A blog about blogging - including advertising on blogs, corporate blogs and the rise of social media

Jeff Jarvis, owner of the famous blog, buzzmachine,has brought out a book called 'What would Google do?' I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand how the models of communications are changing.

 I saw him talking about his book on a video (search you tube - he's everywhere) and he talked about customers being your advertising agency now.Which I thought was an interesting idea.

 The fact is that customers are editing your TV commercials online already. So the purpose is to create content which they want to distribute and talk about. And to involve them more in the advertising process. I'm surprised more companies don't have a look at how they are represented on youtube because they could pick up some interesting ideas for the next campaigns...

I read this great book (and have written a couple of posts about it). I interpreted the 'customers are the ad agency' in a different way. As I see it, the goal for all brands should be to drive advocacy. They do this by delivering brand experiences that promise, deliver (the promise) and delighting customers. If they do this successfully then the customer will talk about it...hence customers are the ad agency.
