We are here
You must understand we are in a time of radical change, and only by fully understanding the change can we succeed in the infinite future.
In assessing the blame for the failure of good companies, the distinction is sometimes made between innovations requiring very different technological capabilities, that is, so called radical change, and those that build upon well-practiced technological capabilities, often called incremental innovations. The notion is the magnitude of the technological change relative to the companies’ capabilities will determine which firms triumph after a technology invade an industry. -Clayton M. Christensen, The Innovators Dilemma
@msweezey
Business Environment
We operate in consists of media, consumers, and businesses. When any of these three things change we must revaluate our foundations.
Business: Use media to consume information and to publish information. They are reactionary to the consumer.
Media: Is the medium for communication between all parties in the environment.
Consumers: Are the ones who obtain information from media to fulfill their needs.
@msweezey

major changes to our business
@msweezey

Infinite Competition
of Fortune 500 companies are removed from the list in Last decade (2004-2015) 1/3
@msweezey
You no longer compete with those in your own industry, but rather the best of those fields. Consumer are now comparing all experiences against each other rather than against their vertical.

@msweezey
The relationship is primary focus of the future, and they
can not be built by campaigns alone
BIG IDEA #1
@msweezey
Remember “New Coke” the only reason Coke-a-Cola didn’t lose the cola market was because of their relationships which they build during WWII. Where they made sure every GI got a Coke for five cents, where ever they were in the world.
Campaigns Can fail
@msweezey
Kimpton Hotels is using “Journey Builder” to build long lasting relationships with customers even outside of their travel schedule. Technology allows this to happen, far surpassing Dunbars wildest dreams.
Now they
Can Scale
@msweezey
Building relationships with consumers inner desires is what we should be focused on. It is what our society is based off of, and the best way to drive people to action.
Edward Bernay’s created Public Relations after learning from his
uncle Sigmund Freud the power of the unconscious mind. He create a
new form of strategic marketing which built relationships between
products and consumers inner desires.
Bernays Is Right
@msweezey
Content is what consumers desire, but not just any
content will do.
BIG IDEA #2
@msweezey
CONTENT
Research from the Content Marketing Institute shows best in class companies spend 39% of their
total marketing budget on creating content. Yet research also shows 70% of all content created
never gets utilized.
@msweezey
Mass Media Fails
The worlds best media brands are failing. BBC laid of 500 reporters last year. Gigaom the $22 million dollar backed media brand, who pioneered blogging closed it’s doors after 8 years in 2015. We need to be relationship brands.
@msweezey
More is not Influential
There is no correlation between publishing more often and influence the content has with in a persons life, or with the relationship you have with the consumer.
@msweezey
71% of B2B buyers have been disappointed by content
-Pardot research 2013
71% Of B2B Buyers Have been disappointed with
content -Pardot Research Report 2013

71% of B2B buyers have been disappointed by content
-Pardot research 2013
25% Of them will never engage with your
content again -Pardot Research Report 2013
@msweezey
Media Made money Because they owned the relationship. Not because they mass published media.
We should learn…..
@msweezey
Mindset is the only way to manage your brand across infinite number of media
channels in the future.
BIG IDEA #3
@msweezey
Mindset Everyone in the organization understands everything they do will end
up online. Services will receive tweets, product will receive reviews, and sales will be talked about. Everyone must understand the net
positive effects of their actions.
@msweezey
Leading outdoor brand, headed by a climber. Not a business leader. First company to provide on site child care. Famous for their “When surf is good, go surf” mentality. Pardot competed in the
highly competitive marketing automation space. Zero funding, and very few dollars spent on marketing they succeeded in a market where their competitors had over ½ billion dollars.
Zappos , has become a monolith due to their customer service, and culture. This was spear headed by their CEO who’s philosophy of people first proved to be correct.
Companies Who win
All three of these companies have a culture which breeds a consistent net positive mindset. It comes form the top, and is passed down. It must sit at the top.
@msweezey
Ship My Pants
National retailer spends over $10 million on a campaign to get people to shop in their stores. The campaign was based off of an award winning tag line “Ship My Pants”
@msweezey
Infinite Media Hurts
Upon a Google search to find the local store the average review is 2.9 out of 5. Creating a bad impression directly following the positive impression of the “Ship My Pants” campaign.
@msweezey
Net Positive Experience
Upon going to the website to then purchase the website was broken. This now has created a “NET NEGATIVE” effect and the only way to win this consumer back is to spend more money. This is not sustainable.
@msweezey
Customer Executive
Having everyone in your with the same mindset is the only sustainable way for you to proactively protect your brand from the infinite amount of content which will be published about you in the future. This is why companies like AT&T give CX a seat at the Executive Table.
@msweezey
Creating Mindset
Everyone in the company must be able to answer three basic questions. If they can you will proactively mitigate bad experiences and ensure a “Net Positive” experience in the future.
- What do we value in an employee - What do we value in a customer - What do we call success
Simplicity Wins in Mindset

