Social media and social networks
    make these easier to achieve…
 • Content enriched by web visitors leading to improved
   search engine ranking and organic search
 • Content presented or re-presented in public social
   media sites replacing search engine content
 • Peer recommendations providing a richer source for
   trust and conversion than corporate content can
 • Content analysed to reflect the “pulse” of consumers
   that can help steer corporate decisions
 • Experiences enabling easy transition between different
   “motive states”

Introducing Dave
1. I am…
     –   24 years old
     –   Market research analyst, living in central London
     –   Marathon runner, tennis player, cyclist and swimmer
     –   Spend 3-4 hours/day online, active in social media with own facebook profile and regular
         twitter feed

• Triathlons. I want to be the best that I can be
     –   Tracking my performance
     –   Comparing with others
     –   Reviewing weaknesses and opportunities

• I respect Meb Keflezighi. In my opinion he has the right attitude to the
  sport. Would me nice to get inside his head while he is training and
  running
• I plan to be at the 2012 Olympics – but it is almost impossible to get
  tickets
• Shoes are important to me – (well except when I swim, I guess)

Dave’s story
•   Last week I was surfing the web and chanced across an article comparing the
    various shoe sole structures and their impact on running performance
•   Turns out that I “pronate” and need “motion control” shoes. The Reebok Premier
    Road plus took my interest as there seemed to be a lot of buzz around that shoe on
    the web and especially on their web site. I hadn’t realized there could be so much
    difference in running performance, but from the comments in the Reebok
    community it seems people are really happy with this shoe. I though it would be
    great to try out the shoe so I found a nearby store and popped in.
•   2 days later… wow – what an in-store experience. It seems that because I recorded
    my preferences on the “magic sport shoe” site they were almost expecting me
    when I visited the store. They had exactly the shoe I was researching and it is a
    dream to run with. Now I have registered my purchase on their web site and have
    been invited to join the “virtual runner’s club”. It seems I am also “in the running”
    for tickets to the finale of the 2012 Olympics Marathon in the main stadium.
•   2 weeks later… the “Rvirtual runner’s club” is really handy. I have found a new club
    to run with that fits my schedule, and it seems that each time I engage with the
    site I am earning “kudos” that increase my chances for the Olympics marathon
    finals tickets.

So what is social media?
•   Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social
    interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing
    techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies
    to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social
    media dialogues (many to many). It supports the democratization of
    knowledge and information, transforming people from content
    consumers into content producer… wikipedia


•   Media made by individuals, co-created content.
•   Things that people want to talk about and groups with a common
    interest.

wrap up and punchline
I exist to facilitate a strategic
       approach to the web
• Facilitate – all the activities needed to help businesses, of all sorts, build and
   execute their plans. We are a company of facilitators – we do not build things
   ourselves but help others.

• Strategic approach –the focus is on those activities that a company engages in to:

      –   build their vision of the world;
      –   decide what they want to “be” as part of that vision (strategic intent);
      –   identify the necessary changes to their business in order to “become” that part
          of the vision;
      –   manage these changes to deliver the strategic intent.
• The web – here we refer to the interaction between society (individuals, teams,
   organisations) and digital space in all its forms (Social media, internet, intranets,
   extranets, virtual worlds, Software as a Service - SaaS), across all channels.

  • 9. Introducing Dave 1. I am… – 24 years old – Market research analyst, living in central London – Marathon runner, tennis player, cyclist and swimmer – Spend 3-4 hours/day online, active in social media with own facebook profile and regular twitter feed • Triathlons. I want to be the best that I can be – Tracking my performance – Comparing with others – Reviewing weaknesses and opportunities • I respect Meb Keflezighi. In my opinion he has the right attitude to the sport. Would me nice to get inside his head while he is training and running • I plan to be at the 2012 Olympics – but it is almost impossible to get tickets • Shoes are important to me – (well except when I swim, I guess) 03/05/10 ©… – Amberbuzz Consulting Confidential Page
  • 10. Dave’s story • Last week I was surfing the web and chanced across an article comparing the various shoe sole structures and their impact on running performance • Turns out that I “pronate” and need “motion control” shoes. The Reebok Premier Road plus took my interest as there seemed to be a lot of buzz around that shoe on the web and especially on their web site. I hadn’t realized there could be so much difference in running performance, but from the comments in the Reebok community it seems people are really happy with this shoe. I though it would be great to try out the shoe so I found a nearby store and popped in. • 2 days later… wow – what an in-store experience. It seems that because I recorded my preferences on the “magic sport shoe” site they were almost expecting me when I visited the store. They had exactly the shoe I was researching and it is a dream to run with. Now I have registered my purchase on their web site and have been invited to join the “virtual runner’s club”. It seems I am also “in the running” for tickets to the finale of the 2012 Olympics Marathon in the main stadium. • 2 weeks later… the “Rvirtual runner’s club” is really handy. I have found a new club to run with that fits my schedule, and it seems that each time I engage with the site I am earning “kudos” that increase my chances for the Olympics marathon finals tickets. 03/05/10 © Amberbuzz Consulting Confidential Page
  • 11. Dave’s lifetime value to you is over £100,000 • As a typical consumer, based on 3 purchases/year of around £200 each • Each year he recommends your brand to at least 6 others, two of whom become advocates of your brand who then make 3 purchases/year each • How many Dave’s are there in the UK? 03/05/10 © Amberbuzz Consulting Confidential Page

