This is the new age of marketing post-Cluetrain:

PINKO MARKETING

When I say 'post-Cluetrain', I am merely paying respect to Doc, Chris, David and Rick for authoring the Cluetrain Manifesto. Not that we've moved beyond anything...hell, much of the world hasn't even caught up! What I'm talking about is taking the principles of the cluetrain and:

1. Giving solid examples of how it has been sucessfully implemented
2. Acknowledge that 7 years later, The Cluetrain can be built upon with the new tools that are being built and distributed in the commons. Cluetrain itself was a reflection of all that had come before it, including User Groups and buying clubs, collectives, co-ops, and other institutions.
3. Bring it to a new level of the conversation...one which acknowledges that it doesn't matter whether you (as the marketing director) are part of it or not...and that this may be the most powerful level of all

...because there is no "consumer" anymore. We are in the age of peer to peer power over all other forms of messaging. Producer to producer. There are no passive parties in this new world. No longer is word of mouth merely a powerful tool, it is quickly becoming the only trusted source of information. The internet, mobile and other advanced forms of communication are allowing communities to form and gain power more quickly than ever.

It is time that we not only listen to the community voice, but we pave the way and reward those voices for existing.
