Strategies in Corporate Communications: Fostering a Collaborative Culture in the Partnership Ranks
No question about it: culture is defined by the leadership of the firm. But if collaboration is a hallmark of the firm's culture, communications can play a large role in energizing collaboration. This session offers three valuable strategies to help facilitate clear, effective communication and foster creativity between law firm partners. Our presenters will address:
• The Vampire Syndrome: Killing Off Deadly Communications Permanently
A step-by-step program to remove impediments to collaboration that include dreadful practice descriptions, chilly biographies, pale internal updates and bloodless newsletters
• Beyond the Drum Circle
Creative ideas that foster and sustain collaboration.
• What's Your Partner's Elevator Pitch?
How to enable lawyers to "sell" one another through collaborative learning.

Fiona Mullan is the senior HR director for Microsoft's APAC region. She discusses how social media is challenging traditional organizational structures by enabling more open information sharing. She emphasizes that companies need a clear social media strategy that leverages the technology to improve communication, engagement, and innovation while mitigating risks. She advises starting with high-value uses of social media and demonstrating success to gain support for broader implementation and change management.
This document discusses crowdsourcing as a tool for strategic planning. It notes that traditional strategic plans developed behind closed doors often sit collecting dust and fail to convey changes needed in the organization. Crowdsourcing, which involves outsourcing tasks to a large group, provides an opportunity to open up strategic development to all stakeholders. Examples are given of companies that used crowdsourcing for strategic planning, which improved quality, built enthusiasm and alignment, and led to increased creativity, accountability and commitment. The benefits of taking this approach are discussed.

Why does business strategy fail (slideshare)Ty Wiggins
The document discusses why business strategies often fail. It provides several reasons for failure:
1) Strategies on average only deliver 63% of their potential financial performance due to misguided strategies and failure to implement strategies properly.
2) Managers are reluctant to make strategic choices and underestimate internal threats to strategy.
3) Strategies fail more due to insufficient implementation than inadequate formulation, and leaders do not invest enough in managing implementation.
4) Few companies properly track performance metrics or evaluate past strategies against actual results.
This document summarizes a presentation on the challenges of corporate communications in the digital age. It notes that while communication is increasingly important for organizational success, communication budgets have not increased at the same rate. It also finds that CEOs value their own communication over professional communication functions. Additionally, most corporate communication focuses internally and on marketing, rather than external stakeholders like NGOs. Finally, it argues that corporate communication needs to move beyond outbound messaging to developing communication skills across the organization and having a holistic view of inbound and outbound communication to create long-term value.
The Hill & Knowlton/PRWeek annual Corporate Survey was released on October 1. For this year’s report, more than 290 US corporate communications professionals completed an online survey examining the latest trends and shifts in the corporate communications function.
The document discusses reasons why organizational redesigns fail and keys to success. Common failures include not establishing clear goals for the redesign, structuring the organization around specific personnel rather than business needs, causing too much disruption, making side agreements outside the process, skipping assessing the current state, breaking confidentiality, and neglecting change management planning. To succeed, organizations should understand drivers for change, separate design from staffing decisions, minimize disruption, follow an agreed-upon process, conduct a current state assessment, maintain confidentiality during planning, and implement formal communications.

Introduction to strategic planning in public relationMajharul Shemon
Public relations involves strategic communication to build relationships between organizations and stakeholders. It is a continuous process dating back to the early 20th century. The RACE model outlines the key elements of any PR activity as research, action, communication, and evaluation. Strategic PR planning combines these elements with research, planning, and careful implementation of strategies to achieve goals like managing reputation. It involves four phases: formative research on the situation, organization, and publics; developing strategy, message, and response; selecting tactical communications; and evaluating the strategic plan. PR contributes at societal, management, and program levels by understanding social responsibilities, advising managers, and implementing communication plans.

