Lecture 3 marketing in practice
- 2. recap Branding is everywhere! We exist in increasingly complex media landscape Can you deconstruct a media organisation’s ‘assets’ Publishers are diversifying their revenue streams Web 2.0 and the interactive audience
- 3. Reading: Key themes Meerman: Old methods of marketing (normally top-down) and operated through old communication structures are coming to an end Meerman: Social media and digital platforms allow companies and organisations to form relationships with their customers and potential customers Zyman: A marketing strategy is key, and underpinning this strategy should be ‘sales’. Sales, for Zyman, are everything Zyman: Some marketers have lost focus from sales, and are more interested in creating a brand, brand identity and advertising campaigns Zyman: Marketers need to be exceptionally conscious of profit and loss data, and track the success of marketing campaigns Sylvie: Market research and audience understanding is key: consider pre-campaign research and establish what opportunities are present in your marketplace. Sylvie: Marketers need to understand what their own organisations are capable of – resource/content/reach and audience opportunities Sylvie: Media managers should be aware of market opportunities and threats All: the media landscape is in constant flux

- 5. History of marketing and the changing platform
- 6. ‚Old Marketing‛ – Meerman (and a little bit of Zyman) Companies court key press publications and hierarchical information structures Journalists control the dialogue with the audience, so companies create dialogues with journalists Ad agencies control overall output/engagement Wait for ‘news’ to happen Emphasis is on creating a powerful brand/sub brands No way to monitor effectiveness of your advertising or other marketing elements
- 7. The concept of the Gatekeeper Media organisations generally took the role of ‘gatekeeper’ Controlled information flow: time and place Published responses to that flow Torn priorities: Readers Shareholders Editorial judgement
- 8. The New Way: What’s changed?
- 9. Meerman’s ‘New Rules’: avoid the gatekeepers Use social media tools to target your audience (wherever they may be) Remember: the range of social media platforms you have access to Difference ‘market segments’ use different social media platforms The tone of the message should match your a) audience and b) platform Engage with your customers using these tools: start a conversation with them Write blogs to transmit ideas and information Use other ‘platforms’ to reach your audience Become a ‘thought leader’ via blogs and other online methods Work the web: use search engines to your advantage: SEO Advertising and organic search Engage with multimedia: video, text, audio: create an experience for your users (snowfall, firestorm, slideshows, games etc) Get people on their mobiles – apps
- 11. Demographics and market segmentation “Looking after your ABCs” – the NRS social grades The new demographic? the changing nature of society. What are the factors behind this? What demographic are we? Market segmentation Geographic segmentation Behavioural segmentation Segmentation by occasions Segmentation by benefits
- 12. ‚Psychographics‛ Outlines a market segment’s ‘attitudes’ and ‘tastes’ Activity, Interest, Opinion Attitudes Values Behaviour Analysts suggest these encompass the reasons behind ‘why’ people engage with a product/service Sylvie: “Psychographics describe lifestyle, culture and values. The importance of demographics already has been outlined, but media managers also need to understand the audience’s psychographics…”
- 13. Market analysis: Methods to aid understanding Background industry research Audience surveys and questionnaires Existing products Gaps in the market Successful products Unsuccessful projects Ask a range of people about existing products, potential products, new products Long-form, in-depth interviews to provide insights Comprehensive and detailed questioning can aid market research and present unexpected insights

- 16. Marketing: Knowing your company/organisation Can a marketing ‘plan’ be sustained within the company? Some questions that might need to be asked?
