From Volcanoes to Broken Guitars

 

If you missed the brand forum at HP on May 4th, we’ll do our best to fill you in with downloadable presentations, video highlights and descriptions, but we may not be able to reproduce the experience. You missed Adam Weinroth’s case study on what Demand Media is doing to engage customers not only with their company but with each other in a new model for providing content and rich experiences for people.

You also missed the an informative and fascinating panel discussion, in which Heidi Melin from Polycom talked about the volcano in Iceland as a disaster with an upside. There were no fatalities, only inconveniences, and Polycom had a spike in their business providing teleconferencing solutions to stranded business people. Dan Nichols talked about the importance of managing the relationship with customers throughout your entire organization and how United Airlines learned that lesson the hard way disregarding one unhappy guitarist who used YouTube to knock down their market valuation by $180 million. And Bob Kennedy talked about the challenge of giving their customers a sense of urgency to protect themselves in cyberspace without “fearmongering.”
