It’s a business that acquires not only customers, but cultivates
fans and advocates for their brand. It’s a business that
understands they don’t control the message, their customers
and clients do. It’s a business that actively engages with their
audience by listening and being transparent.
It’s not all about YOU! It’s about your customers and audience.
Your content should offer solutions to problems your audience
will find helpful.
Content marketing in a social business is authentic and real.
Instead of posting a slickly produced sales video, social
businesses connect directly with their audience through written
text (blog posts,) audio (podcasts,) and video (YouTube and
live streaming.) They offer high value content, not a sales pitch.
The leaders of the company are the face of communication.
Social businesses are comprised of real people and they
connect directly with their customers and clients. People want
to do business with people, not logos or avatars. The social
content tools available today make this direct connection
possible.
Social businesses are not afraid of their consumers setting the
agenda. People don’t expect perfection, but they do expect
authenticity.@MartyMcPadden

It’s not. Or, rather, it shouldn’t be. Content Marketing (at its
core) is a process that we infuse into all the activities we do as
marketers. Its goal is to deliver value to our customers by
delighting, engaging, informing or providing some level of
usefulness that is separate and distinct from our product and
service. It has direct correlation with the social business in that
it is, in most cases, what the conversation should be about. In
other words, if the business’ social conversation with the
consumer is about value delivered from the content it’s sharing
– as opposed to the products its producing - then the business
wins. Every time.

To become a social business, you need to manage the
transition as you would an enterprise resource planning
implementation with the right training and a rigorous change
management process, involving the entire enterprise. There
has to be a respected, well-liked executive sponsor who is
passionate about the project. This person should be a role
model and has to set a precedent amongst the rest of the C-
Suite. This will then cascade down to senior management,
management and line staff. The social business transition must
not be owned by the CMO or CEO but rather the entire
enterprise. Get everyone involved and inject excitement into
the project. The C-Suite must ensure that social business
processes are incorporated into every part of the business and
is the responsibility of the C-suite member who heads up
induction and on-boarding, production, product development,
marketing, sales, etc. It has to become part of the very DNA of
the organisation. Social business should be a discussion point
at board meetings and with external stakeholders such as
shareholders, clients and suppliers. Social Business must not be
treated as a passing fad but rather a strategy without which the
business will fail.

Let's define a social business and how it is evolving. It’s not just
“being social” with your customers (having social profiles
where you know they hang out); it’s about being more
connected in your business processes as well. Stop thinking in
terms of silos of information and people, and start thinking
about ways to connect everyone.
For instance, a common problem in many brands has been the
gulf between marketing and sales. There has always been a
“cold war” going on between those two departments because
their thought processes and drivers are different. But if the end
goal is to drive more business-why not give them every
opportunity to collaborate? Formal meetings can be time-
consuming, but social gives us opportunities to help our
employees connect with each other (as well as with their
personal networks).
Besides connecting marketing and sales, another way social
connection can be an advantage is with customer service. In my
opinion, companies that think of customer service more as a
mind-set than a separate department already have an
advantage. Think of ways to connect everyone who has input
so they can collaborate on ways to deliver the best customer
experience.

What is the role of an employee in a social business?
Social media is powered by billions of social interactions:
millions of Tweets with @replies and #hashtags, Facebook
posts, comments, Likes and replies, YouTube annotations,
Reddit threads, and even ‘thumbs-up’ on StumbleUpon.
All of these interactions are people-powered. Your employees -
the people at your organization - create a social business.
Without those personal interactions, there is no social in your
business.
A social interaction, cannot occur between an inanimate object,
an anthropomorphized brand, or even a personified logo. This
means, all those Tweets from your branded tweet stream - they
don’t matter - they’re inauthentic. Those posts are fake and
forced attempts at social interaction. They’re a prime example
of traditional marketers attempting to feign authenticity in an
environment powered by authentic personal interactions.
Here’s a hint: social media is powered by people, not logos.
Here’s the good news. In today’s online universe everyone has
an audience and every individual has a voice. You no longer
have to inauthentically personify your brand, your team, your
employees, your coworkers, do this for you.
…If the future of all branding is personal, how can your brand
remain relevant without embracing truly authentic, people-
powered, social interactions? How can you survive if you’re not
a social business?
What if you unleashed and encouraged the social interactions
of your employees, partners and vendors to power your social
strategy? What if you closed your logo-laden Facebook Brand
page? What if you actually embraced the one thing that truly
differentiates your products in the marketplace - the people
that make what you sell?