Project Management Office
External Affairs Strategy
Eric Tse
Abstract
This paper discusses the external affairs of Project Management Offices instead of
focusing on the internals. The article was initiated by the “AtekPC Project
Management Office” [1], Most of the obstacles to establishing a PMO are beyond the
CIO and PMO Manager’s control. There are external factors within the enterprise
that will hinder progress of a PMO implementation.
We are going to take a PMO as a black box, and focus on how the PMO/Program
Manager can manage external relations from diplomatic, marketing, public relations,
international relations, corporate culture and political perspectives. This involves
cooperation between the PMO and other entities in or outside the enterprise, to
facilitate a successfully organizational integration.
Introduction
By reading the case studies in the “AtekPC Project Management Office” [1], we see a
lot of headaches for the CIO when implementation a PMO in the enterprise.
Regardless of the technical challenges during the implementation, the core of the
problems seems to be that the PMO is lacking organization support, from the top to
the bottom. There is not enough executive stakeholder support; there is no visibility
of the program; there is a conflict of interests within departments; people are reluctant
to change the ways they have been doing things. This paper is going to provide some
high level suggestions to i.

Forward thinking organizations understand that social business is so much more than a marketing campaign, however many struggle with finding the starting line for ways to bring social business into their organization. This presentation take executives through a structured approach for developing social business initiative from concept to pilot, including ROI measures. Mini-case studies help bring concepts to life.
Getting Beyond Hype: Bridging the Gap Between Social Media Strategy and Execu...10 Louder
Big Data. Influencers. Social Engagement. Content Strategy. With so many buzzwords flying around, it’s easy to get distracted by the latest shiny object. What digital communication industry needs to succeed isn’t more jargon. It needs more operational rigor. Getting Things Done is the new digital mantra.
In this session, industry veteran Brad McCormick breaks through the smoke and mirrors that accompany nearly every digital and social strategy presentation and presents four key principles of smart digital and social media execution. McCormick shows communicators how to bridge the gap between simply creating big ideas and executing them – the place where many organizations fall short. Using real-world examples, he provides solutions to simplify digital and communications plans, shows you how to adopt digital trends without getting distracted by noise, and demonstrates how to find solutions to fit in any budget.

This nifty presentation used football metaphors & hungarian goulash to explain what's what.
Social Media Tools for Your Resturant Pantry, May 201210 Louder
The document discusses various social media tools that can be included in a marketer's "social media pantry". It begins with metaphors comparing agencies to restaurants and clients to customers. It then provides an agenda covering 4 tips to avoid barely using new tools, tools for planning menus and finding critics, tools for managing orders and business, and concludes with 3 quick desserts or additional tips. The document recommends a variety of listening, identification, notification, monitoring, engagement, and business management tools for social media strategies.
Facebook Team Design, PR vs Marketing vs Advertising10 Louder
The document discusses best practices for optimizing a Facebook team. It recommends a "Dream Team" approach with four main roles: Community Manager, Metrics & Analytics, Creative & Technology, and Strategy & Account. Each role is assigned a code name and responsibilities. The team works best when marketing, advertising, and PR integrate efforts and work towards common goals. An optimal workflow roadmap should be created to coordinate the Facebook efforts.
"Uncertainty can be a Guiding Light"
To truly leverage the power of social networks, Pharma need to understand the principle of open innovation and learn to live with (and take) communication risk.
The FDA will never give crystal clear guidelines on social media. Their existing statements is all the real direction any compnay needs
The document describes the "Facebook Dream Team", a group of 4 roles (Faceman, Merdock, BA Baracus, Hannibal) that work together to manage a company's Facebook presence. It provides details on each role: Faceman is the community manager, Merdock focuses on metrics and analytics, BA Baracus drives creative content and engagement, and Hannibal connects Facebook activities to business goals and strategy. The document also includes examples of key performance indicators and sentiments around a bank's Facebook content that the team would analyze.
After much speculation, Facebook confirmed its plans to remove the disable comments option on most Facebook fan pages. This policy will be immediately applicable to all existing Facebook pages and will be applied retroactively applied to all existing pages by August 15th. Pending a review, only Facebook pages that are focused on a specific prescription medication may continue with the comments option disabled.
Ostensibly this means that companies that have been using Facebook as a one-way broadcast tool are going to be presented with a clear choice: Either find a way to embrace and benefit from two-way dialogue with your Facebook fans, or remove Facebook from your marketing mix entirely. This will force regulated health companies to examine not only the risk and benefits of Facebook, but of two-way social communication overall. There is no correct choice here.
While a Facebook page is not right for every pharmaceutical campaign, we do believe that for most, the benefits far outweigh the risks and could help usher in a new era of pharmaceutical marketing.

