A NEW media landscape • New technology – 24-hour news cycle – The sender and the receiver are equal – Instant news on your mobile • The new ‘journalist’ – ‘Everyone’ can become a journalist – Operates outside traditional rules and conducts – Trusted as sources of information

This is a challenge for corporations • New technology makes everyone a ‘witness’ – Everyone can listen, talk, share and publish – News spreads faster than ever – Big corporations are under ‘investigation’ by ‘everyone’ – One unhappy customer can easily create a huge crisis • You can’t ‘control’ the news flow – Less control of corporate reputation – Need to engage and communicate through social media Photo: http://www.mccullagh.org/image/d30-6/inauguration-protest-corporations.html

What is Social Media?

’Social Media is online conversations and sharing’ …as simple as that…

…you can’t choose not to be in social media – you’re there already…

9 + 1 things you have to think about working in IR

1. Monitor the conversation What are they saying about you? False information and rumours. Keep yourself up to date with your industry.

2. Think about distribution

3. Think about sharing Add sharing features to your Investor Relation websites - and be interesting

4. Invite people to talk with you

5. Make guidelines. Help your employees to be good with social media!

6. Investors are consuming all your content whether published by IR or not ”SpareBank 1 har lansert en egen iPhone-app med de nyttigste banktjenestene - nok til å bytte bankforbindelse, spør du oss”. http://icons.mysitemyway.com/wp-content/gallery/magic-marker-icons-arrows/114823-magic-marker-icon-arrows-arrow-styled-left.png

7. Use social media to build trust with stakeholders – Be a part of people’s info stream

8. Social Media is not just about Facebook, YouTube and Twitter….it’s also about culture, and the way we do business Everyone has to think about social media in an organisation Fraud! Social products and services

9. Don’t make your own communities. ’Fish where the fish are’. http://www.flickr.com/photos/changeforge/4265145390/

10. Live your life as if your grandmother is watching. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidbessent/89100289/
