TRENDS, LIKE HORSES, ARE EASIER TO RIDE IN THE DIRECTION THEY ARE GOING. - John Naisbitt
IS YOUR MARKETING IN SYNC? In today’s demand economy consumers watch your brand’s commercials on fast forward, visit your websites when they want, and “Like” your Facebook Fan pages to learn about promotions. This multi-channel media consumption not only happens on multiple screens, but in the span of a few minutes! Activating cohesive marketing campaigns can be the difference between conversion or clicking the back button. Real-time data provided from conversations in social media offers a window into marketing performance from the unvarnished voice of your consumer.

REAL-TIME DATA ALLOWS MARKETING TO SYNC WITH CONSUMERS Social media data enables a new breed of agile marketing techniques informed by real-time consumer insights, minimizing the need for marketers to rely on antiquated measurement and reporting practices. Previous methods of understanding consumer behavior weren’t designed to keep pace with a consumer who makes decisions at the speed of “click”. By the time survey data or focus group information is distilled and delivered to an activation team, your consumer has already changed. Digital marketing now requires real-time methods to track consumer behavior, uncover patterns, and discover insights that are actionable this week!
SOCIAL MEDIA PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK WITH CONSUMERS

DEMAND ECONOMY REQUIRES MARKETING TO SYNC WITH CONSUMERS Good news! More data clarifies, it doesn’t complicate. Information need not be an either or proposition. The opportunity for brands is to determine the right blend of consumer data and research techniques that are most effective to fuel performance in the demand economy. Real-time data is complimentary to all ongoing efforts to develop market, consumer, and audience intelligence. The question for marketers now: are the insights you’re collecting opportune or has your consumer changed their mind?

MARKETING USED TO BE SIMPLE When the media world was less fragmented and before your consumer had a megaphone that could influence millions, marketing was simple. The consumer data collected could be synthesized and applied by brands at a rate that reflected the pace of marketing optimization. Before the demand economy, brands could afford to evolve at their pace. Today, the consumer will be attracted to the brands that understand them and their changing wants, needs, and desires.

IS THERE ROOM TO IMPROVE? MARKETERS SAY YES! HOW LONG CAN WE
IGNORE TODAY’S CHALLENGES Many of the strategies, tactics, and processes employed to execute marketing programs today are 20, 30, or 50 years old. Sure, many principles and techniques are everlasting, but we must admit that much of what we do wasn’t designed for the internet or consumers who could influence the opinions of thousands. Marketing measurements and decision processes are ready for improvement. A real-time data layer from all digital sources – paid, owned, and earned media – can make the difference between feast or famine in the demand economy.

BRANDS ARE LETTING OPPORTUNITY SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS
CAPITALIZING ON CONSUMER TRENDS Consumers are currently going through an evolutionary leap similar to the one brought on by the wide adoption of the internet. Today, mobile and social technologies are accelerating the rate of change at a pace never before experienced. Marketers are left with the choice to embrace change or not. New capabilities offer new opportunities for brands to delight consumers. The winning brands in the demand economy will be those who are as agile as their consumers.

REAL-TIME CONSUMER DATA IS EVERYWHERE
READY, SET, PIVOT There was a time when consumers weren’t communicating publicly across the internet and marketers employed a myriad of research techniques to gather intelligence and uncover insights. Many hours were spent gathering and synthesizing this data to make marketing more effective. Today, marketers have a new reality: data everywhere. The task has thus shifted from uncovering information to applying information. Real-time data now allows marketers the ability to query consumers at every decision point.

KNOWING WHAT IS IMPORTANT
STOP GUESSING ABOUT WHAT YOUR TARGET CONSUMER LIKES When a brand works to stay in sync through real-time data, knowing consumer preference begins to make marketing decisions easier. Allowing your target audience to tell you the topics that interest them improves marketing strategy, advertising, media planning, media buying, celebrity endorsement, sponsorship and product placement.

MINIMIZING RISK WITH MARKETING INVESTMENTS Knowing the themes within a topic is helpful, but knowing the conversation focus is powerful. Having accurate information about how your consumer is talking about a topic can make all the difference in a successful product launch. This isn’t merely social intelligence across the entire web, this is insight into a specific audience segment and what’s important to them.
