do brands really
need agencies?
face forum, november 2009, london
setting
some of the
  context
with a few edited highlights from
our 2009 Tech Tribe report into
attitudes and behaviour of 18-25
            year olds
18-25 important
   not because
young adults are
 representative
   today… but
  because they
    are early
adopters and do
  represent the
     future…
some key themes from our
 tech tribe 2009 report
online is not just another channel – it represents the world that young
people live in

               just as we have started to get to grips with the ‘web’ so it
             changes from being a place that people go to a place that is
                                              all around us all of the time

contribution to social media still growing but
genuine content creation remains pretty stable

                                    Influence of inner (my friends) and
    rapid changes in attitudes          outer circle (the internet) on
      and behaviour due to              purchase continues to grow
            recession
…‘online’ starting to catch up with ‘offline’
across all types of content consumption
…reading newspaper & magazines is first to
tip from ‘offline’ to digital…. what’s next?



 76% watched TV             spending more time
                           reading newspapers &
online (up from 45%          magazines digitally
      in 2008)                 than on paper

 spending an average of   58% downloaded films to
    30 minutes a day       watch online (up from
   watching TV online          38% in 2008)
…and a new generation that will be always on
  – they don’t go to the web, the web comes to
  them


    58%* have used                                                      up from 50% in 2008
                                                                           (41% in 2006)
   mobile to access the
         internet
      25% use mobile internet                                       up from 5% in 2008
            every day




*and handset functionality & cost are the main barriers at the moment
…so far mobile internet use mirrors some
  aspects of ‘traditional’ online behaviour



                                                  67%* social networking
                                                  66% email
                                                  60% finding places
                                                  57% information



* of those who have used mobile internet at all
…but there are some interesting new
  applications on the horizon


                                                  Skype / IM (50% used /
                                                  intend next 12 months)
                                                  Other Apps (45%)
                                                  Video-Messaging (40%)

                                                  Augmented Reality (20%)
* of those who have used mobile internet at all
…contribution to social media still growing but
the number of true content creators remains
relatively stable
…around 4 in 5 are actively engaged in some
kind of social media
…around 3 in 5 will actively read other
people’s blogs, forum posts and reviews
…around 3 in 10 will contribute to the internet
by commenting, adding to forums, posting
ratings or reviews
…around 2 in 10 will genuinely build the
internet through blogs, their own websites &
uploading their own videos


                               this has edged upwards
                              from around 15% in 2007

                               but it is still a case of a
                             minority (albeit substantial)
                               talking to the majority
…but when it comes to influence on purchase,
young people are heavily influenced by the
conversations going on in their inner circle


                            93% are influenced by
                            what friends tell them
…but the outer circle is becoming increasingly
influential too




                             85% are influenced by
                             what they read or hear
                              generally online (up
                               from 70% in 2008)
…twitter is not being used by everybody
(contrary to its media status only around 2 in
10 young people have used it)

                               these young people have
                                 used twitter this year
…compared to the (continuing for now)
primacy of facebook


                             this person isn’t even on
                                     facebook!
…but social media behaviour
doesn’t stand still

                      66% have made their social
                        network more private

                       55% have cut back on their
                      friends /become more picky
                        about who they accept as
                                 friends

                         32% are using social
                           networks less
…behaviour change fast – how quickly can
brands respond?
                     80% say the recession
                    has changed the way they
                      think about the future

                      67% paying special attention to
                       promotions and special offers

                      56% staying in with friends more
                           rather than going out

                     52% taking food they have made at
                      home to work, school or college
attitudes change quickly, how quickly can we
respond?

