CORE
CONTRIBUTORS

At the core of our innovation practice is a simple idea: Knowing how people’s expectations are changing lets us capture new market opportunities, take smart risks and spur innovation.  

We start by uncovering clues. Clues are data points, great stories, quotes and pictures that shift our understanding of what people want right now. We find them in practices around the world and in the technologies, brands, and experiences that doctors and patients encounter in their every day lives. 

Over time, those clues combine and connect to reveal trends, a new kind of inspiration for creating experiences in the moments before our customers realize they need them. And, months and years before our competitors realize the same thing.

in getting every single detail of a campaign right before launching it to the world. They used focus groups, quant studies, intercepts and more.

Now big brands are increasingly borrowing a long-trusted trick from startups: in-market testing of incomplete products.

The approach randomly divides an audience into two groups and offers each group a different option. Those options could be large or small—from entirely different homepages to a tweak in a banner ad headline. The option that earns more of the desired behavior wins. At least until the next test.

Companies whose conversion rates have improved over the previous 12 months are performing on average 50% more tests than those companies whose conversion rates have not improved.

campaigns, he charged his digital team with one big goal: turn the website’s visitors into subscribers—scoring an email address that would let the marketing machine kick into high gear.

To maximize that desired behavior, they broke every page into its component parts to determine how each could be most effective, changing images and wording on buttons to test their hunches.
Had the team listened to those hunches, to instinct, the sign-up rate would have slipped to 70% of the baseline. Instead the A/B testing brought it to 140%. In fact, they estimated that a full 4 million of the 13 million addresses in the campaign’s email list, and some $75 million in money raised, resulted from these careful A/B experiments.

choose all of the above. Why limit the options we give to consumers when they can better choose what they want? If five headlines appeal to the brand, data can rule that final decision by running all five by our audience, testing them live to see which earns the most action.

This revolution in research is turning traditional decision-making on its head. Taking the call away from the HiPPO—”highest-paid person’s opinion”—and giving it to the people who pay us, our customers.

to produce. It starts with a creative brief and concepts and ends with a very choreographed placement in mass media. That’s why even seemingly of-the-moment advertising like Walt Disney’s famous post-Super Bowl “I’m Going to Disney World!” commercials were created well in advance of the big game. The spots themselves had to be to the television stations days before kickoff.

Social media took a big step toward changing that model. No longer did advertisers have to buy television time or reserve print space to reach customers. That middle man of mass advertising could be entirely eliminated.

But it’s a new kind of collaboration between agency and client that’s really made instant advertising possible.

agencies at the ready to seize opportunity. Oreo’s famous Twitter ad during the Super Bowl power outage took just five minutes to conceive and produce because creative and strategy teams were on site, working together. It published quickly and was retweeted more than 15,000 times in the first 14 hours because client teams were on hand, ready to review and approve just as quickly.

Nissan won over the Internet with a similar rapid response, joining the worldwide excitement about the new royals and reaching hundreds of thousands of drivers doing it.

context: being part of a conversation or event people are already excited about and are actively looking online for people (and brands) that feel the same way.

There may be no annual event for which the fanboy excitement is more palpable than Apple Live. It’s where the new iProducts are revealed and the gossip leading up to it is dwarfed only by the flurry of online conversation during it. Samsung took big advantage in 2014 by creating instant ads that made fun of Apple's glitchy live video stream and compared new iPhone features to ones it had made standard years before.

ad of all time was “The Force” for Volkswagen. You remember it—the cute kid in the Darth Vader costume who believed he was opening the car door with The Force, promoting the remote start feature on the new model.

It was the most shared until the Dark Empire fell to yogurt. Dannon bested the spot with trackvertising —a spot that is both a music video and an ad. They launched an Activia spot, titled “La La La (Brazil 2014)” featuring Shakira, during the World Cup.

At last count, it had been shared 5,409,192 times across Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere, (beating out “The Force” at 5,254,667 shares). The bigger spread is in the number of views. “The Force” earned 60 million.
“La La La” is at over 330 million and counting.

Kia recently launched even more brand-centric trackvertising with Maroon 5’s single “Animal,” and with Lady Gaga’s track “Applause.” H&M teamed up with Beyonce, Fiat with Arianna; and Evian with Rizzle Kicks.

Delta decided to rethink that fine print and make the required safety demonstration fun. Not just for the sake of entertainment, but to really earn people’s attention. Their new in-flight videos include their charismatic president, triplets, a few comedians, and even a friendly alien we know as Alf.

go with their questions about life and health? 90% of people turn to the Web first for information about consumer products or services and 72% of people treat their health questions the same way.

But, only 13% of them choose our product websites for answers. We do a little better with doctors: 82% are asking Google for help every week and 21% get some of their information from our product sites.

That attention gap has a lot to do with our current approach to content. Our ads and websites are all about the brand and not at all about our customers. Consumers want more than those product messages— and they’re finding it elsewhere.

Consumers are hit by over 5 trillion impressions a year, leaving consumers feeling bombarded by, what a recent Microsoft study called, “irrelevant information overload.”

brands— from American Express to Merck—are using content marketing to fundamentally change that model and earn more of their time and attention.

They’re throwing away the megaphone of push marketing that interrupts doctor and patient alike with yet another commercial message. And replacing it with what people are actively looking for: compelling, authentic stories that create real meaning and provide real value.

In the American Express OPEN Forum that means 200 experts giving ~
2 million people per month ideas, advice, and connections that will grow their small businesses and increase their use of American Express products. For Merck it means self-screeners, personal planning tools and deep content designed to help people living with chronic disease stick with treatment and lifestyle change. Or, said another way: Be more loyal customers.

