- 9. CHAPTER FOUR WE EMPOWER THE ADVERTISERS OF TODAY TO GROW
- 10. DE KIJK VAN VAN DYCK In his weekly column in De Standaard, Fons Van Dyck gives his opinion on new trends and developments in the world of marketing, communication and consumer behaviour. DE STANDAARD ZATERDAG 22, ZONDAG 23 NOVEMBER 2014 DE KIJK VAN VAN DYCK FONS VAN DYCK De burgemeesters van de kustgemeenten waren deze week niet blij met de beslissing van Toerisme Vlaanderen om te stoppen met buitenlandse promotiecampagnes. In het verleden werd hiervoor 1,2 miljoen ge- investeerd. Sommige burgemeesters vre- zen zelfs dat de beslissing een daling van 20 tot 25 procent in het aantal toeristen teweeg zal brengen. De bevoegde minister, Ben Weyts (N-VA), liet snel weten dat hij onze kust nog wel wil blijven promoten, maar minder via klassieke middelen, zoals krantenadvertenties, en meer via sociale media en public relations. (DS 18 novem- ber). Met als onderliggend argument dat de schaarse budgettaire middelen beter ef- ficiënter ingezet kunnen worden. Eerder besliste ook de federale overheid om de be- volking te informeren over een mogelijke black-out van het elektriciteitsnetwerk via het internet, sociale media en een perscon- ferentie, omdat er geen geld is voor een ‘dure’ mediacampagne. Er valt overigens wel wat te zeggen voor een overheid die investeert in sociale me- dia. Het populairste netwerk, Facebook, telt in ons land elke maand 5,6 miljoen ge- bruikers. De grootste concurrent is YouTu- be, met 4,2 miljoen gebruikers. Het in som- mige kringen zeer gehypete Twitter kan op ruim een half miljoen maandelijkse ge- bruikers rekenen. Het zijn onbetwistbaar indrukwekkende cijfers. Zelden is een me- erin geslaagd om in schare volgelingen te werven. Maar wie kritisch naar de cijfers kijkt, merkt meteen ook op dat zelfs het zeer succesvolle Face- book weliswaar één op de twee Belgen be- reikt, maar omgekeerd ook dat de helft van de Belgen niet wordt bereikt met Face- book. Twitter is helemaal een niche medi- um, want het bereikt per maand amper 6 procent van de Belgen, weliswaar vaak zelfverklaarde opiniemakers. Een over- heid die eenzijdig kiest voor sociale media, is dus een overheid die op het vlak van in- formatieplicht de helft van de bevolking in de kou laat staan. Onderzoek en praktijk leren intussen dat in een moderne communicatiecampagne zowel klassieke als nieuwe media hun plaats hebben, complementair met elkaar zijn en op die manier het meest effectief de boodschap overbrengen naar de beoogde doelgroep. Een en/en-verhaal dus. De meeste bekroonde campagnes op het vlak van effectiviteit, zoals elk jaar beloond met een Effie-award, steunen precies op die versterkende integratie van middelen.
