Gaming for gloryPositioning brands in social communities Robert Kana May, 17th 2008, Paris
Difficulties for brand positioning in that new environment • Social communities don’t allow branding • People would get disturbed there • People look for social exchange • People try to find (and solve) problems there • People are active independently
Why positioning Brands in online communities? • People’s time in online communities increases • To get into contact with people • That is what permission marketing intends
How to position brands in online communities? It is not suitable to advertise. Therefore we will have to find new perspectives: • Presence (instead of advertising) • Being creative (instead of following common scripts) • Develop employees to stakeholders • Encourage employees to act self dependent for the company
The students project: how we deal with it The aims of using this strategic game for the students are: • Getting acquainted with the field of online social communities and learning how effective communication can be managed in such an environment. • Learning to manage team processes (virtual teams). • Positioning the Institute of communication management of the FH-WIEN ingame. • Heighten awareness of other players ingame for the FH-WIEN (ingame players could become future students).
