--Influence • Mobile • Large data

With the rapid development and transformation of the Internet, network media development is increasingly diverse, in the face of endless network marketing model, a pharmaceutical industry advertisers have said: "New media delivery for us is a new attempt, this process we need to explore, but in the process of exploration in the emerging new marketing model, For our traditional marketers, it is full of challenges. ”

Undoubtedly, this "exploration" and "challenge" is not only for advertisers, but also for media platforms, agents of new topics.

2012, China's Internet entered a new ecological growth period, the growth of smartphone explosion, the electric business industry double 11 sales bursting, social media breakthrough test, micro-letter brought by mobile internet new imagination ... A variety of new marketing concepts and models to make network marketing people excited.

At the same time, along with the Chinese internet market has grown up 15 years of traditional portal, but under the impact of a variety of new marketing concepts, and again stood in the starting point. Facing the new development environment, what is the advantage of portal site? Network media usher in a time of change.

At the beginning of 2013, as a representative of the portal site, Sohu took the lead in vocal, to give their views on influence, mobile, large data.

Through a series of initiatives by Sohu, we are not difficult to find, whether mobile Internet or large data, with the technology and market progress, marketing tools, tools, channels are bound to be a higher speed of development. But don't lose sight of the fact that the rapid changes are always moving forward from our current resources. For marketers, mastering the core of the problem, timely integration of resources, accurate and rapid adjustment of the strategy, and constantly maintain the influence of their own brands, is to adapt to change the immutable law.

Building large digital matrices

How can we seize today's opportunity in a fast-growing Chinese market? 2013, Sohu from influence, move, big data three aspects to build large digital matrix.

To make a metaphor, if the Internet market before 2012 is "Express", then the 2012 digital marketing has become a hop on the "Harmony number." Smartphone explosion, 11 sales in the electric industry, social media breakout test, micro-mail brings new image of mobile internet ... A variety of fresh marketing concepts and models to stimulate the rapid changes in China's Internet market, along with the Chinese Internet has grown for 15 years, the traditional portal site is also back to the starting point.

As a representative of the portal site, Sohu at the beginning of the 2013 "Sohu World Congress" on the first sound, aiming at how in the new development environment for the new marketing model to explore the path problem, Sohu co-president and chief operating officer Wang in the General Assembly to share: "Sohu proposed three key words: Portal mainstream media influence, The invasion and destruction of movement and the value of large data. ”

Where is the advantage of the network?

Sohu's answer is the influence of mainstream media.

It is not difficult to find out the particularity of the development of Chinese network media. In the United States, traditional media, especially the hundred years old, by virtue of their professionalism and brand influence, can more profoundly influence social change. And the domestic traditional media to market time less than 20 years, almost with the development of Internet media time synchronization.

But it is also the difference between Chinese and foreign media environment, also provides the historical opportunity for China's network media to enhance the brand influence. "Network media, especially the more credible portal, still carries the core value of network marketing." Wang concluded. "China is entering a time of great change, the influence of network media in all kinds of complex sounds is especially prominent, with the open and interactive public opinion environment, responsible authority credibility and the most comprehensive user coverage, the network media is becoming the most important influence platform to unite the consensus of change, influence the mainstream crowd in China and lead the times. ”

So where does this influence come from?

To Sohu, for example, at present, Sohu pc Internet monthly coverage of the crowd has reached 441 million, the monthly internet coverage of 93%. Such a large user base and the brand value represented by the traditional network media is the biggest advantage.

On the other hand, the ability to integrate is a key to the impact of the portal site. 2011, Mercedes-Benz Smart has the advantage of Sohu products-Sogou Input method to make Mercedes-Benz Smart Flash skin, and finally to about 1.48 million times of the super load to give an example. Diversified product layout like a group of large tentacles, so that the traditional portal "thriving" at the same time for advertisers to provide marketing n possible.

In the face of challenges, how can traditional network media continue to influence?

"Sohu will continue to plowing, with news products, media products affect users." Wang her interpretation with facts. In 2012, Sohu to carry out a comprehensive revision of quality, not only to further absorb the senior media to join, the advanced news concept into the newsroom, improve the quality of media content editing, but also through the establishment of emergency processing groups, as well as finance, fashion, automobiles, real estate and other vertical areas of deep, Provide more attributes information and services to meet the needs of market segments, more accurate to the user to achieve media impact, thereby effectively improve user access.

