Content & social operations: Marketing superpower

11th February 2016

Your customers are more connected than ever. Your marketing must be more connected than ever.

Core challenge. Consumers are defining their media landscape and the pace of change.

Not a wave of change….

Waves.

Pace and scale of change.

Increasing investment.

In 2015 31% of marketing budget was spent on content.

Challenges

CUSTOMERS COMMUNICATIONS ORGANISATIONS

“…there are so many dots that people don’t bother to connect them.”

A combination of increased mobility, increased information, and increased impact means that we have reached a tipping point…

This creates the kinds of problems that only MCTs can solve.

Preston Cline, The Wharton School

Newsrooms are the MCTs of marketing.

Newsrooms as MCTs

- Delegated brand voice authority ‘on the

decks’

- Realtime data and customer feedback

- Short planning cycles with instant

adaptability

- Team of teams - focus on collaborating

and sharing knowledge

Newsrooms value to the enterprise

- Customer interface.

- Tactical innovation.

- Organisational / cultural innovation.

Christopher Bailey, Burberry, February 2016

‘In 2010, we did a livestream of the show. It was a meaningful decision to get closer to the customer and a broader audience, because we were doing these spectacles of shows, but it was feeling very insular. 

All the things we’ve been doing since then have been steps to get closer to an audience that loves fashion, loves the energy of fashion, the music, the spectacle, the people.’

- Digital brand platforms

- Strategy & governance

- Team building

- Process and audit development

- Tech platforms: selection & set-up / training

- Internal brand & comms

- Loyalty/advocacy programmes

- Performance reporting & insight
