ENOUGH TO SCREW YOU UP
Authority: People tend to obey authority figures, even when asked to perform objectionable acts
Liking: People are easily persuaded by other people they like
Scarcity: Perceived scarcity generates demand
Reciprocity: People tend to return favors
Commitment and Consistency: People committing orally or in writing to ideas or goals are more likely to honor those commitments for self-image congruity
Social Proof: People will do things they see other people doing
People are still people http://t.co/dubnhi7Q

The opportunity for innovation is in the integration of
Success factors

CONTENT
INNOVATION
CONVERSATION
CONTEXT
CHANGE OR DIE (SLOWLY, BUT SURELY)
CONVERSATION: Talking with—not to—the customer/the client/the world
CONTENT: Being a successful media outlet is arguably as critical as the core business skill
CONTEXT: If your content is the payload, then your context is the delivery system you use
SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE FUTURE

Twitter is a tactic
Real-time access to relevant conversations (talking with your audience) versus search (talking to your audience)
In evolving your messaging processes to make use of the platforms for increased reach
Unfiltered access to every relevant persona at the price of opportunity cost
Twitter (www.twitter.com) is a highly democratic message
delivery system—as are all other social media platforms
(Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, etc.)
The barriers to entry are in learning the syntax, understanding
the players in the relevant conversations, resourcing your
content execution, and understanding how to influence the
conversation
The opportunities are

‘TALK TO’ AND ‘TALK WITH’

Find conversations with search terms
‘TWITTERPATED’ MARKETING & PR
WHERE IS THE LOVE?
Begin your Twitter searches with your most relevant key
terms
Use a Twitter client that allows you to view multiple streams of
consciousness (I like Tweetdeck. Hootsuite is popular, too)
Lurk before you speak—don’t propose on the first date—
because what you say is permanent

WORK ISN’T A DIRTY WORD
One addition to your press release process
Start today to find the relevant conversations (80/20 rule) on the relevant platforms (80/20 rule)
So in the 8-12 hours following your press release, you converse, point to content in the proper context (this is pedestrian, sweaty, fun, real work)
WHAT’S A #TWEETCHAT?

STRUCTURED ANARCHY

A good #hashtag (this part is a branding exercise)
A web property
Key components of a #tweetchat

Kip Meacham, One of Your Peers
INNOVATION & MARKETING
[T]he purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise
has two--and only two--basic functions: marketing and innovation.
Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs.
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker, Premier 20th Century Business Consultant
