Editor's Notes
- All familiar with these? Who has a profile on Facebook? Who uses Facebook for business? Who uses on LinkedIn? Who uses Twitter? Company or individual use
- Quick overview of this presentation.
- Hundreds of applications, in lots of categories 24 categories in Brian Solis’s’ Conversation prism
- Remit Consulting pares number of categories down from 24 to 12
- Let’s take a quick tour First off – discussion forums
- Wrote about this in guest blog post on CE blog Suspect Paul Morrell’s first ever blog post
- Network of contacts
- Now combining wider range of tools and techniques. Still have to be a good marketeer or PR operator. But need good knowledge of how to integrate SM tools into the communications mix
- Now combining wider range of tools and techniques with event management – and adding capabilities such as broadcasting previously too expensive for most budgets. My Slidecast got 481 views in the first week after it was published on SlideShare.
- Now combining wider range of tools and techniques with event management
- US survey (BtoB/ANA) : Facebook is the most-used social media site overall (74%), and enjoys high use among b-to-b marketers (60%).
- US survey (BtoB/ANA) : 81% of b-to-b marketers cited LinkedIn, compared with just 25% of the b-to-c marketers.
- Case study of how established international AEC firm integrated Web 2.0 into its corporate communications. Corporate communications and HR teams recruited 20 bloggers worldwide. “ Blogger Manifesto” HOK Blog Policy – etiquette: confidentiality, professionalism, mutual respect and good taste. Two- day, in-person training session. Ongoing Training/Support Help Blog Weekly Blog Update posts edited for grammar, punctuation and spelling – never for content semi-annual WebEx meetings
- Worked with HR department Identified a Facebook Queen (our youngest, 20-something team member) Managing the HOK Network channels is a team effort for the Corporate Communications group
- The Facebook, VisualCV and LinkedIn pages, plus the small Opportunities search link on the home page, show that one purpose of the site is for recruitment, and the blog will at least give potential recruits – particularly those Generation Y people for whom social networks are important – a lot of additional information about what it’s like to work at HOK.
- Corporate communications identified a Lord of the Flickr
- With video an increasingly popular download online, a HOK YouTube channel was an obvious step
- HOK powerpoint slide presentations are also available on a Slideshare page, ranging from project overviews to presentations about sustainability
- In addition to a HOKNetwork corporate Twitter account, HOK also has a “chief executive Tweeter” @somechum Good example of: applying consistent branding across online channels Aligning corporate strategic objectives with online tactics Involving, educating and monitoring staff engagement with different channels How channels reinforce each other. Blogs reuse Flickr, YouTube, SlideShare, etc. Tweets about blog posts, about events, links to photos, etc