                   70% agree that quality is
                  more important than quantity
                       in today’s climate

                     54% started to only buy
                     things I really need now

                   backlash against 15 minutes
                    of fame culture – only 12%
                   agree that fame is desirable
what this
means in
2010 and
beyond?
evolved consumers
huge untapped creative potential
empowered
  consumer
quick, easy, cheap ways
for voicing your opinion,
    super connected,
        always on
participatory culture
...way beyond media and consumption
post-consumer era
        “this is not a question of scale.
It is a different way of existing” J.Murdoch
omnivorous remix/review
“it is no longer about what your brand does to the consumer but
 what consumers are doing to and with your brand” Mark Earls
“where the truth lies”
not only trust in ads
has fallen but also its
structural capacity of
generating influence
(reach)


media clutter
sea of
 niches
personalization,
diversification,
fragmentation,
niches culture,


    tailored
   approach
always in beta
 personalization and diversification also
mean that systems are getting flexible and
 adaptive to incorporate the users input
around me:
       pull NOT push
fragmentation also means the new and
   only potential center is now “me”
rise of the real-time
collective mind
                                    getting
                         information that’s
                          relevant to who I
                            am, where I am
                        and what I’m up to
                                     sharing
                           information with
                           the right people,
                        at the right time, in
                               the right way
It’s not
information
overload.
It’s filter
failure (c. shirky)
But filters
are getting
better
ambient model
   continuous
 togetherness
and now these conversations
are moving offline
stop
  calling it
     new
    media
 and digital
  it’s here
     and
everywhere
how is marketing
        [still]
responding to all this?
ivory tower mentality
consumers don’t really
know what they want
still dreaming
of raising
the perfect
consumer
consumers
  as passive
respondents
campaigns
   consumers
  engage with
      brands
    every day

   why should
brands engage
     with them
    quarterly?
one size
  fits all

   supposedly
 consistency...
    actually,
  blindness to
organic diversity
command
& control
monolithic brands
planning in silos
not invented here syndrome
asynchronous mode
the world has changed

  marketing, branding and
the “agency model” haven’t
   changed that much...

Fast Company predicts
"Ad agency executive" to
 be among six jobs that
   won't exist in 2016
but is it really
      all about
   bottom-up and
crowd engagement?
Do Brands Need Agencies? | Face Forum, Nov 09
some reactions...
 “only works with a simple and well-defined brand”
“I don’t want 1000 ideas, I want one really good one”
      “you won’t get a collaborative process”
           “you need to have arguments”
“crowd-sourcing doesn’t lend itself to the big idea”
         “no access to strategy or insight”
       “all you get is a bunch of one-off ads”
let’s take a step
       back
Do Brands Need Agencies? | Face Forum, Nov 09
what you get
+bottom-up richness
+global crowd
+diversified crowd
+wider range of talent
+cost-effective
+lots of ideas
+rich insight
+consumer-brand relationship
+peer-rating
+buzz
what’s missing
-it’s many-to-one
-not very targeted
-it’s bottom-up but still vertical
-access to insight and strategy (confidentiality)
-collaboration
-editing, building on, refining
-funneling process
-face-to-face
-strategic thinking
bottom up
   is not enough
          “the bottom-up mind
      will take us much further,
but will never take us to the end goal”
               (kevin kelly)


     Crowd-sourcing needs to be
       part of a bigger process
let’s take a look
at another approach
co-creation

     Is the act of company stakeholders
collaborating directly with selected (usually
smaller) groups of consumers to work on a
                 specific brief.

  Is about leveraging consumers’ creativity
without preempting the results of the process

Can take place on-line in communities or/and
            offline in workshops
what you get
+few-to-few-to-one
+more targeted
+bottom-up and top-down
+collaboration, editing, building on
+refinement and funneling
+online & face-to-face
+access to insight and strategy (confidentiality)
+strategic thinking

  • 15. …but when it comes to influence on purchase, young people are heavily influenced by the conversations going on in their inner circle 93% are influenced by what friends tell them
  • 16. …but the outer circle is becoming increasingly influential too 85% are influenced by what they read or hear generally online (up from 70% in 2008)
  • 17. …twitter is not being used by everybody (contrary to its media status only around 2 in 10 young people have used it) these young people have used twitter this year

