Curation

• Longstanding activity—from newspaper clipping/scrapbooking to word of mouth practices

• Emergence of content editing/curating as a regular activity, for companies and for individuals

• Increasingly crucial activity in an era of information overload

• Particularly happening online now: 51% of people who get news online and use social network sites say they find out about what’s happening through people they “follow” (Pew 2010)

“(My curation strategy is) find good s#!+ and share it.”- Jason Falls, CafePress,

Taking a Transmedia ApproachA “transmedia” approach:

• Builds a company’s story across multiple touchpoints—in person, online, through marketing, etc.

• Emphasizes consistency in all communications

• Requires cross-dept. collaboration• Allows each “medium” to play the role that it is best at, as part of the

overall storytelling effort

How Does an Individual Build Their Brand?

Page 21: Social Media and Corporate Strategy

Transmedia Storytelling for Professionals . . .

• Is built on real-life relationships

• Has the advantage of having its story world “set” in the real world

• Focuses on the people behind the “brand” of a company

• Demonstrates the thinking/expertise which inspires a company’s products/services

• Emphasizes internal collaboration & external continuity

Why think about an executive’s individual brand?

• He or she is developing an individual brand as a professional, whether intentionally or not

• The best way to prove the company’s spirit and philosophy to potential and current customers is by living it.

• Think as well about her or his “digital footprint” and what happens when customers/prospects look the executive up online

• Consider how you educate all members of your team to think about the brand they’re building for themselves.

Page 24: Social Media and Corporate Strategy

How do you cultivate an executive’s digital footprint?

• Be deliberate with the way they represent themselves online

• Take stock of the executive’s current online footprint; “Google them”

• Pick platforms where the executive already communicates or those where the executive realistically can imagine himself or herself communicating to develop a professional presence

• Show who the executive is; demonstrate her/his passion and expertise
