Social And Broadcast Media – Measuring Success

February 29, 2012 by Butch Stearns

Business is about results, and businesses need to put numbers around campaigns in order to measure success. In traditional broadcasting, it all came down to how many people tuned in at a certain time. But how can you measure the convergence of social with your content to develop a digital strategy?

Companies such as Bluefin Labs are working to allow companies to put numbers around social media marketing campaigns tied to your content creation, and make measuring social in broadcast a reality.

So what should you look for to help measure your social broadcast campaigns? In this video, we jump into the topic of social measurement in broadcast, and the numbers that should be important to you.

Tips for Running a Fan Marketing Campaign: Tweeting and Cross-Promotion

February 28, 2012 by Allen Bonde

The last tip in creating a fan marketing campaign is to not only tweet and cross-promote, but to make sure it is part of a multi-channel marketing campaign. It is important to engage your viewers on a regular basis in hopes that they will share out on their channels, too. When evaluating fan marketing strategies, I suggest using SimplyMeasured, a tool that helps to measure the overall impact on social eco-systems.

Check out my video below to see the value of cross-promoting a fan marketing campaign.

Social and Broadcast Media-The Second Screen Experience

February 27, 2012 by Butch Stearns

In the digital age that we are in now, consumers are demanding the second screen experience. Content is now created with the intention that it will end up online. Consumers want to get involved with the media by having conversations that will make them part of the television experience.

Our friends at Hill Holiday, Mike Proulx and Stacey Shepatin, discuss in their book how television ratings are increasing and the ratings that are decreasing are watching television without that second screen experience. It really sums up how the integration of social and broadcast media is moving fast.

Have a look at my video below to see how the second screen experience influences content creation.

Tips for Running a Fan Marketing Campaign: Choosing a Theme

February 23, 2012 by Allen Bonde

When creating a fan marketing campaign, a theme should connect social marketing programs with what is important to Facebook and Twitter users. It is great idea to have a campaign tie into the season like Barney’s did this past New Years by having their users tweet about their 2012 fashion resolutions. If a cause campaign is what you’re striving for, I suggest to create a sense of urgency to drive people to participate.

Take a look at my video below to see what type of themes can be used in creating fan marketing campaigns.