“It is not the height of your highs, but the valley of your lows which will shape your brand”
-Andrew Davis, Author of Brandscaping

@msweezey
Infinite content is required to market in the future so
what type of content do we need to create?
BIG IDEA #4
@msweezey
Homework Watch This
Joe Pine II explains consumers want, “Honest and Authentic” experiences. He also writes about this concept in three books, Authenticity, The Experience Economy, and Mass Customization.
@msweezey
Nobody Ever Said “I want content”
They decide engage with content to solve goals, they engage with it because
it aligns with their purpose
The worlds best media brands are failing. BBC laid of 500 reporters last year. Gigaom the $22 million dollar backed media brand, who pioneered blogging closed it’s doors after 8 years in 2015. We need to be relationship brands.

Brands?
@msweezey
Path to Purpose
Google research done in 2013 proves it is no longer a linear journey to purchase, but rather helping consumers meet their purpose. When you do you increase purchases by 42%.
@msweezey
Escape !People wanting to escape will lean on self discover and
social channels. They are looking to escape their work, life, job, and take a short break. No barring on sales readiness.
@msweezey
Discover!Discovery is one of the greatest gifts of the internet. We
have both passive and active discovery modes.
Active Discovery: Direct searches on the internet Passive Discovery: When you scroll down in Facebook
@msweezey
Presence!Is the content which consumers create about themselves to
validate the mediated self they are projecting. Simply engaging with this is fulfilling their purpose, and is
helpful, and does not require you to create more content.
@msweezey
Relevance at scale. How do you scale a small team up to
manage infinite relationships in the future?
BIG IDEA #5
@msweezey
Data Collection
Buyers become highly fragmented beings across multiple channels. They are always connected, and always on. The only way to reach them is to know more about them, and understand what it takes to really be relevant to the modern buyer.
You no longer compete with those in your own industry, but rather the best of those fields. Consumer are now comparing all experiences against each other rather than against their vertical.
Behavioral Data
You no longer compete with those in your own industry, but rather the best of those fields. Consumer are now comparing all experiences against each other rather than against their vertical.
Psychographic Data
Also combine with all other internal data.
CRM Data

Service
Single Customer View
Automation Platform (s) CRM
System of relevance
Allows for plug and play integrations with other apps who use data, and add to data.
@msweezey
Personalized Experience
Requires you to know each and every person, and demands a system of relevance which touches all aspects of your business. This puts the customer success platform at the heart of your marketing efforts. Then allows for scaling across all channels, with dynamic and predictive personalization.
@msweezey
Automations Scale
Automations allow for businesses to use data and instant actions to scale relationships across all channels. With out automations you can not scale one to one relationships.
@msweezey
Companies using predicative content on average are seeing an increase in revenue by 15%.
Predictive Content Dynamic content suggests
the best next piece of content given set algorithms
of most likely engagement.
Owned Experiences Creating customized
experiences also needs to happen both on your
website and via the email content.

over five billion species, that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct due to environmental factors. Don’t be a DoDo……
