“Social Media is the democratization of
   information, transforming people from
content readers into publishers. It is the shift
from a broadcast mechanism, one-to-many,
    to a many-to-many model, rooted in
conversations between authors, people, and
                   peers”

Influence the consumer

 Meeting: 3rd of April 2012
Monitor




             Knowing what’s said online about your
             products and services—should be a
             default social-media function, taking
             place constantly.

             You can glean insights from an
             effective monitoring program that
             informs everything from product design
             to marketing and provides advance
             warning of potentially negative
             publicity.



          McKinsey Report, 2012
Respond

             Pinpointing conversations (negative and
             positive) and responding at a personal
             level is a key part of social-media
             engagement.

             No response can be quick enough

             By responding rapidly, transparently, and
             honestly, companies can positively
             influence consumer sentiment and
             behaviour.




          McKinsey Report, 2012
Amplify

“Amplification” involves designing your
marketing activities to have an inherently
social motivator that spurs broader
engagement and sharing.

This approach means more than merely
reaching the end of planning a marketing
campaign and then thinking that “we
should do something social”

It means that the core concepts for campaigns must invite customers into an
experience that they can choose to extend by joining a conversation

It means offering experiences that customers will feel great about sharing,
because they gain a badge of honor by publicizing content that piques the
Interest of others.
Lead

Lead consumers toward long-term behavioral
changes.

In the early stages of the consumer decision
journey, this may involve boosting brand awareness
by driving Web traffic to content about existing
products and services.




                                        Marketers also can use social media to generate
                                        Buzz through product launches,

                                        In addition, when consumers are ready to buy,
                                        companies can promote time-sensitive targeted
                                        deals and offers through social media to
                                        generate traffic and sales.

It’s essential for brands to understand why
and where different groups of consumers
participate in this new world.

It Started as an idea
Social Networking Led to Social Connections that spread the message
       across these social networks

                 Paul Dervan      readers on his

                                    influencer                         Developer
                                                        Smith

                    Nick              Twitter

                  McGiveny           Lessons
Where next – get iphones into families hands

                 A win at the Blog Awards led to a new
                                 website


               story picked up by Gerry Ryan and Ireland
                                  AM


                         Twitter picked up on it



                         It was blogged about


               Actively approached journalists (with links
                      made through Social Media)
Set it FREE

To celebrate World Autism Day 2011 the app was sold for free for 3 days.
Through active social PR by 2.30pm it was trending. Lisa meticulously clicked
and thanked every RT!

Critical mass was achieved as Australia woke up and America started work - the
American Group 'Autism Speaks' retweeted and by morning the RTs were in the
Thousands

The blogs and facebook took on their own momentum.
Then Disaster Struck – well sort of

Apple approved an update that had been in review for 2 weeks....it tripped the
listing back to full price.!!

This required a huge PR campaign on blogs, Facebook and Twitter to tell people
this was an error and not to click until Apple set the app for Free again (and they
gave it free for another day)
Now what

•   About 15,500 app downloads
•   The app costs €20/$25

Lisa says

    ”being sustainable was as crucial as having social
     impact. If you cannot make a living then you cannot
        "do what you do" and you have to go and get
      another job. I'm doing what I love, I am good at it”
“Social Media connected me to the world in a
 way that a stay at home special needs mum
could never be. It gave me a new skill set and
 it turned me into an agent for social change,
      an entrepreneur and CEO of my own
                   destiny.”

Our social networks are hyper
     targeted at the most
   important people in the
           world……
Ourselves, our families and our friends
Helge Tenno
•   Develop relationships
•   Watch for editorial opportunities
•   Be simple and open
•   Interlink all your networks
•   Be useful
•   Be informative
• Be interesting
• Interact with people as much as
  you can (give feedback, engage into
 discussions, compliment them)
• Listen before you act
• Facilitate conversation, don’t
  dominate
• Actively converse
The internet facilitates and
   supports civic engagement, it:
          raises awareness
       educates those interested
                   &
        can mobilise groups by
“enhancing the flow of information across
   diverse members of the community”
                              (Kavanaugh et al., 2005, p.129).
Relationships are the key currency

Social media is a great way to build
 and maintain good relationships.

David Hayes, Cybercom
It Pays Off
The relationship is apparent and significant:

 “socially engaged companies are more
          financially successful.

So now we know it pays to be social, but
  it is important to note that by “social,”
 we’re talking about deep engagement,
       not merely having a presence.”
