Social, local, mobile, augmented reality, QR codes &#8211; all these new channels have come onto the scene, while the importance of email, digital advertising, TV, direct mail and other more traditional channnels is not in question.<br \/>\nThere is a huge opportunity here &#8211; for more complex, tailored, and &#8211; above all &#8211; engaging, marketing from brands to customers. However, there is also an enormous challenge &#8211; complexity. And it\u2019s a pressing challenge &#8211; currently, mass marketing has a 2% response rate, and that\u2019s declining. And there\u2019s a knowledge gap &#8211; 70% of CMOs believe marketing complexity will be \u2018high\u2019 or \u2018very high\u2019 in the next 5 years &#8211; but less than half of them are prepared to cope with it.<br \/>\nThe key issues that CMOs are wrestling with when dealing with this change are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do they work internally to shift traditional thinking regarding campaign management, channels and approaches &#8211; to catch up with the new consumer<\/li>\n<li>How can their company leverage the fact their consumer is more accessible than ever. Specifically, how should one manage multiple vertical campaigns through social, mobile, local and other channels<\/li>\n<li>Is it possible to finally crack the age-old problem of creating consistent local messaging for a global business<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Death of Push Marketing<\/strong><br \/>\nIt turns out that mass marketing now gets a 2% response rate. And it\u2019s dropping. Unsurprising, really &#8211; whenever anyone asks consumers what they want, it\u2019s pretty rare they say \u201cBoilerplate sales messages please\u201d. Your customers now want valuable, long-term engagement with a company that seems to give a damn who they are and what they care about.<br \/>\nOur third theme is the need for CMOs to completely shift how they engage with their consumers &#8211; from short-term, mass market, declarative messaging. Now you\u2019ve got to create long-term relationships, based on valuable content and conversations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Talk like a human &#8211; and sing from the same hymn-sheet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The advent of social media has meant that the world of separate internal and external messaging has disappeared. If a customer talks to your Customer Service department, they expect the same response they\u2019d get if they talk to marketing, or sales, or engineering. Creating a unified external face is critical. If you want to build long-term relationships, you\u2019ve got to have a consistent, human voice &#8211; coming from all levels of your organisation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Create valuable content to foster meaningful relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Further, customers are no longer happy with receiving badly-targetted sales messages. When social got popular and companies jumped on the bandwagon, they expended all their efforts gathering followers. And then they tried to sell to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Customers don\u2019t want exclusive deals. Or interesting new products. They want valuable information that matters to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So content creation and distribution is the second piece of the puzzle. You\u2019ve got to create content that is engaging, relevant and\u00a0of value\u00a0to your consumers.<\/p>\n<p>So, two more problems to wrestle with.<br \/>\nFirst, you\u2019ve got to get every internal department singing from the same hymn-sheet. They\u2019re all external-facing now, and they\u2019ve got to act like it.<br \/>\nSecond, if you\u2019re going to raise awareness, build relationships, and engender loyalty, traditional marketing doesn\u2019t cut it. Start generating (good) content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 10.8pt;\">By Nick Johnson<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 10.8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Source:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/usefulsocialmedia.com\/blog\/analysis\/the-three-key-marketing-trends-for-2013-based-on-feedback-from-100-cmos-and-senior-execs\/\">http:\/\/usefulsocialmedia.com\/blog\/analysis\/the-three-key-marketing-trends-for-2013-based-on-feedback-from-100-cmos-and-senior-execs\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are three key shifts\/themes\/challenges\/opportunities that we feel we influence senior marketing executives (responsible for strategy, not execution) over the next year &#8211; and beyond.
