Community management as a discipline is constantly evolving. What used to be the moderation of forums, blogs, Facebook pages, Twitter, (insert social tool here) is fast becoming a highly strategic and developed marketplace. On the corporate business-to-consumer side, community management may live within corporate communications, but the tactics involved and effects of real-time mediums on the organization as a whole largely affects everything. At Mall of America, community management is in a growth phase from the former to developing social business practices that function much like any other department within the organization. In this workshop, Lisa Grimm and Bridget Jewell of Mall of America will offer several case studies that show how community management and social business is affecting the organization. In addition, we will draft a faux community engagement strategy as a group so that attendees can take away practical application of topics covered in the workshop.

Editor's Notes
- Irony that internet and tech is bringing us further than closer… I would argue that it’s doing a little bit of both and this is why…
- Mass media modernized comunication, which is amazing in its own right, but also has ramifications that we’re really seeing today.
- Pretty damn funny, but how it brings into focus what we want to talk about today. Times have a changed, but a lot of leaders and businesses want to continue living in yesterday instead of today and tomorrow. Individuals are trained that this is how we communicated, which means that the effects of this show up in businesses – businesses using communication mediums as they have been trained to – as push channels and not those to have conversations with people.
- We’re going to be going over a lot of stuff today. We hope to articulate, through many illustrative examples and our story, what the entrance into social media and process of social business looks like - in hopes that what we’ve learned so far will help you in your social media plans.
- We want to share a few stories with you about how getting involved in social networking began at Mall of America. In 2008, Facebook (first month as a page, 15,000 fans), 2009 Twitter, #MOAPARKING (CNN spawned to join, CNN covered #moaparking) What it was like in the ‘early days’; how there wasn’t really some grand master plan, rather the desire and curiosity to test some of these tools. Blog in fall 2009 (BTS campaign), integration into the website in late 2010, now seeing 30,000 views/month on average. I’m a PR person, now doing social on top of traditional, trying to continue to enhance the guest experience. People wanted to talk to us…realization occurs… we need a social strategist. What was the hiring process like? How to screen, what dept. the person fits in… Lisa joins the team.

- Killing Kittens deck. How does all of this lay over our business objectives
- MUST LAY OVER MARCOMM AND BUSINESS GOALS – THIS IS NOT A BOLT ON… We really approached this with a good old 10-step PR Plan. It is my belief that most things can be solved by using one. Strategic planning is important, but I think it needs to be recognized here that plans change based on implementation and reactions. It’s just good to have a structure to which you stick to – and modify based on learning's as you move along. When I got to Mall of America, I took a look at the awesome foundation that had been laid and got to work developing social media strategy. I want to share a 10,000 foot view of that today, but first I want to define steps of the planning process so that it is further solidified when we go through MOA’s strategy. Goals are your general intentions, the big picture aims. Your objectives are the outcomes that represent achievement of that goal. Strategies are the action plans you’ll execute to reach the objective. Tactics are the pieces and parts of the strategy.
- Driving sales and traffic at MOA is the overarching goal for every single employee. This goal has numerous objectives and tactics that fit within it, but it’s the primary purpose for all of us to fulfill. When I set out to determine what were among the most important things, I used that main goal and our business objectives as my guide. Elaborate on all of these and explain their purpose.
- Emphasize the measurability of these. It’s very easy to set them up
- We are very tactic driven at MOA in everything we do. It took a while to take a step back and realize that while we are tactic-driven, we had tactics already in place that were reaching our goals, we just didn’t talk about it like that until Lisa stepped in and made us do the formal plan which has now lead to a more cohesive thought process for the team.
- The really great thing about real-time communication mediums is that the data is immediate. The measurement of programs is easier now than ever, and far more accurate, as you know that eyeballs have actually seen your content, or are traveling to your business, or have an experience with your product or service, or …Google AnalyticsFacebook insightsSocial Customer Relationship Management (SCRM)FoursquareYelpTrip AdvisorYouTubeFlickrMobile
- We’ve come full circle here. Conversations online – in real-time – have created an organizational shift, creating a sort of desiloing of activities. Talk about the realties of this; the good and the bad; how it is working within the company and what the future outlook. Share how we are working to solidify council of folks whose involvement is crucial in successful social business. This is HARD!
