(only a little bit) Client Logo - Add in master slide What I am going to talk about today: Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) The way people interact with web technologies is heading towards a major shift, where we move away from ‘Always On’ to ‘Right On Time’. This idea has interesting implications for how we create and run campaigns. Client Logo - Add in master slide but first, a little about me What the heck is a ‘product strategist’!? Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide i look at clients business problems and solve them through creating mobile and digital experiences Sounds like a good and fun job right?

Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide having failed wonderfully there I of course started another mobile business, Moblog, the first web based consumer mobile blogging platform This was good timing (and a good time), 2002 until 2005 Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide in 2009 I won the London 2012 Olympics public art commission and created something called Bus-Tops This sucked up 3 years of my life and my health = worst ever in my life Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide here’s what the Bus-Tops project looked like There were 30 of these across London, some still remain up Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide so, I am: mobile, arty, techy We’re nearly on to the mobile stuff I promise Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide i have always made things for people to actively and joyfully engage with and use. Things which people love. At least, this has always been my intention Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide which is really what I want to talk about today Finally he gets to the point! Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide our current context: • • • • • wireless connection ubiquity mobile device type diversification targeted and re-targeted advertising always-on consumer behaviours High noise to signal ratio Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide possible outcome: people pull further and further away from the “Look Now” Web and seek out services to filter out the noise, delivering only signal – facilitating the rise of the “Right on Time” Web. Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide what does this mean for us? 4 main things I think Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide we will not be able to reach people as easily as we do now 60% of push notifications are disallowed or switched off (October 2014 Kahuna Inc.

Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide you just have to be smarter about targeting people at trigger moments Wouldn’t it be better if we could reach people at a moment when it was genuinely valuable to them to interact with our brand? Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide all you need is a great Ad Campaign to cut through the noise Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could convert and retain more customers after a campaign? Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide it’s not a big deal, most of our customers are locked in already Wouldn’t it be amazing if 90% of our existing customers cared enough about our brand that they opened the email we sent them?

INSPIRATION LEADERSHIP Looking to be inspired as much as looking for outlets for their own creativity, imagination and self-expression. Constantly making new things happen, they take charge of situations and control their destiny. Highly participatory: opinionated, want to be involved and expect to be heard. STIMULATION COMMUNITY Over educated and under-stimulated, they want more out of life & are constantly looking for emotional and intellectual stimulation. Their social connections provide a sense of belonging, serve as a source of learning & inspiration, and fulfill their need for validation & affirmation. Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide So, when we communicate with them we need to give them experiences that validate their sense of self.

Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide We know that people are actively seeking ways to reduce the amount of noise in their life Get ready for some interesting trends! Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide Murdered by Modernity “I really value moments when I can just relax” and “I often need to switch off completely / escape from the day-to-day pressures of life for short periods of time” AGREEMENT HIGHEST among global consumers who highly value socialising face to face, listening to live music, going to pubs/bars/clubs. “Sometimes I feel the need to get away from phone calls, emails and text messages and switch off” | % GB respondents who agree AGREEMENT HIGHEST among those claiming to feel the need for “new experiences” and “more excitement”.

Android Wear embraces the future of the Right On Time Web. No more grids of apps, no more searching for information. Instead, Google promises smart, context-aware updates : “information that moves with you”. Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide Counter-intuitive right? Just more stuff to be distracted by… Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide The Right On Time Web suggests the opposite : technology that knows when not to disturb; that keeps your phone in your pocket. Get ready for some interesting statistics Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide In wearable technology amongst 18-25 year olds: 37% have used and 57% want to That really is an enormous number (UK Only, Future Foundation March 2014) Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide in 2000 the numbers for mobile phone use/ownership in North America and Europe were 21% females 31% male.

Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide We must provide consumers with context- and lifestyle -related products and services; as well as knowing when not to disturb them. Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide So you might ask, “That’s all well and good, but how can I do anything about this now?” Which is a very valid question Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide I have three recommendations (one you can do right away) Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide Remember this guy from slide 38?

Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide 1 Find a friend who is in your target market and put a photo of them up, a BIG one, where you work When you talk about things at work with colleagues, talk about them from a user’s perspective. Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide 2 when you create a campaign and you ship it – make sure that the campaign isn’t the Thing, just the message. Also, make sure there is a Thing. Otherwise we don’t learn when we see the results at the end And our customers disappear immediately after seeing our campaign Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master) Client Logo - Add in master slide 3 ask yourself: “Is there a good reason for someone to come back to my product again and again? If not, then you will lose that customer to someone who has asked that question.