  • 29. not only trust in ads has fallen but also its structural capacity of generating influence (reach) media clutter
  • 31. always in beta personalization and diversification also mean that systems are getting flexible and adaptive to incorporate the users input
  • 32. around me: pull NOT push fragmentation also means the new and only potential center is now “me”
  • 33. rise of the real-time collective mind getting information that’s relevant to who I am, where I am and what I’m up to sharing information with the right people, at the right time, in the right way

  • 55. brand don’t own the space anymore, consumers own it strategy should be built around them not around the brand
  • 56. It’s just people not alien “consumers”
  • 57. stop thinking of “the others”
  • 58. it’s all about immersion
  • 59. tapping into the richest insight field, free, spontaneous, always up-to-date

  • 74. let’s take a step back
  • 76. what you get +bottom-up richness +global crowd +diversified crowd +wider range of talent +cost-effective +lots of ideas +rich insight +consumer-brand relationship +peer-rating +buzz

  • 78. bottom up is not enough “the bottom-up mind will take us much further, but will never take us to the end goal” (kevin kelly) Crowd-sourcing needs to be part of a bigger process
  • 79. let’s take a look at another approach
  • 80. co-creation Is the act of company stakeholders collaborating directly with selected (usually smaller) groups of consumers to work on a specific brief. Is about leveraging consumers’ creativity without preempting the results of the process Can take place on-line in communities or/and offline in workshops