How does this compare with their experiences with your competitors brands? 5. What are the touchpoints and dialogues they could experience? • What are the process implications? • What are the cultural implications? • What are the brand implications? • What are the business shareholder implications 03/05/10 © Amberbuzz Consulting Confidential Page

It supports the democratization of knowledge and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producer… wikipedia • Media made by individuals, co-created content. • Things that people want to talk about and groups with a common interest. • 1+1=3 • http://www.interactiveinsightsgroup.com/blog1/social-media- examples-superlist-17-lists-and-tons-of-examples/ 03/05/10 © Amberbuzz Consulting Confidential Page

  • 50. I exist to facilitate a strategic approach to the web • Facilitate – all the activities needed to help businesses, of all sorts, build and execute their plans. We are a company of facilitators – we do not build things ourselves but help others. • Strategic approach –the focus is on those activities that a company engages in to: – build their vision of the world; – decide what they want to “be” as part of that vision (strategic intent); – identify the necessary changes to their business in order to “become” that part of the vision; – manage these changes to deliver the strategic intent. • The web – here we refer to the interaction between society (individuals, teams, organisations) and digital space in all its forms (Social media, internet, intranets, extranets, virtual worlds, Software as a Service - SaaS), across all channels. 03/05/10 © Amberbuzz Consulting Confidential Page

