Politics
Sydney 2011 AD
@Keep_Carmel Case Study
Identical campaigns in many ways
with one glaring difference. Carmel
used Twitter and Verity didn’t.
Carmel won by a few hundred
votes. Verity lost by a few hundred.

Just as it was with politics, marketing used to get people talking
about their product, service or brand by… ‘Yelling and Selling’

Remember…
Google and similar alert systems cannot keep pace with today’s
social media conversations because…they are happening in
real-time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
… so who’s talking about your brand now?

Consider using social media to amplify your message
Live from a book signing in a suburban book store in Hamilton, Newcastle, NSW, there were
about 40 people in attendance.
With a live Twitter feed the audience of potential book buying customers was expanded to
more than 25,000.
24. #inclasswithbrad
Key to social media is
sociability
Control is not as successful
as influence
Embrace what people are
saying about you
Be a committed listener
Engage

Hootsuite, TweetDeck, SproutSocial and more
Hootsuite is dashboard that supports most social platforms. It allows
you to monitor and post live, filter topics, schedule posts, upload photos,
shorten links and more. TweetDeck is another dashboard that operates quite
a lot like Hootsuite however supporting fewer platforms with fewer features
while SproutSocial is also a dashboard with similar features to Hootsuite and
TweetDeck however with very useful analytical tools.
TweetReach, TweetStats, Klout and more
There are dozens of analytical tools that range from giving you the
ability to see depth of impressions of posts, topics or accounts through to
influence and sentiment.
Tweepi, ManageFlitter and more
Tools for finding accounts to follow and monitor by various
criteria and useful for tidying up the timeline by unfollowing or managing
accounts into lists or groups.
