Personal Web sites, discussion board comments, digital clips were the first signs of the user-generated media trend. We have all heard the term new media too many times. But alternative media, content generated by opinion leaders online, is changing the information landscape as we know it. Blogs are the becoming increasingly recognized as the ultimate user-generated media tools. We get travel advice, career insights and technology tips among other things from these alternative sources.
The question is who do we trust more? The columnist in our daily paper, the newsanchor, our friend in the office or the blog writer that gets a lot of comments and traffic? Which one is the more credible source? People are gravitating towards the source that has insider's information... And if blogs get the scoop and publish before others, they boost their credibility as alternative media sources.

Word of mouth marketing emerges as the dominant new
marketing technique, according to a survey done by CMO
magazine.
When the survey asked marketers "which of the following
emerging marketing techniques are you currently using or
planning to use within the next six months," 69.85 percent
said "customer influence via word of mouth." That was
second only to "email marketing" with 69.85 percent
(respondents could check multiple techniques).
Word of mouth looks even more pervasive when other word of
mouth-related responses are added in. Blogs were cited by
22.45 percent, "stealth marketing" by 14.55 percent, and
"determined detractors" by 2.91 percent

Ongeacht leeftijd of functieniveau zien Nederlandse reclameprofessionals een gouden toekomst voor buzzmarketing weggelegd. Uit onderzoek naar het kennisniveau van reclamebureaus over het onderwerp blijkt 80% in de toekomst buzzmarketing te willen integreren in campagnes. Ruim de helft van de 60 onderzochte bureaus werkt voor bedrijven met meer dan 500 medewerkers. Opvallend was dat bij controlevragen over de definitie van buzzmarketing meer dan 60% van de respondenten een fout antwoord gaf. Reclamebureaus zien deze vorm van communicatie dus wel zitten, maar zijn nog niet voldoende geinformeerd over de beschrijving en mogelijkheden.
Interessant maar onduidelijk
93% van de ondervraagden had van het onderwerp gehoord en 80% zag kansen om buzzmarketing in te zetten in toekomstige campagnes. In de vragenlijst werd tevens gevraagd om een keuze te maken uit drie verschillende campagnes, bedrijven en viral marketing initiatieven, waarvan slechts één daadwerkelijk een buzztechniek of -middel was. Opvallend veel foute antwoorden werden gegeven: respectievelijk 69% (buzzcampagnes), 79% (bedrijven) en 74% (virale campagnes).
Bijna alle respondenten (97%) gaven aan meer te willen leren over buzzmarketing.

Marketing PR goed voor waarde merk
In de zoektocht van marketeers naar beter bereik en méér effect voor minder geld, komt Marketing PR steeds vaker in beeld. Euro RSCG Bikker heeft in een recent onderzoek voor het eerst een link gelegd tussen de effectiviteit van Marketing PR en brand equity. Hieruit blijkt dat de inzet van Marketing PR - het genereren van free publicity met een commercieel doel – een positieve invloed heeft op de waarde van een merk.

Via oud-collega Chris Colby op de Netcoms weblog een mooie viral case:
"With so many brands experimenting with viral marketing, it requires a combination of great idea and execution to stand out from the crowd. Saab have done this with the surprisingly detailed and addictive Race Against Time."

Andy Sernovitz (WOMMA CEO) delivers three new realities for today's marketer:
New reality #1: People are already talking about us. Are we going to join the conversation? There's no choice here. Ignore word of mouth and take the hits, or engage and turn it in your favor. The train has left the station.
New reality #2: Advertising can't cover for bad products and services. People talk about you because they like or don't like what we do. We used to be able to cover our mistakes with a bombardment of high-power advertising. But the balance has tipped. The weight of consumer-shared opinion is greater than our advertising power. We need to make sure that customer opinion is positive.
New reality #3: Talk to your customers. Respond to their concerns. Participate in the conversation. Keep people happy (something we should be doing anyway).

Commlog en Creative Facts signaleren begin september dat de Nederlandse communicatiebranche achter loopt in vergelijking met onze Ooster- en Westerburen. Hoewel er al enkele gevestigde namen zijn MarketingFacts, MOLblog(DutchCowboys) en Frank-ly valt het aantal Nederlandse marketing/communicatie weblogs tegen. Bovengenoemde weblogs zijn van oorsprong (of ontwikkelen zich meer naar) gespecialiseerd: online, reclame, marketing en communicatie/voorlichting (softe PR? pull PR?). Marketing-PR (push PR?) heb ik niet teruggevonden. Dat is dan ook de insteek van dit weblog. Binnenkort meer.

Ashland Addison Florist Co., a 73-year old family-owned
florist based in Chicago, recently "shared some love" (and
got people talking) in a fun, good-natured stunt. On a busy
street in the Loop, the florist gave out bouquets
containing five roses to curious onlookers. Each bouquet
came with a printed coupon of instructions that read:
"Share the love!" and asked that each rose be shared with
five other people to "make new friends and share goodwill
to neighbors." Not only was the story picked up by local
media, but it also sent many post-vacation depressed
workers in to their offices happy with a smile on their
faces.

Creatief gebruik van medium of message leidt tot buzz: Agrarier Pieter DeHond bedacht een nieuw medium.
Viral marketing, like a good joke, often seems to work best when it’s at someone’s expense. Thus, we see great promise in New Media Maze’s viral effort supporting the DVD release of The Ring Two in the U.K. Nefarious pranksters are invited to visit 7DaysLeft.com and enter a friend’s e-mail address and cell-phone number. The site then sends the friend an e-mail, inviting him or her to view the Ring Two trailer online. As the video plays, the friend’s cell phone rings, and a voice on the other end whispers “seven days”—which, if the friend has seen the Ring movies, might just prompt a soiling of the friend’s trousers.

The Department for Transport in the UK is starting a teen pedestrian campaign with a viral asset shot entirely on a mobile phone. The clip is showing a group of friend along a street and one is guy is knocked down by a car when crossing the road.
I found the aesthetics with the mobile phone camera very authentic and apropriate for the target group. Watch the video.
