What is social media strategy?

 Dear Senior Communications and
 Marketing Professionals,

 Your social media strategy is a
 communication strategy.

 Sincerely,
 Susan
What is a campaign?

A focused effort to achieve goals
using a variety of channels
appropriate to the results sought
CASE STUDY:

Mascot Search
I. What we did

Goals of the Internet
campaign:

inclusive

•participation
•engage students, alumni and
fans
•inform/educate stakeholders

                               What we

 •Traditional: campus portal, a bit of print
 (Alumni Magazine), e-newsletters,
 student newspapers

* former mascot had a blog and Facebook profile

                                      What we did.
How we used the channels...
•Website as hub
•Blog for updates
•Twitter for early announcements /
sneak peeks
•Facebook for preview; discussion; make
your own case; graphics of some of the
suggestions
•YouTube for fun / distraction and THE
LAUNCH
•Flickr for drawings of finalists
                              What we did.
Our approach:
•we kept up our end of the conversation
•design and graphics created consistent
concept / brand
•used personal and informal tone
•built up community by reinforcing all
channels
•developed trust that social media was
the way to find out and stay informed
•devoted time and energy to integrated
social media content
                               What we did.

& fans not in Williamsburg took part.

visitors

   17,000+ views of YouTube video
announcement
   21,611 views of YouTube video What we
                                 of the
Griffin                          got.
First appearance of the Griffin in April 2010.
Alumni love the new mascot.

Social media allowed a conversation
and we offered more engaging info
and more immediate updates.

The viral aspect of social media
reached individuals who weren’t
paying attention to our mascot
search.

                            Why it
                            mattered.
Alumni over 40 use social
media!

(Now we know.)
20% of alums who suggested a mascot
were
52 or older
5,591 alums provided feedback on
finalists (50% of total)!

*When individuals care about a topic and
are consistently offered the opportunity to
participate, they will.
                                    Why it
                                    mattered.
Earned media was high.

Something whacky led to reporter
interest.
    •The Daily Show
    •Washington Post
    •ESPN
    •USA Today
    •Sports Illustrated
    •Chronicle of Higher Education

Reporters following our search used the
social media                      Why it
content we had in place.          mattered.
BEST PRACTICES
What works?
         questions
          emotion
    photos and videos
          weather
      famous alums
          athletics
insider info / sneak peeks
Look familiar?
            specific goals
  more planning/less spontaneous
make a commitment and be consistent
  institutional buy-in and support
          multiple channels
     multiple sources of content
           sense of humor
 planned evolution (track reactions/
              patterns)
            monitor results
Seriously.
Like every other part of your communication
   strategy, social media requires a plan and
        good old-fashioned hard work.
Good news!

 You built a
 following.

Susan’s
pearls of wisdom
It’s the
conversation,
   stupid.
Beware of trolls.
It’s like telling your
   kids about sex.
 Answer the question that is
          asked.
I was once paid
to write tweets for a
       squirrel.
Questions?
  #yourturn
Thanks.
