The Man Who Convinced BMW to Rethink Social Media

The Man Who Convinced BMW to Rethink Social Media | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Steven Althaus's moment of digital truth came this past spring. BMW's global director of brand management stood in front of top management, telling them the automaker was about to use a drift mob to help market their new car, the M325i.


Five professional drivers were set to go behind the wheel of the M325is and drift--or drive at high speeds, hit the brakes, and turn the steering wheel to spin the car abruptly--around a traffic circle in Cape Town, South Africa. Their aim was to simulate a flash mob; a staged but seemingly spontaneous performance.


BMW executives fired off questions to Althaus that veered toward disbelief. “I presented the idea of a drift mob and they said: 'Is this really going to work?' I had to say, ‘I don’t know. Nobody’s done it before,’” Althaus recalls....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

BMW had a handle on traditional social media marketing, but it took a risk on a drift mob to reach new audiences. Here's how it paid off. Recommended reading for digital PR, social marketing and marketing pros  9/10

Seth Godin: Customer service? "Please, go away"

Seth Godin: Customer service? "Please, go away" | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
What if you had a big blue phone on your desk, and whenever you needed to, you could pick it up and instantly be connected with a smart and caring tech support expert (from your internet provider, your web host, the airline you use the most...)?

What are the chances you'd ever consider switching to a competitor that didn't offer similar service just to save a few bucks?

The current model of big company support is to throw undervalued, undertrained, underpowered human beings at perplexed customers, frustrating and disrespecting them enough that they shrug and give up.
Jeff Domansky's insight:

Customer service according to Seth Godin: "Please, go away." With competition off-line and online, that's simply no longer good enough. tomorrow's winning businesses will figure that out quickly.

The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy

The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

According to a study by Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs only 38% of B2B companies think their content marketing is effective. The same study also states that only 35% of the companies have a documented content marketing strategy.

My guess is that some of these companies do not even know whether they are effective or not. They cannot say what “effective” really is in regard to content marketing without goals, metrics etc. It would certainly help with effectiveness of content marketing to have a strategy at hand.

Here are 9 essential elements any content marketing strategy should include....

Susanna Gebauer shares valuable tips for effective content marketing strategies.

Desiree Mitcham's curator insight, December 8, 2014 11:55 PM

I thought a higher percentage of companies would think their content marketing is actually effective. I found it interesting that making companies don't set up goals or objectives and ways to measure their marketing.
