Messaging Strategy Process

Messaging Strategy Process | Social Media Resources & e-learning | Scoop.it
From www.pinterest.com - February 20, 2016 11:25 AM
A Messaging Strategy is a repeatable process that helps content developers, subject matter experts, clients and other stakeholders identify the key, authentic messages that can be used to create content to attract identified target audiences and motivate them to engage in a pre-determined call to action.
AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
While it takes a team of people under a focused leader to establish and maintain a successful Content Strategy, a few dedicated experts must work with SMEs, clients and other stakeholders to define, document and share the key messages that must be included in all the communication channels that are covered under the content strategy. 

I propose that Messaging Strategy is a repeatable process that helps content developers, subject matter experts, clients and other stakeholders identify the key, authentic messages that can be used to create content to attract identified target audiences and motivate them to engage in a pre-determined call to action.

Excellent post here for those who are intentionally trying to engage their audiences.  From the post:


From this research, a few points are important to remember:


  1. Users that have an emotional connection with content are more likely to share.
  2. Content can either be general or specific to the audience. Specific content must be relevant to the audience.
  3. Content should aim for high arousal emotions that are likely to spur action from users.
  4. Positive and negative high arousal emotions are almost equally effective.

The Future of Digital Marketing is Already Here

The Future of Digital Marketing is Already Here | Social Media Resources & e-learning | Scoop.it
From blog.marketo.com - June 14, 2014 2:56 AM

The future of digital marketing is already here, especially when it comes to presenting highly engaging, personalized, relevant advertising to consumers.


... Let’s think back to the movie Minority Report, which was filmed in 2002 but set in 2054. In a famous scene, Tom Cruise’s character walks into a Gap store. He scans his retinas, and the ad begins speaking to him: “Welcome back to the Gap Mr. Yakamoto, how are those assorted tank tops working for you?”


This movie predicted that, 50 years from now, personalized, 1:1 marketing would be the status quo. Director Steven Spielberg must have had a crystal ball – except that his timing was off. This type of personalized 1:1 marketing is much closer to reality than we’d think, thanks to the advent of tools and technologies like iBeacons (which can trigger messages sent to your phone based on your proximity to a certain location) and richly customized user experiences (easily implemented with real-time personalization tools)....

5 Hashtag Tracking Tools for Twitter, Facebook and Beyond

5 Hashtag Tracking Tools for Twitter, Facebook and Beyond | Social Media Resources & e-learning | Scoop.it
From www.socialmediaexaminer.com - March 6, 2014 8:37 AM

Discover the hashtag tracking tools you need to make it easy to create, manage, track and report on social media hashtag campaigns.


Via Kamal Bennani
AlGonzalezinfo's insight:

Here is another great post by SocialMedia Examiner.   As usual, they get right to the point and offer relevant examples/tools.  


From the article:


Hashtags make it easier for people to find and follow discussions about brands, events and promotions. They also let brands track the performance of promotions across social media.


Hashtags can determine how easily you can target and track a campaign. You’ve probably seen many businesses use generic hashtags like #food or #chocolate. While these will get your update into a large conversation, using such broad hashtags is wasting your time.


Can you imagine how many posts (tweets or otherwise) contain #chocolate every minute? Managing the hashtag would be a nightmare. You’d spend weeks sorting through every instance of the hashtag to determine which mentions apply to you.


It’s worth the effort (and your sanity) to come up with a unique hashtag that fits with your particular campaign.


Checkout a great list of hashtag tracking tools at:

While all the 7 tips are relevant, I want to emphasize the need to avoid visual clutter, tip #4:


 ...And while graphics are certainly attractive, they can also increase the load time of your website. In fact, according to the Aberdeen Group, a one-second delay in page-load time results in 11% fewer page views, a 16% decrease in customer satisfaction, and a 7% loss in conversions. Yikes! Keep things simple, and make sure the images you use on your landing pages support -- not distract -- the pathway to conversion.

In the world of coordinated creation of social media stories, there’s typically two kinds of success, or ROI, on social campaigns – Cost Mitigation, and Sales Increase. And I believe there is a Return on Relationship (ROR) fostered by all brand relevant content and communication… simply put the value that is accrued by a person or brand due to nurturing a relationship.

The Art of Branding by Guy Kawasaki

From www.slideshare.net - June 10, 2014 10:57 AM
AlGonzalezinfo's insight:

Good tips from thought leader @GuyKawasaki. 


Here are 3 highlights:


  • Seize the high ground. Establish your brand on positive attributes like “making meaning,” “doing good,” “changing the world,” and “making people happy”--not doing in your competition.

  • Create one message.  It's hard enough to create and communicate one branding message; however, many companies try to establish more than one because they are afraid of being niched and want the “entire” market. “Our computer is for Fortune 500 companies. And, oh yes, it's also for consumers to use a home.” Face it, Volvo can't equal safety and sexiness, and Toyota can't equal economical and luxuriousness.

  • Strive for humanness.  Great brands achieve a high level of humaness. They speak to you as an individual, not as part of a market. It's “my iPod.” “My Macintosh.” “My Harley Davidson.” “My bottle of Coke.”
