  • How to start your creativity workout program

    Creativity is much like any other form of working out, be it physical or mental. If you do very little on a regular basis, you have very little to draw on when you need it most. If you work out at high intensity every day, you become far more capable.

    Practice on the mountainside

    Creativity is no different. If you rarely exercise creativity, if you never push out of your comfort zone, then what you create will be mediocre at best. If you force yourself beyond your limits, you strengthen your creative skills.

    Additionally, consider what it takes to be creative, and what it takes to work out. Do you need an expensive gym, a personal trainer, etc.? If that’s what it takes to get you to work out, then yes. If you can make do with a chair and a few free weights, or a pair of sneakers and the open road, then that’s all you need. Creativity is the same way. Do you need to be surrounded by paints, easels, computers, white boards, brash environments, a creativity coach? Perhaps. However, you can often make do with what you have. Just as fitness comes from your body under duress, creativity comes from your mind under duress.

    Just as you cannot walk into a fitness center or gym and bench press 400 pounds on day 1, so should you not expect to create the best idea ever developed by a professional in your industry on your first sheet of blank paper.

    So how do you get started being more creative? Push yourself to create new ideas every day – and add creative “weights” each day, to push yourself a little more.

    Today, create an idea to blog about.
    Tomorrow, create two.
    The next day, create three.

    If you’re a more visual person, draw an outline or a mind map today.
    Create two tomorrow.
    The next day, three.

    Write a few words today in your next novel.
    Write 10 more words the next day.
    Write 20 more words the following day.

    Pick a creative medium as well. The person who tries a different workout all the time without dedicating time into one type of workout gets less focused results than someone who just runs or just lifts weights. Make a commitment to a creative channel and stick with it for at least a few weeks.

    The best time to start your creative mental workouts was yesterday. The second best time is right now. Get creative!

  • Gatekeepers must become curators

    Storm damage

    A number of industries are predicated on the idea of a gatekeeper:

    • Education is predicated on the idea of the teacher as the gatekeeper of knowledge.
    • News media is predicated on the idea of the news outlet as the gatekeeper of news.
    • Information technology is predicated on the idea of the IT department as the gatekeeper of technology.
    • Human resources is predicated on the idea of the HR professional as the gatekeeper of talent and open jobs.

    There are many more examples of gatekeepers in many different industries. You can likely think of a few of your own.

    Yet look carefully at your lists of gatekeepers. How have those gatekeepers been foiled?

    • Google is the gatekeeper of knowledge. No teacher can make a respectable claim that they can provide more raw knowledge.
    • Social media and new media are the gatekeepers of news, to the point where some news outlets simply read Tweets on the air.
    • BYOD and the democratization of tech and mobile have allowed people to sidestep IT and corporate security at every turn.
    • Personal and social networks allow people to network directly with hiring managers for the best jobs.

    So what’s a gatekeeper to do? How do these professionals, these people, pivot in their roles to still be relevant in a space which has become highly democratized?

    The answer is curation. For each democratization has brought its own troubles:

    • What knowledge is valid? The idiocracy of false science and science denial are examples of democratization gone awry.
    • How truthful is news? In an environment where anyone can report anything, lots of things are misreported or outright lied about.
    • BYOD also means bring your own viruses, your own security problems, your own lost device problems.
    • In increasingly fast pace environments, hiring managers don’t have time to read hundreds of resumes and return emails.

    The curator role solves all of these dilemmas. Imagine how these professions change their roles and responsibilities when they become curators:

    • The teacher helps the student to think critically, evaluate sources, do primary research, and determine what is valid knowledge.
    • News media no longer sources the news, they validate it. They do their research to ascertain what is true news.
    • The IT department no longer dictates, but guides and enables by helping users understand their devices better.
    • Human resources aides and assists by stemming the flow of raw talent or jobs, freeing managers’ time once more.

    While an interesting exercise, what does this have to do with marketing?

    In case it escaped notice, marketing is democratized. Social media lets any employee or customer speak as authoritatively as we, the marketer can, and in many cases more credibly. Anyone can set up a landing page or web page in a CRM or marketing automation software. Anyone can boost a social post or run an AdWords campaign. It’s incredibly easy for someone to set up rogue marketing initiatives.

    Thus, marketing and marketers cannot be, and are not, the dictators and gatekeepers of marketing any longer. We must become the curators, the influence managers, the conductors of a marketing orchestra in which we welcome everyone to play, but we cannot compel them to do so.

