“Traditional marketing talks at people. Content marketing talks with them.” -Doug Kessler

Social media today has recently published an article about the 3 keys to killer Content Strategy. The article looks at the rule of the 3 C's of content. Is it consistent? Is it customised? And is it constructive?

Today's online world is so fast paced that to successfully get our brand image out there we need to be consistent with the brand image across all online platforms understanding the differences between and purpose of each platforms. Content needs to be constructive in that it has strategic relevance and impacts and leaves an impression on the target audience. 

My favourite acronym is KISS (keep it simple silly) which compliments the 3 C's really well. After the content is consistent, customised and constructive it really needs to be simple so our target audience understands it quickly and effectively. 

Take a look at the article here and don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts!

I have recently finished reading Russel Howcroft's 'When it's right to be wrong' and highly recommend the read. I was captivated not only by his writing, experience and insight into the communications industry but by the layout of the book. Similar to The Gruen Transfer by Jon Casimir, each page of the book was different and drew on aspects discussed on the page as inspiration for the graphics.

Without giving too much away, I have to tell you about the part that I was most intrigued in. Throughout the book Russel Howcroft discusses the term ‘ideas’ in all forms. In one section he states that ‘The idea itself has no value’. Russel continues to talk about how value is only added to an idea when it is created, invested in and enters the marketplace. When first reading this I had to question the idea before having to agree with him.

The book is filled with interesting thought provoking content which I know I will be reading again and again. Have a read and I would love to know the thoughts and ideas you have created since reading!

Nearly finished my double degree!

Feeling wonderful with only one assessment left in my double degree! I just completed an assessment for a unit called Digital Media Literacy at the University of Canberra. This unit looked into digital media technologies and how they fit into and impact the communication industry.

My last assessment for this unit was to create a Storify based on a particular topic and comment on the discourse surrounding the topic. For my topic I chose the #wrongminewrongplace hashtag and gathered discourse off sites such as Twitter, Facebook and media outlets such as The Namoi Valley Independent and ABC Rural. The main aspect I found interesting surrounding the discourse was that majority of participants on social media surrounding the topic were against the Shenhua mine being approved on the Liverpool Plains, NSW. It is also interesting to consider the large impact social media has had on this topic in letting individuals speak there opinions via the internet. As the conversation continues the hashtag is increasingly being used. See for your self on Twitter!

If you have any questions or feedback I would love to hear from you!

"Facebook is rapidly becoming the dominant news publishing and advertising platform. It’s cheap, simple, ubiquitous and very targeted: almost everybody now uses it to expose their own lives and to read about other people’s lives. As a result, Facebook knows almost everything about everyone. It is easily the most powerful marketing tool in history." -Alan Kohler

I have pulled this photograph of my Twitter to share with you. About a month ago I created my Aunties yummy Arancini recipe with thanks to the Kennedy Family for their Crushed Tomatoes!

The SPC #MyFamilyCan is one of the best campaigns I have seen promoting Australian farmers, Australian produce and the Australian SPC Ardmona Company. SPC Created the campaign in conjunction with Leo Burnett Melbourne. For more information on this campaign thus far, take a look at my SPC Pinterest board here! https://www.pinterest.com/maddiepaige0172/spc-ardmona-myfamilycan/

So far the campaign has been highly successful! Take a look at the case study for SPC #MyFamilyCan on Best Ads here: http://www.bestadsontv.com/ad/70896/SPC-MyFamilyCan-Case-Study

"Research* shows consumers care about where their products are made and grown, but can struggle to spot them. The ‘genuine Aussie’ initiative by the not-for-profit Australian Made Campaign aims to help change that."

“We hope this campaign will help prompt consumers to look for the logo at point-of-sale.”
