Modify culture in legacy organization, is hard, are you making your employees part of change process or partners? Employees feel they are value added contributors to the process. Cultural change from customer touch up, as from leadership down.

Brand images in their mind
Success now and in the future where is she going to go
Unique and different, what is special
Best way to manifest through images and associations

Listening to consumers, wanting to reach product directly, so multichannel retailer.
Online, retail, catalog, etc.

Investing Early stage disruptive consumer facing brands

Flywheel, boutique, 7 studios
Ecosystem work share spare for millennialist, we work.

20 years ago shopping was #1 activity, now it’s not in the top 10 activity, no longer the passion at it was. Shopping 1 or 2 of customer activities in China.

Shelly Lazarus, Ogilvy
Brand single most important company asset.

Do brands need agencies? Agencies can hire different people, is size of agency, more creatives, source talent.

VIDEO Dove, drawing, beauty You are more beautiful then you think

Started from UNILEVER survey, Question, Do you think you a re beautiful? only 2-4% agree. Big viral, not product based but it’s gone to be a point of view.

Algorhythm – the future of brands Mitch JOEL, Mirium Agency

Three Little Pigs

1.
2. Innovate
3. To transact

Who knows snapchat logo?
Image based
Mobile first, i.e. Better then desktop
It’s social
Snapchat shows 8bn videos a day so does FB, if FB bought Snapchat they would serve up 20Bn videos away which is YouTube numbers. That’s why FB offered them $3Bn in 2013
The internet like Google is like an elephant, it never forgets.

What do customers really need to own?

Netflix
75mm users
100b hours
No more hard drives

Oh yeah and this…..

Paying for access vs ownership
Music streaming services exceed physical ownership

Technology has removed technology from technology

There isn’t an instruction manual for your iPhone, iPad, etc.

Technology easy to use, no instruction Manual needed.

Mobile has to be the ultimate experience

Mobile primary and PC ancillary device.

….it’s the little things…the create big changes,…think about how you distribute over content now.

The new revenue models over campaigns

Think one screen over which screen.

Think about really making an impression over impressions

How to Market the Smart Home Donna Hoffman, George Washington School of Business.

“We have to go out to dinner the refrigerator isn’t speaking to the stove” cartoon caption.

Setting the Stage
Internet phase 1, Internet of information, “Noboby knows your a dog”
Internet phase 2, Social, Internet of People, “on the Internet everybody knows your a dog”
Internet phase 3, Post Social consumer experience of the assemblage, On the Internet of things nobody knows you’re a fridge.

Collection of everyday objects connected in the cloud and communicate with other devices.

Internet of things I going to be huge
250,000,000 connected cars
Samsung 100% IoT by 2020
$7.5b investment and 900 deals since 2010

Smart home has an adoption problem
16% own a connected device 4% own two or more.
6% use smart home tech
4% own one device
only 30% expected to by smart thermostats in next 5 years
Much lower rate of adoption for other smart home devices

3 barriers to smart home adoption

87% never heard of, don’t really know what it is

Price, security, privacy, and a loss of control, consumers are freaked out.

Why? Product value and performance, Value proposition missing. Device use is challenging.

Cracking the value code
Focus on individual products and use cases

Value is created by the interaction among devices

Smart home identity and consumer experience

Need a new framework.

New consumer experiences are emerging from interactions

As assemblage of heterogeneour parts

Interaction of entities greater then sum of the parts.

Interacts happen in pairs IF THEN
Consumer device
Device consumer
Device device

Use cases dominate current smart home marketing

Use cases don’t explain what can emerge

Awareness of energy usage
Safety and security
Control and convenience

My house really cares about me.

Interactions exchange of paired capabilities
One component pair with another

Home and consumer develop emergent capacities

Emergent smart home capacities
Emergent Consumer Capacities

Seven important I sites
A new Framework for COnsumer Experience in the IoT
Seven insights

1. Market from bottom up interactions, not just he top down, consumer create their own bottom up interactions

2. Everything you already understand, but more
Smart home is like the early iPad.

3. Encourage habitual repetition

4. Focus on predictable ambient interactions to build trust

5. Routines also need to be de-stabilized
Market formation and adoption
Consumer initial destabilization
Market initiated destabilization
Disruptive external destabilization

6. Pay Attention to emergent individual smart home identities

7. Personalization with Trump privacy
Benefits so great then will trade of privacy concerns.

Challenge
More units, speed adoption.

Amazon, Echo, i.e. Alexa early smart home device, use Amazon DASH, etc.

Toys YouTubers, large YouTube audiences, need emotional, authentic and message which can breath through. Nickelodeon using influencers. Content to experience in a game format and then watch.

Kids watching kids play video games. Gen Z likes surprises. A 9 year old is till a 9 year old.

Authenticity and transparency and real

Not new features, new parodyme

Earlier then ALEXANDER Graham Bell, strings with cups,
