Presented at the DiG Festival, NSW, 2013.
Digital is hot right now. But as brands and businesses of all shapes and sizes rush into the digital domain, they bring with them the baggage of old marketing and PR practices. This brave new digital world is a fundamentally different space. Welcome to the "Consumerverse" - an upside-down, inside-out universe where analytics are revealing, on the one hand, the hit and miss randomness of broadcast messaging, and on the other, the growing importance of guided engagement-laden conversation designed to reach the consumers sphere of attraction.
To succeed in this new Consumerverse, brands need to understand the new physics of attraction and design their business, communications and customer experience accordingly.

18. Constellation Research
calls this the
Consumerisation of IT.
Big data, social, mobile,
cloud and unified
communications are
converging with the
Connected Consumer
at the centre.

22. Fragmentation
creates silos not
synergies
The marketing funnel
assumes a passive
customer
The next-gen
customer experience
is owned from the
outside in
Next-gen customers
make purchases in
their own time frames
Purchase decisions
occur before
consumers reach the
marketing funnel
Trust is the currency

28. In my mind, disruption looks like ...
http://nasa.gov
We call it
DISRUPTION but its
really a new form of
GRAVITY with the
consumer at the
centre of
everything.
30. Disruption is the New BAU
Within years of introduction, Apples iOS had almost entirely displaced the once
dominant Symbian OS from Nokia. Android now claims a majority foothold in the
mobile market.
31. Early digital adopters have accelerated their
dominance in one market and are using that
positioning to disrupt others.
32. This same pattern will play out repeatedly in the years ahead
as digital convergence creatively destroys one market on its
way to establishing a new one.
This is the pattern of DISRUPTION as USUAL.
33. We must embrace disruption as a precondition
for innovation and business success.

36. Participate with purpose
Not just about being online (creating, sharing and
distributing various types of content)
Beyond content to the realm of SERVICE
Fulfil a role or purpose that aligns with the needs and
aspirations of Connected Consumers
PURPOSE attracts
37. Be connected and connectable
Consumers dont care about your strategy, your
mobile platform or network
Consumers care about access and availability any
channel, any time in a consumable form
If you are not connected and connectable then you are
NOT RELEVANT
38. Campaigns are DEAD
Businesses are addicted to communicating through
campaigns
They are time boxed and work from an inside-out point
of view
Find flexible, micro approach to campaigns that map to
the buyers journey
Work across digital and non-digital touchpoints
Strategically plan comms by buyer journey
