  • First, you may already be using data from customer relationship management (CRM) tools and market research to inform campaigns. But a wider array of data signals is available, from analytics on your brand's website (that could tell you your most popular products, for instance), to audience data (that could give a glimpse of age, gender, or interests), to contextual insights about which device, location, or media type delivered the most success for a campaign. The trick is to know all the sources of data available, and figure out which can fuel smarter creative.
  • Too often, the creative agency and production shop are brought into the campaign process after the media strategy has been decided. By informing the creative agency of all the data from the outset of the project, you can work with the agency to build more relevant creative strategies for your target audience.

Each of those shared Snaps will have a branded sticker or GIF, along with a link to help drive traffic to related content on a website. Desktop visitors to those sites will see a Snapcode that can be scanned with a smartphone camera while using Snapchat to share a web link with friends and followers.

  • Optimization is a standard practice for most marketing channels. Not so much in influencer marketing, according the influencers surveyed. Influencers indicated that it is rare for marketers to ask for active campaign data and even more unusual that adjustments are made midstream.
  • One topic that the influencers strongly agreed upon is that longer engagements would produce better results. They believe their followers will see brand partnerships as more authentic and will become more familiar with the brand as they see it more. They also feel that micro-relationships, like one-post campaigns, are ad-like, which can discredit both the brand and influencer.
  • Many influencers provided anecdotes of high-performing content, especially on blogs, that lived long after the influencer marketing campaign ended. Examples of continued performance include content interaction, traffic generated to a website and appearance in search results. As an opportunity, marketers could engage with the influencer to amplify that content where it lives or extend it through paid support. At the very least, reengaging past successful partners or content should be top of mind.

  • Often, marketers are going blindly into relationships with influencers. Influencers said that marketers rarely work with them to understand their audience and what may resonate, everything from tone to type of content.
  • If you offer no flexibility in your creative brief or campaign, you may not get the results that you want. Since influencers believe they know their audience better than anyone, they also believe that, if given flexibility in creative, they can produce better outcomes.

    You Need to Ask Us for Our Opinions Influencers believe that marketers need to learn to work outside of accustomed transactional relationships. Many insist that marketers see them only as a contractor, not a partner, and therefore rarely ask them for their opinions.

    In his book, Tell to Win, Peter Guber joins writers like Annette Simmons and Stephen Denning in evangelizing for the power of story in human affairs generally, and business in particular.

retargeting advertising

  • The power of retargeting lies in its ability to keep your brand top of mind among users through continuous exposure.
  • optimal number is approximately 17-20 impressions per user per month, breaking down to roughly one impression every other day.  At this level, your users won’t be inundated with ads, but will see your brand with enough frequency to solidify brand recall.
  • clickthrough rates decrease by almost 50% after five months of running the same set of ads. After seeing the same ads again and again, a user’s interest is no longer peaked and the ads are more likely to blend into the background.

  • Google +1s are more highly correlated with search rankings than any other social factor, including Facebook likes/shares and Tweets.
  • “We have a lot of our clients whose titles are actually changing from SEO Manager to Content Strategist,” Dotterer said. “Search engine optimization sounds like you’re doing something to the engines themselves, but what you’re really doing is optimizing online content. You optimize it by changing the content you’ve already created to better fit the voice of the consumer. You also optimize by finding the gaps in the content so we can create more.”
  • The importance of content creation has encouraged more companies to get their SEO, social and creative teams more involved in content strategy,

  • Google+ also enables marketers and writers to link content to their Google+ profile via its Authorship feature. Once the content is linked, the profile picture will appear next to the link in search results, which in turn, can help gather more page clicks and a higher search ranking.
  • “You don’t use Google+ in order to get in front of your prospects or your customers,” Herinckx said. “[Customers] are still using Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn because Google+ is so small. From an SEO standpoint, and from a paid search standpoint as well, Google will pull in information from Google+ into the search results, which helps your search result stand out.”

  • In today’s fast-paced, multichannel world, marketers no longer have the luxury to spend months crafting large projects; they must innovate and produce on the fly and respond immediately to market disruptions. In their new report, the researchers explain, “Agile for Marketing (A4M) drives long-term marketing strategies with short-term, customer-focused iterative projects that improve responsiveness and relevance. It allows for faster creative, more testing, smarter improvements and better results.”
  • 63% of marketing leaders indicate agility as a high priority, but only 40% rate themselves as agile.
  • The CMOs we spoke with needed a solution that would help them orient marketing activities around the constant change in the marketplace—a solution that allows them to be more dynamic and flexible in their operations, more productive, and more collaborative and integrated in their work product.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Where confusion or inconsistency sets in is around Agile, the methodology, and the use of it in marketing. Agile helps reinforce a culture of agility by providing structure that drives marketers to be iterative, flexible, customer-centered, and focused on priorities of high-value. Many CMOs are unfamiliar with the Agile Methodology used in software development and its application to marketing. We are seeing adoption grow, but it’s still a new concept in marketing.
  • As CMOs become more and more responsible for growth, they have an unprecedented need for speed and flexibility.
  • Marketers who wait to deliver a big splash are not taking advantage of real-time ways to infuse market feedback into the development process.

Social media in 2018: Time to grow up or get out - Marketing Land - 0 views

  • Instead of complaining that you are being “forced” into “pay for play” on networks like Facebook, embrace the fact that social paid promotion is probably the most sophisticated marketing tool ever created.
  • There is a steep learning curve to doing it right, and the need for a regular investment of time to properly manage campaigns. Additionally, even for paid campaigns, you still need to have content that doesn’t trigger ad blindness. But the ability to target your messages to exactly the right people, and to creatively remarket to those who have already shown interest, is unparalleled.
  • There is a major side benefit to moving toward that kind of content, beyond just keeping you in the news feed: Truly engaging content is better for your business. It helps make your brand more respected and remembered. It develops positive feelings toward your business that help influence people when it’s time to make a buying decision.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The lesson from the influencer marketing scandals of the past year is that using people who are influencers merely because of their follower count is a losing proposition. But that doesn’t mean influencer marketing is not valuable. The key is to seek out relationships with influencers who have truly earned their influence. You should be looking for people who have real respect, trust and authority in your industry, or in an area that at least relates to your industry. The pitch here is a genuine exchange of value, where you bring something to the table for the influencer (other than just a hefty check), and they contribute their sincere endorsement and amplification to their audience.