• In Q4 2014, FedEx Office issued an RFP to various agencies to help with
its internal social media strategy.
• Moroch was awarded the business, and recommended a 4-step
approach where gaps in social media capabilities were first identified
and recommendations given before strategy was devised.
• In addition, Moroch recommended identification of the basic building
blocks of social strategy: customer profiles, completive audit, and the
establishment of a brand voice for social content. All are contained in

Project overview
Moroch conducted more than 25 hours of interviews with employees of FedEx Office, FedEx Services, and FedEx proper in Q2 & Q3 2015. We reviewed more than
80 internal docs and attended several internal meetings regarding social media.
Social media capabilities rating
Internal Social Media capabilities, strategies and output at FedEx Office is currently midway between the “Dabbling in Silos” stage & the “Operational” stage of social
media maturity. This rating is common to other multiunit-retail US business of similar size.
Primary constraint: headcount
The primary constraint preventing FedEx Office from advancing its social media capabilities is headcount. FedEx Office currently does not have enough resources to
truly evolve social operations and capabilities and seize upon the numerous social-based opportunities that exist at FedEx Office. If FedEx Office wants to continue
to retain independent social channels, it needs to find the resources and systems necessary to properly maintain and evolve those channels.
To that, we recommend that FedEx Office anoint an empowered senior social leader with both formalized horizontal influence and necessary resources to evolve
toward a more operational, cross-discipline model for social activities.
Separate budgets & lack of clear process
In addition, separate budgets and the lack of an integrated process made the current silo state of social a foregone conclusion. Corporate structure and church/state
relationship of OPCOs often makes collaboration and synergy among departments even more difficult, signaling that FedEx Office will have to work double hard to
make social media truly operational. We recommend designing and testing new integrated processes, which are necessary to overcome these challenges.
Governance & Social Media Congress
The established Social Media Congress is a step in the right direction, but the sessions need to be given decision-making authority. We also recommend testing new
meeting structures to allow better cross-discipline problem solving.
Moving Forward
This report is not a silver bullet. It contains observations and recommendations that should be discussed. More than anything, this report should treated as an
indicator that social media maturity is a journey that ultimately requires some form of organizational change.
Executive sponsorship for social media is strong at FedEx Office. Such support is the single most important step in any organizational change, and it should be
leveraged as the recommendations in this report are considered.

