Editor's Notes
- What I want to speak with you about today is
- Marketers thought they could hop on and start producing the same old crap and get somewhere.Part of an ecosystem that must have a strategy rooted in vision and purpose in order to be most effective. Facebook is a tactic, not a strategy. It’s a tactic; a channel in which we’re able to actualize a prong of our mar commstartegy.
- While Facebook is a large piece of the social media market share, it’s not a silver bullet to solve your business challenges and it’s not a place you can treat like we’ve treated Internet marketing. It is a place where we may not need to earn a like, but we must earn the continued like, engagement of our community. Facebook is a great place, the most powerful social network today, however it is part of a much larger digital ecosystem, that if not built and planned for properly will never become what it could be. If you haven’t done the strategic ground work, it’s going to be difficult for you to build an engaged audience on Facebook, or any other social network. If you don’t care about your community, it’s shows and will be that much harder to pretend like you do. Therefore, you will likely never acquire the reach and engagement without paying for it and even then you must have engaging content.
- Linear. One-way.Measure.Rinse and repeat.a specific structure of narrative with a specific style and set of characters and which includes a sense of completeness.
- A central, unique aspect of storytelling is its reliance on the audience to develop specific visual imagery and detail to complete and co-create the story. Storytelling is a process, a medium for sharing, interpreting, offering the content and meaning of a story to an audience.
- How many of you believe that Facebook is a place where you can tell stories, not just create and publish them? As practitioners, I think we are all good at creating stories, but we’re not necessarily good storytellers. Story: a narrative account of real or fictional eventsStoryteller: someone who tells the story
- This is all of your strategy that hopefully ladders up to business objectives. If you don’t have these things outlined, don’t start with Facebook. Often times I’m baffled by the lack of thought and strategy of an organization. Many are unclear of what they stand for, why but think it will be simple to articulate and emulate elsewhere. This isn’t how it works today.
- A layer over mar comm objectives
- Once you’ve laid a foundation, which will largely determine your direction on Facebook, then build a content strategy that organizes your approach and how you’ll create, produce and publish your content. Because Facebook is a dynamic medium, determine how the UGC will play into your owned content. What is your CS and how will you participate in UGC?
- Owned and static to dynamic… YOU SHOULD OWN YOUR CONTENT AND LEVERAGE THE DYNAMIC NATURE OF SOCIAL TO HELP SHAPE IT
- The baffling thing to me about Oreo’s killer digital marketing strategy is how many people have labeled it their “Facebook strategy.” We often make the mistake at looking at the bright and shiney objects instead of looking further into form and functionality. Oreo is a perfect example. Everything they’re doing drives to Kraft of Nabisco’s websites and they’re using social and content to drive the traffic.
- Kraftfoods.com hosts all Oreo recipes and drives there.
- Honor daily birthday, which can be entered through a Facebook app.
- Fill-in-the-blank, conversations between milk and cookie, recipes, drive to their apps and brand integrations (Walmart and mint oreo), fan comments and ideas, and more!
- Mimic site apps with the exception of a few.
