The 10 "Best" Social Media Campaigns? Marty Says Maybe [eye candy]

The 10 "Best" Social Media Campaigns? Marty Says Maybe [eye candy] | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.jeffbullas.com - January 11, 2013 8:12 AM
Since social media has become an integral part of our lives, marketers have used their creative talents to develop social media campaigns with various degrees of success which can be measured in a variety of ways.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Best Social Media or TV Ads
The problem with this list is it elevates the visual aspects of social media. I think the most converting social media is some customer service innovation by Zappos or someone similar that we will never know about. 

The elevation of the visual, while cool and fun, reinforces the wrong side of social media. Yes SMM has a fun side, but it is very serious business and that is where the money is being made. 

Treating social media like a one sided visual "campaign" reinforces dangerous stereotypes that have CFOs and CEOs doubtful about the real ROI of social media marketing.

As much as eye candy is fun and sells blog views the real benefits of social media are boring old LINE management benefits. I realize "Boring Old Line Management Benefits" isn't a headline that gets many views, but let's be careful about what we hype as "best" least we reinforce stereotypes we are working hard to throw off.

Hi Marty. I agree with your insight. Along the lines of your thinking,.I enjoyed the "Elf Yourself" campaign but I did not remember that Office Max created it. I am sure that people got promotions out of that campaign, but I am not certain that it was a good long-term management benefits.

Another proof what we call 'time' isn't chronological but spatial, the leap change in short period.

Top 10 Curation Revolution Scoops From 2012 [+ Content Analysis]

Top 10 Curation Revolution Scoops From 2012 [+ Content Analysis] | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
December 27, 2012 7:17 PM
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Analytics are wonderful things. The top 4 2012 Scoops garnered 54% of the total Top 10 views. #1 gained almost 20% of the total Top 10 views and #1 + #2 gained 34% of the total top 10 views. 

The data reinforce some consistent Internet marketing themes such as:


* HOT trends #1, #2, #9 41% of views.

* Tools and Tool Reviews #4 + #7 18% of views.
* Contests #3 + #8 17% of views.

* ScentTrail Marketing blogging #6, #10 15% of views.

* Infographics #5, #9 controlled 15% of views.

The views distribution forms a loose power distribution (i.e. 20% content capturing 80% of views) See the chart on Twitter @ScentTrail (http://www.twitter.com/scentTrail)
