In 2015 we asked 5000 B2B and B2C marketers a big question:
“What is the biggest problem marketers face?”
PATH TO PURPOSE Consumers have more choice than ever. As a brand you must support them in their passions and purposes. Terms as loyalty and trust are essential in their quest for self-enrichment.
- Google Think, Path to Purpose
ACTIVE DISCOVERYDiscovery is extremely powerful for marketers to understand because it allows us to fulfil a desired purpose of the consumer. Consider how much we like to discover.
TOP 7 SITE ARE: 1. Google 2. Facebook3. YouTube4. Baidu5. Yahoo6. Amazon7. Wikipedia- Alexa research 2015
PASSIVE DISCOVERY Passive discovery is the secondary action of search. It’s the reason we “surf” in the first place. We are passively seeking an experience, and trust the things we find on our own. Discovering something new is our purpose.
- Alexa research 2015
SELF DISCOVERY = TRUST The modern consumers build trust in a new way. They have found the value of the instant access of the internet and placed a high value on self discovery. THEY EVEN BLOCK YOUR ADS!Learn how to help aid in their discovery and you will gain their trust.
HEURISTIC BEHAVIORSheu·ris·tic: Enabling a person to discover or learn something for themselves.
A consumer can determine if there is value in a web experience with in 1/20 of a second. If it is not valuable then they leave. On average a person only stays on 1,7 pages of a website.
- Cliff Seal 2015
INFINITE NOISEYankelovich, a market research firm, estimates a consumer sees 5000 ads per day, not including social media content.
By 2020 there will be 7 connected devices for every person on earth. Each device can create, and filter the noise using algorithms. If we don’t give our mass media a strong personal twist, we can’t reach consumers anymore.
- Gartner Research 2015
AD BLOCKING 27% of Belgian consumers use ad blocking software. In the US this is 18%. It is also estimated this number will double in 2016.Globally there are 185 million global users of ad blocking software.
- Pagefair and Adobe, 2015

OVERLOAD CAN OVERCOME BYREAL BEAUTYOur culture has succumbed to information overload, but our senses still yearn to be stimulated.
What happens to real meaning in an age of digital excess? Technology has developed around us at such a break-neck pace that few have had a chance to catch their breath. We want what’s real or at least, what feels real.
Speed, agility and topicality will be key to overcoming info overload

CONSUMER REVIEWS People will google everything when they’re about to buy a new product. Brands must be consistent on every channel, like review blogs.
If you lie about quality or service, they will find out and it will cost way more money than you spend on convincing them.

Whatever the vacancy is about
The luxury industry is one of the most competitive in the world, and social media is the newest battleground to develop loyalty
and brand heritage.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
The most important element for luxury brands on social media seems to be their storytelling abilities when it comes to their products and brand heritage, rather than the number of social media posts.
The future belongs to those who understand what is possible and use modern media to build trusted relationships and valued experiences. Advertising alone will not get us there!
