Social Marketing Framework (Part 5 of 5)

In the last part of our series on The Social Media Marketing Framework the focus is on market research. Brands have relied on market research since branding and marketing first became an actual “thing.” As individuals we do market research all the time. Any information we have about how the people around us will react to a statement, offer, or excuse can be invaluable and certainly help with whatever goal we are trying to reach.

Social Marketing Framework (Part 4 of 5)

Our series continues with the third part of our social marketing framework: How social media execution can help accelerate our message. Message distribution has always relied on sharing; in fact the entire concept of word of mouth marketing was based on peer-to-peer sharing. We also know that word of mouth is very powerful because it typically comes from a credible source. Credibility shrinks the sales cycle.

Social Marketing Framework (Part 3 of 5)

The Day of the Newspaper is Over (Part 1 of 2)

If you are judging by Chinese standards, the newspaper industry is now clearly under the old curse, “May you live in interesting times.” At no other point in modern history have the storied institutions been so in flux; their future so uncertain.

Social Marketing Framework – Part 1 of 5

There are many aspects of social marketing, social media, social tools, social EVERYTHING that we have been working hard to, shall I say, crystallize.
