I'm writing this from the airport in Tokyo waiting for my flight back to Newark. First, here is a quick video with some thoughts as I recorded them yesterday. <embed src="http://blip.tv/play/mVrboHYA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="470" height="355" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> The IDG conference was pretty incredible. Hopefully you have had a chance to read the posts from Tuesday and Wednesday to see what I mean. I consistently told the organizers that they had created a conference that was on par with any I have been to in the US. Between the conference and having the opportunity to spend time with the Fleishman team in our Seoul office I noticed a number of similarities to the US as well as some differences. Some Similarities: <ul> <li>The financial crisis is global and is on the top of everyone's mind <li>Everyone gets that social media is a huge growth area <li>Everyone is confused as to how to measure it effectively <li>Companies are trying to find the balance between offline and online media and are trying to break down marketing silos <li>Video and mobile are exploding across the globe, but have to be used strategically </ul> Some Differences: <ul> <li>Strong cultural differences in Korea impact everything <li>Most US companies fail in Korea (Google has around 1% market share in search here) because they localize, but don't fully immerse themselves in the culture <li>People demand fast service both on and off line <li>Koreans are very tech savvy, highly connected and love to meet in person <li>I found people very hesitant to ask questions in presentations <li>Mobile is ahead as far as services and quality, but devices are extremely expensive here (telecom companies control the pricing and keep it high) </ul> Best thinking: <ul> <li>Bruce Haines from Cheil Worldwide had a number of gems including "banning the word digital" because it's all marketing. He also stressed the need to think across channels and formats to have the most impact, breaking down silos and develop the best message(s) tailored to the right audience. <li>Gerry Gouy from MTV was great on and off stage. His view from the entertainment side where he is seeing advertisers spend more money across fewer channels was key. He also mentioned that mobile is still not working at this point and most advertisers are looking to reach a 25-34 year old sweet spot through TV and online. </ul> Here is the Slideshare of the keynote address I gave. I'll be adding audio to this over the next couple of days. <object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=idgkeynotefuture-of-marketing-1227061256160752-9&stripped_title=idg-next-generation-marketing-keynote-seoul-korea-presentation" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=idgkeynotefuture-of-marketing-1227061256160752-9&stripped_title=idg-next-generation-marketing-keynote-seoul-korea-presentation" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>  Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/advertising" rel="tag">advertising</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/branding" rel="tag">branding</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/marketing" rel="tag">marketing</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Matt%20Dickman" rel="tag">Matt Dickman</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social%20media" rel="tag">social media</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social%20networks" rel="tag">social networks</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Techno//Marketer" rel="tag">Techno//Marketer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/technology" rel="tag">technology</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/trends" rel="tag">trends</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/web2.0" rel="tag">web2.0</a> </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=8ObqN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=8ObqN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=vZ8fN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=vZ8fN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=5yzbN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=5yzbN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=ACbGn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=ACbGn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=ahuun"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=ahuun" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=kEQGN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=kEQGN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=DNSuN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=DNSuN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=6GDcn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=6GDcn" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MDickmanBlog/~4/460411365" height="1" width="1"/> http://technomarketer.typepad.com/technomarketer/2008/11/wrap-up-and-tho.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-58706566 2008-11-19T00:25:41-05:00 2008-11-19T00:26:11-05:00 Sean presented "It's all about video" to the IDG Next Generation Marketing conference.

