The Olympics are over. And there have been a lot of great stories told and many a great performance. Arguably, the best of these belongs to the appropriately named Usain Bolt who is the new owner of the “fastest man on earth” title with an astounding 9.69 second 100-meter dash. An article this week in Wired points out that Bolt’s performance has defied the natural “curve” of what biostatisticians have predicted. In other words, they ...

Or, should I say, your customers – and even your employees – universes. Even in this new age of Web 2.0 and beyond, we have do-dad after do-dad after do-dad to “connect” with customers. And my fear (and what I’m seeing) is that more and more companies are applying their old ad mentality to the new world tools and trying to make YouTube, Facebook, blogs and the like, just another one-way communication tool and jam ...

Living in the Badlands of Central Texas has some benefits. I took advantage of one those benefits on Saturday morning by visiting Snow’s BBQ in Lexington, TX. Brand Autopsy blog readers will recall an earlier post about Snow’s BBQ, a small town BBQ joint that was once hardly-known but now is widely-known thanks to hefty praise from Texas Monthly magazine. Saturday was the day for me to make the hour-long drive to visit Snow’s and ...

by Josh Bernoff This is the story of the video in the following post. In Groundswell we profiled George Wright and the team at Blendtec that created "Will It Blend", a series of goofy videos that show off the power of the company's industrial-strength blender (and have increased sales by 20%). I thought to myself, "I wonder if I could market Groundswell as cleverly as this." Rather than think of something original, I ask George ...

Is it really possible to create a viral marketing effect? Sure, it’s possible to create a viral marketing strategy. And it’s certainly possible to know what viral marketing is and, theoretically, how to use it. But can you just simply create a viral response in some formulated or calculated way? Or is viral marketing something that happens as a result of a little solid word-of-mouth marketing and a little luck? Well, according to Ze Frank, ...

Last week I spent the entire week at a music festival. I will leave it unnamed because overall I did like the event and intend to go next year again. However, it was run by a bunch of music people, and it really needed a professional event coordinator to help with the big picture. Here is the mistakes they made that you should not make if you are doing an event. Big Breaks - They ...

Il rapporto “sancito” tra i giovani, gli strumenti e i paradigmi della rete è ormai un dato di fatto inconfutabile. I dati parlano chiaro e le strategie di marketing che mirano a coinvolgere questo target e a far condividere risorse ed emozioni hanno successo e smuovono dal torpore questo segmento sociale “scafato” di fronte ad ogni proposta e offerta. Negli ultimi anni la crescita dell’utilizzo di internet tra gli under 18 è stata molto forte, ...

Secondo la Gartner Inc., in base ad una serie di studi sull’evoluzione del target on web, con l’incremento di traffico che le social network stanno generando su Internet, le aziende devono assumere una posizione nei loro confronti. Nonostante i social network hanno avuto la tendenza a concentrarsi su gruppi demografici più giovani, si stanno espandendo oggi in gruppi più grandi di interesse per una base più estesa. “Fino a poco tempo fa, le aziende hanno ...

There is a magic power that a growing number of people are starting to have. It's happening all around us with social media and yet most of the time it is going without notice. I can now communicate with someone without communicating with them. I can tell them something without talking to them. And I can virtually guarantee that my message gets through to them no matter how flooded their inbox. Welcome to the world ...

Il passaprola è ormai per tutti gli analisti del settore marketing e per buona parte dei professionisti che lavorano con vecchie e nuove metodologie uno strumento di diffusione di idee e promozione creativa fondamentale. In un recente studio online che ha preso come campione 600 uomini e donne adulte, novaQuant ha analizzato le influenze del passaparola riguardo alla presa delle decisioni rispetto ad un gruppo diversificato di prodotti e servizi, che vanno dai computers alle ...

I recently had the opportunity to teach a full-day workshop devoted to online communities and netnography for Nissan at their corporate retreat in Hakone, about two hours outside of Tokyo, nestled in the hot spring foothills of Mt. Fuji. It was a great session, and the feedback and comments were incredible. I’m very grateful to Hiroko Osaka, who planned the event, and to Nissan, which made it happen. One component of the workshop involved getting ...