Category Ranking Notes
People 2.5
• FedEx Office has two full-time positions for social media, but they are tied to a single department and posses limited formal
authority over the social activities of other departments.
• Lack of formal training plans for new or existing employees.
• Small creative services team exists but capabilities are mostly oriented toward POS retail materials and not toward social
content.
Process 2.1
• The biweekly Social Media Congress has established regularity of social stakeholder communication, but day-to-day cross-
discipline integration is inconsistent and elusive. Some cooperation at the senior level exists for Facebook.
• Lack of a formal process for the planning, execution, and measurement of social programs, though there have been isolated
instances of successfully executed integrated campaigns. Content that is produced seen as “forced” and overtly promotional.
• Legal & brand reviews operated within existing processes, but little evidence of social-centric criteria for approval.
• Established process for the review of customer service issue by a separate Memphis-based department, but unclear if insights
are shared or if “comment spam” is part of customer service audit.
Tools &
Technology
2.1
• Competing tool sets among departments with possible redundant functionality. Lack of agreement on KPIs. Technology
budgets are not shared. Introduction of Salesforce toolset could be remedy.
• Significant technology obstacles with in-store POS & retail attribution. Online transactions do have some social attribution,
but only for paid posts on Facebook.
• Unclear if or how social data influences planning or decision making.
Governance 2.6
• Shared ownership of social, though this applies to Facebook only. With Facebook, there are some clearly defined roles for
types of Facebook content, but roles are mostly around use of paid amplification and may be preventing collaboration and
knowledge sharing.
• Unclear or ambiguous ownership of other channels (i.e. Pinterest, LinkedIn). Lack of alignment on formal objectives and
targets. Lack of formal training process.

Category Ranking Notes
People 1-3
*Project Based
• It’s clear when social is included in the project and when they are not: Moral, if there is a social element, even a small
one, there needs to be an official point person from social.
• It’s very clear when a project is led by someone who does not understand social; the social team is brought in late.
The tell: Initial planning decks have little to no social mention.
Process 2
• Everyone agrees that everyone should be aligned and that social should be included, but execution does not always follow
what they are preaching. The tell: Recaps.
• Documents are often lacking assignment, goal, strategy, objective etc., specifically updates and recaps, without these things,
how do you know if the program was successful.
Tools
&Technology
1/2
• Basics exists but are not utilized to the full extent.
• Many tools need updating. (Interesting: Research documents have an abundance of data, but recap documents are
severely lacking in data.)
• Social analytics have a lot of room for improvement- Even simple tracking tags would really take them to the next level.
Governance 1/2
• Good alignment when the sponsorship is very large and high level; everyone is “forced” to be on board.
• Smaller projects that do not require EVERY channel drop off significantly (If the same alignment and integration standards
were held for smaller projects, social would be much more fluid.)
• Missing defined metrics, both at the beginning of programs and at the end.

• The primary constraint that FedEx Office faces is related to headcount – FedEx Office simply does not
have enough social media resources given its size to truly evolve social operations and capabilities and
take advantage of the numerous opportunities that abound.
- Current resources that are dedicated to social media resources have to help make large gains
in operationalizing social media, but they are spread thin. They do not have capacity to expand
focus on others’ potential avenues for social media (i.e. recruitment, commercial business,
improving metric and reporting).
- At the same time, the are social resources in other departments that spend a portion of their
time on social media, but they too are spread thin.
- There is a small internal creative services team, but the members neither have the capacity nor
perhaps the experience to create ongoing, engaging social content.
• Currently, social activities at FedEx Office are administered by different personnel in different
departments working under different budgets with different objectives and KPIs. While there
is certainly cooperation and some alignment between teams—especially at the senior level—
the fact remains that separate teams with separate agendas are responsible for advancing
FedEx Office social output.
• As such, efforts to increase collaboration and coordination between teams need to be
dramatically increased and formalized.
21. Confidential and/or Proprietary - Do Not Redistribute21
• Little or no training materials exist for social media at the

• Hire/appoint senior social leader with formalized & legitimate horizontal influence over the social
activities of each division/OPCO, including marketing, corporate, recruiting, and commercial. This
role alone will greatly improve the creation and implementation of a cohesive and integrated social
strategy for FedEx Office.
• Replace any currently open social position.
• Devise and commit to a long-term hire plan that would allow FedEx Office to establish and
maintain a centralized social Center of Excellence (COE). In additional to the hire/appointment of a
senior social leader, we suggest hiring 2 mid-level social strategists, a full-time social content
specialist and full-time social analyst for the COE.
• Identify and hire a social media agency in the interim while COE budget is obtained and fully
staffed.
One Year
• Establish a requirement for social proficiency for all future corporate hires.
• Create a “How Does Social Media Work for FedEx Office” series for training.
Long Term
• Make all COE hires. Ramp down agency retainers as appropriate.
• Establish separate social 101 training program for all corporate & in-center hires with focus on

