Social Media Principles
A conversation and a discussion on the Social Media Principles

Chris Heuer
Founder, Social Media Club
Creative Catalyst, AdHocnium
Welcome to the social world...

• Welcome to the era of conversation


• Spin doesn’t work, people smell BS a mile away, and they tell their
  friends (and everyone else) to avoid it


• Advertising isn’t eective anymore, no one is watching the ads and no
  one cares


• People want to talk to people, not marketing and communications
  professionals


• The Cluetrain is well on its way to the future, are you on it?
  http://cluetrain.com/
Social Media is tearing
down the walls that keep
us apart and changing
the rules that have kept
us from being human
inside our companies.
There is no secret sauce...
It’s not about pulling
levers  getting results

Being social is a way of thinking
from which you can create new
opportunities to talk WITH your
audiences and get the cash
register ringing BECAUSE you are
being helpful and focused on
them, not yourself

It’s more art then science                                How do you use the brush?
Your perspective and your attitude is what will
determine success or failure...
Which is why I think these Social Media Principles
are where we must start.
The Social Media Principles

  • Be Honest


  • Be Respectful

Great Products aren’t
sold, they’re bought

pay for mediocre products.”
