goviral at Cannes Lions 2009
Always On
goviral's third consecutive seminar at the 2009 Cannes Lions introduces two key concepts for brands, looking for online success.
Users are now “always on” and media is consumed when, how and as users like it. The challenge is how to change a declining advertising model build around a structured media model of scarcity and activate your brand in an era of participation and abundant information. The seminar here builds on a concept established in last year’s Social Metropolis book, the two-way challenge of the new media landscape. While new engaging technologies and social media services dramatically lowers the barriers to communication and allow brands to engage in much more rich conversations than ever before, the increased user participation and media fragmentation creates a rapidly growing scarcity of attention. The traditional model is a broken one, but rewards are great for the brands that successfully tap in to the new vibrant and connected media system.
The seminar then moves beyond to suggest that a series of developments in the advertiser ecosystem are needed in order to re-align ourselves with the users and the way they communicate. CEO of goviral, Jimmy Maymann, suggest that to benefit from the full potential of the new ecosystem advertisers need to master three crucial elements of change and offers a strategic framework for working with these changes build around the idea of owned, paid and organic media.

In a presentation filled with examples of how to deploy engaging campaigns in the new media space Jimmy demonstrates how to work with digital pull techniques and media planning.

Conversational Marketing at Venice Vision 2008
Conversational marketing can't be planned like traditional campaigns
The blogosphere can be a dark place for brands to visit, full of consumer cynicism and adverse publicity. This session addresses the tools and tactics that brands can use to manage the conversation. It asks whether brands can really control the delicate balance of image and opinion on the internet and if social networks will become effective global advertising channels in the near future.
Conversational marketing needs to be an on-going process and cannot be planned in traditional campaign periods, according to Go Viral's Jimmy Maymann. Brands can make predictions about how long a campaign will take to gain traction, but ultimately it is user-driven so, like political campaigns, they need to be planned over longer periods, and tested with influencers before they reach a tipping point.
