“social media describes the online technologies and practices that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other. Social media can take many different forms, including text, images, audio, and video. Popular social mediums include blogs, message boards, podcasts, wikis, and vlogs.” {wikipedia.org}
social media to weather recession “Conventional wisdom says that experimental media get cut in tough economic times. But social applications like communities, social networking sites, and word-of-mouth marketing are proving themselves, and they depend on an abundant resource — your customers — rather than a scarce one — advertising dollars. In a recession, social applications with measurable results will pay off.” - Josh Bernoff, Forrester Research – February 6, 2008

Case Study starting a conversation with an integrated social media strategy
challenges: • How do you introduce “yet another new piece of software” into an already crowded market of incumbents? • How do you seed a new idea to a skeptical and marketing- weary universe of “influencers”? the crayon solution: • Directly engage early adopters with a combination of incentives for immediate trial and active social media engagement to stimulate interest, usage and conversation • Instead of “telling” people about ooVoo (“end”), let them use it to create an experience (“means to an end”) • “Demonstrate”, “empower” and “involve” audience with ooVoo as a conversation catalyst or conduit

Good Morning Amy, Thank you for contacting Target; unfortunately we are unable to respond to your inquiry because Target does not participate with non-traditional media outlets. This practice is in place to allow us to focus on publications that reach our core guest. Once again thank you for your interest, and have a nice day.

Case Study into a conversation turning a traditional marketing program
“traditional digital” as a starting point • Panasonic created a promotional program where they invited 30 families to “live in high definition” through (un)wiring them with a bundle of premium, high definition products (tv, blu-ray, still camera, digital camcorder, etc.) • Panasonic engaged crayon to help evolve this program from a campaign to a commitment and in doing so, create a fully-functioning and self- sustaining community of like-minded consumers.
