    13. Listening Use free tools like Google Alerts (google.com/alerts) for your name, company & brand names, competitor names, spokespeople names and key issues for “as-it-happens” e-mail notifications. Utilize other tools like Lijit, spy.appspot.com, etc. to research Be aware of social media’s influence on mainstream media and Search
    14. Google is your friend “1.26 billion search engine queries every day, globally.” Piper Jaffray & Co. “Google has 72% of all U.S. searches.” Hitwise, October 2008 “Your reputation is shaped by ten blue links on a white background.” Andy Beal
    15. Social Media
    16. Social Media
    17. Put the “Me” in Social Media It’s your name – own it There’s a virtual land grab happening Optimize – create your own ‘Google Juice’ Monitor conversations – use live focus groups Engage directly – leverage disintermediation Be human – demonstrably responsive Be unexpected – established brands are “This is a time in which a lot of bold experimentation...via social media, is called for.” - Pete Krainik, Founder, CMO Club
    18. Social Media Best Practices Be honest Be responsive Be respectful Be transparent Be even-handed Be enthusiastic Don’t market. Listen and converse
    19. Publish your own content Choose a path that works for you Start blogging, tweeting and/or livestreaming—but with a purpose Provide blog-friendly information, Top 10 lists—something you excel at Link to MSM and blog posts and share your thoughts
    20. Blogs Participate Comment on blogs (use services like Disqus to aggregate your comments) Get to know your key industry/issue bloggers Treat them like tier one contacts BUT approach with care and tact Leave comments, e-mail them 1:1 Develop cross-readership relationship
    21. Mr. Fry asks an excellent question
    22. Microblogs It’s “of the moment.” It’s live 24/7/365 Blogging in 140 characters or less Think published IM conversations Like Facebook status updates Update by Web, IM or mobile Twitter is the big one Google ‘bots love Twitter code (e.g. what you tweet stays around forever)
    23. Microblog Facts
    24. Microblog Facts “Everyone’s doing it...” Ashton Kutcher (2,671,094 followers) ...including brands, your kids and HR The next iteration of blogging & ‘casting CNN News (2,196,855 followers) Being adopted by numerous brands, CEOs, CMOs (@BestBuyCMO), etc.
    25. Microblog Facts What’s up with the “@” sign? Refers to a person’s “handle” or user name on Twitter (e.g. @perfectporridge) What the hell is a hashtag? Hash (“#”) tag refers to the use of “#” before a term to help users aggregate conversations (e.g. “#mnama”) How do I tweet something privately? Use a “d” (for “direct”) before a user name
    26. Microblog Best Practices Monitor Twitter (search.twitter.com) Leverage the tools to make life easier TweetDeck, Tweetie, etc. Subscribe to key advocate feeds Identify areas of your business that are appropriate to ‘Tweet’ about Encourage employees to ‘Tweet’ Use Twitter for media outreach Use it for live focus groups & research
    27. Case Studies At 9:12 a.m., minutes before P-I reporter Neil Modie learned about Jennifer Dunn’s death, and before it had hit any news site or could be found on a Google News search, the former Congresswoman’s death had already been reported on Wikipedia. Its source? A breaking news alert from someone on Twitter.
    28. But don’t screw up “Worst Twitter Post Ever”
    29. Social networks
    30. Social networks
    31. Social Networks Not somewhere you go, but something you do (hopefully) consistently More like joining a gym or starting a diet For people in marketing and advertising, there are primarily two networks LinkedIn Facebook
    32. LinkedIn The ultimate business social network This is your living, breathing resume Register on LinkedIn with appropriate professional history and contact information so you’re accessible to search engines, media and your online stakeholders Request/Leave recommendations Research employers, competition, prospects Position yourself as an expert by participating in LinkedIn Answers
    33. Facebook Don’t bet against the “social graph” You can learn a lot just from public pages Facebook offers robust privacy and group settings. You should use them Please remember places like your “wall” are still virtually public Excellent ecosystem for research (e.g. check the “Advertising” link at bottom)
    34. Social Network Best Practices Identify where your audiences are Join, listen and participate in those communities Don’t market at first – just be honest, humble and responsive Consider using social networks as marketing and networking platforms following research
    35. Sharing Services Essential qualities Free-to-use Often community-based Tags Embed codes (e.g. redistribution) Search ‘bots tend to love them and the referring links you build using them
    36. Sharing Services Images Flickr, Photobucket Video YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler Revver Presentations Slideshare, SlideRocket Portfolio/Aggregation Extendr, Behance, Google Profile
    37. Sharing Services Best Practices Tag your videos and photos correctly and accurately Use terms users will search for Ensure all content is shared Share/link across multiple sites
    38. Wikipedia
    39. Wikipedia Statistics Grows by 30 million words per month 20 million views per day Just the home page! Critical SEO component (usually top 3 results in a Google search) < 1% of all users edit content
    40. Wikipedia Best Practices Play by the rules Don’t make changes If you know of factual errors, join the discussion and cite a third party link showing the correct information Monitor and subscribe to relevant entries Be thick skinned
    41. Image by Rennett Stowe via Flickr Got all that?
    42. Recap “The Brand of You” in two easy steps: 1. Listen. (Google is) Research how co-workers, friends and others utilize LI, FB and other venues and tools—what works, what doesn’t? Formulate a personal strategy 2. Participate Choose/filter social media and networks based on your strategy; be consistent; give your efforts plenty of time before you judge what is/isn’t working
    43. Thank you.
