very active on
Twitter

DEPORTALIZE YOUR
COMMUNICATION!
3 PLATFORM APPROACHES
1. LISTEN AND PARTICIPATE
2. INTERNAL CREATION OF CONVERSATION
3. EXTERNAL CREATION OF CONVERSATION
LISTEN AND PARTICIPATE
HOW DO THEY DO IT?
LISTENING ON A SPECIFIC PLATFORM
OR A SPECIFIC TARGET GROUP
INTERNAL CREATION OF CONVERSATION
BUT BEWARE
EXTERNAL CREATION OF CONVERSATION
USING EXISTING PLATFORMS
BUT BEWARE
BUILDING YOUR OWN
BREAK
TEAM WORK
- Do your customers speak
about you (in social media)?
- Where?
- Who?
- What would be the right
platform approach for you?

- Are there subjects around your
product that are involving?
- Which strategy or strategies
would be relevant for you?
- Can you think of any way to
act upon this strategy (a
concept)?
HOW TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSIS
EXAMPLES
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSISWe are not sufficiently
visible on search engines
Create conversation on
an internal platform
when people are already
involved in the subject
Build a Q&A functionality
into the existing
information website
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSIS
Our target group is
extremely difficult to
reach with regular
media
Use an external
platform to make our
customers share their
experiences with our
highly involving product
Start a Facebook-page
and an Instagram
profile. Use hash tags.
Encourage people to
share videos and photos
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSIS
We are a fairly unknown
start-up business
without a big marketing
budget
Use our existing
customer service to
listen and participate
and create surprisingly
good customer
experiences
Buy a social media
listening tool and
educate your service
reps to go the extra
mile
LET’S COMPLICATE THINGS A LITTLE
Problem
Analysis
Insight
Guiding policy
Coherent action
PROBLEM
TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING FOR THE PUBLISHING HOUSE IS
BECOMING INCREASINGLY INEFFECTIVE. PEOPLE DO NOT BUY
BOOKS BECAUSE OF A PRINT AD IN “WEEKEND-AVISEN BØGER”,
BUT MORE AND MORE BECAUSE OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
FRIENDS - VERY OFTEN IN SOCIAL MEDIA.
ANALYSIS
OUR METRICS TOOL REVEALS THAT WE HAVE RELATIVELY
FEW VISITORS ON OUR WEBSITE AND ONLINE SURVEYS
SHOW THAT IT IS AUTHORS AND NOT READERS WHO VISIT
OUR WEBSITE.
INSIGHT
READERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT PUBLISHERS - THEY CARE
ABOUT AUTHORS AND BOOKS!
GUIDING POLICY
BOOKS AND AUTHORS SHOULD BE THE STARTING POINT FOR CREATING
INVOLVEMENT WITH READERS
(IF WE GET THEM INVOLVED, THEY WILL START TALKING ABOUT BOOKS
AND AUTHORS AND IF THIS HAPPENS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WE WILL
BECOME PART OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA CONVERSATION)
COHERENT ACTION
CREATE LINKS BETWEEN BOOKS AND THE DIGITAL WORLD
TRAIN AUTHORS IN THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
GIVE AUTHORS TOOLS TO EFFECTIVELY USE SOCIAL MEDIA

preferably by-weekly
