  By SOCIALFISH & AVECTRA
 
  This is the second white paper in a series on Social Customer Relationship Management (Social CRM) for Associations.

  The 2011 Mid-Year Performance Review: The Top 100 Brands
  By CATALINA
 
  How are leading CPG brands performing in today’s difficult economy? The answer is mixed. Our data shows that, as a group, the Top 100 Brands within the Catalina Network grew only slightly during a 52-week period ending mid-year 2011. Our findings also show that revenues could have increased far more significantly had brands held onto their loyal consumers. For the average brand, the lost opportunity due to loyalty declines and defections was nearly four times greater than its growth in sales.

  Branded Entertainment: Brand Repair or Preventive Maintenance?
  By O2 Media
 
  The success of any brand does not always represent its quality, nor does it mean that rivals are always inferior to their successors. It appears, now more than ever, that proper promotion coupled with a good strategy-one that aligns with the emotions of a modern audience-is the key to success.

  Nation Branding - The Mega-Event Debate
  By Lee Changzhi
 
  In recent years, marketers have coined the term ‘Nation Branding’ as an attempt to position countries in a new light, in order to attract perceived financial investments from abroad, revitalize local economies and of course, create business opportunities for the advertising industry. They often use the phase ‘it will bring invaluable benefits.’ But we know, anytime someone uses the word ‘invaluable,’ they usually don’t understand how to measure it. This paper makes an attempt to measure the value of ‘National Branding’, and find out if in fact there is any substance to such an unqualifiable topic. When marketers talk about how to quantify a nation’s brand, a common expression would arise that the hosting of mega-events is the one-all fix-all solution. Marketers are not wrong in making that link.  After all, it was via this platform that countries from the United States to China have shown their supremacy in one way or another, and over the course of a brief but intense event, move international perception of their respective nations as the world tunes in through multiple media channels. There will be a look at both the pros and cons of the hosting of mega events and how it impacts nation building and branding.

  Promotion Commotion: A View Into the Needs and Setbacks of the Front Line
  By CMO Council
 
  Business is moving again. As new products are hitting shelves around the world, new promotions are not far behind to capture the attention, imagination, and most importantly, share of wallets of more choosy, cautious, and savvy customer. Marketers are rightfully hyper-focused on sales support and driving business, deploying new tools and consumables to be leveraged across field sales, in-store, and point of purchase environments. While CMOs typically develop the strategies used to reach an audience, according to front-line individuals in the fashion, beauty, and retail industries – the sales executives, field marketing managers, store managers, and merchandising leaders who must take these tools and execute them– marketing should be adjusted to the Marketing Supply Chain because they believe that while critical to sales success, the messages and materials are being wasted.

  The Practicalities of Vitrual Events
  By ON24
 
  In the three years since their inception, virtual events have demonstrated robust growth, with the market doubling from 2008 to 2009 and forecasted to continue at a compound annual growth rate of 56% through 2015, according to Market Research Media. Does this signify that virtual events are quickly becoming the next great apparatus in the marketer’s tool chest, or is this simply a product of the downed economy, as some suggest, filling the chasm until budgets and physical event attendances can return to their pre-recession heydays? And if they do have the capacity to stick around and stand on their own, where do virtual events fit in the mix, and how can they be used to marketers’ best advantage?

  Understanding and Managing the Risk of Change
  By Global Knowledge
 
  Change Management involves understanding and controlling the exposure to hazards such that overall risk to the business is handled in an efficient and effective manner. For example, if an organization were deploying a new desktop operating system across the enterprise, an effective Change Management process would understand the risks involved, assess the impact, and coordinate the change so impact to the business was minimized. Therefore, the intent of Change Management is to act as an enabler that provides a mechanism by which the business can quickly adapt and respond to changing conditions, without the negative consequences that are often associated with hasty action.

  A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Branded Entertainment
  By O2 Media
 
  Television advertising has certainly come a long way since the 1950’s. That’s when advertising agencies determined that the most effective way to reach consumers would be by creating shows that featured a single product or line of products from a single company. From this concept came television shows, including titles like “Kraft Television Theater,” “Colgate Comedy Hour,” and “Coke Time.” These television programs were typically produced by advertising agencies for their clients.

  Brand Influence Report - The The Cross Channel Metric for Marketing Impact
  By crowdtap
 
  In addition to the traditional outlets of TV, radio, print and out-of-home, we now have digital, social media, word-of-mouth, mobile and countless variations on each of these. The staid metrics of reach and impressions simply lack the same clarity they once had when spread across a now endless myriad of channels and type of marketing activities. Smart marketers like Coca-Cola CMO, Joe Tripodi, see the need to move away from impressions as it no longer is a good barometer of the impact that marketers seek.
