Envision that perfect person for your program
#3 Find you Audience
#3: Find your Audience: One Word . . .




                 Empathy
#3: Find your Audience: Case Study
 1: ID the Players   2: Know the Players              3: Pick the Players
                     •   Crowded space
       CxO           •   Distrustful
                                                           Develop content to
                     •   Right-hand person                 influence the influencers
      Exec           •   Chosen Discipline                 Smart content for smart
                                                           people looking to get
                                                           smarter
                     •   Looking to move up
                                                           Gain trust
    Mgmnt.           •   Chosen Discipline                 “Good nose for manure”

                     •   Looking for content/information
      SME            •   Driven by being “smarter”


                     •   May (or may not) be interested
    Staffers         •   “Muddled” Masses
#3: Find your Audience: Bootstrap Listening
                   Recipe for Finding an Audience:
• 3-4 eager people                   • Whiteboard or similar
• Internet Access                    • Keywords and Personas


                      Sprint Model (30-45 min)
1. Google: first keywords / products, assess ranking/competitors
2. Adjust keywords, sprint into social channels
3. Regroup, share insights (keywords, competitors, influencers, etc.)

                                 Assess:
•   Keywords: What are the keywords that best work for your solution.
    Will help with SEO later.
•   Communities: What groups are out there
    (LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogs, etc.)
•   Influencers: Who are they and where do they hang out. Go there.
•   Wikipedia: Often forgotten and used ineffectively
#4 Set measurements before you start
#4: Measurements: Before you start . . .




Two reasons:
1: You have to define success

2: You may not be able (or easily able) to measure
#5 Social Media is not free . . . and may not be your
                      answer
#5 Social Media is not free




  “Social Media is not the cure for every problem
                without a budget”




Social Media is a Marketing Channel:
Treat is just like any other - it has a cost/benefit analysis
#6 Sustain. Think day 180, not day 1
#6: Sustain: Case Study

Lord Voldemort Program                 CFOKnowledge.com
1. Slick site                          1. Hidden in plain site

2. A blog a day . . . .                2. 6 month calendar

3. Day 30, layer in video              3. Stockpile of content

4. Day 60, no videos, no new blogs,    4. Stuck to schedule

5. No site                             5. Now on year 3

                                       6. Fastest growing community at SAP



Learning:                              Learning:

Scaling too quickly led to implosion   Plan for the long haul and you may get
                                       there

                                                                             ToE




                                            Time



                 ToD – easy to lose enthusiasm if you don’t see “results”

                ToE – easy to stay enthused and engage if you get feedback
#7:Sell Internally: Dashboards




1. Monthly feedback mechanism

2. Allows stakeholders ability to “alter their game”
“You cannot plough a field by turning it over
in your mind” - Anonymous
“We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a
“Take calculated risks. That is quite
different than being rash” – George S Patton

  20. You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind. – AnonymousThe only way you are going to get in there and do this is to do it. Even if you are managing a program, you have to . . . have to . . . have to take a turn at doing everything you ask your team to do. You should try to build your bench by having team members take different roles. I am more of a writer, but I take roles reviewing metrics, community managing, creating video content, etc. because I need to know how to do these if I am going to help run these programs.
  21. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. – AristotleTry everything, but pick your battles and do that really well. This is both personal and for your program. My boss, the CMO of SAP, told me the following: it took 1 year before his blog – written every Sunday for 52 weeks, received 1000 views per month at the end of the year. Year two, (he missed posting Christmas week) 2000 views per month. Year three, 4000 per month. He is now around 8,000 per month. He is a good writer, but excellence for him is a habit – something you do continuously.
  22. Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash. – George S PattonNothing like ending on a Patton quote . . . The great thing about social media – it is the Marketing Hinterland. Unlike other marketing channels, your ability for true exploration and experimentation is wide open. Take some calculated risks. Get in there and mix it up. This doesn’t mean jumping in without a plan, or being rash