Editor's Notes

  1. an evolving consumer has generated the demand for a new type of media education not matched by jobs they can (education) and want to give more than being just passive respondents huge untapped creative potential
  2. beyond consumption and consumerism vs being represented and governed 徹 v er the past fifteen years the rise of the World WideWeb has resulted in remarkable new possibilities and business models reshaping our economy. An entire new generation has come of age with this technology and is committed to using its creativity, collaboration and civic-mindedness to address the challenges facing our country and the world. With the proliferation of issues and not enough resources to address them all, many government leaders recognize the value in public-private partnerships, as well as the opportunities inherent in harnessing a highly motivated and diverse population to address the great challenges facing our nation.There is a new compact on the horizon: government maintains information on a variety of issues and that information should rightly be considered a national asset. Citizens are connected like never-before and have the skill sets and passion to solve problems affecting them locally as well as nationally. Government information and services can be provided to citizens where and when they need it. Citizens will be empowered to become leaders, with government, to spark the innovation that will result in an improved approach to governance. This has never before been possible, and we now have the chance to make this compact a reality. �
  3. James Murdoch in his Marketing Society Annual Lecture said ‘Ubiquitous connectivity means fundamentally that the individual becomes the agent of everything...we’ve learnt through experience what difference the new empowered world means for our relationship with customers. This is not a question of scale. It is a different way of existing’. The Internet allows people to freely associate, form groups and publish on a scale never imagined before. Individuals and groups have the power to get their ideas across at a level once enjoyed only by large organizations, corporations and governments. The price of knowledge is falling to zero. Anything from powerful server computer software to how to become a six-sigma black belt can be found on the Internet. A child in India can monitor classes at MIT for free[x]. The quality of this information is getting better all the time.  These three factors contribute to a new economy that some companies are starting to harness. Welcome to the post-consumer era where we all pitch in to build the products & services we use:  50% of all web sites are brought to you by open source software, built and maintained by volunteers[xi].Google, the world 痴 most popular search engine and an economy unto itself, relies primarily on the recommendations of web page authors to drive its search engine[xii].A 2006 Forrester Research study shows almost 40% of Gen Y consumers research products online before making an offline purchase[xiii]. Conversely, the influence of advertising is falling at a similar rate.IBM now makes twice as much money servicing its Linux open source software customers than it does selling intellectual property and patents ($2 billion in 2003)[xiv].BestBuy allows its employees to place bets on which products will sell and which ones won 稚 [ xv]. Among all BestBuy employees, the person who consistently outperforms all other employees in this most critical task is the CEO 痴 secretary. Why? (they studied this) Because she types all the meeting minutes for important meetings. No one else in the company has such wide exposure to what 痴 going on.
  4. continuing explosion in real time reviews / comment empowered consumers ingest and remix everything, appropriation and reshaping in own terms fosters collaboration, creativity, innovation and circulation vs closeness, control, Mark Earls author of Herd, says that it is no longer about what your brand does to the consumer but what consumers are doing to and with your brand.
  5. top-down messages are seen as unreliable by default vs advertising as provides of role models and advice less effective mad men image: where advertising lies or 60’ad campaign image Consumers have replaced trust in advertising with trust in individuals: in particular, friends, family, and colleagues. Turning to communities and away from mass media, consumers are increasingly making traditional advertising more irrelevant. They have learned to block the ads they don 稚 want, and gate-keeping is becoming more sophisticated and widespread: according to Forrester Research DVR ownership in North America, which features ad-skipping, will grow from 19% of households in 2006 to 55% in 2011. More than half of UK consumers using the Internet at home utilize spam and popup blockers to filter unwanted messages from their online experiences, and countries like the Netherlands, France, and Germany are not far behind.
  6. the ad system built on scarcity of channels. now not only trust in ad has fallen but also its structural capacity of generating influence (reach) Different ways of existing means there is more fragmentation: which in turn is driving more complexity. The number of media channels available to marketers, agencies, and consumers has exploded. Proliferation of choice offers marketers new opportunities, such as social networks, mobile, and branded entertainment. Social media, in which consumers become publishers and media outlets drives media buyers crazy; there are more than 59 million videos in YouTube today, and they can 稚 cut deals with every blogger.
