58. 1. We don’t live in a
broadcast world
anymore – It’s
never been cheaper
to reach billions
Appropriate
amplification is key.
59. 2. Production costs
have never been
cheaper.
Tailor you content
and tune it to your
audience
preferences.
60. 3. Buyer Research is key.
Your buyers should drive
marketing programmes,
not instinct.
Be guided by your buyers
and you can show ROI.
61. 4. Ideas are the
currency of B2B.
Think like a publisher
and thought leader. It
is less about your
product and more
about adding value.
Balance Search and
Social based on this.
70. CONTEXT “As information and
intelligence become
the domain of
computers, society will
place more value on
the one human ability
that cannot be
automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth,
ritual – the rich
language of emotion –
will affect everything
from our purchasing
decisions to how we
work with others.
Companies will need
to understand that their
products are less
important than their
stories.”
71. “I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Mapping
Useful Content
Average cost of acquisition for a lead is U$150 – need to qualify this exactly
Extend the life of webinare, instead of white papers
Visual speak still means that stories connect us to content. Speeding up how quickly we can absorb information.Telling this story in words would have had little or no impact, compared to what the SPCA was able to do in 60 seconds. A minute of video is equivalent to 3600 webpages by the way. And this video has just under 11 million views since May last year.

Here is a B2B example that is 1 minute in length and had a production budget which we estimate to be under $10K. ------ Today Quality is up and production costs are down for video.
. We have different sides to our own personalities to consider, when connecting with our respective audiences. This study by TNS last year, looked at our different behaviours around social and business media.
Opinions and thought leadership
Between 1/3 and half the cost of adwords for lead gen – however the content has to be relevant ie tell a story
Unleashed Ads
New modality…
– the challenge is that we are spending $billions (87 in the USA alone), using the broadcast mentality.
53 trillion ads, with .1% click thru rates mean you want effiiciency
15% of daily searches have never been seen before – that’s 41,000 per minute. Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube
our role is changing into that of inspiring educator, who tells stories about success, achievement and aspiration – like John Keating in dead poets society.
