21. The 4 ‘F’s of
Citizen Marketing
•Filters
•Fanatics
•Facilitators
•Firecrackers
(* Source: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba *)
22. Filters
• The Filters are human wire services. They
collect brand stories and then package
this information into a stream of
observations.
• Filters maintain a steady objectivity
like traditional news, but some Filters
cross over into analysis.
• Their work could be called amateur brand
journalism.
(* Source: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba *)
23. Fanatics
• The Fanatics are true believers and
evangelists. They love to analyze the
progress of a brand
• The Fanatics praise great work -- but
they will also criticize mistakes in
full view of the world
• Fanatics want to contribute and add
value, they want to contribute and
often do so, even if the company isn't
listening
(* Source: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba *)
24. Facilitators
• Facilitators are community creators.
Facilitators are like the mayors of
online towns, and some online communities
exceed the populations of small cities
• Facilitators create online communities
mostly for fans to connect with other
fans and offer support
• The size or demographics of some
Facilitator-created communities becomes
attractive enough to interest advertisers
(* Source: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba *)
25. Firecrackers
• Firecrackers are the one-hit wonders &
attract considerable attention because
they have created a song, animation,
video, or novelty that generates a lot
of interest
• They may disappear as quickly as they
arrived, the Firecrackers can have a
measurable impact on a slice of culture
or business
(* Source: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba *)
26. Citizen Content
• The people are the message because their role
as publishers or broadcasters hoists them
above the boundaries that one-way media
communicators have erected around themselves
• They are not the balcony standers of one-way
media, concealed behind walls of
organizational privacy.
• Participation is their medium and their
platform.
(* Source: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba *)
27. •the future of
advertising is about
engaging your
customers as co-
creators, rather than
expecting them to
passively consume.

101. “This album is seamlessly mixed, its relentless pace determined not to
let your feet rest for one second. The Washington D.C. foursome of
Fort Knox Five has rounded up tunes from, among others, Ursula
1000,Nickodemus, Krafty Kuts and Dynamo Productions. Apart from glueing all
the tracks together rather incredibly, invisibly well, FK5 has also quot;reminted“
each one. Latin beats, brassy horns, phat basslines and punchy breaks
supersize some already mean tunes. And don't forget double dollops of wah
guitars for that extra funk flavour. Slip this into the sound system at your next
party, then race to the dancefloor, 'cos it's gonna fill up very quickly. “