  7. vs one size fits all personalization and diversification led to fragmentation and niche culture, niche culture requires tailored approach niche communities map image
  8. personalization, diversification means also that system have to be flexible and adaptive to incorporate the users input, that’s why they stay in beta vs monolitic brands that’s why tv series had a great success on the web, the series mechanics is closer to the web than the film mechanics. lost is closer to twitter than ‘pride and prejudice’ is No one knows what the world will look like in 10 years all we can be certain about is that it will be very different from today. We are only just beginning to understand the impact that social media will have on our industry. For this reason successful companies will need to adopt a culture of innovation that will enable them to quickly develop and trial products and new business models and see what works. You should identify those members of your team that are future looking and create work streams and give them clear KPIs that focus on innovation for the agency.
  9. but fragmentation also mean that new and only possible center point is now “me” The world is built around me and i’m in control of it. I want to be able to pull and not to be pushed, unless i decide what should be pushed at me almost all consumers own a PC and mobile phone, and they spend almost half of their media time with interactive channels. Use of RSS and podcasts has increased to 10% and 14%, respectively, from virtually nothing in 2003.
  10. vs asynchronous distance getting information that relevant to who I am, where I am and what I’m up to sharing information with the right people, at the right time, in the right way
  11. and as the numbers of reviews, comments, verdicts grows, their influence will increase as consumer are better equipped to filter internet noise and turn it into personal wisdom (social search)
  12. extended networks and immediacy generate the need for an ambient model this ambient model is reshaping not only the way we relate to our friends and connections but to the media, the brands and the content we interact with online vs campaigning, on/off relationships based on the tv programming paradigm Consumers want to be more involved with the brands and products they consume: this applies also to the way they are communicated to them through advertising. Doritos is the most famous example in the UK whereby consumers were invited via a competition to create the next TV campaign http://ow.ly/lntB. More recently Unilever 痴 Peperami have dropped Lowe to Crowdsource their next ad campaign with consumers at http://ow.ly/lmRh . Noam Buchalter marketing manager at Peperami says: 展 e believe Peperami is a brand that deserves radical creative solutions and are confident taking our brief out to thousands rather than a small team of 田 r eatives � will provide us with the best possible idea and take our advertising to the next level. �
  13. location specific reviews / comment through mobile web
  14. when we speak to marketing and brand managers, 70% of the times the conversation ends up with: “you know this is very new, the organization needs to adapt, it takes time...” well the problem is, this is not new and time’s up. the world is different and people are behaving differently so they expect you to do the same, not to come up with excuses for not changing... quick run through as it’s interesting to talk about a number of massive and evident changes/trends the industry is not responding to yet
  15. pursuits that are disconnected from the practical concerns of everyday life
  16. creatives know better than consumers
  17. the main challenge we face in the industry is letting consumers voice their opinion and having this opinion taken into account in the creative process
  18. responds to evolved consumer consumers respond to ideas generated by someone else. brought in only after most of the process has been completed img: focus group
  19. on/off relationships point in response to continuous relationships
  20. integrated or 360 is still an excuse to sell campaigns ideas as brand ideas so that they can produce a TV commercial and shoe horn other channels in afterwards.
  21. panopticon image Mark Earls author of Herd, says that it is no longer about what your brand does to the consumer but what consumers are doing to and with your brand.
  22. is social media: research planning brand innovation customer care...
  23. if it doesn’t come from us we are never going to use it and quote the source. we’d rather not use it at all or reinvent it exactly the opposite of the web culture, all built around the idea of sharing and efficiency: no need to recreate if it’s there - creative commons Not Invented Here ( NIH ) is a term used to describe persistent social , corporate or institutional culture that avoids using or buying already existing products, research or knowledge because of its different origins. It is normally used in a pejorative sense.As a social phenomenon, "Not Invented Here" syndrome is manifested as an unwillingness to adopt an idea or product because it originates from another culture, a form of nationalism . which also means reinventing the wheel

