Zipipop Freud combines
social media &
communications to create
influence and solve business
challenges in today’s world.
What did Peter
Vesterbacka teach me?
“Attitude is everything!”
“A press release is not marketing.”
Peter Vesterbacka
Attitude is everything!
YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BE SHY
GOALS
• What are you trying to achieve?
• What resources do you have?
• How will you know you are being
successful?

It’s all about
changing perceptions
in people’s minds
CHANGING PERCEPTIONS

Without content there
is no social media
WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
Sharing, discussing, and interacting around
content in social networks.
Richard von Kaufmann 2013


CONTENT MARKETING
relevant, useful, entertaining
SEO (findable)
Valuable Content
social media (sharable)
COTENT NEEDS BE TO FOUND EASILY
Provide ammunition for fans to promote you
“VALUABLE” CONTENT AT WORK
share to a wall
shared on company
wall (240 likes)
share to own wall
(450 friends)
3 likes
(with more than 1,500
friends)
Shared to their own wall
(300 friends)
2 likes and 1 share
(with a total of more than
1,000 friends)
15 likes
A total of nearly
27,000 people were
reached
The process of finding out what kind of content is
valuable to your community can take a long time.
GROWING YOUR COMMUNITY
CONTENT PLAN
Some things can be planned for (e.g. seasonal events), but otherwise it is fairly pointless to
try and create specific content too far ahead.
Entertaining
(useful & funny
content related to
your industry)
Daily Diary
(interesting things
the company has
been up to: new
product launches,
recruits, etc)
Strategic
(content that is
designed to get
people to take

goals and build
thought leadership)

ONE THING
Direct focus onto 1 (max 3) things you
can genuinely claim to provide at a
world class / national level.
EXPERIMENTING
• Innocent Drinks Communities Manager:
• Learning as we go, and willingness to
admit to cock ups.
• Experimenting with ideas and find what
the right mix of content is.

Plan – Do – Review – Repeat (what works)
How to define the
strategic content
ATTITUDE
Brands that do particularly well in social media have a consistent “attitude”.
• Filter for deciding on content
• Gatekeeper for ensuring consistent tone-of-voice across many channels
WHAT IS ATTITUDE?
The easiest way we can express our values is to
demonstrate:
• What are we for?
• What are we against?
ATTITUDE = VALUES IN ACTION
Rami Saarela 2013
Do the actual perceptions
= intended impression?
+Values Actions

Perception is everything
The image of the company lies only in the minds of the target groups.
Aligning values and attitude (values in
action) generates the desired perceptions
• +Values Actions

Agendas
Perceptions
Are your values
aligned?
Put the answers to the following
questions into practice:
?
Values
What are they and can you be sure all
the employees believe, or can be
made to believe, in them?
Must not just be nice words.
Best in the world
What parts of your business can you
justifiably claim are delivered at the
highest global/national standards.
Overall marketing should be focused
on these aspects.
Target groups
Whose important to your organization?
Who has the purchase decision making power?
Who influences the purchase decisions?
Focus / Agendas
Listen to your target groups and ask questions to find out:
What’s important to them?
What do they need to help them choose your brand?
Type of relationship
How should your employees talk with the target
groups?
This is related to tone-of-voice, but is more about
the nature of the relationship they should have;
e.g. friend, buddy, teacher, guru
The persona is based on the values, but
“tweaked” appropriately for different contexts.
Attitude
Remember: Attitude = Values in action
The easiest way we can express our values is to
demonstrate:
• What are we for?
• What are we against?
So our communication actions should reflect these
points of view.
Perception
What perception(s) do you wish to
enhance or change in the minds of
your target groups.

The power of stories
Story Telling
• Narrative is a fundamental way we
make sense of the world.
• More than ever organizations need
a compelling story to stand out
from the crowd.
• Social media channel for telling
your story
http://www.sxc.hu/photo/103262
Innocent’s clear and likable
story allowed them to grow
rapidly and be bought by Coke
TELLING YOUR STORY
Through the social media channels
communicate:
•Why you are remarkable
•What you stand for
•Who you are
•What are your goals
•What’s happening now
MICRO STORIES
• Each piece of content is a micro story
that builds into a larger narrative.
• It doesn’t have to be a story with a
beginning, middle, and end.
• A good image tells a story.
• Create stories where your product saves
the day and restores balance.
PUT THE CUSTOMER CENTRAL STAGE
• Stop talking about me, I, us, we…
— put you customer in the centre
of the story and encourage them
to create content
LOGIC vs EMOTION
“People are moved by stories and
drama and hints and clues and
discovery.
Logic is a battering ram, one that
might work if your case is
overwhelming. Wal-Mart won by logic
(cheap!), but yours probably won't.”
Seth Godin
http://sethgodin.typepad.com
BE A PURPLE COW
• Be remarkable and stand out
• The cornerstone of this is providing a remarkably good
product or services
• Find interesting, authentic stories behind your team,
brand, product or company

The social media team needs to be ready to react quickly to catch the social
