In P.R.A.I.S.E. of Content, and the Promise of Real-Time Marketing
By Owen McDonald
Mon, Sep 27, 2010
Maverick ideas that corral the sacred cows of business planning appeal to me. One such redirection of time-honored business practice is found in the new book, Real-Time Marketing for Business Growth: How to Use Social Media, Measure Marketing and Create a Culture of Execution. The brain behind the book is author, educator, speaker and marketing strategist, Monique Reece. Her book challenges core business beliefs – annual strategic planning being a biggy – arguing that in this boundless new business climate, annual planning is an outdated practice disconnected from market realities.
By Reece’s definition, real-time marketing is literally that: abandoning robotic execution of static annual plans for plans that constantly shift to address market conditions. Still, her method is anchored by a core set of internal corporate values and external behaviors. The book is a treatise on not just keeping pace with change, but outpacing it with new approaches to strategy, execution and measurement. On October 20 at 12pm EDT, Reece will personally share these concepts and more in the webinar, Content's Role in Real-Time Marketing. I strongly urge you to register.
Meanwhile, consider the following tidbits and factoids that preview Reece’s upcoming webinar, tantalize as to why companies need Real-Time Marketing – and the content marketing strategy to support it – when navigating treacherous new competitive waters:
- Reece says research proves 90% of employees don’t understand their company’s strategy. Content as internal communication is the key driver to change this.
- There are lots of “secret weapons” in the world of marketing theory. Reece’s own is expressed as her P.R.A.I.S.E. methodology – Purpose, Research, Analyze, Implement, Strategize, Evaluate/Execute – and content has a role at each phase.
- Reece says content drives the integration of planning and execution. It’s the glue binding the two, and the vehicle by which strategies becomes field tactics.
- A central tenet of Real-Time Marketing is the idea that many businesses market to the wrong people. The webinar will convey what Reece calls “simple and proven processes” to define a company's ideal customer, as well as the pivotal role of content in identifying this target internally, and conversing with them externally.
- Reece is a major proponent of social media, and the role different kinds of content play to drive communication and execution of a strong social media strategy.
- No single marketing theorist can claim ownership of customer-centricity, but Reece’s approach is heavily weighted towards how content can be used to establish and maintain a customer-centric corporate culture that wins business.
- Content marketing drives the innovation process necessary for growth, she says. The book and webinar support this, again, from internal and external viewpoints.
Reece’s six-step P.R.A.I.S.E. process for planning and execution is also ably laid out in her recent DemandGen Report interview. This article is also required reading for managers and marketers seeking better paths to growth in a jungle of new media and messaging.

Real-time Marketing for Business Growth: How to Use Social Media, Measure Marketing, and Create a Culture of Execution by Monique Reece. FT Press, 2010. Reviewed in 2010 Sep CHOICE.
Reece (CEO, MarketSmarter; faculty member, Univ. of Denver) has produced a solid, comprehensive overview of marketing that covers all the tried ed and true bases. The book also includes a comprehensive coda on the use of social media and ways to measure marketing as components of a "culture of execution." The author presents a marketing process consisting of six components (purpose, research, analyze, implement, strategize, execute, and evaluate), which serves as the organizing structure for the chapters. Written in a clear, comprehensible style, the text has a breathless drive that makes the content feel like a revelation to the reader. The mix of case studies with the narrative offers a lively spin to what is, in the main, traditional content. Reece provides a gazetteer for the marketing novice, and the expanded menu facilitates "drilling-down" into selected content areas. Overall, this well-organized volume is good place to begin for a comprehensive overview of the field and a guide to in-depth exploration utilizing other sources. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