    Are you ready to shed the mantle of marketing gatekeeper and become your brand’s marketing curator?

  • Community is king: a simple equation

    Content is no longer king.

    It hasn’t been for some time, ever since we realized as a marketing community that Content Shock has hit us hard. Between an ever-increasing abundance of content and algorithms designed to reduce the effectiveness of unpaid reach, content has been dethroned. Is it still important? Absolutely. Is it the most important thing? No.

    So, if content isn’t king, who is? I would make the argument that community is, and has been for some time. But what is community?

    Community, from the perspective of marketing and especially social media marketing, is an equation:

    community_equation.jpg

    Community = Content x Conversation x Caring x Commonality.

    Content is still important. A community is defined in part by its content, by what is shared in it. Think about your community interactions. Your people share stuff with you, and you share stuff with your people. Content isn’t going away by any means. It’s simply part of a bigger picture.

    Conversation is part of the community equation. A community that never speaks is not a community. Your email marketing list, if people never connect and converse, is just a database, not a community. A community needs a place to speak, from a Facebook Group to a Slack channel to a real world conference.

    Caring is what brings people back to the community. If you don’t care about the members of your community, if you don’t go out of your way to help them and help them help each other, then they will no longer care about you. They will find other places, other people who care.

    Commonality is what defines the community’s purpose. What do the members have in common? Is it a view of the world? A belief? A personal attribute or dimension? Understanding what your members have in common helps guide content, conversation, and caring.

    Note that the equation above is multiplicative. If any one of the factors is zero, the entire result is zero: no community exists. No caring? No community. No conversation? No community.

    If any one of the factors is negative, it negates the entire equation. A community can have all the right content, a strong common ground, and intense conversation, but if caring is negative, if people actively go out of their way to be hostile to each other, it destroys your community.

    This is why building a sustainable community is so difficult: you have to align all the factors in order to make a working community. However, if you do get it right, you build a powerful advocacy force for your organization.

  • The danger of hard selling during your conference presentation

    Few things irritate me like a conference session that turns into a sales pitch for the presenter. I don’t mind a quick plug at the beginning or the end, or a relevant case study that shows how you accomplished something as long as I can learn from it, too. I get it; I work for a company that I promote in my talks. But when a session is just a long commercial? That’s just irritating.

    Conferences have tried to handle this in the past to different degrees of success. PodCamp was founded on the BarCamp principle of the Law of Two Feet: if something isn’t working for you, just walk out. It’s a principle that has served unconferences quite well, and will continue to do so. Other conferences try to vet their speakers carefully or mandate that speakers also present with a neutral third party co-presenter. But what about being at a conference where your options are more limited, or group dynamics requires you to sit through a sales pitch?

    #MPB2B Photo by Steve Hall
    Photo credit: Steve Hall

    The mental game I play with such sessions in order to pass the time is reverse engineering. I’ll listen to a sales pitch session carefully, taking notes not about the talk itself, but its structure, the structure of the solution. From there, I daydream how to engineer something better, how to take the solution as presented, improve it with what I know and what I can Google, and possibly make a new, better version of the product being sold.

    For example, I was at a conference last year that had a disguised sales pitch session (much to the organizers’ chagrin, as they later told me, and that speaker has been disinvited to future events as a speaker). The session was about some radical new social media analytics tool. The demonstration was on the light side, as these pitches tend to be, but once you dug past the sales hyperbole (“unrivaled social tracking capabilities for only $2,500 a month!”), there was a kernel of something useful.

    Once I had the basic idea of what the product did, I hit my usual development resources (like GitHub) to see if anyone else had created something similar. While no one had, there were enough pieces laying around that, with a little bit of coding glue, I was able to craft something better, something that better suited my needs, while on the plane ride home.

    That was almost certainly not the intent, not the desired outcome of the sales speaker, but it’s a consequence of not speaking to the audience and serving them first. Had he instead just talked about social analytics in general, and added the customary plug at the end, I would have been far less bored and far less inspired to craft a competing product.

    This is the hidden danger of a boring sales pitch to an audience that has hackers and makers in it. If your pitch is blatant and boring, you just might inspire them to make your greatest competitor.

  • Analytics: what does the top quartile have in common?

    Whether you’re using Google Analytics, marketing automation, social media, or any quantifiable metric, one of the simplest, yet most beneficial questions you can ask is:

    What does the top quartile have in common?

