Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang | Social Media, Web Marketing
A major challenge facing marketers today is the coordination and integration of the "right" story – message, positioning, value proposition – with the "right" creative, and the "right" portfolio of touch points. This task has become increasingly difficult with the proliferation of new media. The “holistic” impression one wants to leave in the minds of consumers across the growing number of new, traditional, owned, earned, and consumer-produced media, contrasts sharply with the corporate reality where each of these touch points is typically the domain of a separate silo (marketing, advertising, customer service, etc.). The overall result is often messaging, execution and delivery strategies that are fragmented across touch points, and potentially confusing to consumers. The Wharton Future of Advertising (“FoA”) Program has proposed developing the position of Network Orchestrator as one potential solution.
