What's the Message for Marketing in Facebook's IPO Slide? | CMO Strategy - Advertising Age - 0 views

  • Facebook's sole function is engagement. It connects people with one another. Its $3 billion in revenue and $1 billion profit come from advertisers who believe that there must be ways for brands to profit from that engagement. They don't know how to do it yet. The two hypotheses they're testing are putting ads around it, and trying to actually host some of it via branded pages interspersed with people pages. There's no evidence that either yields much beyond nice-to-have benefit, and some experimenters (most recently GM) have given up trying, for now. Again, since Facebook makes money either way, I'd take a small piece of such failure and consider my life's work a success. But the bet on the inherent value of engagement is still a bet, and at $38 a share times however many zillions of shares got floated on the market, it's a huge one.

Design for Frugal Growth - 0 views

  • The control of costs had been its greatest strength. But it was now the greatest weakness. The company had spent so many years trying to reduce expenses that this imperative was hardwired into its practices, processes, and organizational design. When executives tried to shift gears, to expand into new markets and introduce new products, those old ways of doing business also had to change.
  • Meanwhile, consumers were growing increasingly sophisticated. They wanted more information about Amberville’s products. So did institutional customers, such as schools and restaurant chains. Some Amberville marketers saw the opportunity to build Web sites and use other online channels to connect directly with consumers. But these efforts faltered amid the sheer complexity of multiple product categories. And their failure led many people in the company to conclude that even the business units that were closest to Amberville customers had lost their market focus and speed.
