Insight on Business with Michael Libbie is our daily (Monday - Thursday) romp into the world of advertising, marketing and consumer trends. Each day we bring you news and tips to help any size business better understand the maze of marketing as we share experiences from over 35 years in the advertising industry. You'll find us at WebcastOne LIVE where you can take part in the adventure by using the chat. We also monitor Twitter: @MichaelLibbie before during and after the show.
On the show today we visited with Candace Karu about the real ROI of Social Media. More links below the video.
So, what are the chances that I would have met Candace Karu, learned about Cabot Cheese and had this visit if it were not for Social Media and in this case Twitter. Business demands to know about the ROI before they dive into using SM for marketing. Our advice has always been, "Just do it!". But with a plan.
In another story based on Social Media, I can now share what happened between our business and Enterprise Rental. It started out with a near flawless rental pick up at the end of June that turned into a mix-up but ended yesterday to the satisfaction of us...and Enterprise. Along the way...Social Media played a big role. I'll give you the details this is something you don't want to miss. Talk about ROI.
Those stories and more:
The Wall Street Journal writes that the ouster of BP CEO, Tony Hayward, is a fine example of the "laudable culture of accountability that has taken root in the U.S. private sector" and suggests that such a culture should be, but is not, present in Congress. I don't do politics...but before The Journal breaks their arm patting the private sector, and themselves, on the back...two words: Goldman - Sachs. I'll share some thoughts.
It's a very long article so if you want to read the entire piece here is a link to Brand Building, Beyond Marketing by Nicholas Ind and Majiken Schultz in Strategy & Business. I'll visit with you about the FIVE TIPS your business needs to think about as we shift from a branding experience based only on "marketing communications" to branding by engaging the entire company in all departments. Good stuff.