It can be seen that the phrase "content is king" is always available on the portal site. The wonderful content is always hold to live the populace, the important link that creates the lasting influence.

Squeeze the new direction of the net media

20.115 billion.

2012, 110 million? 150 million? 200 million.

2013, ...

Such a set of data depicts the fact that, in 2011, smartphone coverage was 5 million; in early 2012, industry forecasts would reach 110 million in the year, and 3 months later it would be 150 million until 2012, with data showing 200 million. The development speed of mobile interconnection is beyond people's imagination.

According to DCCI data forecasts, 2013 China's mobile phone users will reach 711 million, more than 695 million of the PC Internet users capacity. What does that mean? "Where the consumer is, we go," said the management, who buys the media. "In the face of the growing mobile user base, this means the advent of the mobile internet marketing era."

Under such a background, how should the traditional network media react?

Micro-letter in a few months will be the number of billion growth, this is the speed of the unthinkable. Faced with 10 times times the speed of the era, mobile internet market in the development of space is huge, time is pressing.

Sohu experts predict that the future mobile Internet for 10 times times the size of the market, now every day PC boot 200 million, and the future of the mobile device will be turned on every day or 2 billion, if the day before entering the market will achieve an early 10-day competitive advantage, if a day later than the competitors pay 10 times times efforts. Obviously, entering the mobile Internet is a new direction for traditional portals.

In the past year, Sohu has fully integrated the PC end and mobile phone wireless end, so that users from different terminals to obtain high-quality information, the media influence power extended to the mobile internet. In Wang's words: "We are in a rapidly changing era, Sohu to continue and expand their influence, also need to embrace change." ”

So far, Sohu around the mobile media layout of the product has accumulated hundreds of millions of users, of which Sohu news client has obtained 60 million of the installation, daily new activation user 240,000, take a new open platform model, attracted about 300 media settled in, Total subscription volume exceeded 160 million, has become China's largest mobile media platform.

Thus, as the portal Sohu, this "embrace change" courage, will eventually become data growth, return to the brand influence above.

Releasing large data energy

Multivariate product x time =? This answer can be answered with large data.

Just pregnant mother, want to buy a car of the milk Dad, longing for fashionable office workers ... Through the network behavior, each user has a self in the cloud. and Sohu, by virtue of Sohu Portal + Strategic implementation and multiple product layout, in this regard already has a greater advantage. Portal, search, browser, input method, video, games, wireless, such as a number of user aggregation platform is like a powerful engine, a steady stream of Sohu's marketing team to provide monthly at least 900 million times the data assets. All users are in the form of tag attributes in the Sohu Group Cloud database. On the basis of these labels, Sohu can provide advertisers with better marketing services, optimize budget allocation and achieve precision marketing.

The General Assembly, Sohu and you share such a case: Two months ago, Sohu launched a mother and child category of customers. At first people think it should be in the position of Sohu's mother and child channel and female channel, but by using data analysis found that such users actually in Sohu's military channel. Finally Sohu according to the data display way, in the military channel carries on the launch, the result its effect is 46 times times better than on other channels.

This is the power of big data. But it also shows that the cognitive style of the past media needs to be validated, and try to cooperate more widely.

Summarize Sohu proposed three key words, influence, move, big data. In another perspective, it may be understood as brand depth, coverage breadth and marketing efforts. Combined with the current market background, we can find that whether the mobile Internet or large data, with the technology and market progress, marketing tools, tools, channels are bound to be a higher speed of development. But don't lose sight of the fact that the rapid changes are always moving forward from our current resources.

If the digital marketing transformation compared to a dash forward train, it will be faster and faster, but in the marketing people, grasp the core of the problem, timely integration of resources, accurate and rapid adjustment strategy, and constantly maintain their brand influence, will be adapted to change the immutable law.

Make the portal more influential

For the portal site, although the advent of the era of great change has brought a variety of new marketing methods, prompting the portal site to carry out marketing changes, but there is one thing can not change, that is the authority of the mainstream media and based on the quality of the product content.

What did you think about the Internet media in 2012?

Weibo? Wechat? Although more and more netizens get information through these new SNS applications, with a lot of time to soak in it, however, from the network media properties, as a more credible portal site, is still a consensus, the impact of the mainstream of the most important platform, it still carries the core value of network marketing.

So, in the face of the complex internet marketing, how to better reflect the portal site marketing value? "Our way of ZTE is to use pure media influence to change the pattern of competition." "As one of the four major portal Sohu, to use content to speak."