IT’S THE KINGDOM

When people first go online looking for healthcare answers, they have one big question: How Much Does It Suck (HMDIS)? They want to know what to expect, what side effects might be possible, how much will it cost, and when they might actually start to feel better.

They’ll return later with much more personal questions to understand if how they’re feeling is normal or if there isn’t something more they could be doing. The healthcare brands that are making the deepest connections are delivering three kinds of content to support them along their very personal journeys:

Information: What happens if you don’t take your medicine, facts about how the drug works in your body, about what life on therapy will be like.
Inspiration: Disease makes people feel isolated and alone. Bring them inspiration from people who are dealing with the same decisions and disease.
Innovation: Curate and create apps, experiences, and products that enable more empowered patients and physicians + better living with diseases.

the next Big Lifestyle Brand that fans would not only buy, but make part of their own identities and lives, we’re seeing a shift to a less assuming approach. More and more brands are turning the attention away from themselves, letting the customer be the story and simply pointing to their small part in it.

of Abercrombie and Fitch’s traditional logo-focused apparel line in the US. Teens who once sought brand names have shifted to fast fashion that is cheaper and unmarked, from retailers like Forever 21 and H&M (Hennes & Mauritz). They want to put together their own individual styles, not emblazon themselves with a brand.

It’s not just teens. Brands ranging from Louis Vuitton to Michael Kors to Coach have started to limit logo’ed merchandise. Once considered among their most must-have items, products bearing logos have been broadly relegated to the discount bin.

campaign in the world? It’s Unilever. And their ultimate ambition is to reach 1 billion people. At the center of the effort is the Lifebuoy soap brand. Unilever focuses the brand’s humble efforts on reducing the number of children who die from diarrhea and pneumonia. They do it by telling stories about families, not about brands.

And by taking action in communities. Like, stamping 5 million roti with a soap-washing reminder at Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, India, where 100 million visitors pass through. They’ve also created new ways for villages to connect around better hygiene, like a clever jump pump designed to bring children together or a simple test to show children how clean their “clean hands” really are. These humble efforts work because soap saves lives. Selling more soap builds bottom lines.

It’s a double bottom-line approach to social business that creates opportunities for big consumer brands to act like service brands, expanding their reach and changing their reputations. Coca Cola and GE are following suit.

Lay’s made one of the most memorable moves, with a bold new Uber-assisted approach to sampling. Consumers could log on to try one of the new potato chip flavors and—with the right code—have UberRush quickly deliver them a basket filled with the chips, two sandwiches from Katz's Deli, fruit and two bottles of Aquafina water (owned by the same parent company).

Retailers, universities, and the reservation system Open Table have partnered with Uber to deliver everything from mattresses to dinners. Expect more surprise services in the year to come.

These early integrations point to a new fast-mover expectation. The first to make the partnership wins headlines and hearts.

Across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and more, Amazon users will be able to watch the best of Sam, via Amazon Instant Video, Prime Instant Video, and FreeTime Unlimited, paired with ready-to-buy merchandise like toys, ebooks, games, apparel, footwear, and lunch boxes.

Video is a critical part of that move. Every day, more than 100 million Internet users watch an online video—40% from mobile devices.

Advertisers are following suit. US brands are expected to spend $6 billion on video ads this year, with growth to 15% of their ad budgets by 2017. Leading CMOs are quick to point out that number will just be the average. Some brands will be spending up to one-third in video.

any cable network. It is their TV. The challenge for brands is that traditional methods of advertising often don't translate well on mobile — both because of the different screen size and the user expectation.

Eric Schmidt, Google chairman, said it best: “I thought that YouTube was like TV, but it isn’t. I was wrong. TV is one-way. YouTube talks back. TV means reach. YouTube means engagement.”

People use phones differently than computers. The bar is even higher to make content quick and seamless, augmenting—not interrupting—the experience.

proclaim that banner ads are dead (again). Instead, they’re changing and evolving to be more native in more places.

For example, Google’s new ad units are designed to overcome the limitations of the small screen and deliver a truly branded experience—mostly based on user interaction (there’s one that’s a little more, shall we say, not optional).

One is focused on expanding the reach of their popular video ads on the TrueView platform by taking it from gaming apps to all apps. Their approach sets the bar high for brand and platform alike: advertisers only pay when a user chooses not to skip their ad. And, of course, consumers only engage with ads that make sense on the device, at the moment, and in the media they’ve chosen.

with its clever iBeacon devices. The small, cheap Bluetooth transmitters can talk to apps on user’s phones when the phones comes into range, prompting offers, content, or interactions.

Beyond the iBeacon, all sorts of technologies —like NFC and GPS—make distributing local advertising content to users, via wireless channels such as mobile devices, easy. And when we say local, we mean hyper-local, within no more than 100 meters.

But proximity marketing can change any number of advertising experiences from billboards to baseball. In fact, it’s already changing Major League Baseball. The organization was one of the first to deploy iBeacons on a broad scale in 28 ballparks around the US. They let users check in to games to get special offers that recognize their location in the park and are customized based on offers they’ve used before. They’re entering phase 2 in 2015 with even more content and interactive features.

As with any big shift, the jury is still out on the ultimate fate of this emerging trend. Operational complexities and opt-in requirements could stand in the way of fast upscaling. And the quality of first experiences could dramatically impact the rate of consumer uptake and confidence.

But, right now, this is the next frontier of advertising: interactions delivered only in the moment they’re most likely to be relevant.
