It's All About StoryTelling

The document discusses how marketers need to adapt to changing consumer behaviors and the shifting media landscape. It notes that traditional advertising methods like billboards, print, radio, and TV are becoming less effective at capturing consumer attention. It argues that social media platforms require a different approach than mass broadcasting, instead emphasizing engaging in two-way conversations. The key is understanding each platform's psychology and learning to storytell natively on each one. Marketers who do not adapt risk going out of business, as smarter competitors implement more effective strategies tuned to the current media environment.

I wake up every morning upset about
one core thing:

The reason I was able to
be so successful at
The Wine Library wasn’t
my charisma…

It wasn’t my good looks.
(ok, maybe a little)

It was based on the fact that I
understood where the consumer
was in 1996…

I’m passionate about the ways we get
stuck as marketers:

Marketers spend millions on:

Billboards

Direct mail

Print

WHY?

Radio

TV

Many of these are collapsing in terms of
getting the attention of the user.

A. Didn’t fast-forward through
a commercial

Then email me at
gary@vaynermedia.com
and tell me about it.
(Because I bet you can’t)

you don’t seriously believe that
billboards are worth as much now as
they were pre-cellphones, right?

Same is true for Email
(which was Wine Library’s foundation, I might add)

If you’re reading this, and you work
in email marketing…

I want you to email me and tell me the
last time you had a click-thru rate

of over 28%*
(gary@vaynermedia)

(because I bet you can’t)
*if you have a list of over 100k

The value proposition just isn’t the
same as it used to be.

And it’s because of (sorry to say)
people like me

There was a day when you were super
excited to buy $40 of sushi for
$20 on Groupon.

*

But these days you mark all that
shit as

before it even hits your inbox

*

because you’ve been getting blasted
at scale for the last three years.

*

What do you do when the ROI in 2013 for
TV, Billboards, and Email sucks in
comparison to 2004, 1994, or 1984???

*

Every single marketer out there is a

STORYTELLER

*

It is our job to tell our

value proposition

*

to customers along the path of purchase.

*

ﬁrst you need the ATTENTION of the
customer to even get that chance.

*

And their attention is shifting, my friends,
and it is shifting FAST.

*

Our society is experiencing ADD at scale,
which means

*

They are by far the most valuable
resources in the game.

*

Most marketers treat social media as a
“distribution channel,”

*

as just another way to blast you with
the same shit.

*

They are missing the fact that social
networks are the ﬁrst platforms ever that
are actually a two-way conversation.

*

Just look at Twitter and how it is the
cocktail party of the internet.

*

Now what makes you a good
cocktail party guest?

*

Is it talking about yourself for
95% of the time?

*

I don’t know what kind of cocktail
parties you go to… but I really, really,
really hope your answer is

“NO.”
*

Look at my
Twitter account,
@GaryVee.
Literally 90% of
my tweets are
engaging with
other users.
*

the way to
truly succeed and
provide value…

*

is to learn to natively
storytell on each platform.

*

Respect the psychology of what makes a
Facebook user

*

and more diﬀerent still from
an Instagram user.

*

Can you understand WHY people ﬁnd
value in platforms?

*

Because I promise you, those who don’t
learn how to tell their stories on
today’s platforms are the ones who
will go out of business.
*

And much smarter, richer, more wellsupported people than you have been put
out of business for that very reason
*

Because they refuse to play like
the year that it is, 2014
*

It goes on and on, and I could make an
entire book…

*

…giving you tactical
advice for how to
create the best
micro-content…

Engagement Vs Interruption

engagementvsinterruption

One-way marketing (interruption) is often more effective than two-way marketing (engagement) for large brands communicating with significant numbers of people. While two-way marketing aims to directly involve consumers, people generally do not care much about brands and are less likely to actively engage or participate. Examples show that memorable one-way ads like the Cadbury Gorilla commercial can be more effective at reaching large audiences with positive brand messaging than two-way social media campaigns, which typically see very low rates of actual consumer engagement. The most robust case studies continue to show traditional one-way marketing performing well compared to two-way approaches.

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to others

Jeroen van Geel

Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them. We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved! Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to. In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.