For the portal site, content is the foundation.

"As a marketing method of quality content manufacturing, it can provide more positive energy input to the brand and generate more social influence." "Sohu Advertising marketing vice President Cuilili that media influence can be explained from two aspects: that is, the value of media and consumer media.

To shape the volume of sound with value

The so-called value media, refers to news channels, financial channels, cultural channels, etc. as the representative, through the help of advertisers to create a quality topic for marketing, to help brand better establish image, improve marketing sound volume. And this for the pilot domestic feather clothing industry, one of the brand Bo, for its deepening brand reputation provides an opportunity.

As a well-known brand in China down jacket, in the eyes of consumers, Bo secretary seems to have become a synonym for down jacket. To better promote brand development, beginning in 2012, Bo secretary to strive for innovation, bold strategic change, in creating brand fashion, enhance consumer experience and brand communication model for a comprehensive innovation, more attention to young consumer groups of cultivation. Bo Secretary of Brand management manager Xu Yanbong told success Marketing: "The current digital marketing and network interaction is a trend, we hope to rely on the network, and consumers to establish a more benign interaction and communication, the way of transmission from the traditional trend of diversification and modernization." ”

In the Sohu platform, Bo Secretary also through the use of Sohu matrix mode, to achieve marketing multidimensional expansion, effectively enhance the brand and consumer contact opportunities, thus more effective to the target group to convey brand ideas and product information, to achieve the maximum marketing voice.

The brand experience brought by consumers

With the continuous deepening of internet surfing habits, for the portal site, it not only needs to provide a huge amount of news information resources, but also to meet their increasingly rich entertainment and consumer demand. The consumer media, represented by fashionable men and women, can bring a richer extension when combined with brand.

What is this extension? Not only is the portal site to provide a huge crowd coverage of the brand, but also a deep-seated brand experience-type propaganda.

"Although the wine is good, but do not drink yo", this sentence for users is not unfamiliar, but many people do not understand the company's health brand concept passed. Jin Licensing Company was founded in 1953, is a professional health food enterprises, its Chinese Jin liquor sales volume of 700 million bottles, single product sales in the wine industry ranked top. In order to further enhance the brand influence and reputation, Jin licensing company and Sohu Portal Tourism channel cooperation, the launch of "follow the wine to travel" activities.

In the current communication environment, the Internet has a younger population, a more effective interactive experience, more rapid brand coverage and more accurate communication to reach, can be effective with the traditional media to form complementary.

For traditional brands, after years of strong brand communication, has a certain brand awareness. However, with the increase of consumer demand, the communication between the brand and consumers becomes a new appeal.

"Brand said"

Marketing needs to win content

Wangyun Lenovo Group Brand Communication Department Strategic Project senior Director

For internet marketing, the best time to capture consumers is within 15 seconds, which requires that brand marketing should have sufficient attractiveness and creativity, and as consumers change their consumption habits, they want to get a better quality of the content experience.

As Sohu, which has been in the development of Internet for 15 years, it insists on its content development. With its foray into the mobile internet field, facing the advantage of the user group from Sina Weibo, the micro-letter has private characteristics to attract users, Sohu insists on its own content advantage, and extends this feature directly into its mobile strategy.

In this "love to be in tune" event, Lenovo through the content angle with the Sohu teenager said the channel cooperates, and relies on the Sohu Cloud Chart app creativity picture Display, from the visual to the Netizen formation stimulation, inspires them to realize, tells out own story and the viewpoint, displays own vigor, the effective promotion activity and the Netizen carries on the interaction.

Large data value drift

Facing the challenge of large data, the implementation and layout of Sohu's gateway strategy has become a unique advantage.

The best way to predict the future is to create it. ”

This is the "digital transmission of The Godfather" Negroponte in the book "Digital Survival," the assertion, and this "predict the future" of the best path, not large data.

The arrival of large data era, based on the huge user data accumulation, integration, analysis and development, create a new product, operation, marketing model, has become the focus of the development of various internet companies at home and abroad, with data, it means that have a market.

The big data, which was presented in 2012, is a revolution in information, though not a new word. In this environment, it is pregnant with marketing changes, which requires the data cloud to the marketing cloud to change, the future marketing must be based on the real-time data flow perception of marketing.

In this data vortex, Sohu is also making data changes.