The CMO in a social business has to step up and really lead.
This is because, even today, being truly “social” is foreign, and
sometimes scary or threatening, to many people within an
organization. Traditional leaders are trained to see threats. So,
naturally, they identify many threats in a social business
scenario. The CMO has to prove to the organization’s leaders,
as well as to all others, that these threats are identified,
understood, and well addressed. This takes strong leadership.
In addition, the CMO has to lead the exploration, creation, and
articulation of the goal of a social business program. Without a
shared and well understood goal, people will head off in a
variety of directions, creating inefficiencies and frustrations. As
a leader, the CMO will have to keep that goal front and center,
and motivate others to aspire to it. Without a clearly
articulated, well accepted, and adhered to goal, any social
business program will flounder.
Also, the CMO should lead by example. In my practice, I never
asked anyone to do something that I hadn’t proven,
developed, and practiced myself. This provides at least two
positions of strength: 1) the stigma of being a pioneer doesn’t
exist for anyone except the CMO. So, others feel more
comfortable forging ahead. And 2) the CMO can be very
helpful when the team gets stuck or confused.
Traditional marketing departments talk to an audience. Social
marketing teams converse with a community (ideally). This
means that the individuals that comprise the marketing have to
be valuable to the target audience … and able to share their
expertise, knowledge, and insights. They do not have to be
polished actors or stock photography models. In fact, that old
cliché is such a turn off. Our communities want authenticity. It’s
OK to be human, to be odd, to be unique, to be your true self.
It is not OK to be shallow, phony, or disingenuous. Bottom line
is that it’s all about trust. When your community trusts you
(because they know you, see you, understand you, appreciate
you, etc.), and when you are valuable to them (for what you
know, who you know, what you can deliver, etc.) they need you
… they love you.

Social businesses support openness, collaboration and
transparency. One of the greatest benefits is that internal silos
are removed, allowing knowledge, best practices, information
and resources to be shared across departments and teams.
With open communication channels, social businesses are able
to collaborate better, innovate more and get projects done in
record time. Employees also feel more connected to the
organization since opinions and ideas are encouraged, and
relationships between colleagues are forged.
These internal benefits also transcend outward to external
audiences. With the infrastructure in place to be agile, social
businesses can react in real-time and adjust strategy as
needed. This, in turn, results in improved communication and
responsiveness to customer needs.

I believe that often times social practitioners don’t differentiate
between a social strategy and what’s known in the industry as
social business. A social marketing strategy lays out the
channels, platforms and tactics to support your business goals;
like awareness via publishing, insights surfaced through
listening and content marketing to spur engagement. A social
business can be thought of as the intersection of social
technologies and process with an organization’s culture and
practices to create value within your business and thus
delivered to your end-customer. The best way to visualize the
concept of a social business is to think of your organization
working together as a unified and empowered team with the
same goal in mind, as opposed to disparate silos across an
organization that often create a fragmented consumer
experience for prospects and members alike.
One of the biggest benefits of being a social business is the
ability to create a flat organization, where silos are crumbled
and meaningful conversations are initiated across all
geographies and functional areas. By closing the geographic
gap, especially if you’re a disbursed or global workforce, and
breaking down silos, you enable your associates to quickly
connect with other subject matter experts, find answers and to
do their jobs more efficiently. Becoming a social enterprise
doesn’t happen overnight. Complete convergence where
social is deeply embedded into the fabric and culture of the
organization is a progressive evolution, not a revolution.
The role of the C-Suite is to champion social business
transformation via cultural change and to articulate the vision,
while informing the enterprise around the value it brings to the
business and end-customer. Your C-Suite should also ensure
that the organization is enabled to evolve into a social business
by means of providing resources, budget and ensure success.
The eventual convergence of the C-Suite (top down) and
associate groundswell (bottom-up) will ensure that your social
business efforts are not being stifled; C-Suite buy-in is critical.

