Social Marketing Readiness
Social Marketing Readiness Is there a more challenging, exhilarating era in history to be a brand marketer? We doubt it. After all, today’s organizations can reach consumers around the globe quicker and more cheaply than ever before and, with proper inspiration and brand purpose, win new brand advocates across the web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The question is: how can you maintain brand consistency across all these new touch points and structure, evolve, and organize the marketing function so that you are Social Marketing Ready? The opportunities presented by Social Marketing – the use of new, interactive social channels, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and countless others – can create new insights and help increase brand value in a new business environment that also places marketing teams front and center within their organizations.
The key to achieving Social Marketing Readiness lies in striking the right balance between the brand’s benefit level and the marketing organization’s openness. Put another way, Social Marketing Readiness is what happens when the brand’s level of purpose is supported by the appropriate level of the marketing organization openness.
Societally purposeful brands that are supported by open marketing organizations stand to gain most