With data-driven marketing increasingly important, from the site data to find the trend of consumer interest, to develop new products to meet these needs, and then achieve more targeted marketing and creative embodiment, these need more massive data mining to support. As one of the four major domestic portal Sohu, has a large number of users and data, so want to better grasp and create the future, Sohu needs to enhance its data mining and analysis of the ability to use.

Data collection Expands dimension

Faced with the challenges of large data, Sohu to "portal +" strategic response. By making a multidimensional product layout, Sohu has a huge asset embodiment, from the portal to search, browser and input method, and with the development of the Internet, Sohu Video, online games to promote and extend, as well as through the Sohu News client, Sogou mobile phone Input method and other products occupy the wireless domain, and constantly enrich the media to the user coverage form, To provide more diversified data for the brand, so as to help the brand better communicate with consumers, to find a more appropriate marketing point of entry, effectively enhance the ROI of brand marketing.

In 2012, for example, F1, the Nissan high-end brand, hopes to gain a place in China's luxury cars, as one of the world's top competitions is launched at the World Series Formula Championships. For many enterprises, the use of large events for product marketing is already a familiar marketing method, but how to find the event itself with the brand of high degree of fit, to find the appropriate communication platform and the formulation of effective marketing planning?

This requires massive data support.

It is not easy for an Infiniti target audience of high-end fashion people who aspire to taste life to impress them. In order to effectively establish emotional communication with this group, Sohu adopts portal + industry vertical Marketing system. In the media, the use of Sohu's own 15 portal advantage, focusing on automotive, news, financial channel crowd, effective coverage of brand target crowd; Secondly, with the help of Sohu F1 exclusive network rights, combined with Infiniti for Red Bull team sponsorship rights and interests, with the help of event hotspots, Through the annual continuous exposure and offline collection organization of the Joint Spectator group, to attract interested people in the tournament, further mining user data.

On the basis of coverage of the target population, Sohu through the combination of Beijing Auto Show further brand communication, the use of Sohu 210 million total traffic auto Show project, to provide users with the opportunity to participate in activities to capture the real user information, the Infiniti activity exposure pushed to high. At the same time, in video, through the selection of Sohu Video exclusive American drama resources, the use of video material transmission of perceptual needs, through data analysis for accurate delivery, and further communication with the target population; Finally, with the help of Sohu Community, automobile Community SAA and Sohu National local station for directional transmission, to achieve marketing landing Get more granular potential user data to find real car buyers.

Data Label Refinement Analysis

"The data cloud Marketing can realize the brand advertisement main effect marketing demand." Sohu Advertising marketing vice President Cuilili that the Infiniti case with the influence of Sohu media, brand reputation marketing, to achieve the phased sales target, is a data funnel marketing methods. It through the data above the open source, from the Sohu Automotive, news, finance, fashion and other high-end brands to carry out a mass set of marketing, after the data cloud for the consumer labeling form, in the sales funnel for precision analysis of data, so as to find the right products to buy consumers.

In the big data age, the real users, their behavior on the internet has been labeled with various data labels. With the advent of the comprehensive information age, the market is continuously subdivided, the media is also becoming more complex, in the process of Internet system integration, the environment, media, interaction, consumer changes will be reflected in the form of data, advertising is no longer point to point, but a precise user, which needs to be developed through large data technology, Continuous segmentation of user behavior, the user implementation of the data.

At the same time as user data, data is being manifested as a person. To Sohu, by the user in Sohu a series of behavior tag classification, through the Sohu data-side technology team to analyze these tags, for advertisers to expand more new marketing resources.

John Vonnamec, a famous American market scholar, once said, "I know half of the advertising costs are wasted, but I don't know which half." "The advent of Big data marketing, the problem seems to have been resolved." With the improvement of data processing capability, the digital media marketing will be more personalized and more personalized by the deep excavation of the characteristics of netizens.

Taking Sohu as an example, with the continuous expansion of Sohu product chain subdivision, advertisers can through the expected data analysis, and then decide whether to meet product marketing needs. For example, as mentioned above, the example of mother and infant customers, in the traditional marketing process, its corresponding delivery channel may be the mother or child Sohu or female channel, but with the analysis of large data, it may be found that the brand's target users are actually in the Sohu Military channel, and this is not impossible.

When it comes to the future development direction of Sohu's big data, Sohu joint president and chief operating officer Wang said that the strain and change, based on large data technology and platform development, and Sohu will provide more in-depth data mining brand, further access to user potential, to help the brand faster, more convenient to find matching consumer groups, To achieve effective and accurate delivery.