Having worked inside of enterprise companies both as a
marketing consultant and as a Social Media Director, the key to
successfully integrating social across the organization is
education. This education has to be on two levels: educating
leadership across all departments on the importance of
becoming a social business for their buy-in and subsequently
educating employees within these departments on how they
can help the organization to become a social business.
Creating training documents, presentations and content that
answers the most common questions employees have on social
media implementation is a great way to not only educate on
use, but create stronger internal engagement. Marketing
should also work with Human Resources and IT to draft a social
media policy and implementation guideline that is distributed
to all employees to ensure there is some sort of internal
compliance and consistency. Creating a content strategy of
internal education and consistent communication can better
ensure success towards becoming a solid social business.

Content in a social business carries a bigger load as it must be
radically relevant to both the audience targeted and the
channel in use. For those companies that have yet to embrace
“social” the biggest challenge will be in loosening the grip on
control over the messaging. If they can’t do this, then it will be
hard for them to venture beyond the web properties they own.
Content marketing in a social business operates with different
parameters. It means having an integrated strategy that
enables marketers to be relevant through the power of story as
it applies to distribution. While the aim of a traditional business
is consumption of content, the goal for a social business is
experiential, or interactive, and based on context to achieve
desired outcomes. Content marketing in a social business must
be driven by deep customer insights, or personas, or it will fail
to engage. This is because once your company becomes a
social business, audience expectations change and continue to
evolve along with the channels in use, as well as new ones. And
you must keep pace. There is no “pause” button.

Becoming a social business means you need to start small.
There’s nothing less successful than a business that wants to
join social media, but bites off more than they can chew. They
join Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more – all at
once. Choose one or two platforms to start with, get to know
the lay of the land and what works for your business…or what
doesn’t work. Some platforms will work better than others for
your specific business.
Transforming into a social business means taking small steps,
measuring as you go, and remembering above all: consistency
is key. Strive to build relationships with your followers and open
up that channel of engagement that will lead all your content
marketing and online efforts in the future. I highly recommend
appointing a single person in your organization as your
“community manager.” They may wear other hats as well, but
a single point of contact for this role is key.
We ask all our employees to like, share, comment, and
generally engage with our social presence. If you think of it this
way – 1 post x 40 some employees (if they all engage) x their
network of hundreds, we can get a nice wave of rolling
promotions and it can reach out to people we never would
have reached with just our own business account. So the role of
an employee in a social business is to engage as much as they
can and feel comfortable with. It’s never a requirement, but if
they are ready and willing, take advantage of their support and
network to skyrocket your social efforts.
The marketing department can be integral to any social media
presence, even being the sole driver depending on your
internal business structure. You produce the content for the
audience you're trying to reach and social media is how you
spread the message and draw people back to the content.
Social media has to be thought of from the very beginning
planning phases – where will this content live, how and where
will it reach its target audience, and how will we shape our
message? These are questions that can be answered by the
marketing department – so the most successful social just
becomes part of the overall marketing strategy rather than a
siloed means of customer engagement.

A company transforms to becoming a social business by
putting the customer experience at the forefront and
implementing the processes and technology to support it.
As the number of connected devices grows, the amount of
information that is shared grows which provides customers with
more options and influence. The resulting shift in the power
dynamic in the relationship between customers and
corporations means that customer centricity-and the core driver
of that being customer experience-takes center stage in the
Age of Empowered and Connected Customers. A company
must become customer-centric at every single touchpoint,
otherwise the overall experience for that customer risks being
degraded. The only way to deliver this is through a technology
that scales and with the people and culture that put experience
at the forefront.
It’s an exciting time, to be sure, as people will find more value
in their relationships with the brands that do increase their
customer-centricity and those brands will prosper even more.

"Social business" to me, means that we set up listening posts
to truly understand our customers and employees, and we
consider our customers' communication patterns part of the
process to grow. A social business understands that
technology has infiltrated our current business model in such a
way that a new "go-to-market" business model may emerge. I
think social business is a big idea. In these ways:
• In a social business, the majority of our marketing
distribution comes from our customers (through social
media)
• In a social business, our employees (all employees) are seen
as critical parts of our marketing. Each employee is a
touchpoint that can lead to more new and current business.
• In every piece of content we create, we don't ask "will this
help us sell?" But, we ask "will our customers share this with
their colleagues?"
A social business is inherently a giving organization...giving
knowledge that helps customers live better lives and get better
jobs. There is a purpose behind the marketing, and it compels
stakeholders to take some kind of action in line with the
mission of the organization.
