                         ENERGISE2-0.COM
Be Social




            ENERGISE2-0.COM
Be ‘Customer Led’

Talking WITH rather than
AT your customers is the
core foundation of a
successful social media
strategy


The basis of a good
conversation is
to listen first

                                 ENERGISE2-0.COM
The rules of the game have changed


The 5 key things to remember
     about Social Media


                              ENERGISE2-0.COM
1. It’s a Revolution

A fundamental and revolutionary change
in online behaviour, expectations and
the online customer experience.
The end of the ‘read only’ internet

Content generated by the network for
the network

We are no longer passive consumers of
content/brand messages



                                         ENERGISE2-0.COM
2. It’s Social

A conversation
not a broadcast
platform


Conversations are taking
place relevant to your
brand – are you listening?




                                   ENERGISE2-0.COM
Social Media Listening




                         ENERGISE2-0.COM
3. Power Shift

Social media empowers
customers, empowers the network




                       We no longer control the brand
                      The brand becomes the customer
                              experience of the brand –
                            experiences that are widely
                                          shared online
                                                ENERGISE2-0.COM
ENERGISE2-0.COM
4. Declining Effectiveness

Declining effectiveness of traditional
approaches to sales and marketing

Does anyone listen any more?

We are no longer passive sheep
waiting to be ‘driven’ to your web site

If you treat us like sheep, we will tell you
to ‘flock off’.

Lets Discuss




               ENERGISE2-0.COM
Some Questions

• Do we need to unlearn marketing and PR?

• Are new ‘mindsets’ required?

• Do we need to shift from Outbound to Inbound
  Marketing and PR?

• Is Content King (after the customer of course)?

• Is strategy important? What tools are available to help
  us?

Rethinking Marketing & PR




                            ENERGISE2-0.COM
Rethinking Marketing & PR


• Unlearn marketing

• New ‘mindset’ required

• Stop telling people how good we are. Prove it.

• A shift from Outbound Marketing to Inbound/Content
  Based Marketing



                                                   ENERGISE2-0.COM
Inbound v. Outbound




                      ENERGISE2-0.COM
Old Marketing (Outbound)

• Propaganda marketing – this is how great our product/service
  is, now buy it

• Interruption marketing –
  direct mail, advertising

• One way shouting AT customers

• Short term sales/campaign driven

• Channels – Print Ads: TV/Radio Ads; Cold Calling; eMail Blasts;
  Online Advertising; Web Sites that talk AT you
                                                         ENERGISE2-0.COM
Reality Check

Customers are no longer passive sheep




                                 ENERGISE2-0.COM
Inbound/Content Marketing

• Content is King! – But content is only ‘great’ if it adds value to
  the customer so….
• Customer is King! Adopt a customer led approach
• Produce great content that is ‘Customer Led’; Authentic;
  Compelling; Entertaining; Surprising; Valuable; Interesting
• Establish your company as a ‘thought leader’ – a ‘trusted
  resource’
• Produce great content and your customer will come to you.
  Produce really great content and they will share it
• Key channels are ……………..

Inbound/Content Marketing

Performance Measurement

To ensure that your Social Media activities deliver high ROI, it is
important to monitor, measure and evaluate your social media
performance on an on-going basis. Key questions to address:

•What social media performance measures and KPIs should be
used – both in terms of the overall ‘buzz’ created and measures
for individual channels?

•What tools/software will be used to assist performance
measurement?

•What reports will be produced, for who and how frequently?
                                                            ENERGISE2-0.COM
Performance Measurement

Should be undertaken at three main levels:

•Individual social media channels

•Overall ‘buzz’

•Business Impact
