Digital Podcast 48: Why Apple Doesn’t Get Marketing 2.0
Charlene Li is an Analyst at Forrester Research and co-author of the new book, Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies, which she wrote with Josh Bernoff. Charlene is one of the leading voices in the area of Social Computing and Web 2.0.
I briefly caught up with Charlene Li after hearing her speak at Forrester Research’s Marketing Forum 2008 in Los Angeles.
In this podcast, Charlene talks about getting the book written, and her and Josh’s goals of helping marketers understand the wild world of social media and engage with consumers in the groundswell.
Charlene also describes how marketing is evolving from highly controlled one-way messaging to a much less controlled process of creating relationships with consumers. In particular, she outlines how one of the best-known and most successful consumer tech brands, Apple, breaks the rules for engaging the groundswell, and the risks that other brands face if they follow Apple’s lead.
