FEED: The 2009 Razorfish Digital Brand Experience Report

Key Findings:

• "For brands to digitally engage consumers today, they must not only stand for something but also do something. Branded experiences (or actions) are the new advertising."
• "according to our study, consumers don’t want a conversation with brands—they want deals. Of those who follow a brand on Twitter, 44% say access to exclusive deals is the main reason. The same holds true for those who “friended” a brand on Facebook or MySpace, where 37% cite access to exclusive
  deals or offers as their main reason."
• "Consumers clearly don’t believe that digital is a one-way medium, either. A surprising 69% of them have provided feedback to a brand, either through its web site or a thirdparty service like GetSatisfaction.com."
• "According to our findings, those who follow a brand on Twitter seem to be engaged beyond deals or customer service: 23% cite “interesting or entertaining” content as their main reason. Perhaps this points to the emerging trend of brands needing to become content providers to better connect with consumers. Given a recent report from Penn State’s College of Information"
• "GroupM predicts that, in 2010, digital will represent 17% of the U.S. advertising marketplace, making it the third largest medium in the United States"
