BLOGGING 101

There is no such thing as a ‘VIRAL CAMPAIGN’!!

AMAZINGLY OVERWHELMINGLY AWESOME IS VIRAL

VIRAL

Digital can only push the idea forward since its more easy to share on digital mediums. It is also measurable and track able.

The idea has to be powerful enough itself to go the distance.

During the financial crisis, there was a campaign by Hyundai that gave people the guarantee that if they lose their job the following year, Hyundai would buy their car back. It was an idea that spread virally without solely living online.

QR Codes – Quick Response Codes

The key to success is to offer value to the consumer - codes need to take you to something of value - product information, how-to-use video, coupons, etc. Mobile optimization is also key. The user will be getting your message on a 3-5" screen, so video or easily readable text are ideal.

QR codes are a great way to give people a ton of info digitally. Here's a scenario...a restaurant has a QR code at every table. When you scan it, it takes you to a page you can sign up for their email list. Here is the beauty of this process...a person is most likely not going to take a piece of paper home to their PC and sign up for your email list when they could be doing something else. However, if they are sitting at the table waiting for their food, there is no better time to scan the code and sign up on their phone. 

QR Codes can be a great way to link traditional advertising to digital, increase POS conversion and generally engage consumers. Nissan USA has figured out a good use for QR codes by providing them on new cars. They essentially act as a "silent sales person" for on-the-lot consumers

Be careful though in blocking yourself into QR codes, QR codes are a specific type of code. You may also want to look at SnapTags which provide more branding opportunities.

Which do you think is more powerful:

A company website or its Facebook page?

• Digital is not a job for specialists anymore.

• Lose the New Media Phobia and embrace it.

• Live the digital media, make a Techy friend.

• Every campaign can be a global campaign.

• Focus on individuals. User behaviors measurement.

• Crowdsourcing. • Focus on content: it will always be the

king!• The power of status messages

Integrate but don’t interrupt

A brand should insert itself meaningfully into people’s lives by enabling and enriching their existing behaviors, not by requiring new ones.

The real beauty of Digital marketing – the ability to test before you invest.

Beta version, pilot testing etc.

Brand corporations individuals People are starting to realize that there’s not much of a line between your personal and professional lives anymore. Digital lifestyle is taking over

121 million searches are conductedin Google every hour, but only 25% of users scroll past the first page of search results.

Every corporation is shifting towards a more digital oriented workforce. Almost every job description has a digital element to it now.

The people in your social circles — including LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ — are also the people who will help you network to a new job or career.
