speed, amplification, pass-along value,
archival, offers instant feedback and more

*Mobile penetration: 141.6% **Internet penetration: 60.7%
Force 1: Rise of access
*Source: Malaysia, Q4, 2012, MCMC **Internetworldstats.com Dec 2011
35
Force 2: Media fragmentation
Opinion forming elite
• One-way, one-to-many
• Sole or few sources
dictating schedules and
headlines from top-
down.
• Very little engagement
or feedback encouraged
and even these are
edited.
Here it is, you decide
• Many-to-many
• Bloggers, tweeters,
podcasters, aggregators,
producers, commenters
post in near real-time
• Many sources engage in
the conversation from
grassroots-level.
Mass media >>> Masses of niche media
36
Force 3: Diverse media options
Then
Word-of-mouth
Print: eg. news, direct mail,
newsletters, magazines
Broadcast: TV, radio
Advertising
Public relations
Telephone
Direct Mail
Contests
Research reports
Face-to-face
Now
Word-of-mouse
Email
Websites, Forums, Chat rooms
Blogs eg.Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr
Social networks
eg. Facebook, LinkedIn, G+
Microblogging eg. Twitter
Video-sharing eg. YouTube
Podcasts
Mobile apps eg. iPhone, Android,
iPad, Tablets
Video chat eg. Skype, Facetime,
Hangout

EXERCISE:
Old media vs new media
DECK OF CARDS:
Separate the characteristics of
old media versus new media
45
Can we ignore
social media?
46
There will be consequences…
47
1. You won't know what people
are saying about you
The conversation is taking place anyway.
You can choose to participate or you can
ignore it, but people are talking -- even
when you're not listening.
48
2. You won't know what's going on
Listening in to conversations on Facebook, Twitter and the
blogosphere is like having a free focus group going 24/7.
 If you listen to your market, you'll be able to anticipate
customer needs, make better products, improve services and
hear what's wrong with what you are currently delivering.
49
3. No one knows the real you
• Someone may already be squatting on your brand and
spewing false corporate messages
• If you don't secure your brand accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, no one will know if it's real or fake.
 Get out there with your own voice and establish a
reputation for authenticity and truth - it's a lot harder
for someone else to hijack your brand.
50
4. When you need a voice, you
won't have any credibility
• Typically, organizations only think of a blog or a
Twitter account, after a crisis hits.
• Whether you're talking online or off, it takes
months – even years – to establish trust in a
relationship.
• You need to start the conversation in order to
start making deposits in the bank of trust.
Then when you need it, the credibility will be
there.
51
5. You're giving away a
competitive advantage
• Whether you are listening
or not, chances are your
competition is monitoring
what your stakeholders
are saying about you.
• They may get the
feedback you don’t and
be able to bring a new
product to market faster,
and meet the needs of
the marketplace better
than you can.
52
“Fish where the fish are!”
Users are spend more time in
social networks rather than
portals or destination sites.
Reach more people: Introduce
new users to your services or
products through conversation
Spread your message and
agenda: Embed on blogs,
social networks, video sites pro-
actively
Why use social media?
53
54
4-step social media guidance
Step 1: Listen
What are people
saying about your
brand online?
Who’s saying what?
Who comments and
responds?
What they say and
how they say it.
55
Make friends – one at
a time
Participate in
conversations and find
your voice
Observe comments
and reactions, if any
Do not dominate the
conversations!
Step 2: Connect
56
2/3 of the economy now influenced by
personal recommendations – McKinsey&Co
57
Step 3: Add value
Find unique and
genuine ways to reach
out to help.
Bring authority and
credibility to the
conversation.
Do not flood streams
with marketing
messages!
58
Step 4: Measure
Track pageviews, unique
visitors, downloads,
embeds, subscribers,
followers, fans
Cost savings, sales and
call-to-actions
Weigh sentiment, positive
vs negative comments,
issues resolved, feedback
received
59
Key trends in social
networks in 2013
• Mobile first
• Visual: Rise of video, photos
• Humanizing the experience wins
• ROI: right content, right context = $
• Community management going in-house,
round-the-clock monitoring is the reality.
• Early days yet, big corporations still make
blunders

