  3. Why CreativeMMS? • Started in 2004 • Multimedia” is a word you will start to become synonymous with home-based technology, as technology in our homes will take a fascinating course over the next couple of years. Eventually, all the technology we use in our homes, such as Computers, Televisions, Phones, Digital Cameras, Music Players, DVD Players, Home Security Systems, and even more will all come together to form our home “multimedia” station. While this seems like something out of a fantasy movie, the internet and current technologies have brought this futuristic idea within the realm of this decade. “ • Ben LeDonni, 2003 Twitter: #NovaCreative

  36. What is SoLoMo? • Social • The recent shift towards time spent on social networks has created a shift in marketing. • Businesses must be where people are, and people are discussing things socially online. • Local • Internet advancements made it even easier for us to see what’s going on around us. • Groupon, Living Social and others bring discounts to local consumers • Location awareness helps businesses to know when and how often consumers come in to their store, allowing them to offer incentives. • Mobile • What’s in your pocket? • Mobile computing makes it even easier for businesses to connect with people while on the go. Twitter: #NovaCreative

  37. Youtube: Success Example • Old Spice • Old Spice created a series of YouTube videos advertising their product that quickly went viral, averaging over 23 million views. • Their most successful video has over 32 million views, and that number is growing on a daily basis. • These videos present different versions of the “ideal” man, with an amusing tag line that insinuates Old Spice can “smell your man into a romantic millionaire.” • Because of the humor, the videos led to a number of spoofs, increasing their popularity even more. They even received press coverage for their originality and success. • http://youtu.be/owGykVbfgUE Twitter: #NovaCreative

  38. Facebook: Success Example • American Express: Open • American Express created a forum just for small business owners and leaders. • Through a strategic partnership with Facebook, they created a massive contest for small businesses that generated lots of interest and increased their fan base. • It helped that they offered a valuable prize ($20,000). • https://www.facebook.com/Open Twitter: #NovaCreative

  39. FourSquare: Success Example • Dominos • “Mayors” get free pizza • Domino’s pizza credited Foursquare with a 29 percent increase in their profits. • By creating promotions that encourage customers to “check-in,” they increased the mention of their company across social media networks. Twitter: #NovaCreative

  40. Social Media: Failure Example • Toyota • The Toyota account @CamryEffect was replying to users who used a Super Bowl related hashtag like #Giants or #Patriots with an offer to win a car. • What made this worse is that Toyota set up verified accounts for @CamryEffect alongside @CamryEffect1, @CamryEffect2 and so on – in total 10 accounts. • This allowed the company to effectively spam their Twitter campaign to every user who was using Super Bowl related hashtags. Twitter: #NovaCreative

  41. Social Media: Failure Example • Chrysler • "I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the #motorcity and yet no one here knows how to (expletive) drive.” • Stated by agency employee on Chrystler’s twitter feed • He was fired, as Chrysler has a huge presence in Detroit and does not tolerate cursing on their social account (obviously) • Chrysler's decided not to renew its contract with his employer. He single handedly lost the account. Twitter: #NovaCreative

  42. Key takeaways • Social media changed and continues to change the game for marketing • Social media is about connecting, just like business sales, and customer support • Participate, add value, and build a rapport with people / followers / friends • Open Source technologies and SoLoMoempower businesses • If you build it they WILL NOT just come. • If they come, you better hope you built it right. Twitter: #NovaCreative

  43. What’s next? • My thoughts • SoLoMo when combined and done properly allows companies to do some cool stuff. People like cool stuff. • Internet shopping continues to rise. Add in coupon websites being all the rage these days and new social networks claiming space (Pinterest) and it wont stop anytime soon. Eventually it will all be combined into one experience. • Businesses that do not figure out web conversion and traffic will be left in the dust. • What do you think? Twitter: #NovaCreative