• Developing social media strategies, campaigns, and content requires thoughtful consideration on the
activities and sequence of steps required, many of which involve multiple disciplines and/or divisions.
• Every organization must define cross-organization processes for managing more social media
activities.
• While the hiring and efforts of the senior advisor to social media has made great efforts at spurring
cross-discipline collaboration, there remains a lack of a formalized, cross-disciplined process for
social media at FedEx Office. This causes many social efforts at FedEx Office to be “added on” after
the core of a campaign/program/initiative is already concerted and approved, which renders many
social activations to be tactical in nature, thus reducing its chances of having any meaningful impact
on business results.
• Still, there was an integrated, cross-disciplined effort, Peak 2014-2015, that resulted in national PR
coverage, though the specific sales impact of this effort has not been reported. Some believe better
in-store integration could have made the program better, which would have required great cross-
discipline collaboration.
ProcessEvery organization must define cross-discipline processes for social media.
28. Confidential and/or Proprietary - Do Not Redistribute28
• There are often several separate or conflicting social agendas among departments, which are not
explicitly linked. This causes a lack of understanding and/or priority for the social goals of other
departments.
• The resources of each division are mostly focused on the priorities of their own division. This is the logical
default state of most corporate activities, given differing timelines, budgets, and overall scope between
department. As such, social initiatives are often created separately from each other, which exacerbates
resource constraints and make best practice application difficult.
– The existing processes for social media activities developed by the Marketing team do not match the existing processes for
social media development by the Public Relations team.
– Members of both team expressed desire for more collaboration on components like content strategy and calendar.
– The next two slides map out our understanding of the current process being used by FedEx Office PR and Marketing teams.
The difference should be self evident.

Social Media Planning ProcessesAspirational view – common, cross-discipline process
Key Findings - Process
• A core set of processes must be adopted and coordinated
across the FedEx Office to effectively integrate social
media and meet business objectives.
• These process must include a cross-discipline collection
of team members at every step and promote proactive
knowledge-sharing and transparency.
• Recommend a RACI matrix to be applied to identify role
and responsibilities of personnel at each step.
• These are enforced by policies and supported by
standardized tools and templates.
• Current processes and procedures for social strategy
planning and execution are largely informal and not well
documented.
• They are also not supported by standardized planning
documents or informed by social media best practices.
• Also, key enabling technologies have yet to be

tools stack
The social content tool landscape is fragmented
today, but has begun to consolidate.
Currently, no single vendor has an end-to-end
social content solution. But a few are close.
Eventually, social tools will be absorbed into
"content stack" offerings that provide for content
management across multiple channels. Social-
only tools will eventually become redundant.
Until then, FedEx Office must align their "content

fast-paced business.

Social Media Congress
• Social Media Congress, a biweekly cross-discipline meeting, was in Q3-Q4 2014 to facilitate social media
collaboration and integration with various FedEx Office business units.
• The meetings have occurred with near regularity, though its effectiveness as a mechanism for true-cross
collaboration remains to be seen. Many comments reveal that the meetings, while helpful, are essentially
a series of department updates with little discussion or group problem solving.
• Recommendations include:
- Pilot test weekly Social Media Congress meetings, but change the focus of alternative meeting
from status updates to group problem solving around a single, specific social need/channel
concerning one of the departments. Consider structuring alternative Friday problem solve
meetings to be attended by smaller, cross-disciplined team (i.e. one person by division).
- Ensure that all initiatives have S.M.A.R.T. goals attached to them that make social performance easy
to measure once implemented.
- It’s also important to establish and share an integrated, 12-month calendar for all division efforts
with all team members. Consider a common, internal theme that ties all social efforts together.