The presentation focused on a case study for Samsung's <a href="http://www.anycall.com/haptic">HAPTIC</a> device. The Haptic looks very similar to the iPhone, but the operating system is unique. Here is a video overview of the phone's functionality: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WIkBbWsa_dc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WIkBbWsa_dc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <ul> <li>Focus of the campaign was on brand experience and contagion <li>The Haptic phone launch is very similar to the iPhone (full screen touch) <li>Phone launched with a premium image/brand and technical image <li>"first is better than better" - Samsung was not the first mover in this space <li>The touch sensor provides feedback <li>Japanese book "HAPTIC" gave the team feedback on how to approach marketing the device <li>Had to explain the haptic term through many media outlets in a way people could understand <li>Launch show made to mirror Steve Jobs keynote addresses, invited power bloggers <li>Tagline "touch and it will react" driven through ads <li>Use of celebrity to drive the "touch" focal point in ads, online, screen saver <li>Haptic blog helped to engage users, also reached out to power bloggers to get their unique and personal experiences <li> </ul> Samsung also created a new ad where a building transforms in to the phone. The gist of the conversation is the guy with the phone says that his phone can become anything he wants. The other guy asks him to prove it by making the building transform. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VrF5d9TfFr8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VrF5d9TfFr8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>  Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/marketing" rel="tag">marketing</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Matt%20Dickman" rel="tag">Matt Dickman</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social%20media" rel="tag">social media</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/strategy" rel="tag">strategy</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Techno//Marketer" rel="tag">Techno//Marketer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/trends" rel="tag">trends</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/samsung%20haptic" rel="tag">samsung haptic</a> </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=np8cN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=np8cN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=o2PGN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=o2PGN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=AweuN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=AweuN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=A4dfn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=A4dfn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=9pOHn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=9pOHn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=cPmyN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=cPmyN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=hG63N"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=hG63N" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=raT3n"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=raT3n" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MDickmanBlog/~4/457905426" height="1" width="1"/> http://technomarketer.typepad.com/technomarketer/2008/11/idg-next-gene-8.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-58701566 2008-11-18T21:36:38-05:00 2008-11-18T21:36:43-05:00 Byung spoke on the topic of having conversations with users in the social web.

He has a long history of working with Korea's top social networking sites. His views are tempered by this experience. Key takeaways: <ul> <li>Korean social networks are falling behind in the global view despite having a head start and being highly connected <li>Gaming is the best example of Korean companies having success overseas <li>User experience is not differentiated in Korean social networks (logo color is the only difference) <li>Competition is growing exponentially and cost is scaling as well <li>Success in Korea (10M reach) is the same as failure in the US (10M reach) so case studies here are easy to find from overseas <li>Social network framework - Content, context, user <li>Tactics see varying degrees of success because of these three factors and their presence/lack of presence <li>Focus on the users is the overall key <li>Experience-driven design is an important trend where developers and users are the same mix - this is lacking in Korea <li>The power of emotions play a key role in social web marketing <li>The return on the investment for social networks in Korea took around 4 years to achieve positive numbers <li>Growth of social marketing must involve the end user through the process <li>The constructs of social networks are: purpose, identity, reputation, governance, communication, groups <li>This mirrors the offline operation of society <li>Content providers are now business partners - the line is blurring (ex. Google ad sense) <li>The Apple model, where they develop the platform and the community develops the applications, is the future <li>Metrics are crucial to tracking actions within a social network - look at visitors -> subscribers -> purchasers <li>Naver, Daum and Cyworld have been around and are not evolving at the rate of US social networks <li>Potential for small business is huge <li>Must look at the users and the market/market potential to break in to a new market (why switch to a new site when you are already established someplace else?) <li>Fewer companies are trying to create new spaces instead they are leveraging existing locations <li> </ul>  Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/branding" rel="tag">branding</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/marketing" rel="tag">marketing</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Matt%20Dickman" rel="tag">Matt Dickman</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social%20media" rel="tag">social media</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social%20networks" rel="tag">social networks</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Techno//Marketer" rel="tag">Techno//Marketer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/web2.0" rel="tag">web2.0</a> </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=CMt2N"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=CMt2N" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=Jdp9N"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=Jdp9N" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=NcB9N"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=NcB9N" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=I064n"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=I064n" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=eqo7n"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=eqo7n" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=lNJYN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=lNJYN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=ZobKN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=ZobKN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=ezjyn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=ezjyn" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MDickmanBlog/~4/457883578" height="1" width="1"/> http://technomarketer.typepad.com/technomarketer/2008/11/idg-next-gene-7.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-58699456 2008-11-18T20:26:57-05:00 2008-11-19T00:02:40-05:00 Sung Lee is the VP of Operations for MySpace in Asia.

