The document discusses strategies for being creative on social media. It emphasizes that strategy and creative work must collaborate closely like engineers and architects. It also stresses the importance of planning propagation across social channels like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Additionally, it notes that the goal should be to influence what people say about a brand rather than just telling them what to say. A key part of social media campaigns is continuing to create and engage with audiences after launch through reactive, live content. Creativity and community management require a blend of strategic thinking, creative skills, and understanding social behaviors.

Editor's Notes
- Social Media is redefining the way we approach briefs. It ’s not enough to have an idea. We have to think about the consequences of an idea. How it ’s gonna resonate, be received by the audience. How content is going to be generated and how the idea survives in a long term, always on campaign. The different phases of the idea – the multiple briefs within a brief
- On SM more than any other "discipline", Strategy and Creative have to work together, like Engineers and Architects. We heard this morning a nice analogy. It ’s like a Ferrari. Design is nothing without a good engine, and vice-versa.
- Creating for SM is different from creating a single layered campaign. It's a multi-platform, multidimensional process where every word we write has more / long term consequences, so everything has to be strategically thought through. The BIG IDEA is just the starting point of social media. In this section we talk about the kind of questions you need to ask yourself to plan and think through all the phases of the project. In the same way that your creative needs more than just a BIG IDEA, your strategy should also consider which social media channels, and how to launch into each. Developing your content strategy together with planning (and a Community Manager if you have one,) means that you will have the right tools to engage the audience long-term. Depending on the brief you can start from the idea and then ‘translate’ into different social media channels, OR if you are asked to consider one particular channel you can think about how best to use consumer behaviour in that channel and over-lay brand considerations from there.

- People ’s reaction and participation become your live brief and informs the next steps of the campaign. Social as a behaviour and not a channel. So you have to 1. plan. 2. create. 3. listen. 4. plan again
- A social media campaign doesn ’t end at launch, it actually starts at launch. We have the core idea beforehand, but after launch, we continue creating it, in front of everyone, live, like a reality show. Like any good digital campaign success corners on the ability to test, learn and adapt quickly. Creative relies on strategy/community management to report back on what is working, so that content can be optimised. We have to learn with the campaign, do more of what works, correct what's wrong and keep finding ways of feeding this relationship with our audience. We have to think long term, but be quick to react.

- In some agencies the CM sits with strategy, in others on creative, some even in production. A sign that the line between departments is disappearing. And where this line merges, it ’s the CM. The intersection of Creative and Strategy. An emerging and fast growing job market.
