http://www.influxinsights.com/blog/article/1742/can-brands-cope-with-consumer-participation-.html
Influx and many others have been following and reporting on the Marketing 2.0 trend which suggests a new open environment of participation between brands and their customers. <br><br>The catalyst of the internet has made all the possible and brands now have the power and potential to engage in real dialog. <br><br>A few days ago I was struck by this stunning stat from the BBC News as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cybersoc.com/2008/01/audience-conten.html">reported by Robin Hamman</a>, who was commenting on a presentation given by Peter Horrocks, Head of the BBC newsroom.<br><i><b><br>"BBC News can get 10 - 20,000 emails and messages a day, this still
only, Horrocks says, represents around 1% of the audience..."</b></i><br><br>This suggests that we've only scratched the surface of consumer participation, obviously the BBC being a giant media company, is an extreme case. <br><br>It raises some interesting questions.<br><br>How can the BBC cope with that volume of participation?<br><br>How will it cope when it increases?<br><br>How does it or does it respond to the wisdom of the crowd, given that it's only 1% of its audience?<br><br>If we shift over from the media to the marketing world, it appears that most marketing departments aren't yet designed and organized to manage and cope with Marketing 2.0, most are still working and structured for a 1.0 world. <br><br>The Marketing Department is going to need to change radically, but there are some questions.<br><br>How do they make the transition?<br><br>When does the "tipping point" occur?<br><br>Marketing departments need fundamentally new skill sets, new positions/job titles and they are also going to need some smart technology to assist them. <br><br>Given how little bandwidth most departments have these days, it's safe to assume that there are quite a few brands out there who risk damaging their reputations because they simply aren't structured to cope with the new era of conversation and participation. <br><br><br>Posted by Ed CottonInflux Insights2008-01-10T10:21:54Z10 things i learned from IDEO
http://www.influxinsights.com/blog/article/1669/10-things-i-learned-from-IDEO.html
10 things I learned from and about <b>IDEO</b> from hearing them present<br><br>Jane Fulton and Paul Bennett of <b>IDEO </b>presented at yesterday’s <a target="_blank" href="http://adage.com/article?article_id=122026">Idea Conference<br></a><br>1. They don’t do ego- self-deprecating and humble is their style.<br><br>2. They are observers of the world and look for ideas in it- the way people do or don’t use things. My observation on this, planners in the ad business listen, but don’t look. <br><br>3. They aren’t afraid to talk to their own employees to glean insight.<br><br>4. Observation doesn’t just lead to product solutions, it can also help services; seeing a woman round-up her utility bill was the inspiration for <b>Bank of America’s</b> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/archives2/bank_of_america_says_keep_the_change.php">“Keep The Change” </a>concept.<br><br>5. They believe people just want dialog- they are now willing to say anything to get a response, they just like having the power to speak. They wonder if marketers can help them.<br><br>6. Dialog is the new optimism. Showed us an example of Sainsbury’s <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/YourIdeas/forums/showthread.aspx?PostID=3604">asking customers for product suggestions</a> and warning them if products are about to be de-listed.<br><br>7. They like Japan and Japanese creativity- especially the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dxc8f7Il6Y&mode=related&search=">Panasonic battery campaign</a> that encouraged people to build the first battery powered plane and the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/20/business/worldbusiness/20tieless.html?ex=1274241600&en=a076e5ef3479388e&ei=5089&partner=rssyahoo&emc=rss">tie removal campaign to help save energy</a> in Japan. Both by Hakuhodo.<br><br>8. They believe communication needs to be playful, optimistic, enthusiastic and participatory.<br><br>9. They see the world fragmenting into micro-communities of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yelp.com/topic/los-angeles-the-great-pug-out-may-20-pug-lovers-unite">Pug lovers </a>and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ratspacnw.org/">Rat fanciers.</a><br><br>10. Moments can become movements- lots of little actions can add up to something bigger.<br><br><br><br>Posted by Ed CottonInflux Insights2007-11-16T10:42:59Zbook launch- the age of conversation
