THE ERA OF DISENGAGEMENT: IMPLICATIONS

Content is as much about publishing & distribution as it is about creation and storytelling. When considering your content strategy, you must consider the distribution of that content.

TREND TWO:

THE RETAIL REVIVAL

Page 18: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

– William Gibson(did not say this)

“The future of retail is here, it’s just not evenly

distributed”

Page 19: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE RETAIL REVIVAL: KEY DRIVERS (1)CUSTOMER FOCUS: EXPERIENCE

A focus on ‘The Customer Experience’ (hello Apple) and UX as the future of advertising and communications meant that at every retail-themed talk at SXSW (over 150 sessions on this one subject) the topic of customer experience was never far from the agenda.

Consumers are hungry for their high streets to prosper but the value placedon time and attention is continually increasing meaning that if a customerchooses to visit your store, you better make it worthwhile.

Page 20: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE RETAIL REVIVAL: KEY DRIVERS (2)CUSTOMER FOCUS: WEARABLES

Wearable technology was everywhere at SXSW. The Totes bag even had the words ‘The Original Wearable’ printed on it which, perhaps counter-intuitively put wearables front of mind at every glance (and not Totes).

From wrist payments to biometric scanning to seamless mobile inte-gration, the way that consumers interact within the retail environment is set to change and, by iBeacon or wearable, we are about enter a brand new technology-driven bricks and mortar retail revival with a laser sharp focus on the customer experience.

Page 21: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE RETAIL REVIVAL: KEY DRIVERS (3)CUSTOMER FOCUS: ONLINE GOES OFFLINE

Buy Online Pick in Store (or ‘BOPS’) was a key trend in the myriad retail sessions at SXSW.

A recent econsultancy report cited a stag-gering 40% of British consumers reserved online to pick up in-store over Christmas and this is only set to increase.

And it’s here that the online giants could ultimately miss out.

Page 22: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

YOU COULD CALL IT THE ‘CLICKS AND MORTAR’

REVOLUTION

Page 23: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE RETAIL REVIVAL: EXAMPLES

FOCUS ON EXPERIENCE

“The days of waiting in line and crossing fingers for a product are over for our customers. The Apple Store app and our online store make it much easier to purchase Apple Watch and the new MacBook. Customers will know exactly when and where their product arrives.

This is a significant change in mindset, and we need your help to make it happen. Tell your customers we have more availability online, and show them how easy it is to order.

You’ll make their day.”

Wearables and Sensors

“No matter how often we say we’re creeped out by technology, we tend

to acclimate quickly if it delivers what we want before we want it.”

Page 28: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

75% OF MARKETERS BELIEVE THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCEWITHIN 3-5 YEARS

TREND THREE:

LIVESTREAM GOES MAINSTREAM

Page 30: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

– Tero KuittinenBoy Genius Report

“Meerkat’s ‘success’ was the creation of a handful of west coast tech bloggers who managed to lure major newspapers into

covering a phenomenon that did not exist”

Page 31: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

LIVESTREAM GOES MAINSTREAM: DRIVERS (1)

MEERKAT’S RISE AND ‘UP PERISCOPE’

The application Meerkat has “surfaced” during this year’s SXSW.

There was a number of people in the corridors and at performances who were “livestreaming” the event on their social channels.

Gary Vaynerchuk, during his talk with Jack Welch, appeared with a man who was streaming it all the time to the observers of Gary’s profile. The question is whether Meerkat will be able to stand up “Periscope” without that strong support from Twitter? We’re not sure.

Now with PERISCOPE getting in on the scene, the Live Stream promise that was made in the late noughties, is finally coming to fruit.

LIVESTREAM GOES MAINSTREAM: DRIVERS (2)

PROLIFERATION OF 4G / TECH / SOCIAL

Data is no longer a luxury item. With the advent of the year decade of mobile well and truly behind us, 4G technologies plus the democratization of previously pro-sumer tech, means that everybody has access to broadcast-quality kit.

4G networks allow super fast uploads and the flagship smartphones of 2015 packing cameras that can record up to 4K resolution, it’s no wonder that livestreaming is no longer the land of the geeks.

Finally, the maturity and subsequent seamless integration of social media platforms in our lives means that when someone starts broadcasting, their friends will know very quickly indeed.

CONSUMERS ARE INCREASINGLY

LOOKING TO THE SOURCEFOR ENTERTAINMENT

LIVESTREAM GOES MAINSTREAM: EXAMPLES

Meerkat was without doubt the app du jour at SXSW. With tech bros from all over world ‘meerkatting’ their lives to their myriad fans

Page 36: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

LIVESTREAM GOES MAINSTREAM: EXAMPLES

Madonna premiering her the video for her new song exclusively on Meerkat.

1000 subscribers isn’t much but Madge has 640k followers on Twitter and over 18m fans on Facebook (where the Meerkat feed was published to).

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

Page 48: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE ERA OF DISENGAGEMENT

How can you tap into out the consumer fear of ‘information over-load’?

How can we reposition your online (and offline) efforts as the saviour of this never-ending stream of information?

What about content?

If your consumers are switching off, how do ensure you’re adding value and simply not adding to the white noise of social media?

Page 49: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE RETAIL REVIVAL

Real world spaces are back in fashion. You only need to look at Google’s recent high street efforts on Tottenham Court Road to see how/why…

How could you manifest a presence in retail?

What would the customer experience be like?

Where are the opportunities for wearables? What about sensors?

Page 50: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

LIVESTREAM GOES MAINSTREAM

The big stars of this ‘new’ livestream aspect of social media are those that already have the audience to tune in (celebrities, mainly).

Is there a celebrity ‘face’, with an already large following, that you could work with use this? If so, how?

Page 51: The Ogilvy & Mather London SXSW Report

THE ROBOT REVOLUTION

Forget Drones and 3D-printing, for 2015 you want to get robots on your clients’ innovation-led campaigns.

With the aforementioned democratization of the robotics available to us all, getting the right tools, kit, and programmes, in front of the right people –

Well, it’s a creative technologists dream!
