Editor's Notes
- Best stat – 14% vs 78%. Best form of marketing...? WOM + Referral. Social is WOM on STEROIDS. Social media is a bit like coming to a work function – some friends, you know some people, some are strangers but relationships evolve.
- Who’s on Twitter...? Everyone else can tune out for 30 secs.
- Uses Social Media? Success with Social Media? Move country? WHO WANTS TO WIN BLUEWIRE WINE..? Pass bucket & add your card. STAND UP: Who uses Facebook? Blogs? YouTube? Twitter? LinkedIn?
- Wasting time, say something wrong, start a fight, get fired, get sued, negative comments …
- Don’t have enough time, employees might waste time, it’s often banned.
- Jeff Jarvis, Computer warranty. Shocking customer service. Blogged + 253 comments. No response. Dell Hell. #1 on google for DELL. Share price dropped. Then they realised. Michael Dell came back, $1.5m to resurrect problem. Corporate Blog + Idea Storm. Met @RichardatDELL Now DELL are leading the way!
- 5 years ago: Twitter & Facebook didn’t exist, so faster now.
- Free. Social Media monitoring tool? LINK on landing page!
- Done properly can have a positive effect IF you know & follow the rules!
- Social media is like one big cocktail party. Meeting new people, hanging out with people we like. LISTEN, ASK, NEVER SHOUT
- Add Deakin Uni – to explain!
- Authentic + Honest
- WHAT STEPS did you do with last marketing effort to make it “sharable?”We did this for our event. 42 retweets. Which reached ~20,000 extra followers (personally endorsed too) REACHED 40 x our 521 followers. Who bought tickets via TWITTER (not on our email list).

- Facebook’s terms have changed slightly re: COMPETITIONS but the case study still stands as example of using existing features!
- BANK on facebook!
- Len Pryor. Google was #1, Microsoft was losing relevance. Len had fear of flying & overcame it by transparency. PR & Legal terrified, worked. 100k hits day 1, 5 million 6 months. TRANSPARENT, GENUINE, TRUST, THOUGH LEADER – exactly what you can do!
- Single Greatest Business Asset. National Publications, book deal & interactions with 100s of 1000s of small business owners.Significant Search Engine traffic, EVEN NONE TRUE, would still do it. Instrinsically rewarding. Makes better THINKER, WRITER, SPEAKER, SALESPERSON, FOCUSED on LEARNING...
- All marketers are for these 1-on-1 convos.
- Hypothetical – Robert Scoble – mega blogger & the Internet’s 1st TRUST AGENT – Deakin Uni– late at night – doesn’t quite get the hang of it --- and because his daughter is sick he gives up, spits dummy & gives it a terrible review on his blog. He tweets about it, blogs & causes huge reputational damage. HOW DO YOU RESPOND…?? Break into groups of 3 & 4 for a few minutes.
