Social Media Tipping Point Is Behind Us...Maybe @Lays Tweet For Swag

Social Media Tipping Point Is Behind Us: Lays Puts Tweet For Swag on  Bags of Chips & Needs Curagami Because ....
Yesterday I noticed a bright red banner… - Martin W. Smith - Google+
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

We know Social Media is a CONVERSATION. One of my most popular @HaikuDecks is It's The Conversation Stupid (http://shar.es/MmhkM). At first I took Lays "Tweet For Swag" campaign as a sign we are beyond the social media tipping point.

Now, almost an hour after 4 @Lays tweets with no response I think maybe not so much. As I noted in this G+ post maybe the day BIG BRANDS wake up and listen more than they talk is the 7th sign and the end of the world is moments away. Let's hope NOT.

I noted our Triangle Startup Factory funded startup Curagami (http://www.curagami.com) could help and YES that's a tad self serving, but Big Brands think they are creating community today. Actually they wouldn't recognize a true online community if it walked up and introduced itself.

"We sell chips," woiuld surely be their retort. We KNOW THAT and would like to interact with you Mr. Frito or Mr. Lays...you truly and honestly IN or are you just trying to stuff more chips down our throat? BBQ if you are stuffing :).

Downloading the Vocus paper Monitoring The Social Media Conversation: From Facebook to Twitter via CIO Whie Papers is a pain. The paper helps explain what Curagami is all about. The paper has a PR slant, but its an important read for any and all Internet marketers: The prevalence of social media has not just grown …
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Many have asked what Curagami DOES? This post builds on an excellent Vocus post about monitoring the social media conversation to share how Curagami creates a tiny advantage that creates scale that creates a tiny advantage and so on to infinity :).

Conversations Are The New Money & Here's The New Money Math - via @Curagami

Conversations Are The New Money & Here's The New Money Math - via @Curagami | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Every online transaction started with a conversation and that why conversations are the new money and the rocket fuel creating the New Ecommerce Revolution.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

This post shares a favorite metrics approach - model by isolating and assigning. I like to create models by marketing channel that assigns 100% of costs and sales in order to defeat the attribution monster.

The attribution monster exists because the web is so dynamic knowing who did what and why is difficult. Many things go into moving customers from visitors to buyers so accurate attribution is a myth.

Instead of trying to make web numbers make 2 + 2 = 4 sense I suggest isolating and assigning and then comparing. When you isolate and assign and then compare you see the FABRIC of the tapestry we lucky few Internet marketers weave.

Instead of attempting to assign attribution, something akin to putting a scarf on a raging bull, I like to make attribution moot by modeling around it (explained more deeply in the linked post).

New Social Media War Room: It's The Conversation, Stupid via @HaikuDeck

New Social Media War Room: It's The Conversation, Stupid via @HaikuDeck | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Social Media It's The Conversation, Stupid is about the new rules of branding being created by a social world. If the old War Room during the Clinton presidential campaign's motto was, "It's the ECONOMY Stupid" then the new Social Media War Room's motto is, "Social Media: It's The Conversation Stupid".

As we "talk amongst ourselves" more and more we become increasingly platform agnostic. The conversation is the brand. The conversation is the currency and THAT is a huge shift. A shift creating openings for "clean slate" brands to step in and call "trusted brands" old, stale and not relevant.

Want to appear "not relevant" use social media to PUSH, don't listen or respond and never curate or attribute kudos to followers. This new Haiku Deck discusses the new rules of branding in a social world.

What "new rules of branding" did we miss? Share your experience, thoughts and ideas and we will curate into the deck.
