How Social Media changes Marketing

1950’s Advertising One way. Focus on brand marketing. Today, commercials considered akin to propaganda.

Targeted marketing One way. Direct mail, drip email marketing campaigns still considered advertising.

Search engine marketing Current focus of most online marketing tactics.

Expertise marketing Blogs provide professional credibility

Community engagement Provide services to your community

Being ubiquitous across the social media

Locals find your community service across a variety of platforms. You’re everywhere!

The future of marketing


Community Engagement Basics

Build a brand that serves your community, not a brand built around publicizing yourself


The community will gravitate towards services that help them, not billboards, ads or spam

Everybody wants real time community news


Building online local media resources today is like publishing a local newspaper 50 years ago


You’re recognized as providing a community service


How does your community find you when you’re not “pushing” your marketing message?


Before social media, the main way to tell the community what you did was by advertising


Now, the social media makes everybody transparent.

People know you by your online profile(s)


Advertising, and push marketing is increasingly being perceived as self promoting and obnoxious


Solution:

Brand yourself to the community.. not as you but through your community service!

Being ubiquitous works just like advertising did twenty years ago

It’s all about branding

You stay TOP OF MIND because… you’re everywhere


You become positioned as your local community media resource… with the recognition and influence associated with being the media


Sonoma Breaking News.com is an example of this new branding paradigm


Developing a local media resource is like publishing a local newspaper.
