What can we learn from others Social Media mistakes?
There are two main forms of Social Media Fail, firstly when
organisations get dragged into a Social issue by a third party,
often a customer, and…
When an organisation creates a home grown problem through
inappropriate use of the channel or just a good old mistake!
First the latter: ‘good ole home grown fails’
Social Media users don’t like to be conned and the
Danish Tourist Board video misled a number of people
and left a bad taste (in fact it was arguably in bad
taste!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiKRA-syT5M
Habitat got the use of
hashtags wrong several
years ago now…
But what was Kenneth
Cole’s excuse?
GSK got
dragged into
 the channel
when 2 high
      school
    students
    found no
Vitamin C in
RTD Ribena
           15
Nestlé's response to Greenpeace as at first …
Legal,       and then …

 Call the lawyers!
Stupid,   and finally…
Apologetic!
So why would Westpac
make the same
mistake?

Managing risk in Social Media

Lessons we have learnt…
             You can run but you can’t hide!

    The MAD doctrine (Mutually Assured Destruction)

                 Respondez s’il vous plait

             He who fails to plan, plans to fail

Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans
