Live Blogging at WIMST Day 3

Day 3 of Winning Internet Marketing Strategies & Tactics. Today's theme will be Web 2.0: the Social Web and blogging. We'll be having applying the classic case method AIM has been known for in the morning session and a very interesting blogger round table in the afternoon.

As always, you can follow me in Twitter or look for #wimst to get a glimpse of what we're doing here. :)

Yesterday was a very rich session where Anton shared a lot of insights about online branding and I discussed about connecting to your target customers online, with a very different slant on it. I'm sure the discussions today will be equally great.

--

BTW, the can groups are running their Google AdWords campaigns now. Hopefully we will see some results a little later.

--

Recurring theme again: A lot of clients still don't "trust" the new media-- they can't see the ROI of internet marketing. This is from insights from media buyers & planners.

--

I'm wondering why, at this day & age, a lot companies in the Philippines, particularly FMCG's, still "fear" the internet-- or is it skepticism? Skepticism on the effectiveness of internet marketing?

--

Good insight: A lot of companies use traditional media as benchmark for internet media, thus it is put in a not so good light. Perhaps if we sell internet marketing as a totally different animal, then success could be better.

--

Hard data is very important! It seems it's one of the things that will change the game. Like attributing traffic to sales, even for FMCG's.

--

Remember: the sooner you are on the internet, the better it is for your brand.

--

Insight: Internet Marketing is not a magic bullet.

--

We're now discussing a case. It's about online communities. Nice site: http://www.myparentsjoinedfacebook.com.

--

Anton is now talking about blogging. :) Thanks to bloggers who are here:
--
We're watching viral videos from YouTube. :) Funny!

We're almost done. The blogger round table was a very enriching activity. Keep posted for the blog post on it and photos.