Brand Review
• Several FedEx Office team members felt that FedEx Brand reviews were restrictive and thus prevented the
publishing of engaging content with advanced marketing objectives.
- Many felt that the brand guidelines do not support the need to produce engaging, bite-size content.
o One person mentioned how bullet points taken verbatim from a public report were rejected as
social content. Instead, team members had to publish a link to the full report.
- Many believed that the FedEx brand guidelines needed to be updated to reflect the nimble, real-time
nature of content that social media requires. Many also felt that brand guidelines needed to allow for
a more localized, retail-centric approach to social publishing that is unique to the FedEx Office brand.
• On the flip side, FedEx team members did not feel that brand reviews were restrictive, though they
acknowledged that they did not have the same kind of retail requirements for their content as FedEx Office.
• Recommendations:
- Examine brand guidelines and ensure they allow for flexible, real-time engagement as well as
localized, retail centric approaches to content.
- Set up an in-person working session between individual FedEx Office division leads and FedEx brand
review committee members to review and understand past content rejections and brainstorm new
ways to produce content that is both engaging and meets brand standards.
- Establish and share an integrated, 12-month social calendar with both brand and legal teams in
Memphis. This will allow for more time for discussion and refinement of large social campaigns that
need to meet brand and legal standards.

45. Confidential and/or Proprietary - Do Not Redistribute
• The primary dynamic between the Dallas-based FedEx Office/FedEx Services teams &
their Memphis counterpart is a chronic “Tug of War” over the autonomy & actual
existence of FedEx Office-specific social channels - namely Facebook.
- This is unfortunate, as there is an obvious Win/Win with greater synergy and
collaboration between the two teams
• However, we believe FedEx Office-specific social channels should continue as is for the
foreseeable future. While there is logical rationale for operating as OPCO as a single
social channel, there is also equal, if not more, rationale for leaving FedEx Office’s social
channels as is.
• Still, to properly maintain and evolve its social channels, FedEx Office will need to to
expand headcount and social media resources immediately. If resources cannot be
increased, then there is a good rational for merging all social activities with FedEx proper.
• What follows is our rationale and immediate, one year, and long-term recommendations
as well as examples of other Fortune 500 companies that maintain a similarly segmented
approach for their social channels.
45
Separate or together?
46. Confidential and/or Proprietary - Do Not Redistribute
Rationale for maintaining separate
social channels for FedEx Office
• There are three primary reasons why FedEx Office-specific social channels should continue as-is for the
foreseeable future:
- First, FedEx Office’s retail identity and print product base presents different requirements and
challenges that are unique to FedEx Corporation. Maintaining autonomy in the social channels will
allow FedEx Office to better respond to ever-changing print retail landscape (i.e. competitive
consolidation; changing customer print behaviors; continual rise of digital tech; etc.).
- Secondly, part of FedEx Office’s corporate strategy is to experiment and create new Ship + Print
hybrid offerings. It makes sense to experiment with the promotion of those offerings on autonomous
social channels. Moreover, Ship + Print customer insights will be easier to mine via autonomous
social channels.
- Lastly, Facebook algorithm changes have greatly reduced the reach of organic posts, thus spurring
more reliance on paid posts. Hence, community size and comparative like counts are fast becoming
internal vanity metrics. It’s less about the number of your Facebook fans and more about the quality
of content and the ability to amplify it via paid promotion.
• There is no standard or template for how master brands vs. sub brands should be treated in social. But there
are many respectable B2B & B2C global organizations (GE, Dell, Nike, Marriott) that maintain several distinct
Facebook pages for various sub brands and business units.
• Still, we believe enhanced collaboration could benefit both teams and could help establish a strong win/win
dynamic. It could also help clarify the proper long-term strategy regarding master brand vs. sub brand
representation.
46
47. Confidential and/or Proprietary - Do Not Redistribute
Immediate
• Continue to operate separate social channels for FedEx Office and FedEx, but look for ways for increase
collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Set up comparative A/B test that clarifies the difference in organic reach for identical content posted
between the two Facebook communities.
• Establish monthly social insights, knowledge-sharing calls where engagement & strategic challenges &
insights are shared and discussed and calendars are synched up.
• Develop a workflow where certain key content from each team is shared and replicated on each channel.
One Year
• Establish biannual, face-to-work sessions for the FedEx Office & FedEx social teams, one held in Dallas &
one held in Memphis.
• Consider an exchange-embedded program between the two teams, including have FedEx team members
work at a FedEx Office store & FedEx Office team members working at FedEx processing plant.
Long Term
• Establish a brand-survey benchmark to measure customer perception on the product offering of FedEx vs.
FedEx Office and strategize accordingly.