  25. -social media makes this arrangement not possible any longer because has made consumers visible img: matchless suite
  26. -agencies as gatekeepers between brands and consumers -agencies are keeping brands hostage and brands are happy to be hostages as they both enjoy the comfort zone and this unity helps them keeping consumers at a distance. -social media makes this arrangement not possible any longer because has made the consumers visible and it’s not a question of scale, but a different way of existing
  27. cartel of publishers, producers, media (tv and radio) youths and rock and rock n roll are about to come
  28. - social media as the platform where all media converge and the glue between brand and consumers: 1) bring insights out, 2) takes brand experiences in, 3) test brand experiences before sending them out to the other channels, 4) is the place where all conversation happen around the messages in all the other channels a place for INSIGHTS, IDEA GENERATION, TESTING & VALIDATION, DISTRIBUTION, WORD OF MOUTH & ADVOCACY, PROMOTION
  29. img first slide intro to qualitative research
  30. getting and staying close to consumers rather than observing them adding anthropology, pop culture, consumerism, sociology, localization and influence dynamics. ethnographic approach Social media can help us immerse ourselves and collaborate with consumers
  31. it’s about tapping into the richest insight field we ever had social media immersion, insights and ideas come from everywhere, 24/7: turning quantity into quality, pattern recognition The arrival of research 3.0: new social media tools and web 2.0 are helping brands to research consumers in more exciting and different ways through mass collaboration and intimate co-creation. Combined with new ways of accumulating robust qualitative data which we can make sense of from the web, then research has an exciting future ahead of it. It will herald a new era � Research 3.0.
  32. Consumers will be treated in a fundamentally different way : They will be given more responsibility and will be more involved throughout the brand marketing process. Co-creating with consumers as direct and active equals to deliver a range of marketing outputs will be part of its core philosophy.
  33. it’s about using the web as the largest creative department creative agencies without creatives
  34. a progressive story not quarterly campaigns New social media tools will help brands to be on 24/7: this is part of what we call at Face 鍍 h e socialisation of brands � where campaign and channel marketing gives way to 田 o ntinuous brand engagement marketing � . The environment the brand lives and breathes in is always on and is always changing so brands need to be listening to and observing their consumers not just in communities but also on the web as well as involving them on a continuous basis in everything they do.
  35. this is what happens to brands trying to push their messages into the communities without being part of those communities Consumer communities will reign: The focus on the 30 second TV spot will give way to the content and conversations that are being generated by consumers and between consumers around the brand. This will in turn produce different segmentation models where brands see consumers not just as potential customers who want to buy something from them but as people who want to have a relationship with them.
  36. brand story, not message placement Centered on the web, yet branching out over mobile, mail, flash mobs, scavenger hunts, casual games, user generated content, collaborative narratives, streaming video and moreOver 10M unique participants in 75 countries made 展 h y So Serious? � a new benchmark for integrated campaigns. The Dark Knight was the most successful movie of 2008 and 2nd highest grossing film of all time.
  37. STOP PUTTING THE EXACT SAME STORY EVERYWHERE. PEOPLE LIKE STORIES WITH DEPTH AND COMPLEXITY. so you need 1000 heads to generate a 1000 messages: crowdsourcing, co-creation, word of mouth
  38. brands, like participative web apps, should be made of building block in order to be able to respond quickly, preserve integrity and coherence but being tailored vs monolithic branding. agility flexibility, iteration ▪ Individuals and interactions over processes and tools ▪ Working software over comprehensive documentation ▪ Customer collaboration over contract negotiation ▪ Responding to change over following a plan ▪ Customer satisfaction by rapid, continuous delivery of useful software ▪ Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) ▪ Working software is the principal measure of progress ▪ Even late changes in requirements are welcomed (this does not mean code & run. Instead removing an existing feature or moving a deadline forward to accommodate late/unplanned feature requests [ not in citation given ] ) ▪ Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers ▪ Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (Co-location) ▪ Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted ▪ Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design ▪ Simplicity ▪ Self-organizing teams ▪ Regular adaptation to changing circumstances the software industry was the first one to react to these changes. they responded creating a new process for designing software called agile development.At the end of the day softwares are brands, and the principles behind agile development are perfectly right for what brand need to stay afloat in a conversational media environment: agile branding.agile developementno specs movement
  39. all this means going from this model, to this...
  40. reversing the traditional model - consumers are at the core, not brands - social media, not agencies, is the gatekeeper between consumers and brands - agencies become communities of consumers
  41. Fast Company has even predicted "Ad agency executive" to be among six jobs that won't exist in 2016
  42. good example: famous brand dumping its advertising agency to go pure crowd-sourcing
  43. some of these statements is true, some isn’t but the main point is that bottom up is not enough
  44. Crowdsourcing is the act of a company taking a function once performed by employees and outsourcing it to a large community of people in the form of an open brief. This is primarily undertaken by individuals on-line who compete against each, with the winning idea being voted for by the community or by the company (more like a competition).
  45. -It is cost effective as companies pay by results -The company can tap a wider range of talent than might be present in its own organization -By listening to the crowd, companies gain consumer insight -The community may feel a stronger relationship with the company which is the result of an earned sense of ownership through contribution & collaboration
  46. what works is an hybrid model that includes individual thinking and group brainstorming
  47. So we add design and top down control to get where we want to go.
The systems we keep will be hybrid creations. They will have a strong rootstock of peer-to-peer generation, grafted below highly refined strains of controlling functions.  Sturdy, robust foundations of user-made content and crowd-sourced innovation will feed very small slivers of leadership agility. Pure plays of 100% smart mobs or 100% smart elites will be rare.
  48. This can take place on-line in communities or offline in workshops. The aim of co-creation is to develop ideas together with consumers that meet their needs and fulfill business requirements of the company.
  49. -Produces more robust products and ideas that consumers want to buy and companies can produce -Faster way of generating new & disruptive ideas and solving problems -Immerses companies in the lives, aspirations and needs of their consumers -Builds strong and lasting relationships between companies and consumers
  50. you need to bring top-down thinking as well, but still keeping consumers at the core of what you do. and this is what co-creation is about top down thinking, research, consumer at the center, engage the crowds
  51. a mix of old and new model, with social media at its core now explain how to use co-creation and crowdsourcing, when, with what results
  52. Answer to title’s question…
