Editor's Notes
- Using social media to initiate conversations and rally people is an undeniable culture shift. One, so powerful, that leading brands cannot ignore the un-yielded opportunity to capitalize on it. Social media is an essential component to any branding strategy. Forrester Research indicates that 43% of online users polled trust information from social networking profiles of people they know. This is considerably higher than that of company-driven email (28%) and social networking profiles (18%) and blogs (16%), the power of recommendations from friends and acquaintances is highly-valuable. To win in this environment, a brand must participate in the conversations online involving its brand to provide the right information. In addition, the brand should pull together evangelists who feel passionately about that message and can endorse it within their networks.
- Companies are adopting Social Media at amazing rates. The primary ways they are interacting are the following. Example of Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Skittles. And, if you think of it what business is doing isn’t all that different than what people are doing – branding, job search, research and leads.
- We will shift gears for a minute to do a quick ETR on CareerBuilder. Here is why you should listen to us about social media – we practice what we preach. We have participated in Social Media since 2005 and have developed a perspective and strategy about how to interact with social media. Our strategy is relatively loose, similar to Microsoft – whose internal policy is “Don’t be Stupid” – which is a commander’s intent designed to sum up their corporate communication policy.
- Here is a short depiction of our efforts on social media – our goal is to be the leading resource for job seekers looking for employment or career advice and a partner to employers looking to attract, hire and retain their employees. Our strategy is to continue to engage these audiences with relevant content. We have many platforms to share our message to our different audiences – in an environment that we can quickly get feedback. Social media supplements our traditional efforts of raising brand awareness and affinity with candidates and employers; all while positioning our company as a thought leader in recruitment innovation.
