“Brands are held to a higher level of accountability; they’re not fictional constructs. Instead they’re representations of the value, personality and culture of the business. If the brand doesn’t ring true with the customer experience, it’s equity is at stake ..... social media has dialled up transparency.”

- Charity CEO on digital literacy
“People from their own experience are able to utilise digital within their own role – even if ‘digital’ isn’t in their job title. They are able to deliver digitally within the context of the company objectives.”

Leadership support is necessary – but not sufficient ....
... they need to understand too
Entrenched cultures and attitudes hold us back
Realism is crucial: it’s not a cure all and it’s not free!
User experience should be the heart
Creating new digital silos won’t help
Digital managers need trust, influence and budget
Digital literacy is a core competency
22Friday, 13 July 12
Collaborative and open culture
Living the values
User-centred
Customer experience drives decisions
Digital integral to the experience - not add-on
Digital is a normal part of the marcomms mix
Social media is a tool used by all
