The Insurgent Consumer
• By a 3 to 1 margin, people are far more likely to trust “average people like me”
• 67 percent of consumer goods sales are based on WOM (Word of Mouth)
• Consumers trust WOM recommendations far more than they trust traditional marketing and advertising
• People would rather hear about real experiences and perspectives than “marketing-speak”

It’s not so much about TECHNOLOGY
Social media is about PEOPLE
“First it’s an understanding that social media is about sociology and less about technology. It’s a mashup of new and traditional media that spans across advertising, PR, customer service, marcom, sales, and community relations.”
Brian Solis – PR 2.0
Social media is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into content publishers.
It is the shift from aone-way broadcast mechanismto a many-to-many model, rooted in conversations betweenauthors, people, and peers. (Wikipedia)
“MARKETS are CONVERSATIONS”
“PARTICIPATION is MARKETING”
We no longer simply TARGET AUDIENCES, we PARTICIPATE in COMMUNITIES.
Information has to be “Findable” and “Shareable”
Search Social
Every Voice Matters
Some Voices Matter More Than Others
WOM is More Important Now Than Ever

Lose Control of Your Content
“For your ideas to spread and rise to the status of a World Wide Rave, you’ve got to give up control. Make your Web content totally free for people to access, with absolutely no virtual strings attached.”
- David Meerman Scott, author, World Wide Rave

Blogs allow organizations to…• Reach new audiences and build a loyal web following • Give your company its own unique voice on the web• Provide a place to collect and share ideas• Engage your customer in conversation• Get customer feedback• Enable a dialog between you and your customer
“It’s become an expectation that if you have a business, you havea blog. Consumers are looking to find a community around your service. They’re looking to have conversations with you about the products they’re using.” – John Jantsch, Duct Tape Marketing
"Anything which can get the right info to the right people at the right time, empower your company to become a thought leader, and let you know what your customers and the industry are thinking about you in real time is something that has massive value.“
– Jeremy Wright, CEO, b5media
Three Types of Blogs• Personality (CEO, C-level execs)• Company (News and Events)• Topically-focused (SEO)
After much personal research and experience, I've found that a genuine, helpful, humanized blog, combined with the art of cultivating and building relationships, can forge real connections, shape perception, improve customer service, and also enhance brand loyalty, reach, and resonance.
The truth is that a thoughtful and well-cultivated corporate blog can yield many benefits that not only help PR, but also enhance every facet of corporate communications along with improving sales cycles, customer service and ultimately loyalty.
Blogging is about extending a voice, connecting people, and nurturing relationships. This is the only foundation for which any blog strategy should be built.