He focused on product design, evolution and innovation. Internal and external forces help companies innovate. Key takeaways: <ul> <li>Customer research in Web 2.0 is the focus of Chang's presentation <li>Creation of new products requires creative customer involvement <li>Internal customers - inner creative staff and researchers <li>External customers - expert customers and other business experts <li>This helps companies break inertia and myopia internally and to use external inertia <li>Look at current and customer competitors <li>Find competitive advantages in design, quality, ads, etc. <li>Trendspotting is necessary - possibly looking at restrictions and overcoming them <li>Cross-pollinating teams will help drive new ideation for products <li>Involving the right outside parties can help lead to more innovation where not expected - need to identify the lead users <li>Experts in other industries can help find new insights that apply <li>Darwin's theory of evolution was spawned from diversity and this is what is happening in technology today - more options let us see this evolution <li>The milk industry shows us the evolution of product/package design - calcium milk, skim, coffee creamer, etc. </ul> Here is an example Chang mentioned from Japan for a new drink called White Coffee from Kirin (better know for their beer brewing in the US). This shifts the consumer from traditional views of coffee/packaging. It could work or backfire. <img src="http://technomarketer.typepad.com/technomarketer//2D0DABC2-1B80-49B3-B7A1-796F43E100D2.jpg" alt="2D0DABC2-1B80-49B3-B7A1-796F43E100D2.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="220"></div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=KnNkN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=KnNkN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=G0TvN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=G0TvN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=Nk2fN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=Nk2fN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=E5xpn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=E5xpn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=Oegkn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=Oegkn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=rCiZN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=rCiZN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=F2WsN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=F2WsN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=pXxpn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=pXxpn" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MDickmanBlog/~4/456899166" height="1" width="1"/> http://technomarketer.typepad.com/technomarketer/2008/11/idg-next-gene-5.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-58657336 2008-11-18T01:55:36-05:00 2008-11-18T01:55:41-05:00 Jung-Yul is the CEO of TNS Korea.

His talk focused on finding the channels that are most effective for marketers to reach their customers. His firm has some interesting measurement methods and constructs for marketers. Key takeaways: <ul> <li>Purpose of marketing comms - persuade, create a higher brand experience <li>Experience/encounters are made up of consumers (who), content (what), contact (how) <li>Fragmentation is a challenge, new mediums are popping up, more selective consumers <li>Questions for marketers are which points to use, how to spend the budget, how to optimize relationships <li>Companies are imitating, experimenting, etc. to find what works <li>Global economy is impacting marketing budgets and year-over-year budgets <li>ROI measurement is lacking across channels <li>Need four items to choose the right channel 1) market contacts, 2) channel clout factor [level of influence of each customer], 3) brand experience points and 4) brand experience share <li>Market contacts - mass media, POS, one-to-one, indirect, sponsorships create 35 possible options <li>Channel clout factor (CCF) - which are most informative, make brand look appealing, rank the 10 most important in daily life = CCF <li>BES/BEP are derived by looking at the clout of each channel compared to the brand <li>Look at most influential channel for a product category - rank from most to least <li>In a credit card example in Korea, TV had the most influence followed by a point of sale solution <li>The influence varies with each product and situation <li>The challenge is to align channel spending with brand experience for that channel <li>Shift viewpoint to that of the customer when viewing each channel <li>Have to look at what the competition is doing to make competitive decisions </ul>  Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/advertising" rel="tag">advertising</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/branding" rel="tag">branding</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/marketing" rel="tag">marketing</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Matt%20Dickman" rel="tag">Matt Dickman</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Techno//Marketer" rel="tag">Techno//Marketer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/trends" rel="tag">trends</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/measurement" rel="tag">measurement</a> </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=lS6ZN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=lS6ZN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=YwB6N"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=YwB6N" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=B5SvN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=B5SvN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=GlnDn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=GlnDn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=DVcan"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=DVcan" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=qCPqN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=qCPqN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=2lJUN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=2lJUN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?a=FezKn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MDickmanBlog?i=FezKn" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MDickmanBlog/~4/456858335" height="1" width="1"/> http://technomarketer.typepad.com/technomarketer/2008/11/idg-next-gene-4.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-58656404 2008-11-18T01:01:36-05:00 2008-11-18T01:01:45-05:00 Jessica Kim is the CEO of Shout Communications and is talking about word of mouth marketing in the Web 2.0 era.
