Why Marketers Need to Reorganize Around the Most Powerful Behavior Principle of All: Ut... - 1 views

  •  
    To plan a more complete response to the new world, marketing needs to reorganize around its unifying principle: utility. Above all, utility is a response to, and a requirement of, the inevitable time crunch in a tech-sped world. That's why Nike Fuel Band wasn't just the innovation of the year; it's the first full-utility footprint. Utility also requires replacing the chain of faith with a chain of actions. We need to plan and monitor how our messaging bounces along the stream of consumer interaction, and through the path of commerce. For example, retargeting extends utility to display advertising, and smartphone point-and-shop apps (e.g. WiO and Shazam) start to fulfill on the commercial potential of interactive TV. Your content needs to let me activate on my terms. Utility also means we need to understand consumer behavior after seeing ads, not just before. The weight of marketing research has been on targeting. Now we need to create the lens for the complete activation spectrum.

Meanwhile, Twitter followed at 32%, and Tumblr's popularity (14%) remained the same since the 2015 survey.
