  Re-envisioning customer value
  By Economist Intelligence Unit, SAS
 
  The emergence of social media has transformed the potential for companies to build deep and profi table relationships with their most valuable customers. However, by and large, the emphasis remains on the potential. Many organisations have experimented with new forms of customer engagement. They have increased sales, reduced service costs and improved innovation. Yet few—if any—have moved out of an experimentation stage to implement the kind of enterprise strategy changes necessary to fully realise the business opportunities offered by the spread of social media.

  On Social Media, Technology, Culture and Consumers
  By Hartman Group
 
  Play, work, learning and consumption have converged in the spaces and practices of new social and mobile technologies. Millennials, Gen-Xs and Boomers—seemingly everyone has a Facebook presence. The more adventurous (or geeky) have also taken up Twitter, YouTube, Foursquare or Screener, with over 500 million active users on Facebook1 engaged in gathering an unimaginable number of friends. Smartphones and tablets are nearly ubiquitous. Friends, information, contacts, products and opportunities are but a few keystrokes away. Smart mobile technologies, now pervasive, are quite visible actors in all facets of social life, bringing new practices and experiences to consumers’ shopping, cooking and dining activities. If social media and smart technologies are seemly everywhere, why do companies and marketers so often miss the mark in building successful consumer relationships via these widely adopted tools and practices?

  By nielsen
 
  The average American today has more ways to watch video— whenever, however and wherever they choose.

  Selling Social to Sales and Beyond
  By DachisGroup
 
  One of the largest and most ambitious Enterprise 2.0 (e2.0) initiatives, the IBM case study exemplifies a number of components critical to success when rolling out an intra-enterprise social strategy. The most significant aspect of the IBM case is its scale: nearly 400K employees worldwide will ultimately be included in the social transformation. Second, there was a specific business purpose driving the effort in that IBM employees could better articulate social business strategy if they lived it themselves. Third, the initiative has executive support, as well as a dedicated worldwide team staffed to roll out the 2.0 initiative. Finally, with over three years invested in the effort, the IBM team has developed innovative ways to interact with its communities and share expertise. The team has also overcome some of the critical issues that arise from cultural disparities spanning IBM’s large global geographic footprint.

  The Rise of the Social Advertiser
  By pivot
 
  We are entering the beginning of the end of the destination web as we have known it. Consumers increasingly spend time in social networks and less in their email inboxes and visiting traditional websites. As such, brands continue to race to social media sites in the hopes of connecting with consumers when their attention is focused on conversations relevant to those brands. Part of the challenge however, is earning the attention of consumers not just once, but also building a relationship with them over time.

  The Power of Like - How Brands Reach and Influence Fans Through Social Media Marketing
  By comScore
 
  Social media has emerged over the past several years to redefine the digital media landscape and, in the process, has changed the way we think about the dissemination of marketing messages. In particular, Facebook has facilitated two unique consumer experiences of interest to brand marketers. First, the ability for consumers to identify brands of interest and connect with them has enabled sharing between brands and consumers in new ways: brands and their consumers can now create two-way relationships and share content, news, and feedback. Social media has also facilitated innovative ways of sharing information about brands between friends. Whether consumers are voicing their affinity for certain brands or their experiences with products and services, Facebook not only encourages this type of sharing but can also accelerate its reach and virality.

  Speaking Middle English
  By BritainThinks
 
  At BritainThinks we believe that it's essential to understand the context in which companies, brands and other organisations operate. We therefore do a great deal of our own research to keep abreast of the constantly changing environment. We have a qualitative panel that we are regularly in touch with and we carry out large projects from time to time to look at some of the big questions of the day. Speaking Middle English is the first of those projects. With the concept of the 'squeezed middle’ high on the media agenda, and our own research showing that peoples’ class perceptions have shifted massively in recent years, we thought it was time to look again at people who define themselves as Middle Class…

  Conversational Capital - How to Create Stuff People Love to Talk About
  By Sid Lee
 
  Conversational Capital is a far-reaching philosophy that redefines our collective understanding of consumption as more than an empty or hollow experience. Conversational Capital compels marketers and consumers alike to see consumption as an identity-shaping process; a process that is a natural outgrowth of our innate human desire to discover, be stimulated, and indeed to talk.

  The New Digital American Family: Understanding family dynamics, media and purchasing behavior trends
  By Nielson
 
  Nielsen Research looks at The New Digital American Family, which has arrived at a demographic inflection point that demands marketers adapt and adopt new technologies for communicating with the consumer. The average media-consuming household in the United States is getting smaller, growing more slowly and becoming more ethnically diverse than at any point in history. Diversity in all its dimensions defines the emerging American Family archetype, with no single cultural, social, demographic, economic or political point of view dominating the landscape. This report looks at ethnic shifts, financial and educational divides, marital status and other factors influencing the state of the New Digital American Family.
