
Less than
1% of “fans” of a brand’s page on Facebook…
… interact with it once they have “liked” it.

34. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT CHANNELS YOU ARE ON
IF YOU DON’T MAKE PEOPLE CARE.
35. Wrong focus vs. right focus.
Actually, we just have a
“give a shit” strategy.
Hey, what’s your strategy? is just a small part of it.
36. Being effective matters more than channels.
Being effective is the definition of success.
Start by asking the right question:
WHAT DO I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH?
37. Media and technology may be
changing, but business
objectives haven’t.
Take a step back.
Get some perspective.
