Interactivity has become a crucial aspect of marketing. It allows companies to connect with their customers, often resulting in positive outcomes. Based on a literature review, this chapter discusses ten of the most pioneering tools used in interactive marketing. First it will be explained how each tool relates to the three dimensions of interactivity (active control, two-way communication, synchronicity), and insights in what dimensions are the driving forces behind each interactive marketing tool are provided. Second, results showing that research on the ten interactive marketing tools generally finds positive effects on diverse outcome variables, such as enjoyment, urges, and behavioral intentions, are discussed together with conflicting outcomes (e.g., the effect on cognition) and the potential negative effects of the tools (e.g., privacy concerns and intrusiveness). It concludes with the recommendation for marketers and researchers to collaborate and actively try out (innovative) interactive marketing tools while closely monitoring their effects.

Lang stond marketing en customer experience ten dienste van een eenzijdig belang van organisatie, en fungeerden mensen primair als middel (in de rol van klant) tot financiële doelstellingen. Echter, het huidige debat in de samenleving over duurzaamheid en de inzet van geavanceerde technologie zet het belang van mensen, samenlevingen en de planeet sterker aan. Dit vraagt van organisaties om daar rekening mee te houden en een bijdrage aan te leveren, naast hun eigenbelang. Organisaties wordt gevraagd om meervoudige waardecreatie te realiseren. Maar wat vraagt dit van de competenties van marketing & customer experience professionals? Welke nieuwe rol spelen zijn binnen organisaties om aan deze veranderende verwachtingen te voldoen?

De bedragen die ondernemingen betalen voor de officikle sponsoring rechten van mondiale topsportevenementen zijn in een relatief korte periode explosief gegroeid. Deze groei is voor een belangrijk deel te wijten aan het toenemend belang van sponsoring van belangrijke topsportevenementen en het beperkte aanbod van deze evenementen. Tal van ondernemingen die niet tot dit selecte gezelschap behoren zien echter ook de communicatiemogelijkheden van deze evenementen. Dit betekent dat ondernemingen manieren zijn gaan bedenken om toch vooral de suggestie te wekken dat er een sponsorrelatie bestaat met deze evenementen. Deze methoden zijn ook bekend als ambush marketing.

Today, Dutch National Non-profit Sports Organizations (NNSFs) experience financial pressures. Two indications for this are described in this paper i.e. increased competition in the sports sector and changes in subsidy division. Decreasing incomes from subsidies can be compensated with either increasing incomes from a commercial domain or increasing incomes from member contributions. This last solution has been the motive for the increasing interest in the use of marketing techniques as a solution for the growing uncertainties. Many NNSFs have participated in a special marketing program in order to enlarge their marketing awareness and create a marketing strategy. This paper deals with possible impediments resulting from the implementation of the marketing strategies. It is primarily based on a literature review, however, the first results from a qualitative research to the increasing use of marketing techniques among NNSFs provides insights in the experienced impediments of NNSFs .

The media are an integral part of how advanced societies are controlled. After almost a century of ‘broadcasting’, a new media logic can be seen to have emerged. It is not centralized, nor does it appear to depend on manipulative power (such as the priming and framing of news and thereby the agenda of political discussion; or ‘advertising’ as a way to influence consumers to buy particular products). It is the logic of ‘networking’ that is not about producers and consumers but about redaction and multipliers.1 Media content in this logic may in an archeological sense be seen as having an author or a point of origin – but the routes it takes and the way in which it spreads offers new means of community building, identity construction and meaning making which are of much greater interest. In this paper we take a double perspective (business and critical) to assess how the old and the new media logics are both relevant today and what terms are best used to work with and in the media, and to reflect on them. While producers and consumers are the senders and receivers of broadcasting in the age of the nation-state, networking logic has little use for these terms: it also moves away from marketing terms such as eyeballs and stickiness to terms such as spreadability and multiplication and redaction. The perspective of what used to be known as ‘qualitative audience research’ can prove useful to innovative and sustainable marketing and to critical reflection on media culture. Here its restyled form will be called participant design. It suggests that strong marketing respects and co-opts potential customers in much the same way that relevant media criticism is, not given from an external and possibly paternalist but from an inside perspective that highly values self-reflexivity.2

World globalisation drives companies to undertake international expansion with the aim of retaining or growing their businesses. When companies globalize, managers encounter new challenges in making international marketing strategy (IMS) decisions, which are influenced by perceived cultural and business distance between their home- and foreign country. Telkom Indonesia International (Telin) was formed by Telkom Indonesia (i.e. the state-owned company in the telecommunication industry in Indonesia) to engage in international business within a global market. The central question in this study is to what extent do managers’ perceived cultural and business distance between home- and foreign country influence their IMS decisions? A mixed research strategy will be employed by applying qualitative and quantitative methods concurrently. The data collection will involve interviews with CEOs and managers, alongside a web survey to 55 managers of Telkom's. Results suggest important consequences for IMS decisions and emphasizes the need for dialogue on perceptions of cultural and business characteristics of countries.

De afdeling Inholland Communicatie beheert een aantal social media platformen waarmee op corporate niveau wordt gecommuniceerd. Verder zijn veel 'eigen' - vaak onderwijs gerelateerde - platformen ontstaan en actief. Samen met het lectoraat Digital World is een project gestart om te onderzoeken of het mogelijk is een collectief gedeeld communitygevoel uit te dragen en online op te bouwen. Welke keuzes maak je, hoe communiceer je, wat stel je voorop: marketing of onderwijs?
