MAYBE YOU
     SHOULD GET
     A REAL JOB.



                   “Isn’t your job
                   just being on
                   Facebook all
                   day?”

No. That’s why this presentation is also called:




                   Why your average social media
                         user is not necessarily a
                          social marketing expert
First things first…
                What is an enterprise?

A large corporation
with a business
strategy based on
the results of
different parts of
the business
working together.
“Marketing is now
democracy on steroids.”
     Marc Pritchard, Global Marketing and Brand Building Officer for P&G
There are hundreds of social networking sites,
which can create thousands of connections for a user.




6.
For an enterprise, social media will create
             millions of connections.




7.
Manageable




Horrifying
So…
why should brands
be on social?
 To increase brand awareness
 To be a part of conversations that are
  happening anyway
 To direct brand perception
 To maximize brand loyalty
 To demonstrate brand values
                                                      I’M GLAD
 To add value to the lives of fans                      YOU
                                                       ASKED!

             …and hopefully that will lead to users
             purchasing, or encouraging others to
             purchase more products.
“   The mistake most
    companies are
    making is that
    they are… using
    [social media] as
    an opportunity to
    sell stuff. It’s
    really not
    designed for
    that.”

    Howard Schultz, Founder,
    Chairman, President and CEO of
    Starbucks
What’s the
difference
between the
way I use
social
media…




11.
…and the way
      it’s used at an
      enterprise
      level?

12.
1. Joining a social
      network is a big deal.

13.
While the average user can decide to join a social
          networking site sporadically…
A Brand Cannot:

           Join a social
            channel just to
 I HATE
            leave it
   NOT
BEING A
JOINER.    Join a social
            channel, then
            use it incorrectly

           Join a social
            channel, then not
            use it at all
16.
17.
18.
An enterprise needs to
determine the following
    before joining:
 How are we going to use that?
 What’s going to be that channel’s purpose?
 How will it work with the other channels we
  currently have?
 How can the channel help us reach our
  business objectives?
 Do we have the resources for another
  significant commitment?
Why is it a significant
      commitment?
      Isn’t following a planned publishing schedule enough?




      Because when the
      [blank] hits the fan
      on social, it really
      hits the fan.

24.
Social media at the enterprise level
      requires a solid foundation & structure.



25.
2. Two-way dialogue is
       suddenly unnatural.

26.
I’M SORRY TO
         HAVE TO
        TELL YOU
          THIS…


                     The
                     Cold,
                     Hard
                     Truth
27.
Individuals use social media to
       A) satisfy their innate curiosities about others
       B) satisfy the desire to talk about themselves
       C) be a part of something bigger
All fuel conversation and frankly, put the social in social media.
HAD SUCH A
                                     OMG DID HE

                        WINK
                        WINK




              This comes VERY naturally to us.
MAKE IT SAY: “GREETINGS
                   CONSUMER, WE ARE
                PLEASED TO PRESENT YOU
                  WITH A NEW PRODUCT
                THAT YOU WON’T BE ABLE
                TO RESIST! PRESS LIKE AND
                  SHARE AND RETWEET
                    PRETTY PLEASE!”




Then how come, in an enterprise setting,
     we suddenly turn into robots?
The problem is,
brands are
mostly only
equipped to talk
about
themselves.
The essence
of social
media is not
natural for
brands.
Social media at the enterprise level requires
        voice development & engagement plan.


38.
3. In-the-moment is never
         really in the moment.


39.
This is what happens when an individual wants to make
a social media post:

 1) See cute puppy on the
    street wearing shoes.

 2) Snap picture of cute puppy
    wearing shoes.

 3) Share on a social
    networking site with witty
    comment.                      “OMG! Saw the cutest
                                  puppy wearing shoes!
                                 #LoveMeSomePuppies.”
This is what happens when a brand wants to make a
social media post:
 1) Enterprise in general has decided on
     product launches and activations.
 2) Marketing develops business objectives and
     strategies on the above.
 3) Assets from creative or design teams are
     developed for the above.
 4) Community managers or copywriters come
     up with content way in advance that
     incorporate business objectives.
 5) Already created assets are either integrated,
     or new assets need to be scoped and
     created.
 6) Marketing reviews copy.
 7) Copy comes back from marketing –                “We‟re all having a cup of
     revisions are required.
 8) Copy finally goes out again; goes through       our delicious new coffee!
     legal.                                          Press „Like‟ if you tried
 9) Copy comes back from legal – revisions are
     required.                                        one of our brand new
 10) After several rounds of validations,                coffees today!”
     community managers schedule the posts for
     publishing.
But…
               It doesn’t matter
               what the internal
               process is.
      OH NO.

               Users will still
               gravitate towards
               the same kind of
               content:
                Engaging
                Visual
                In-the-moment

42.
Why is it hard for brands to do in-the-moment?

  Because
  this…


           …is a full time job, and it gets complicated
                  squeezing in on-the-fly social.
44.
45.
Social media at the enterprise level requires strategic content
& response planning that provides a relevant user experience.




  48.
4. It’s not stalking.
      It’s consumer insight.

49.
There’s something about social media that makes it
           really fun for us to peer into others’ lives.




50.
Ok, fine.

Sometimes
it’s “stalking.”
While learning about others on social is ultimately
optional for users, for brands – it is absolutely essential.
