"Social media campaigns need objectives"
"In terms of objectives – clients are often going back to the sort of core business drivers that all marketing should be measured against – sales, reduced customer service costs and more, with the reassurance that these too can now be measured. There’s a general sense of decisiveness – less of the testing, trying out, growing Facebook fan numbers for no good reason – and more real plans to make social work the way it should. Tactical campaigns are still happening, of course – but they are increasingly framed by a larger strategy. The idea that content is king (that hackneyed phrase) is being replaced by the idea that content can only be important if you have a plan behind it."

"Food for thought"
"We tend to think of brands as making statements or promises. But it is more stimulating to think of brands as asking questions. Unilever’s Axe, for instance asked: ‘Young man, do you want to get laid?’"-- Adam Morgan
