Now combining wider range of tools and techniques. Still have to be a good marketeer or PR operator. But need good knowledge of how to integrate SM tools into the communications mix
Now combining wider range of tools and techniques with event management – and adding capabilities such as broadcasting previously too expensive for most budgets. My Slidecast got 481 views in the first week after it was published on SlideShare.

Case study of how established international AEC firm integrated Web 2.0 into its corporate communications. Corporate communications and HR teams recruited 20 bloggers worldwide. “ Blogger Manifesto” HOK Blog Policy – etiquette: confidentiality, professionalism, mutual respect and good taste. Two- day, in-person training session. Ongoing Training/Support Help Blog Weekly Blog Update posts edited for grammar, punctuation and spelling – never for content semi-annual WebEx meetings
Worked with HR department Identified a Facebook Queen (our youngest, 20-something team member) Managing the HOK Network channels is a team effort for the Corporate Communications group
The Facebook, VisualCV and LinkedIn pages, plus the small Opportunities search link on the home page, show that one purpose of the site is for recruitment, and the blog will at least give potential recruits – particularly those Generation Y people for whom social networks are important – a lot of additional information about what it’s like to work at HOK.
Corporate communications identified a Lord of the Flickr
With video an increasingly popular download online, a HOK YouTube channel was an obvious step
HOK powerpoint slide presentations are also available on a Slideshare page, ranging from project overviews to presentations about sustainability
In addition to a HOKNetwork corporate Twitter account, HOK also has a “chief executive Tweeter” @somechum Good example of: applying consistent branding across online channels Aligning corporate strategic objectives with online tactics Involving, educating and monitoring staff engagement with different channels How channels reinforce each other. Blogs reuse Flickr, YouTube, SlideShare, etc. Tweets about blog posts, about events, links to photos, etc
Looking back, planning ahead
start small – eg: Google Alerts to gather market intelligence, then - depending on strategy - maybe an internal wiki project, blog network, Facebook page
invest wisely – Many proven tools are low/no cost to start. Learning and using them, however, requires time , as does finding the right people to use them
If you have existing social media practitioners, seek to build on their experiences and skills
manage expectations – ensure clear policies are in place; don’t expect sudden impact (you’re changing behaviour not technologies)
identify issue(s), then respond (not vice versa) – eg: blog for a reason, not just because you can
– social media may change organisation dynamics; is your organisation ready to be more communicative?
spread the risk – many Web 2.0 tools are still early-stage. Not all of them will survive
monitor and moderate – ensure status updates, etc, are appropriate (ban spammers promptly) have policies in place governing employees online activities – protect you and sometimes protect them from themselves
bans don’t work – can even be counter-productive, preventing marketing people from monitoring brands in social networks, etc Mobile tools Drive people out of organisation or deter them from joining in the first place – would you ban people having pub conversations about your organisation?
you can’t ignore it – organisations need awareness/education whether they use social media or not – there is no Return on Ignoring If you ignore conversations among your customers, you lose information – and, remember, your competitors will be listening to your customers