    Here’s an example. Look at your Google Analytics for the last quarter, half year, or year by going into Behavior > Site Content > All Pages. Set the list to the top 100, 500, or 1000 pages, depending on how large your site is. Using the Quartile function in your spreadsheet software, identify the top 25% of your pages by volume.

    Analytics_www_christopherspenn_com_Pages_20151010-20151109.jpg

    What do your top pages have in common?

    Were they written around a particular topic?

    Were they written during a particular period of time?

    Does the traffic to those pages come from a particular source?

    You don’t have to limit this analysis to Google Analytics, either, or just your own website. Here’s an example of the Facebook shares and inbound links to my friend Chris Brogan’s website:

    top_pages_http_chrisbrogan-com-_ose_111015_3585815.jpg

    Above, we can see that 95 shares constitutes the line separating the top quartile from everything else. What do you see in his top posts by Facebook share?

    Look in your own metrics and analytics. What’s common? What can you learn about what resonates with your audience, and can you make more of it, if more audience is a goal?

  • Insidious misuses of statistics

    One of the most insidious mis-uses of statistics I’ve seen recently was a citation about the effectiveness of video in marketing. The original statistic in question read along the lines of:

    “73% of marketers surveyed believe that video was more impactful than other marketing methods for lead conversion”

    When recited, the marketer I was speaking to interpreted that to mean that video would improve their conversion rates by 73%.

    Re-read the citation above.

    What it says is if you asked 100 marketers, 73 of them would tell you that they think video is more impactful than other marketing methods for lead conversion. The citation does not say in any way how much more effective video is. If you asked those 73 marketers, they might say that video was only 5% more effective on average than other methods. 5% is a far cry from 73%, but people misinterpret the above number to mean they should see a 73% improvement in lead conversion.

    There’s an even more insidious problem with the citation that can lead you astray.

    Vintage Ford

    If you asked 100 horse and buggy manufacturers in 1905, they would have told you that Henry Ford was an idiot. 100% of horse and buggy manufacturers would have believed that horses and buggies were more impactful and more effective for transportation in 1905 than the horseless carriage.

    Asking for the opinions of fellow marketers gives you insight only into fellow marketers. It doesn’t provide you with usable data about your audience, unless your audience is composed of marketers.

    What should you do with the original citation? Despite appearing quantitative (objective data), it’s really qualitative in nature (anecdote and opinion). That means it’s a great place to start asking more questions, rather than start accepting answers. The question that should form in your mind is, “Should I be experimenting with video in my lead conversion processes?” and the answer is, yes, if you have the resources and capabilities to do so.

    Whenever you see any statistic cited in the media, question whether it is truly quantitative or if it’s qualitative. If it’s the latter, use it to ask more interesting questions and get your own answers. Most of all, do what you can to educate your stakeholders about the difference so that you’re not constantly fighting airplane magazine syndrome/shiny object syndrome.

  • Chart Crimes: Multiple Pie Charts Edition

    When it comes to displaying data in an informative way, there are good ways and bad ways to do it. Bad ways obscure our ability to understand what happened. Good ways showcase the most important points. Today’s Chart Crime is the multiple pie chart crime.

    Recall that the purpose of a pie chart is to showcase the percentage of a whole. How do individual data points relate to each other? Pie charts are not good at showing relationships over time.

    When I saw this chart of Lego colors, the tattered remains of my soul almost left my body.

    Screenshot_11_4_15__6_26_AM.jpg

    To quote Anakin Skywalker, “Nooooooooooooooooooo!”

    Again, pie charts don’t work well over time. As little circles, your eyes perceive them as discrete units. You can’t mentally carry data from one chart to the next beyond one or two pies.

    Here’s a simplified version. Try to keep all three series in your head as you read these four pie charts:

    Workbook1.jpg

    Above, you can see the orange slice of the pie gets bigger and smaller, but the way the chart is laid out, it’s difficult to glean any usable analysis.

    What should I have done instead? This:

    chart_crimes_2.jpg

    A stacked bar chart accomplishes the same purpose as a pie chart in that it shows pieces of a whole and how they relate to each other, but it also does this well over time. In the earlier version of this chart, the orange slice grabbed your attention, but you probably didn’t notice as much the blue slice steadily growing. In the stacked bar chart above, that relationship is much more clear.

    Any time you are tempted to make more than two pie charts, opt for a stacked bar chart instead. You will make life easier on yourself and make understandings easier on your audience.

