[En] Nine Top Tips For Implementing Social Media

1. communities are important, but not every brand has one

2. don’t confuse comments with collaboration

3. avoid the meatball sundae effect

4. facilitate, facilitate, facilitate

5. respect your community and no hard-selling

6. great causes can work wonders

7. think user-benefit vs. company-benefit

8. openness, transparency and disclosure

9. execution is everything

http://bit.ly/9toptips4social


good practices and recommendations

> dos ….- long view, short term

execution- up to date & fresh content- team rostering- invite partners- blog scheduling- 10-15 posts p.m.- varying types of posts

- news, exhibitions, video, radio clips, links, short blogs, market vision etc.

- constrained lists (10/7/5/3)- popular subjects- focus on your niche, talk to

your audience (build your community)

- schematics work wonder- field experience

23


good practices and recommendations

> don’ts - “infiltrating” social networks- writing too many visionary articles

and crash- selling your wares- bland, high level BS- 10-page articles ( installments)- b2c subjects (at all cost)- online squabbling or attacks- all rush judgements- defamatary statements and libel,

mostly vis a vis partners- non personal images or that of

monuments (Big Ben etc.)- fretting because you don’t have

enough comments

24

no go areas

> flogs> fake comments> fake content> fake employees> spam and intrusion> infiltration> paying bloggers> …

Silicon Valley blogger bus tourSept 17-22, 2012

> 14 bloggers from Australia, China, Finland, France, Romania, UK, US

> asking the question: what next for social media, mobility and geolocalisation. And is there life after Facebook?

> blogging live at live.orange.com and their own blogs


http://live.orange.com/

why did we organize the blogger bus tour?

to ask the question: is there a new wave of innovation coming or will we witness the decline of Silicon Valley?