the company blog and needs a resource where a suite of integrations are
available quickly and at a good price. Coffee is keeping her motivated
throughout the day.
Printing & Shipping: When talking about printing, you won’t find her

Personal: The Small Batch persona is health-conscious and family-oriented,
and cooking healthy, nutritious meals for her family is a passion. When not
sharing recipes, however, she’s a deal shopper with coupons, hoping to find
deals on beauty items such as bath salts and organic oils.
Professional: She’s preparing organic treats for a local farmers market each
week, because #shopsmall is not just a popular hashtag, it’s a way of life for
her in terms of what she sells and how she consumes products.
Printing & Shipping: Services such as laminating and binding aren’t high on
her list, as she’s usually printing photos or looking for protected shipping to
send her handmade goodies of macaroons or tea.

Professional: The Sports Enthusiast is family-oriented but spends a majority
of his time working. Whether he is broadcasting for a local sports network or
traveling for business, he finds that his motivation is propelled by his passion
for sports.
Personal: He enjoys talking to his friends about sporting events, which
include the U.S. Open and Daytona 500. He also enjoys watching NBA
basketball. His-go to resource for sporting updates is ESPN. Occasionally, he
likes to relax at home while watching the newest release on Netflix.
Printing and Shipping: He has shown interest in shipping costs, however, he
also uses printing for work-related tasks. The nature of his work requires a
fast turnaround, which is one of the key reasons he will choose FedEx Office
and not an online printing resource.

Personal: This persona has a high percentage of individuals between 35 - 44,
starting their own ventures after getting some experience at other companies.
Free time is spent reading articles and books on their Kindles on economics and
marketing to stay on the cutting edge. Interestingly, there is a higher percentage
of desktop users than in other groups- showing a group constantly at their desk.
Professional: These are small business owners, busy trying to stay ahead within
their market by staying innovative. From marketers to creatives, this group is
living the startup life. In association with business, this group discussed mobile
marketing, small business, email and SEO analytics at a high rate. Finance -
particularly tax, equity and investments - are a hot topic currently. One
important office tool is their scanner, to upload financial and other business
documents.
Printing & Shipping: There is a higher volume of conversation around printing,
as compared to shipping, therefore exposing an opportunity to showcase FedEx
Office’s cost-effective printing offerings to acquire this group. The Small
Business Owner is currently turning to Vistaprint.

