Emperors of Chocolate & New SEO
How would my former employer M&M/Mars or our arch rival Hershey react to the new SEO? Not so great. This is how the door gets opened for "clean slate" brands savvy at social media and who don't have a hundred years of built up animosity.  

Could a new candy company focused on social media and the web survive? Might be a long time before the giants even knew an upstart was around. First company to become the Emperor of online CONTENT wins :). so YES a new candy company could disrupt the space.

Startups Can Jump The Class
If you are new to content marketing understanding how content marketing's four gears create a "virtual cycle" can help you jump the class. Content marketing's gears:

* Curation.
* Creation.
* Social.

* Ecommerce.

Clean Slate content marketers, thos so new to the game they have few preconceived ideas, can move to the head of the class by organizing their marketing differently and in alignment with ideas shared in Content Marketing's Gears.

Peas In A Pod: User Generated Content (UGC) & Brands

Peas In A Pod: User Generated Content (UGC) & Brands | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.socialsamosa.com - September 13, 2013 4:46 PM
Find out how brands these days are using user generated content to manifest business opportunities.

...

It has been observed, that 64% of people are ‘highly likely’ to purchase something that included their input, combined with the 92% of people who rely upon other individuals they know while making a purchase decision. Over the last five years, there has been a 35% increase in user generated content, and 70% people feel most loyal to brands that listen to them.

One of the most influential things I've read in several year sis David Edelman's

Branding In A Digital Age: Spending Money In All The Wrong Places
http://hbr.org/2010/12/branding-in-the-digital-age-youre-spending-your-money-in-all-the-wrong-places/
&

Aligning With The Consumer Decision Journey
http://hbr.org/web/ideas-in-practice/aligning-with-the-consumer-decision-journey

Read those two amazng posts and you see how the "consumer decision journey" has and is changing. Of course there is a HUGE opportunity for brands to cultivate, mine, curate and share User Generated Content if for no other reason than UGC is the least expensive and possibly most SEO valuable content.

Least expensive because advocates GIVE you their content. SEO Powerful because advocates make yoru pages come alive with comments, ideas, suggestions, contests, games and support. The sheer amount and diversity of UGC ontent can't be duplicated without spending millions.

Don't spend millions you don't need to spend (even if you have them). Tap the power of UGC and do what THEY tell, share, story and curate.

This is social media. Media is increasingly social. Companies will be more and more the receivers, no more issuers.
