Today we are joined by Jonathan Gabay who has written 14 books, is endorsed by the CIM, was creative group head at Saatchi Saatchi and is a Thunderbirds fan. He talks about his thoughts behind his book, Brand Psychology. He points out how people often write things online which they donÛªt truly feel; in that they say what other people would like them to say.
We asked him about disinhibition, which he refers to in his book. Minorities comments get the bigger responses in social media, because they are stirring it up. They are very contrary. He strongly advises marketers to stop producing campaigns using software and that itÛªs time to start thinking of big data as the human mind. People are looking for an identity, which shows other people and yourself that you are authentic. What should we be doing differently? Jonathan suggests we follow our gut, to look at big data but also have common sense and the human instinct.

Real-time Content Creation And Strategy ÛÒ INTERNET MARKETING PODCAST #296
Today we talk to Jon who has been involved in marketing for 20 years. In 2005 Jon started urgentgenius.com and went on to publish the book ÛÏNewsjackingÛ. He tells us about his company Û÷TBCÛª (To Be Confirmed. To Be Continued. The Burkhart Company), ie nothingÛªs been confirmed and everythingÛªs changing. We talk about real-time marketing and how brands must say no to certain events and they must always be relevant. Because of this, itÛªs important for brands to know the difference between topical and relevant.
We ask Jon how we would know when thereÛªs a good opportunity to newsjack? Jon gives some good examples of who got it right, and who didnÛªt. He talks about planned spontaneity, riding the wave and takes us through the B-A-L-L-S-Y brands checklist.
