"Asynchronous Thinking" - A Haiku Deck by Martin Smith

"Asynchronous Thinking" - A Haiku Deck by Martin Smith | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Discovered the strange secret of Internet marketing last week. We lucky few Internet marketers must do some things BECAUSE everyone is doing them. We violate these "conventions" at our risk, but we can't stop there.

We can't stop with mere emulation of current convention because there is no money to be made there. Our Internet marketing must win hearts, minds, love and advocacy to become increasingly valuable. We can't win brand advocates by copying others.

We must take the risk of passionate disruption. Disruption in Internet marketing is a tricky business. Too little disruption and your Internet marketing is conventional and boring. Too much disruption and your Internet marketing is speaking to itself about itself.

Testing is the best way to find the thin and ever-changing line between conventional boring and just the right amount of loyalty creating disruption. This @HaikuDeck is about how and why your Internet marketing must "think" asynchronously. Why you must disrupt to win.

Content Marketing is beyond the tipping point and that is both the good and bad news. Good news if you are trying to sell the concept of content marketing. Bad news if you are behind (and you are always behind someone in Internet markting). The key to success is DISRUPTION, finding ways to bend, manipulate and change content marketing so you do it just a little better.This post discusses how to become a disruptive content marketer.

Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference 2013: Key Takeaways on Search, UX ...
Huffington Post (blog)
As wonderful as all of this was, none of it would have happened if I wasn't attending an Internet marketing conference in Iceland.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

IM Conference Disrupts To Win
Great post from @ckanal about his trip to Iceland to attend the Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference. More than a boondoggle Craig actually proves my favorite adivce - Why Your Intenrt Marketing Must DISRUPT To Win.

Craig disrupted by going to Iceland for an Internet conference. Here is my favorite confirming quote from his excellent article:

"One of the best pieces of advice from the entire conference came from Elísabet Grétarsdóttir, who led global marketing for the popular social game EVE Online and is now Head of Marketing for Arion Bank in Iceland.

She said make sure you're switching things up often and trying new things, alluding to a popular saying, "Only the dead fishes swim with the stream." The biggest success happens "when you're willing to change and think differently."

Lots of other great and disruptive ideas here. Well done Craig. Next time you head to Iceland can I tag along? Very cool (sorry :).
