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.

but first, a little about me
What the heck is a ‘product strategist’!?

i look at clients business problems and
solve them through creating mobile
and digital experiences
Sounds like a good and fun job right? Yes it is 

actually this is the first job I’ve had in
over a decade
i’ve always worked of course
Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master)

in my life I have been an
entrepreneur, activist and artist
Having a job is *way* easier 

the first mobile start-up I had was in
1999 making video media for the Palm
operating system
Yup, remember Palm?

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)

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)

here’s what the Bus-Tops project
looked like
There were 30 of these across London, some still remain up

We’re nearly on to the mobile stuff I promise

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

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)

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

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)

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. Analysis)
Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master)

where we reach people is changing
dramatically
Want to reduce call centre costs?
Why not use Whatsapp as your first customer point of call?

communications will become
increasingly value and context driven,
focused on reducing cognitive load
Give me what I need when I need it

Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master)

people will demand consistency
across all brand touch-points
You can’t have a great mobile app and a website that doesn’t work on
mobile anymore

but you may challenge some of these
assumptions
Maybe you are thinking…
Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master)
Client Logo

master slide
It’s already like this, which is partly
why we are spending more on
marketing
Wouldn’t it be great if we could spend *less* on marketing?
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?
Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master)

so if people will pull further and
further away from the “Look Now”
Web
Presentation Title | Meeting Stage | Client | 11.11.13 (Edit in root master)

and seek out services to filter out the
noise, delivering only signal – the
“Right On Time” Web...

because a campaign is just a trigger

New behaviours that are emerging
and taking root are the most
interesting for us to think about
And you can see this so much in the 16-25 year old age group

This group are overwhelmingly about
Learning, Growing,
Being Better People

Key Insights
They thrive on new & shared experiences because discovery &
social connectivity are what ultimately drive their sense of self.
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.

So, when we communicate with them
we need to give them experiences
that validate their sense of self.
What else do we know about them?
They receive more digital noise on a daily basis than anyone else

Android Wear: The first passive operating system
Google’s operating system for wearable technologies - Android Wear - was announced in
2014. 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”.

The Right On Time Web
suggests the opposite :
technology that knows when not
to disturb; that keeps your phone
in your pocket.

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)

in 2000 the numbers for mobile
phone use/ownership
in North America and Europe were
21% females 31% male.
In 2001 these numbers doubled…
Not dissimilar to the apparent appetite for wearable tech today

New consumption habits will mean
less screen real estate for
advertisers as well as far less room
for unwelcome or uninvited
notifications.

In addition, the diminishing
tolerance for spam and sales alerts
will decline still further.

We must provide consumers with

products and services; as well as
knowing when not to disturb them.

can I do anything about this now?”

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.

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)

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.
