MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN CONVERSATIONAL MEDIA

With experience from past projects and points taken from Joseph Jaffe's new book, Join the Conversation, I've broken down the marketing opportunities within conversational media into the following:

  1. Low Engagement: Advertise in the Conversation (Banner Ads)
  2. Medium Engagement: Catalyze the Conversation (Sponsorships, Product Pages, Contests)
  3. High Engagement: Start the Conversation (Community-Extended Content, Community-Created Content)
Conversations are brilliantly more complex than this. This breakdown, however, should make a good starting point for new marketers who have just begun to experiment with social media as well as to encourage current marketers to see the engagement benefits of thinking outside-the-banner.

For campaigns with the right resources and timing, an integrated plan might include low engagement banners advertising a medium engagement point-of-influence which prompts a high engagement response.
