way things are measured…
We can’t stop only in
traditional KPI’s… we need
to have a 360º view of the
user experience…
It’s not a question of
number of users… is a
question of level of
engagement with our
proposal- time spent, depth
of interaction, type of it,
spread of it,…
A combination of hard & soft metrics …
26. Example 13: New ways to measure
New media, new KPI’s… new kinds of dashboards…
27. Social media sites, in fact…
Are media
platforms …
Basically their offer
you tools to listen,
interact, test,
populate, engage
with your 3f’s -
followers, friends,
fans…
“They allow to socialise & humanise your brand”
28. Example 14: Socialise the brand
BLUESHIRTNATION- BEST BUY SOCIAL NETWORK
D’STREET- DELOITTE SOCIAL NETWORK BLUESHIRTNATION- BEST BUY SOCIAL NETWORK
D’STREET- DELOITTE SOCIAL NETWORK
Create collaborative marketing
Retain talent, approach the company to campaigns. Has personal profiles and
the employees, share know-how,… groups of content created by employees
Collaborative customer care… a place to R&D Help to develop the brand…
29. Social media sites are
media platforms… but…
That doesn’t mean
that are brands
playground …
Social media galaxy is were users
interact with their similar … so brands
when they approach to them must
take care and add value to them …
Social media sites aren’t easy free
traffic places … they must be seen as
a environment where to develop add
value customer strategies …
30. Example 15: Not a playground

the conversation?... Don’t

way we consume content

34. The goal for a brand in
social media has to be…
Be where
consumers are…
And once there…
listen interact and
learn from them…
After that… you’ll
be able to try to
engage them…
“The diver must be where fish are …”
35. In social media… you can’t
decide to hide your brand…
People talks, says,
comments, shares,
rates, populates …
and you can’t control
it…
You can decide to be
active or inactive part
of it… but… be sure
that social media will
find you …
36. Social media changes the way
we must look at the net …
We must think in a
web space way
instead of a website
one.
Social media generates a
delocalisation of the content
& activity in the Net.
It requires a omnipresent
strategy and an effort to link
the content/ activity and
allocate it to be relevant and
useful to the users.
37. Example 17: They will find you
How represents
them in
Slideshare…
How represents them in Flickr…
38. When now very few of the
capabilities of social media,
so…
We must be always open to…
Collect
+
Learn
+
Analyse
+
Share
+
Scale
& then repeat what works …
“Social media is the new
marketing school… and our
teachers are the users”
39. Example 18: Users teach you
quot;We think our brand is going to be different because we
Interacting with users to create want people to feel there's a real person they're
connecting with, whether it's when they call us or through
better products, improve Twitter or any way they come in contact with us,quot; (Tony
existing ones…- building the Hsieh CEO)

Manhattan was perfectly natural. Most execs with 1,600 employees and doing over
$1 billion in annual sales would probably pass on having drinks with an individual
THESE BRANDS customer, but Hsieh is not your typical CEO. In the past week alone he had given
away shoes on Twitter, sent out an open invitation to a company barbecue and
solved a service problem a customer left in a blog comment. If this seems
BUILD COMMUNITY exhausting, Hsieh sees it as part of a larger strategy to build Zappos into a brand
on par with Virgin. …
40. In Social media the typical
mistakes brands make are …
1. Lack of time and resources For a CEO, there’s no such
dedicated
thing as a “little mistake”
2. Put at the front of it a team
under-skilled
3. Don’t shift the mindset

different to social media sites
1. The biggest ones are 1/10 the size
of the biggest SMS

Secondlife and WOW

46. Social media is in constant
evolution… the next
transformation…
1. Cross- platforms
2. Multi-regional
3. Vertical extensions
4. Making other genes
work
47. Social media is changing
the marketing… but the
bases doesn’t change…
Always… as WHY? Before

complexity to the planning-
more niche sounds

define objectives and have
clear that different objetives
