35. Advocates and influencers: Some Exercises

36. Scenario 1 Your company is launching a new product that is out of the norm for what they usually do (e.g. Gatorade is starting to sell shoes) and you need to generate credibility.

37. Scenario 2 Your company is launching a new product that is close to what they already do (e.g. Cadbury has come out with a new candy bar) and you need to generate excitement.

38. Scenario 3 The spokesperson for your company’s recent (and successful) ad campaign was just arrested for drug possession. Your company sells children’s educational videos.

39. Scenario 4 You’ve just opened up a new restaurant and you need to get the word and excitement out about it.

40. Scenario 5 People in your loyalty program are either inactive or, worse, are even starting to opt out. You need to refresh and rejuvenate your list.

41. Assignment 3: Developing a Social Media Program Objective: Develop a social media strategy Not to be implemented, all is theoretical Budget is not in issue (imagine you had all the money you needed) Incorporate all you’ve learned throughout the course It can be something you are actually involved with or you can treat it like a ‘case’ for someone / something else Should be for a limited engagement rather than an ongoing platform To be completed on power point or comparable style of document Each question should be answered on one to two slides/pages

42. Assignment 3: Developing a Social Media Program What is the brand, company, organization, etc. that you are creating this for? What is the problem you need to solve for and why does it matter? What is the overall objective in addressing this problem? Why? What are the issues/themes you need to keep track of and why? What is the approach you will take for listening? Monitoring? Moderating? Don’t have to do both, but need to know why you would use. (LISTEN) How will you use information you get from listening? (e.g. crisis management, insight development, influencer identification, etc.) Why? (UNDERSTAND) What are 3 tactics you would employ and how they would work specifically for your strategy? (Develop a Facebook app VS Develop a Facebook app that allows people to share fantasy football stats with their network and can pull directly from their fantasy football sites.) How do they work? Why would you use these? (ENGAGE) What do you ultimately want your ‘community’ to do? Why? (RALLY/HARNESS) What does your internal social media process or logistics look like? What are 3 things that could cause potential problems for you? How will you measure success?
