AdFed Columbus: Social Media Strategy January 18, 2013

THE MAYANS WERE WRONG…

But, so was Newsweek

“Visionaries see a future of telecommuting

workers, interactive libraries and multimedia

classrooms. They speak of electronic town

meetings and virtual communities. Commerce

and business will shift from offices and malls

to networks and modems. And the freedom of

digital networks will make government more

democratic.

But, so was Newsweek

Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all

common sense? The truth is no online

database will replace your daily newspaper, no

CD-ROM can take the place of a competent

teacher and no computer network will change

the way government works.”

NewsWeek February 26, 1995

SO WHAT? WE (BRANDS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, PEOPLE)

NEED TO BE IN SOCIAL MEDIA!

A share campaign

An infographic

A Twitter party

A blogger outreach campaign

A Facebook page

A Twitter handle

A corporate blog

A Social Media Strategy is not…

HOW?

Organizational Goals

Marketing Strategy

Digital Strategy

Social Media Strategy

Establish the participation motivation

– “I’m joining social media because xxxxxxxxxx”

Identify the challenges or needs

– Does the organization have the resources to sustain long-term engagement?

– Is there a cultural barrier around message control?

Gain a perspective on yourself and the competition

– Walk the walk before talking the talk

– Start small, test and learn

– Guide the experience; be authentic and operate in real time

Set benchmarks

– Social Networks (fans, # of event attendees)

– Social Media (media impression, number of blog placements, number of tags)
