WHO’S THE MARTYR? THE REFUGEE?
SO WHY ARE WE HERE TODAY?




We need to build awareness.

We need to convert the curious.

We need to increase revenue.
BUT WE’RE FACING MANY HURDLES


No one has the time.

Everyone is distracted.

Trust is harder to come by.

Expectations can often be ridiculous.

One blogger can outshout our entire
budget.
“MAYBE SOCIAL MEDIA WILL
BE THE MAGIC BULLET.”

FAN PAGE… ! (
TWITTER FEED… !
YOUTUBE CHANNEL… !



…NOW WHAT?
               (#crickets)
“AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?”

“CAN WE GET MORE FANS?”

“MORE DIALOGUE?”

“HOW DO I GET MORE ATTENTION?!?”
LET’S TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT
THE PRACTICE OF MARKETING
& PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
MODERN
MARKETING
WAS BORN IN
THE MID 20TH
CENTURY
THE “OUTBOUND VOICE”


                       150 YEARS OF INERTIA

                       EVERY NICHE HAS EVOLVED
                       INTO AN INDUSTRY

                       TELL YOUR STORY - EXPLAIN
                       AND COMMUNICATE YOUR
                       VALUE TO YOUR MARKET

                       HAS IT WORKED?

THE DISCONNECT FOR BOOMERS
Be proper. Formal looks better. Never block any opportunity.
Oversharing is “weak” & “prideful.” Guarded is safe. Your suit &
tie means you are successful and trustworthy.


THE REALITY FOR MILLENNIALS
Grew up with Google, so sharing means being found. Formalities
                                                   .
are boring. Would rather do business with the likeminded. A suit
& tie means you are out of touch or untrustworthy.

•! In 2009, changes in Canadian border policies
   regarding Mexican visitors created a stir amongst
   Mexican bloggers, and generated negative online
   mentions and sentiment toward Canada.
•! The Radar DDB Team showed up at Vancouver
   airport to provide Mexican visitors with a very
   enthusiastic and warm Canadian welcome.
•! The entire stunt was shot and uploaded to YouTube,
   where it created a positive effect on related
   conversation.

WHAT RESULTS WOULD KNORR
HAVE SEEN IF THEY’D ONLY
PLANNED SOME SOCIAL MEDIA
TACTICS?

OR JUST A COMMERCIAL?
AND WHAT IF
THERE WAS NO
EMOTIONAL
HOOK?
YOU DON’T NEED A SOCIAL
MEDIA STRATEGY.

YOU NEED
AN ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY.
AN INFLUENCE STRATEGY.
OR AN ACTIVATION STRATEGY.

WHATEVER THE MEDIA.
AN EMOTIONALLY APPEALING
            IDEA
              +
A MEDIA-AGNOSTIC APPROACH
              =
ENGAGEMENT, INFLUENCE AND
ACTIVATION ACROSS ALL MEDIA
A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS

•! Don’t try to do everything — do a few things, very
   well, based on an engagement strategy.
•! Quality of content and conversation will drive quantity
   of fans. Focus on quality. It’s not a damned basketball
   game – that’s “reach” thinking.
•! Boomers (often management) need to understand
   that affinity and authenticity have surpassed
   propriety. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
•! Do not be the interruption on the way to many
   customer’s destinations. Be the destination, for those
   who value your offering.
THANK YOU,
MOUNT ROYAL!

    WHAT RESULTS WOULDKNORR HAVE SEEN IF THEY’D ONLY PLANNED SOME SOCIAL MEDIA TACTICS? OR JUST A COMMERCIAL?

    AND WHAT IF THEREWAS NO EMOTIONAL HOOK?

    YOU DON’T NEEDA SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY. YOU NEED AN ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY. AN INFLUENCE STRATEGY. OR AN ACTIVATION STRATEGY. WHATEVER THE MEDIA.

    A FEW FINALTHOUGHTS •! Don’t try to do everything — do a few things, very well, based on an engagement strategy. •! Quality of content and conversation will drive quantity of fans. Focus on quality. It’s not a damned basketball game – that’s “reach” thinking. •! Boomers (often management) need to understand that affinity and authenticity have surpassed propriety. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. •! Do not be the interruption on the way to many customer’s destinations. Be the destination, for those who value your offering.
