How associations can Master the new rules of engagement in the digital world.

As the rules of discovery change, it is essential that association leaders and their staff understand how search, social media and online content are now intertwined, with a new "content paradigm" rooted in context-marketing determining which organizations will thrive and prosper, and which ones will falter and fail.

This book outlines a big-picture perspective that demystifies the hype around social media and content marketing, so that association leaders can master the new rules for engagement through an understanding of the interplay of search optimization, social media and neuroscience.

What You'll Learn

The Internet has had a profound impact on the way people come together and discover information, resulting in a new "social intelligence" that affects organizations across all sectors. Associations are uniquely positioned to dominate under the new rules of engagement, yet they also face significant risks and must be prepared for fierce competition from the business sector.

To successfully navigate the changes taking place, association leaders need to gain a big picture understanding of the new rules of engagement, as well as an understanding of how they can move forward using actionable steps. Social Intelligence Demystified does both, by first breaking down the new rules of engagement and then providing toolkits that can be used by leadership, staff and volunteers to practically apply what has been learned. It also explores emerging ideas from the fields of neuroscience and behavioural economics, to help readers better understanding the hidden emotional drivers that influence decision making.

Search
Discovery is essential in context marketing, yet did you know that search optimization now incorporated over 200 ranking factors, which include social signals provided through your social media activities?
Social Media & Platforms
By now most people realize that Twitter is more than just a fad where people talk about what they ate for lunch.
Neuroscience
The curious thing about being human is that the more rational we think we become, the less we realize how strongly our "fast" thinking systems influence our decision, which we then back-up with logic and facts.

Overview of Social Intelligence Demystified

Finally! A plain language explanation of the new social intelligence that has fundamentally shifted the way people discover information, engage and make decisions.
As we enter the "context-marketing" era, this book will help association leaders master the new rules of engagement.
