Photos Drive The Most Engagement on Facebook [INFOGRAPHIC]

Photos Drive The Most Engagement on Facebook [INFOGRAPHIC] | Brand Marketing News | Scoop.it
Humankind in general are visual creatures. Therefore, it makes sense that visual representations of data get more engagement than plain old text.

 

According to a new infographic from global communications company M Booth and media measurement and analytics company Simply Measured, visual content is not only taking the online world by storm; it’s also driving engagement!

 

Here are some highlighted stats from the infographic that make the case:

 

On Facebook, videos are shared 12X more than links and text posts combined.
On Facebook, photos are liked 2X more than text updates.
42% of all Tumblr posts are photos. On YouTube, 100 million users are taking a social action on videos every week. Photo and video posts on Pinterest are referring more traffic than Twitter, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, and Google+.

American Airlines Rebrands Itself, And America Along With It

American Airlines Rebrands Itself, And America Along With It | Brand Marketing News | Scoop.it
American Airlines has just rebranded for the first time in over 40 years. The AA logo of yore is gone, replaced by the Flight Symbol, a red and blue eagle crossed with a wing.
Torsten Flaegel's insight:

There’s logic behind the decision: AA recently ordered 550 new planes. Many will have composite bodies that can’t be polished with the mirror shine of American’s existing fleet.

Social Media Marketing Takes Off in 2013 #infographic

Social Media Marketing Takes Off in 2013 #infographic | Brand Marketing News | Scoop.it
Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social media sites. Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks.

 

A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself. Hence, this form of marketing is driven by word-of-mouth, meaning it results in earned media rather than paid media.

Nearly half of the human resources professionals belonging to the Society for Human Resource Management reported that their companies were somewhat or very likely to keep their reduced budgets for the foreseeable future. Some of this reduced budget is reflected in more companies choosing to outsource entire initiatives and company functions, rather than taking on new staff. Here are some ways companies are adjusting:

Retail with Purpose: How retail brands can humanize sustainability

Retail with Purpose: How retail brands can humanize sustainability | Brand Marketing News | Scoop.it

Sustainability at retail can be perceived as being illogical if not contradictory. Because according to logic, if the purpose of retail is about promoting only purchase and thereby consumption, then it runs counter to sustainability principles such as reduce, recycle and re-use. But retail in its broadest sense is not just about stores. It also refers to having a physical, local or direct to community business presence (i.e. a bank or post-office would qualify as retail). But in order to bring the concept of “sustainability” out beyond the niche and to the masses, we will need to transcend logic and find more ways to get people to care about life tomorrow – today.
