Complex media landscapeToo many (new) media, old ways to measure reach not sufficientDefinitions are outdated: what do we mean with “did you watch television yesterday?”

Page 3: Using paid owned and earned media to create strong brands

How to simplify? Useful media typology or categorization? Help understand the processIn doing so, we always will see only part of the whole ‘media ecosystem’

Paid, Owned and Earned Media DistinctionIt helps dividing budget and based on control (brand strategy)a) Content (control and media ownership) b) Content reach (investment) c) Content creation (brand itself, the consumer or both)See also Baetzgen and Tropp, 2013; Corcoran, 2009; De Bakker, 2009; Goodall, 2009; Lieb and Owyang, 2012); Stephen and Galak, 2012

Distinction by media channel, useful but still problematicFor instance Facebook can be owned as well as Earned

Page 5: Using paid owned and earned media to create strong brands

Distinction by Content Reach (investment): only part of the equationUsefull but also problematic: for instance customers are also reached via paid media and it is not only fans that engage in earned media

How to spend my money?Our study: How to build strong brands via Paid, Owned & Earned Media? We did not measure the effect on Reach (we assumed equal reach) We did not measure the effect on ROI (buying behavior)

Brands use different POEM strategies, but it is unclear whether these strategies result in different brand

effects.

We did not create a Paid and Earned (or Earned only) group as brands that not use, or have not made use, of owned media almost not exist. Most brand still use paid or profit from paid activities in the pastNo brands that only make use of earned media (without having owned media)‘Paid only’ does not exist, however many brands only reach (potential) consumers via paid

Page 9: Using paid owned and earned media to create strong brands

Comparing the four groups is a challengeChallenge: media selection (earned = fans), media confrontation, measuring brand change (takes time)

Best brand impression

Most trustworthy Source

1. Brand website 1. Info friends 2. Commercials 2. Online review 3. Brand magazine 3. Brand website 4. Magazines 4. Seller (shop) 5. Info friends 5. Magazines

InterpretationSelf reports: POEM behavior and Brand effects

50% not interested in brand recommendations made by friends (46% use websites more often for brand info)

25% use social media more often to see what other consumers have to say about brands

Page 19: Using paid owned and earned media to create strong brands

ConclusionPaid + owned = clarity and consistencyEarned = trust but negative and disruptive

Advertising and media effort is worth the effort PO showed the largest increase in brand equity It creates a good overall brand impression. Earned media add trust to the brand But seem to disrupt a clear brand image

Media planning is essential Simply using more media seems a waste of money
