    5 Things in 10 Years. A Practical Guide to SocialSphere, Millennials and Social Media Strategy. - Presentation Transcript

    1. 1 5 Big Things in 10 Short Years A Practical Guide to SocialSphere, Millennials, Social Media & Strategy Presented By: John Della Volpe SocialSphere, Inc. November 2009 Sunday, November 15, 2009
    2. 2 Millennials are the largest generation in human history. That makes them the largest market in human history. Millennials, true digital natives, live in a sea of technology and “new media.” This is a global phenomenon that has already changed the world. Markets have no borders. Time and distance shrink every year. The global “wired” market has gone from 400 million to 2 billion in the past ten years. Projected growth is from 2 to 2.5 billion between now and 2014. http://www.etforecasts.com/products/ES_intusersv2.htm#list http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisjohnbeckett/453104577/ Sunday, November 15, 2009
    3. 3 This generation has trust issues -- especially with traditional media and old institutions -- and they are not afraid to let you know it. These “issues,” along with their tech literacy, have migrated across generational lines. http://www.theinsider.com/photos/892811_Jessica_Alba_Is_That_Your_Middle_Finger_Or_Are_You_Just_Happy_To_See_Me?&c_id=892810&c_type=news http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=middle+finger&qpvt=middle+finger&FORM=Z7FD1#focal=437e26a1391dc8ca552f22fd7fe515e4&furl=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.static.flickr.com%2F3291%2F3118283769_7b8deab5fe Sunday, November 15, 2009
    4. 4 SocialSphere’s deep understanding of technology and its impact on people, will give your organization the strategies to earn trust and develop loyalty inside and outside your corporate walls. We understand how this impacts other generations and stakeholders. We give you the strategies and tools to have a deep reach beyond Millennials, and into both older/ wealthy and emerging/younger demographic cohorts. https://www.thirdage.com/files/couplecomputercrop.jpg Sunday, November 15, 2009
    5. 5 SocialSphere. Who We Are. SocialSphere enters into a three-phase strategic relationship with large companies and organizations in the U.S. and abroad that start from the top-down with the CEO or other key decision-makers. We start with the recognition that the world of information and media is broader and flatter than it ever has been – and old 20th century media and traditional ways of communication do not speak effectively or efficiently to the new generation of consumers, employees and other stakeholders who seek new ways to engage and make an impact in organizations they feel passionate about.   Time and distance compress further every day. But time and distance still matter. We were founded 30 paces from the house where Facebook was developed in Harvard Square. Our smart Cambridge tribe lives on the edge of new social media technology emerging every day -- and is at your service, developing a disciplined strategic path forward for your organization, in a fast changing world.

    8. 8 #1: Millennials are the Driving Force Behind the World’s Largest Market Sunday, November 15, 2009
    9. 9 Millennials Are the Largest Generation In the History of the World World Population by Age Midyear 2009 Estimate There are more than 2.3 Billion Millennials (ages 10-29) in the world. They represent more than 1/3 of Ages 70+ the world’s population and Ages 0-9 Ages 50-69 5% more than 1/4 of the U.S. 15% 18% population. Although they are not a monolith -- they Ages 30-49 think, act, work, 27% communicate and make decisions differently than Ages 10-29 most others -- and influence 34% just about everything you care about. http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/broker Sunday, November 15, 2009

    11. 11 Millennials Are Different Around the World We spent a quarter of last year traveling and meeting with business, government and academic leaders from more than two dozen countries around the world. While there are fierce differences in priorities, technology use, ideology and political outlooks around the globe -- the one thing that holds true is their universal thirst to have their inherent power recognized.

    12. 12 #2: One-Way Communicators Often Struggle with the New Multilateral Reality Sunday, November 15, 2009
    13. 13 Tread Wisely We’ve had many successes in the last few years, a few failures and learned a lot of lessons as well. Most of the lessons learned were due to either: Over-estimating the potential impact of old- marketers turned new. This may seem a little harsh, but it’s true. Social media is a completely different animal than traditional advertising, marketing and public relations. All media have their roles, but when executed well, social media strategy is a true, authentic, insightful, multilateral dialogue -- created in large part due to the inherent deficiencies of one-way vehicles that still dominate much of today’s media landscape; or... http://l.yimg.com/l/tv/us/img/site/79/83/0000057983_20090609173807.jpg Sunday, November 15, 2009
    14. 14 Tread Wisely [or] Under-estimating the difficulty and time necessary for building a sustainable “community” of purpose -- or place where there’s an exchange of knowledge or value. If you build it, there are no guarantees they will come. http://baseball.mikeandkatharina.com/wp-content/plugins/hot-linked-image-cacher/upload/baseballintelligencer.com/baseball/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/field-of-dreams-scene.jpg Sunday, November 15, 2009
    15. 15 Most Important Aspects of Strategic Social Media Strategy Communities, forums, exchanges -- all aspects of social media efforts -- and “flatter” organizations start with: Identifying your most passionate advocates; Empowering them with respect, technology and responsibility; Asking them for more, and always measuring. This must be a true collaboration involving senior leadership, day-to-day management, a targeted community and clear, measurable objectives. Incentives matter -- and they range from impromptu phone calls from the CEO to cold, hard cash. Sunday, November 15, 2009
    16. 16 #3: Social Media Strategy Is Serious Business, Decisions Should Involve Your Best People Sunday, November 15, 2009
    17. 17 Few things can transform a brand faster than -- a well executed or poorly executed -- social media strategy. Start engagements by assembling a kick-off meeting that includes your smartest people, which could include everyone from the CEO to the newest hire with great ideas, to discuss business objectives and measurement -- and make sure that you are comfortable knowing that your lead strategist: - Understands business (including your business), fundamental research and measurement; - Views social media as one part of an integrated business strategy -- and more than Twitter, Facebook and the latest widget; and - Was not working as a barista or finishing college six months ago. http://www.pciaonline.org/files/Proceedings/2007AfricaWorkshopProceedings/Photos/Day%204%20Data%20Analysis.jpg http://www.hammertonail.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/h2n-slacker-1.jpg Sunday, November 15, 2009

    21. 21 #5: Social Media & Its Impact on the Bottom Line Can Be Measured Sunday, November 15, 2009
    22. 22 Another Level of Measurement for Social Media Influence Our proprietary ORBITTM methodology and algorithms measure the most important influencers of brands and issues on the Internet. We map the “social sphere” across four quadrants: traditional media sites, industry media, social frameworks, and blogs and communities. Legend: Onsite engagement: Indicated by the thickness of the line around the circle. Reach: Indicated by the diameter of the circle. Bias (toward representing a student point of view): Indicated by + for positive, +/- for neutral and - for negative. Influence: Indicated is indicated by the closeness of each circle to the center of the chart. Topical frequency is represented by color. Orange is frequent, vanilla is neutral, and gray is low topical frequency.  = Frequent,  = Neutral,  = Low Topical Frequency [Source: SocialSphere, Inc.. ORBIT Report on College Admissions.
