The Social Media Revolution The Social Media Revolution Workshop at EACA Summer School July 8, 2010
Take away A basic introduction to social media An understanding of what a social media strategy looks like Practical experience of some of the tools The Big Question – what to sell to an ignorant client?
 
The old way If you want to communicate with lots of people you take one message and launch it so lots of people can see it
The new way Spaces where people can talk to each other and share stuff Attract small numbers of people but over a longer period of time
Putting fireworks in bonfires isn’t a great idea
Its different Traditional media Social media
Where we are at right now Where we need to be
What do you think social media is?

“ Social media is not about blogging, or wikis, or RSS or any of that sort of stuff.  It’s about how you use  listening and coalescing the conversations  that are going on to inform everything you are doing... “ ...It powers the fundamentals of the business – it changes everything”

Traditional media  and marketing
The world of  social media
KINDER Surprise Agency Brief Prepared by:  Kinder Category, Luxembourg For:  EACA International Summer School, 2010 Warning This is a one-to-many mass message brief It gives little direction to help a social media approach
What’s going on out there?
Not a world of  information It’s a world of  connection and action
The challenge: Get the connected crowd to  support  what you do, rather than  replace  what you do
It’s about how you use listening and coalescing the conversations that are going on
A social media strategy We like what you do We don’t like what you do Who are you, what do you do Here’s how to make it better CONVERSATION CONTENT COMMUNITY
Conversation Its the conversation ‘they’ want to have with you (or are already having about you)  In the places / spaces they want to have it
 
 
 
Practical session 1 Is there anything out there?
 
The Task Research and report back on what is going on in the Kinder digital space (and the kids and chocolate space and mums/play space) Tools / places to consider: Socialmention.com Whostalkin.com Google search Wikipedia Tag spaces in YouTube / Flickr
The conversation issue There is a lot of interesting stuff going on – but none of it linked to the current target consumer The toys and the ritual around reveal are The Thing None of the Kinder marketing activities have achieved any visibility in this space No one is telling the Kinder story
Show the client some charts
Show the client some charts
Content How we used to do it
 
An ad is an answer to a question that no-one ever asked
A question with a million$ answer I work at the top of a large office block I have a commute to work I like to combine my commute with some grocery shopping and a visit to the library I love waterslides Is there any way it might be possible to combine these activities?
 
A creative director speaks “ Err – its a metaphor for how having a Barclaycard allows you to glide through life and err... transactions”
Content warehouse Tells people what you are up to Contains the answers to all the questions a customer might have Brings your story to life
Content hub: a digital launch pad
 
Content hub examples
Community It usually better to support communities consumers have already built Think very carefully before you build your own If you do – keep it small and focused Never rent space in someone else’s community
 
 
 
The Big Question The client will want a car that drives on the water What do you do?
Building and telling the Kinder Story Creating buzz about the latest campaign
If the car is sexy enough, the client won’t notice the leaks
“ Maximising engagement at the first point of digital contact” (The strategy equivalent of sexy car that floats)
Create content that supports the creative campaign idea Monitor, respond to and stimulate the conversation that is taking place
Marmite  - example of content that supports a campaign
Lush – example of creating conversation
 
 
 
 
 
 
Practical session 2 Telling the story
The Task Come up with some content ideas that: Bring the Kinder Story to life Answer the questions people have about Kinder Support whatever creative ideas you may have developed so far Work out the basic infrastructure you will need to spread this content
Good Luck!
