Brand Managers be aware of the boiling frog theory!
Posted by: arpitd on: January 10, 2009
Boiling Frog theory states that:
If a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out. Thus, a frog can be boiled alive if water is heated slowly.
It is a speculation that social media will gradually replace traditional media. Yet lot of brands are not using social media.
Are they not noticing the trend? My interpretation using the boiling frog theory, is that brands which shy away from social media, would be burnt alive as the entire marketplace and trends are changing slowly.

Brilliant way to put the point across, I say!
