Editor's Notes
- Marketing as influence.Influence in a positive sense, thatwedeliversomethingthat the customerwants; and that is beneficial for the organisation. Importanttounderstandthatinfluence is not aboutsmoke and mirrors, butrathergiving an accurate representation of the product and itstruevalue.
- Malmö university has a presence on mostchannels,eithergeneratedproactively by staff or created by peopleinvolvedwithour brand. Facebook, not unsurprisingly, dominates. Internally, staffareusingYammer.
- Reach is ourabilitytoreachout and touch people. Gathering followers and likes should not be ourprimaryaim, butthereneedsto be a certaincriticalmass for investment to be worthwhile. Malmö University has around 19 Facebook pages and groupscreated by membersofstaff – in total this is around 10 000 likes. Not all ofthesewill be unique, but still a significantnumber. Demonstrates the need for a coordinated approach tohowweuse social media on campus. Thiscommunity has beencreatedwithout a significant investment i.e. no full timestaff, no focused plan or strategy.

- 2. Admin offers opportunitytomeetupwith the university, adminthentakesopportunitytosuggest meeting up
- 3. Conclusion – an initial concern has nowbeenchangedto a potential prospect. This kind ofadminbehaviourcan be taught, and learnt.
- Nocontingency, no SOPs, no crisis management – toomuch is based on individuals: weshouldownour space, get our house in order.Investment is people, not things
- Expectation management – won’treplaceourwebsite, won’t get 10 000 new friends;butcaninfluence and make change.
