I wonder how long it will take us to get our arms around this avalanche of insight. Probably longer than most of us think, and marketers that jump too quickly to data are going to be disappointed (while lifehackers that use the data are going to continue to have a huge advantage).

I’ve met with several advertising executive honchos in recent weeks, from agencies large and small. The topic? No surprise. Social Media. These advertising execs are gung-ho about Social Media; it is generating cool, surprising and lucrative new opportunities for their agencies. But as the “campaign” becomes the “commonplace,” challenges rear up…

This morning, in an open letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, 24 CEOs and founders representing the world's leading Internet and technology companies -- including Facebook, Sony, Amazon, eBay, Twitter, and Google -- threw their support behind the effort to protect an open Internet. In the letter, the execs express their strong support for the Chairman's plan to begin a process to consider adopting rules that would preserve and promote consumers' open and robust access to the Internet, explaining: An open Internet fuels a competitive and efficient marketplace, where consumers make the ultimate choices about which products succeed and which fail.

Two is better than one Research has shown that display ad exposure can lift consumer response to paid search. Data from comScore, GroupM and M80 indicates searchers are also more likely to keep a brand in mind if they have seen a combination of paid search ads and social media. The research firms found a 19-percentage-point lift in searches on the campaign brand among users who saw social media relevant to the brand in addition to the campaign’s paid search ads compared with those who were exposed only to the search placements. And there was a further 13-point lift among those exposed to social media influenced directly by the brand.

Om vi nu utgår från webbnärvaro för organisationer och företag så anser jag att det allra viktigaste är att webbnärvaron stöder affären, att fokus är att bidra till verksamhetens övergripande mål. “Affären” kan nånstans definieras som organisationens affärsidé, dess existensberättigande. Allt för ofta diskuteras webbnärvaron ur ett isolerat kommunikationsperspektiv, utan att integreras och styras mot verksamhetens egentliga mål och mening.
