Recording now available! https://soundcloud.com/officialsxsw/go-home-marketing-you-are "In order to succeed into today's competitive digital landscape, companies must leverage mobile enterprise technologies while engaging in social media cross-channel in agile content marketing blah blah blah." Sorry, marketers. We can’t hear you, because we have collectively, actively stopped listening. Your ads, your overloaded websites, your sponsored content, your "infotainment series"—these are not the things we want or need. What we need, dear people, is for you to pause … and breathe. Stop treating every day like a fire drill. Momentarily ignore the shiny new trends. Instead, take a look at the things that are (still) fundamentally broken. Your message is splintered. Your teams are siloed. Your technology is backwards. Your content still sucks. So let's sit down together and talk about a whole new world of marketing, one where pragmatism and principle drive a new kind of innovation: fixing what's actually broken, versus finding new things to break.

According to a recent poll of various web-based media producers,

content could be hotter, more social, more shareable. “While there is

certainly buzzworthy content out there, some of which is even snackable,

I do think content in general could be more relevant, more bite-size, and

make a stronger brand impression with trending keywords and a more

responsive design,” poll respondent Mark Zeligman told reporters, noting

that the last piece of content he came across was an infographic that

was neither flexible, timely, viral, nor engineered to maximize reader

engagement. “After all, can we honestly say the content that’s out there

right now is as buzzworthy and highly shareable as it could be? Does it

inform, engage, and convert? Is it digestible? Does it both increase

impressions and amplify the brand? I think you’ll find the answer is no.” At

press time, poll respondents reported that when it comes to content, you

gotta start thinking more bullet points, more lists, more visuals, more short-

form, more microcontent. – Feb 3 2014 The Onion

For all the planning and millions of

dollars that go into the creation of

Super Bowl commercials, arguably

the best ad of the game last night

was a tweet. – Ad Age

With one incredibly quick and

clever missive during last year’s

infamous “Blackout Bowl” game,

Oreo may have officially launched

Twitter as the new hotspot for

Super Bowl advertisers to make

their biggest impact. – Yahoo! TV

The team’s first instinct upon the blackout

was to figure out how Oreo can be relevant

in the moment. Having a full team of

made last night’s real-time culture-jacking

quick and seamless.
