Nonprofits and Gen Y: You Need a StrategySam Davidson
This is a session I led last week in West Virginia. I spoke to 100 nonprofit leaders about Gen Y, social media, and why they need a detailed strategy in place in order to be effective.
The future of PR is now. It's not five years from now. It's not three years from now. It's happening right now and if you don't learn the new skills needed to keep up, you'll eventually be left behind.
It’s true: your best brand advocates are coming from inside the company. Are you leveraging the reach and authentic enthusiasm of your employees? Identifying and mobilizing your employees are the first steps to putting in place a solid advocacy program. But a crucial last step that isn’t often talked about is measuring results and tweaking your program. In this webinar, we’ll talk to experts from brands that have measured the effectiveness of their advocacy programs to identify what’s working and what could work better. Whatever stage of implementing your program you’re in, it’s important to understand how to tell if your efforts are making a difference for your brand’s reputation in the market.
In this webinar, our panelists will talk about:
-How to set up your employee advocacy program with clear goals and KPIs while also remaining agile;
-What parts of your program you should be measuring;
-How to turn data from your program into results that tell a story;
-Which tools will help you consistently measure your results in a clear, helpful way.
2011 WAFIC Using Social Media In Your Marketing PlanJustin Tamsett
So you have a Facebook page, a You Tube channel, a Flickr account and sending the odd Tweet but what is the return on investment for the business?
This session will share how to integrate what you are doing on-line with your marketing plan.
You will walk away with the tools you need to monitor your website and manage your social media.
And more importantly, you will learn how to maximise your marketing plan by taking it on-line!
This year, Entrepreneur said, “the future of new business is social selling.” Statements like that are easy to get employees excited about at first but it can be difficult for companies to maintain that momentum if it doesn’t yield immediate results. Consistency and sticking with it, however, is key to social selling success. So how can you build your social selling dream team and increase your company’s investment in the process? There are a few tips and strategies--such as breaking down silos between sales and marketing as well as getting the C-Suite involved --that can refresh your team’s approach to social selling and help close deals with greater regularity and ease.
In this panel, our sales experts will discuss:
-How to unite your sales and marketing departments so that your social efforts are supported company-wide;
-How to train and internally motivate your team for better morale and better external results;
-Why the c-suite needs to be involved and how to involve corporate leadership sales initiatives;
-Social selling strategies that focus on authentic and well-researched relationship-building.

Why influencer marketing is one of the most effective marketing tools

December 1, 2015 Webinar:
In the age of employee advocacy, your brand can be as powerful as your workforce is enthusiastic. If your workforce is motivated, engaged, and socially equipped, you can pull off an appropriate and successful employee advocacy program. In fact, if your organization is mid-sized and doesn’t have at its disposal the marketing tools larger outfits might have, internal brand advocates are often the most powerful and cost-effective marketing tool in your arsenal. Our new report on the current state of employee advocacy finds that 64% of advocates cite a workplace program as the reason for attracting new business, and 45% can directly attribute new revenue streams to formal programs. So while you might not be able to dedicate an entire team to implementing a program, it's good for business to assemble your core of informed, active, and proud employee advocates. A great employee advocacy program knows no size boundaries.
In this webinar, join our panelists as they discuss:
Statistics from our report, including why 84% of employee advocates say it's had a positive effect on their career;
Why employee advocacy is word-of-mouth marketing at its best, and can give your brand an edge in the noisy marketplace;
How to identify the most motivated and engaged employees and activate their personal drive on behalf of your organization;
A content strategy that combines company and employee content for an authentic and relevant mix;
And how to use employee advocacy to amplify your brand beyond the limits of its size.
According to recent reports, just 8% of companies say they can prove ROI from their social media spending, yet 70% of marketers say they plan to increase their social media spending. CMOs are under the gun now more than ever to show how social media marketing directly impacts bottom line revenue. And while we all know that good social content marketing can foster an engaged community, how should we measure the tangible, financial benefits? What metrics should you be looking for to justify your social budget to the C-Suite? What, really, is the value of a “like?” If you are a marketer who needs help showing your CMO that an active social community actually improves commerce, this webinar is for you.
Hear from our panel of experts as they discuss:
How to use user-generated content to persuade and influence the purchasing decision.
The best ways to quantify positive social sentiment.
Which metrics matter in the connection between digital community and business bottom line.
What CMOs really want to hear and the best ways to deliver those results.
It’s easy to let the holiday season bog your organization down in the influx of sales campaigns, but make sure you don’t miss out on forecasting trends in marketing for the coming year.

