OPENING KEYNOTES
Heighten customer understanding and proximity to
generate unrivalled customer experience
Your customers have more choice - and power - than ever before. Yet
92% of marketers say that they could do more to understand and get
closer to their customers. Companies that do this – and connect with
their audiences in a meaningful, personalized and valuable way – will
not only improve their social performance, but competitive advantage
too. In the session, learn how to:
• Employ a customer-centric social strategy: Move away from a
product-centric approach, use customer insight to get better at
delivering what customers want
• Generate personalized customer interactions: Achieve brand
advocacy and loyalty through connecting with your customers
in a relevant, valuable and timely manner.
• Make it seamless: Make sure your presence on many marketing
channels is unified and harmonious to deliver a seamless
customer experience

4. Content Creation: Content that engages: Build your brand through

to understand your customer better, and use that insight to
build content that is valuable to them
• Tell engaging stories: Generate a meaningful and authentic
connection with your audience by shifting your focus from
campaigns to story-telling.
• New formats to ensure you cut through the clutter. Produce
‘snackable’ content that will get noticed, get shared, and
get audiences engaged.
Content Distribution: Maximize impact through Targeted, Timely and
Tailored content
• Right Place: Choose the right channels for your brand and
goals, understanding where your customers are, and the
best way to reach them.
• Right Time: Establish the structure and processes to ensure
you are nimble, being able to generate engaging and timely
content – fast.

5. Social Media Integration: Better internal collaboration for seamless
customer experiences
• De-silo Social Media: Embed social media across more
than just your marketing department to truly leverage the
power of social
• Be nimble in your thinking and response: Map out your
internal social infrastructure to enhance cross-functional
collaboration and streamline communication
• Achieve a unified external voice: Build the internal
processes to deliver consistent customer experiences
across multiple touch points
Harness the power of your employees for greater innovation and engagement
• Educate your employees: Effective training to ensure
employees are both up-to-date, and are proficient at
utilising social media
• Tap-in to your internal talent: Incorporate the processes and
culture which will allow employees to innovate, share and
drive new business ideas.
• Use employee advocacy to enrich your marketing:
Mobilize your employees to promote marketing initiatives
and share brand content, humanizing your brand and
increasing social engagement.
CASE STUDY: Use social to shift from campaigns to engaging stories
With the wealth of content out there, it is vital that companies
cut through the noise and get noticed, wherever their
audiences might be. Telling stories through your web, mobile
and social channels is often quite different and can also be
more engaging than traditional campaigns. Why? Because
with storytelling, a company can raise awareness, trust and
individuality, both in their products and brand as a whole. In this session, hear the invaluable insights of NBC News on:
• What makes a good story? The essentials of storytelling across TV and digital platforms from a brand which tells
engaging stories, every day, all day long.
• The right story, for the right time, shared in the right way. Learn to take a wealth of stories and information and turn this
into ‘snackable’ content that will trigger interest and engagement in your brand, from TV to social to the web.
• Tracking the impact of your storytelling: Everyone tracks success differently. For some TV producers, it’s video views
and “what’s trending.” For digital, it’s page views, time on site, unique visitors and shareability. Convincing executives
regardless of the difficulties of finding and pinning down ROI relies on knowing your audience and setting realistic goals,
then tracking the right metrics of success.

6. Social Media for Customer Care: Build loyalty through authentic and
transparent engagement
• Become a ‘trusted advisor’: Generate a 1-to-1 and human
relationship with customers through a personable and
personalized approach.
• Be agile, authentic and consistent: Effectively evaluate and
prioritize customer care issues to respond in an efficient,
timely and personalized manner.
• Collaborate for unified and enriched customer experiences:
Fully incorporate social media into your customer care
operations for a holistic internal approach, and consistent
external voice.
CASE STUDY: Monetize your social community: Incorporate commerce into
your existing social strategy, without alienating your consumer base
• Motivate your consumer at the right moment: Ensure your
messages and content are both beneficial and highly
targeted, pulling rather than pushing your customer.
• Inspire your consumers to influence your community: Drive
revenue and sales through harnessing the power of peer-to-
peer reviews, social sharing and word-of-mouth marketing

consumer in a way that humanizes as well as monetizes