The know-how
to move you forward
Now, “moving forward” is no simple task. In fact, it’s more than a task. It’s a mission. And people come to us
every day trusting us to help them get their particular mission accomplished. We do that with the most
extensive office services, organizing, formatting, outputting, collating, stapling, distributing and shipping
capabilities anywhere. FedEx Office leverages 1,800 locations and the ability of our people to come up with
real-world solutions and make all of the above simple, manageable, doable.
67
Distinguishing characteristic
68. Confidential and/or Proprietary - Do Not Redistribute
Smart.
Resourceful.
Personable.
Having a clearly defined brand persona strengthens customer affinity. By giving a brand a persona and
emboldening it with personality traits, a brand can come alive and emotionally connect with people. It’s
important to note that these characteristics are those of the brand, not our target. These traits should
represent the brand at every FedEx Office customer touch point. The FedEx Office persona should guide the
tone and tenor of all communications.
68
Persona
69. Smart
We pride ourselves as being a company built on smart
thinking. Our counter consultants have the training
and tools to meet client’s needs on their terms. But
our people also have street smarts. And it’s this
combination of training and intuition that enables
each and every FedEx Office team member to deliver
efficient, effective solutions that keep our customers
coming back for more.
69
70. Resourceful
Helping people go forward takes resourcefulness. We
have a culture of problem-solvers—meeting customer
challenges with no small amount of imagination and
creativity. What’s more, we have a an incredible array of
resources from which to draw—a network offering
1,800 locations and unmatched depth of expertise, the
reach of FedEx Global Shipping in-store, advanced
printing capabilities and office services.
70
71. Personable
FedEx Office is welcoming and reassuring, because
that’s what our consultants are behind our counter.
FedEx Office team members show that being
professional doesn’t mean being officious. Customers
feel comfortable coming up to our counter—even when
they don’t exactly know what they’re asking for.
71
72. Manifesto
Every day, we meet people on a mission. ... Each
mission is different, of course. But each, in its own way,
is critical. …
We absolutely, positively get it. Which is why nobody
delivers for these people like we do. …
We call it the “know-how to move you forward.”
Our customers call it, “mission accomplished.”

• FedEx Office’s commitment toward dramatically increasing in-center headcount presents both a social opportunity
and challenge.
• Increasing recruitment-related activities on social media is an obvious strategy to promote job opening and recruit
the best candidates for positions.
• In Q2 2015, recruitment administered a pilot with the service #TweetMyJobs. While the hire results have not been
verified, the service did produce a surprising large number of resumes.
• But while recruitment team currently has capacity to increase social media activity, they do not know how to
overcome certain brand and legal constraints. For instance, hiring managers are prohibited from posting public job
postings on their own personal social networks. Moreover, selective repurposing of corporate communication
content as a recruitment mechanism has been rejected in past brand reviews. As such, FedEx Office’s recruitment
team has been reluctant to dedicate more resources toward social media recruitment activities.
• At the same time, recruitment absorbs the entire cost for Linkedin, which discourages cross-department
collaboration on the channel. Such increased collaboration could help determine the viability of Linkedin as a
recruitment channel vs. Linkedin as a corporate communication channel.
• We believe there are legitimate B2B lead generation resources on Linkedin that should be explored.

Recruitment
Immediate
• Establish a resume-submitted-to-hire correlation for #TweetMyJob. If successful, formalize this channel as an always-on tactic
• Content Approval
- Hold a face-to-face meting with both brand & legal review teams to discuss:
o Why certain recruitment centric social content did not meet approval in the past
o Strategies for how recruitment can create recruitment-centric content that will pass legal and brand
review
- Begin to use existing recruitment resources to increase social content output. Aim for one additional piece of
content per week
• LinkedIn: Share analytics login with new Social Senior Lead
One Year
• Pilot Program = allow employees to promote job openings to friends & family
• Pilot Program = allow Commercial Print to use LinkedIn as a B2B lead generation platform. LinkedIn cost would thus partially be
absorbed by Commercial print
Long Term
• Investigate viability of establishing of FedEx Office career-centric Facebook page similar to
https://www.facebook.com/CareersAtDell and https://www.facebook.com/gecareers

Actions vs.
Results
• Activity-based metrics: fans, likes,
shares, RTs, etc.
• Results-based metrics: conversions,
revenue, etc.
• Both are valuable
• Every social media metric must tie to a
business metric
• Every business metrics maps to a
business goal
• This relationship is the key to achieving

deciding what not to measure. It's important to get to a strategic approach
for measurement by prioritizing metrics, aligning them with overall business
goals, and identifying data challenges, and using the proper tools to capture
the data. Below is a strategic framework for social measurement.