To that end, Social Media Today ends the year with a webinar that focuses on what’s to come in 2016. Where will live-streaming apps take us next? How important will mobile be? What if you don’t have a video strategy? What will be the next wave of startup innovation? How should the enterprise pivot in the face of unexpected challenges?
Join our panelists as we discuss:
- Predictions for trends and changes to come in social marketing in 2016
- How to use these predictions to shape your social strategy
- And which innovations from 2015 will continue to grow in the coming year.

With viral word-of-mouth recommendations outpacing traditional advertising efforts, there’s no greater buzzword right now than influencer marketing.

Social media is becoming a preferred channel for marketers and consumers alike. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity and craft a strong message that will engage and call people to action.
2010 brought us the World Cup, the BP oil spill, Chilean miners, Justin Bieber, the Haitian earthquake, the iPad and iPhone 4. However, the most commonly referenced thing in all of Facebook in 2010 was the 3-letter acronym, HMU. It stands for Hit Me Up.
The term encapsulates the current state of multi-channel communications that is common among many people in the world. It’s used instead of, call me, text me, email me or Facebook me. Hit Me Up implies… “contact me in the most appropriate way for you at the time.
Today the virus of social media is spreading faster than any other epidemic. Almost every internet savvy has come across the term “going viral”. Content going viral resonates so enormously that it catches fire and ends up being the topic of discussion across the internet.
This ebook is an attempt to showcase to you the what, how and why of virality. Also find out how the latest trends and technology has changed the entire perspective of digital communication. You will also get to know about some of the most common social networking sites and how they have transformed our world of networking and socialising.
2. What is Social Media?
Social media are media designed to be
disseminated through social interaction, created
using highly accessible and scalable publishing
techniques. Social media supports the human
need for social interaction, using Internet - and
web-based technologies to transform broadcast
media monologues (one to many) into social
media dialogues (many to many). It supports the
democratization of knowledge and information,
transforming people from content consumers
into content producers.
3. Think of it this way
Advertising used to be about setting off fireworks.
Flashy, noisy, expensive.
And over in an instant.
4. Social Media
has changed that...
Today the most successful campaigns
are like bonfires. They warm people up and
invite them to come a little closer, to share
stories, experiences, ideas, opinions, politics,
irritations, advice, rhetoric, memories, things
that are funny, things that are sad, inspiration,
motivation, bargains, rip-offs and more.
5. Social Media
is about
conversation
Through technology we have
the ability to have conversations like
never before. These conversations
are happening whether you are
involved or not, with your
permission or not... And they are
the most powerful behavior
changer there is. We do like others
like us do. In fact 70% of purchase
decisions are based on friend
recommendations that take place
in these conversations.
6. It’s not just about
“being on
Facebook”
Social Media is first and foremost
about listening.
Listening to what your target market
is already saying, and then developing
a strategy to join the conversation in
a relevant way.
Relevant, Useful and Engaging
content is one of your brand’s most
critical business assets.

14. Social Media Myths
Social Media is cheap if not free
Yes many of the tools used in social media
are free. However, integrating these tools into
a corporate marketing program requires skill,
time, and money.
You can do it all in house
Building and managing a social media presence
is a full-time job, not a weekly addition to a junior
executives job description.
You can make a splash in a short time
Yes, sometimes you can hit it big over night.
But social media needs to be viewed like any other
personal relationship. Thoughtful, considered, and
grown over time. Social Media stands alone.
The best social media integrates with your brand’s
PR, traditional media, promotions and more.
Social Media isn’t measurable
ROI on social media activities is more measurable
than almost all traditional media channels. There
are a host of tools to use to track exactly how
consumers are interacting with your brand online.
