Saturday, March 12thFlip the FunnelJoseph Jaffe (@jaffejuice)

• Jaffe asks, Is the funnel wrong?

• Current model: chase strangers and spam people – no after sale support.

• Marketing is not a campaign, it’s a commitment.Funnel should get bigger over time.

• 75% of Zappos sales comes from returning customers

• Get out of the way and let consumers talk – encourage testimonials and ratings.

• Ideal situation: a product that sells itself.

• Who owns customer experience? Marketing, Customer Service or PR?

• Auto business suggestion: during a lease, the loner for the last scheduled service appointment should be the latest model.

• Invest in human budget vs. production budget.

Retention is the new acquisition.

Keynote: Seth Priebatsch (@Seth Priebatsch)

“The last decade was the decade of social. It took connections between friends, family, and coworkers and put them online. It’s called Facebook. The social layer traffics in connections.

The game layer is the next decade of human interaction.”

1. Schools: Near-perfect game eco-systems.

2. Customer Acquisition: Free Lunch + Communal Game Play + Countdown + Email List = Groupon.

3. Loyalty: Society extends ownership.

4. LBS → Acquisition: Big partners, big money, loosen the rules and rewards.

Sunday, March 13thRadical Openness: Growing TED by Giving it AwayJune Cohen (@junecohen)

“The natural next step is to open up content to the developer community…Every time we’ve allowed people to contribute, people have surprised and humbled and delighted us…

We know we don’t have the monopology on good ideas.”

• Mission flipped; From “ultimate dinner party” to non profit model with one goal: to spread ideas.

Sunday, March 13thBend Over? Surprise! Agencies Are Screwing YouLucia Mancuso (@lulula) and Meghan Warby (@withoutayard)

• Educate clients on Social Media Strategy and train them to maintain it well.

• Help clients create content.

• Brands knows the brand best.

• Social Media Measurement should be based on how many people come back after the campaign.

• Rock one channel – don’t suck at them all.

Sunday, March 13thThe Art of EnchantmentGuy Kawasaki (@GuyKawasaki)

• Likeability - smile, equal dress, shake it. Achieve trustworthiness - default to yes.• Conduct a pre-mortem, analyze a hypothetical failure.• Enchant all the influencers.• Invoke reciprocation - let people pay you back.• Customize the introduction, use salient points and pictures to illustrate ideas.• Sell your dream. Engage fast, many and often.• Prototype quickly – deliver bad news early.• Perfect scenario: Apple’s product, Virgin’s likeability, Zappos’ trustworthiness.

Key Points:• TV/Movies aim to please everyone. In digital, each site is like a different channel. • Internet community is more savvy to product placement and advertising.• Learn to find the art in your science.• Ask yourself, are you saying something unique to the web? Unique to yourself? Who is your audience?• You can say what you want about women gamers and women in tech. But, this is what I do - I lead by example.

Quotes from The Thank You Economy:

"People embraced social media because communicating makes people happy; it's what we do. It's why we carved pictures into rocks. It's why we used smoke signals. It's why ink won. And if someone ever develops a tool that allows us to communicate telepathically, we'll be all over that, too. How businesses will adapt to that kind of innovation, I have no idea. But they will, I'm sure. At least the ones I am associated with will."

“In the 1940’s, we’d have found out about the progress of our neighbor’s new wall papering project or model during run-ins at the bus stop or the Piggly Wiggly. In 1990 we might not have known about these projects at all. And in 2010, we cannot only know about them, we can see pictures and video chronicling their progress and get information about the retailers and service providers involved.”

Tuesday, March 15thReal-time Marketing in a Connected World Adam Lavelle (@ALavelle), Angela LoSasso (@AngelaLoSasso), Siobhan Quinn (@siobhanquinn)

• Social shopping will be driven more and more by your networks purchasing behavior.

• Owned, influenced and observed content strategy mix required.

• Brands need to develop a toolkit for their strategy first, then execute in a real-time context.

• Consumer opt in is key to building trust in real-time marketing.

• Authenticity is key to humanizing the brand. • Humanize the brand. Customers are much more forgiving about issues as long they know you are working to fix problems.

Today, brands, media and audiences are equal participants in an ecosystem where each party is both a content creator and distributor.