  • Videogame cutscene movies and your marketing storytelling

    Screen Shot 2015-11-03 at 7.22.48 AM.png

    If you’ve played any modern, non-casual games recently, from Halo to Warcraft to Mortal Kombat, you’ve likely seen cutscenes, short videos that help advance the story.

    Here’s an example of a cutscene from the end of Act I in World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor:

    These cutscenes provide bridges in the story, taking you from one burst of action to the next. However, some games lend themselves to an entirely new level of cutscenes; there are enough of them and the story is strong enough that, sewn together, you end up with an actual movie. Here’s an example, an hour long, from Halo 4:

    The average game company puts minimal effort towards cutscenes, if it invokes them at all. The excellent game company, recognizing the power of storytelling, uses cutscenes so well that they are a story unto themselves. These cutscenes are so compelling that we enjoy watching them for their own sake.

    Consider how you approach your marketing. You have campaigns, the big things you do: end of year sale! Quarterly closing deals! Holiday special! These are the big moments, the big events which you rightfully invest a lot of effort. In video game parlance, these would be the action sequences where you as the player would be fully committed, fully participating.

    The question is, what’s in your marketing ‘cutscenes’? What are the storytelling pieces you create when you’re not executing major campaigns?

  • 3 Key Tactics for Local SEO Success

    Whether you have a retail presence or not, local search engine optimization is good for your business. Why? Big brands with big budgets have won the Internet, by and large. Certainly, there are a fair number of unicorns (startups with billion dollar valuations) but compared to the vast number of total companies, most startups competing for search engine placement against large brands don’t do well at the global level.

    This scale advantage can be partially mitigated by becoming excellent at local search; Google has made numerous statements that local search, particularly on mobile devices, can give some advantage to smaller businesses that are closer to the querant. Thus, if you’re searching for, say, coffee, a small coffee shop that’s well optimized for local search could reasonably compete with nearby mega-brand franchises.

    The same is true of any business that doesn’t serve customers at its location. If you are, say, an email marketing company, having appropriate geographic and local business data will help you win searches in your home city.

    In order to effectively compete, at least on Google, for local search, you need to do three activities.

    First, set up a My Business account with Google and populate it with the appropriate data. You’ll want to specify your mailing address, phone number, website URL, and any other business data you can provide. This will tell Google where you are located and bind your website URL to your physical location:

    Boston_Martial_Arts_Center_-_Dashboard.jpg

    Second, tag your geo-data on your website appropriately with schema.org microdata. This involves making relatively simple edits to any postal address text on your website that declares the contents are geographic data:

    PostalAddress_-_schema_org.jpg

    Once you’ve implemented your microdata, you’ll want to verify in a few days that Google has detected it by looking in the Structured Data menu in Webmaster Tools/Search Console:

    search_console.jpg

    When you log in, if you don’t see the above entry, your markup data may not be correctly formatted.

    Third, ensure your Google Maps listing is correct. If it’s not, use the Suggest an Edit function to fix your listing:

    Shift_Communications_PR_Agency_Boston_-_Google_Maps.jpg

    These three tactics must be done together in order to achieve maximum local search impact. Most organizations and competitors do one or two of them, but rarely do companies do all three. Do them well, and you’ll level the playing field a little when someone searches for you on any geo-aware device.

  • You probably don’t need a marketing dashboard

    I love a good dashboard. The challenge of assembling one, of unifying data sources, of cleaning, transforming, and showcasing your data is fun. (This version of fun is why no one invites me to parties.)

    LMFAO_-_Party_Rock_Anthem_ft__Lauren_Bennett__GoonRock_-_YouTube.jpg

    Despite all this, most of the dashboards I have seen in my career are useless. In fact, they are worse than useless because the dashboard is an excuse, a substitute for the hard work we actually need to do.

    Why? Decision makers don’t need data. They don’t need charts. They don’t need scatter plots with regression lines.

    They need actionable answers to their questions.

    What should we do?

    What is the next step?

    What is your recommendation?

    What’s the plan?

    When you hear these questions after you showcase your data, your dashboard, your analysis, it means you’ve fallen flat. It means that your work, hard though it was, ultimately didn’t achieve the goals that your decision makers wanted it to achieve.

    Every analysis you do, every presentation you make must implicitly answer those questions above. Most of the time, a dashboard can’t actually do that. At best it’s a visual aid to your explanation. At worst it’s a distraction.

    Before you launch a dashboard project or buy a dashboard tool, ask whether you need it to see that data for yourself or if it’s for your decision makers. If the latter, you probably don’t need a dashboard at all.