Some truth around social media marketing

Richard Meyer

1. The document questions the hype around social media marketing, noting that only a small percentage of Facebook users who like a page actually engage with it. 2. It argues that brands should focus on understanding customers better than customers understand themselves, and focus on the "moment of truth" interactions that influence purchase decisions. 3. The key is determining whether social media is actually where customers want to engage with a brand or if the brand's website and other touchpoints are more important, and ensuring marketing efforts are fully integrated across channels.

How To Monetize Social Media

Jose Gonzalez

This document outlines 3 ways to monetize social media without upsetting followers. The first is through pre-affiliate videos where the marketer creates short educational videos about products and includes affiliate links. The second is through micro-review sites where the marketer objectively reviews multiple products and includes affiliate links for all. The third is through webinars and teleseminars where the marketer promotes existing webinars in exchange for a percentage of sales. The key is to provide value to followers through educational content and avoid direct sales pitches.

The second way is to create micro-review sites that objectively review various products, including ones that pay commissions. The third way discussed is to create online courses and membership sites providing value to followers. The key is to "wrap" promotions in helpful content so followers don't feel like they are being sold to directly.

The Arrogance of Ignorance - Part 2 - Why Macy's and Other Retailers Have Bec...

Napier Marketing Group, LLC.

Macy's is closing 68 more stores and laying off over 10,000 employees as brick-and-mortar retailers struggle. The author argues that retailers are proving the theory of insanity - that doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results will lead to irrelevance. Retailers are not adapting to changes in consumer preferences and the rise of online shopping. To remain relevant, retailers must have a strong online presence with complete product listings, content like videos, and social media engagement, rather than relying solely on physical stores. Failure to adapt means becoming irrelevant as consumers increasingly shop online.

Y'all Connect

The document discusses how marketing has shifted from traditional methods like TV, radio, and print ads to social media storytelling. It notes that visual content performs much better on social media than text. The key is for marketers to learn how to tell stories and showcase their brand's authentic human side on each social platform. Stories should provide value to customers and lead them toward a purchase. Those who refuse to adapt their marketing for social media will fall behind as many major businesses have already made this shift.

It provides examples of companies and organizations that have built trust by showing their humanity and processes, such as government websites openly sharing code on GitHub, Icelandic tourism campaigns run by locals on social media, and insurance companies directly interacting with customers on Twitter through named representatives. Authenticity comes from having a story, provenance, and avoiding facelessness, while trust develops over time through quality products, services, and interactions that feel genuine.

But it wasn’t always like this. In fact... Just a few years back, I wasn’t even a “blip” on the radar of these people who I now consider to be close friends. I was just an ordinary guy making a living as a door-to-door salesman. Until one day, I just couldn’t do it anymore. I FELT LIKE THERE WAS THIS GIANT HOLE INSIDE OF ME... LIKE I WAS COMPLETELYMISSING THE THING I WASPUT ON THIS EARTH TO DO But I knew I needed to 몭nd what that thing was. So my wife graciously decided to go back to work... And I padded our bank account with money we made from a real-estate investment... Which bought me some time to focus on personal development for a while. That’s when I stumbled on the unique tool that some of the world’s most successful business leaders and in몭uencers use to expand their platform... build their audience... and open up several streams of revenue all at once. 11 12Next Thing I Knew I Was On A Plane To Puerto Rico With A Personal Invitation To His Mansion I spent the weekend learningeverything I could from him...

HE TOLD ME HE BUILT HIS DREAM LIFE THROUGH HIS PODCAST...And that I could do the same thing if I go about it the right way. So before I left, John and I worked on a podcasting strategy that changed my life forever... Which I now refer to as my “connection method.” Once my plane landed back in Los Angeles, I hit the ground running... And used the connection method to create my Build Your Network podcast that’s now one of the most listened to entrepreneurship podcasts on iTunes. Which has generated me hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue... Plus— starting this podcast single-handedly created connections, status and recognition that I didn’t think possible before. 13Best of all — it only took me a few months to reap the bene몭ts...

And people are beginning to prefer listening to podcasts over reading blog posts, listening to the radio, and even watching television. Instead they’re binge listening to podcasts that educate them, entertain them, inspire them and give them a sense of loyalty and excitement.