  • 46. 46 There will be consequences…
  • 47. 47 1. You won't know what people are saying about you The conversation is taking place anyway. You can choose to participate or you can ignore it, but people are talking -- even when you're not listening.
  • 48. 48 2. You won't know what's going on Listening in to conversations on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere is like having a free focus group going 24/7.  If you listen to your market, you'll be able to anticipate customer needs, make better products, improve services and hear what's wrong with what you are currently delivering.
  • 49. 49 3. No one knows the real you • Someone may already be squatting on your brand and spewing false corporate messages • If you don't secure your brand accounts on Twitter, Facebook, no one will know if it's real or fake.  Get out there with your own voice and establish a reputation for authenticity and truth - it's a lot harder for someone else to hijack your brand.
  • 50. 50 4. When you need a voice, you won't have any credibility • Typically, organizations only think of a blog or a Twitter account, after a crisis hits. • Whether you're talking online or off, it takes months – even years – to establish trust in a relationship. • You need to start the conversation in order to start making deposits in the bank of trust. Then when you need it, the credibility will be there.
  • 51. 51 5. You're giving away a competitive advantage • Whether you are listening or not, chances are your competition is monitoring what your stakeholders are saying about you. • They may get the feedback you don’t and be able to bring a new product to market faster, and meet the needs of the marketplace better than you can.
  • 52. 52 “Fish where the fish are!” Users are spend more time in social networks rather than portals or destination sites. Reach more people: Introduce new users to your services or products through conversation Spread your message and agenda: Embed on blogs, social networks, video sites pro- actively Why use social media?
  • 53. 53
  • 54. 54 4-step social media guidance Step 1: Listen What are people saying about your brand online? Who’s saying what? Who comments and responds? What they say and how they say it.
  • 55. 55 Make friends – one at a time Participate in conversations and find your voice Observe comments and reactions, if any Do not dominate the conversations! Step 2: Connect
  • 56. 56 2/3 of the economy now influenced by personal recommendations – McKinsey&Co
  • 57. 57 Step 3: Add value Find unique and genuine ways to reach out to help. Bring authority and credibility to the conversation. Do not flood streams with marketing messages!
  • 58. 58 Step 4: Measure Track pageviews, unique visitors, downloads, embeds, subscribers, followers, fans Cost savings, sales and call-to-actions Weigh sentiment, positive vs negative comments, issues resolved, feedback received
  • 59. 59 Key trends in social networks in 2013 • Mobile first • Visual: Rise of video, photos • Humanizing the experience wins • ROI: right content, right context = $ • Community management going in-house, round-the-clock monitoring is the reality. • Early days yet, big corporations still make blunders

Editor's Notes

  1. Passenger on ferry Janis Krums clicked a snapshot with his iPhone of US Airways Flight 1549 partially submerged in the Hudson River and tweets rescue of passengers in Hudson River after plane crash.
  2. Same pic appeared on front pages of major dailies.
  3. The captain of a luxury cruise liner that capsized off Italy's coast may have steered the ship too close to shore so that its head waiter could salute his family in a pre-planned stunt that was posted on Facebook. Just minutes before the Costa Concordia struck rocks and began taking on water, the head waiter's sister updated her Facebook status to say: " In a short period of time the Concordia ship will pass very close. A big greeting to my brother who finally gets to have a holiday on landing in Savona." Captain Francesco Schettino, 52, reportedly invited the head waiter, Antonello Tievoli, on to the bridge as he steered the vessel towards the coast of Giglio on Friday night. "Come and see, Antonello, we're right in front of Giglio," the captain told Tievoli shortly before the crash, according to Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper. It also quoted witnesses who claimed the waiter had warned Captain Schettino just before the accident, saying: "Careful, we are extremely close to the shore." Captain Schettino may have performed the sail-past also as a salute to an old colleague, a former admiral from the cruise line, who was not even on Giglio on Friday night.

Costa Cruises offered compensation to passengers (to a limit of €11,000 a person) to pay for all damages including the value of the cruise. One-third of the passengers took this offer. It had 3,206 passengers and 1,023 crew members on board
  5. Captain Chesley " Sully " Sullenberger seen as hero because he successfully ditched US Airways Flight 1549, which had been disabled by striking a flock of Canada geese during its initial climb out, over the Hudson River off Manhattan, New York City, on January 15, 2009. All of the 155 passengers and crew aboard the aircraft survived. Captain Francesco Schettino seen as a villain because he abandoned the ill-fated cruise ship Costa Concordia after it partially sunk and ran aground at Isola del Giglio, Tuscany, on 13 January 2012 before all the passengers were rescued. The ship carried 4,252 people of which 32 lives were lost.