  4. Starbucks: Starbuck is clearly dialed in to the world of social media, and that is reflected in the Starbucks fan page. The page incorporates great videos, varied content, and has active engagement with the fans. But what makes it truly exceptional, is its use of status updates. Status updates are an important aspect of any fan page because they provide two-way communication between company and fan, while keeping the page fresh with new content and information, which gives fans a reason to return. So many companies struggle to understand how best to utilize these updates and either don’t use them at all, update solely about product announcements, or update so often users become overwhelmed and the updates turn into so much noise. Starbucks, on the other hand, has established a good frequency of updates, sharing something new every couple of days. More importantly, though, the content is varied, fun, and interesting. Their updates share videos, blog posts about all aspects of coffee — and not just on the official company blog — including how to grow coffee beans, articles about Starbucks and Starbucks employees. The tone of each update is informative and casual, and even their product updates are kept varied enough to remain interesting, for example, by offering up reviews of new music or books for sale in their cafes. As a result, the quality status update content has led to a very engaged fan base, with every update receiving thousands of comments. The Starbucks Facebook fan page is a great example of how a company can still engage fans without the use of flashy apps, and instead simply focusing on quality content.
  5. DELL: In early 2005, Dell was bashed around blogosphere Dell dispatched technicians to reach out to complaining bloggers and solve their problems, earning pleasantly surprised buzz Starts Direct2Dell blog where chief blogger Lionel Menchaca gave the company a frank and credible human voice In 2007, Dell launched IdeaStorm.com, asking customers to tell the company what to do Today, Dell even enables customers to rate its products on its site. Negative blog posts about Dell have dropped from 49% to 22%. Dell Outlet faces a common but vexing challenge. A division of the giant made-to-order computer business, Dell Outlet carries refurbished equipment and other inventory that it needs to sell quickly. Because the division has to get the word out fast, it doesn’t have the luxury of hiring an agency and developing an ad campaign.Instead, the outlet relies primarily on email marketing, paid search results, search-engine optimization and affiliate links to raise awareness and drive sales. It’s always looking for new, cost-effective ways to reach people. Holding Conversations When company employee Ricardo Guerrero discovered Twitter at the South by Southwest conference in 2007, he thought he’d hit on a good channel for pushing out information. The rest of the team agreed.“We thought, ‘Great—this has a really short lead time, and it will let us communicate our message effectively,’” says Stefanie Nelson, manager of demand generation at Dell Outlet. “We started using it for one-way communication.”The company was surprised when people responded. “They wanted to ask questions. They wanted to share their experiences, good and bad,” says Nelson, who’s based in Austin, TX. “We realized that people were really interested in talking with us.” Raising awareness So instead of using Twitter just to let people know about deals, the company has come to think of it as a good place to interact with customers—and to raise awareness about the brand. “When we respond to people on Twitter, they get really excited, and we gain advocates.”That doesn’t mean Dell Outlet has abandoned the deals. In fact, the company often posts offers that are exclusive to Twitter. They twitter only a few times a week so as not to spam their followers, and they use tracking URLs to gauge what followers find most appealing. Increasing sales Do the coupons work? Big time. Not only do they get retweeted and picked up by coupon sites—both of which spread the brand name—they also drive sales. Dell Outlet has booked more than $3 million in revenue attributable to its Twitter posts. In addition, the division has done research showing that awareness of the outlet has grown, too. “The uplift has been more than we dreamed,” says Nelson. Connecting with customers Dell now has more than 80 Dell-branded Twitter accounts (including @dellhomeoffers for new system deals) offering everything from videos of new technologies to promotions for Asia-Pacific customers. It also encourages employees to twitter, and has well over 100 employee accounts. Dell uses many of those accounts (with names like @StefanieAtDell), primarily for customer service exchanges that require direct messages (Twitter’s private channel) and to reach out to people who are twittering about Dell (which they find via Twitter search).Nelson has learned when starting a new account on Twitter, it’s smart to reach out to your current customer base. They’re already interested in chatting with you, and they’ll tell other people about you. But no matter who’s following you on Twitter, she says, “offering relevant information that people are interested in is key.”
  6. DELL: Listen first. Learn from what your customers are saying to establish your baseline. Engage employees internally through social media. Use blogs, Yammer or company-specific social tools to get people used to and excited about the platforms. Encourage employees to set up social media accounts. As you know, social media is addictive! Once people try it, not only will they be itching for more, they’ll be coming up with ideas for how it can benefit their team. Starbucks: The key takeaways are that you have to know your audience, you have to provide quality, regular content, you need to encourage discussion and engagement, and you must not take yourself too seriously.
  7. Create ads that work as content. Create fun or arresting videos that tell a story and seamlessly integrate your brand. Extreme Sheep LED Art for Samsung is a great example of how to do this right.It's all about the dialogue. Be aware of and harness the social exchange process on YouTube, including comments, ratings, and the cycle of video responses, remixes, and mashups. Hip-hop artist Soulja Boy rose to fame largely because fans shared hundreds of video responses showing them doing his signature dance.Ideas come from everywhere. Lee Clow, chairman and chief creative officer, TBWA Worldwide told "The New York Times" that having consumers create commercials "is part of this brave new world we live in." Crowdsourcing is a legitimate and effective tool, so stay open to it. This iPod ad created by an 18-year-old UK student is a fantastic piece of user-generated content that was then parlayed into a real Apple ad.Find the talent and use it. YouTube has a well-established pantheon of video stars, with built-in audiences. Partner where appropriate and secure exposure for your video. Carl's Jr. successfully teamed up with popular YouTube personality iJustine, instantly accessing her over 150,000 subscribers.Tools exist. Use them. Explore ways to best place and promote your video. "Featured videos" garner far more traffic in shorter time. And buying supporting media can help your content reach and grow its audience. YouTube is using its own channel to spread awareness of new tools via the "Adopt a Feature" program.
  8. Balanced Info. How much information and how many tabs should you have on your Facebook page?  Just ask Goldilocks.  You want enough information to keep your users engaged but not so much it’s information overload. Example of Effective Tab StructureBoxes are so 2008. When Facebook launched major updates to Facebook pages a few months ago, a lot of the original content was relegated to the “Boxes” tab just like it was for personal profiles.  Things were starting to get cluttered and disorienting on personal and brand pages, which is most likely why the switch was made.  You can tell which brands haven’t updated their pages when you see a bunch of info on the Boxes tab, aka, the bucket of left over information from the days of infinite scrolling.  Users expect intuitively named tabs so they know where they are going when browsing your page – not a bunch of random stuff in a Boxes tab. Vanity URLs. As most know by now, Facebook is now offering vanity URLs that help with recall and ultimately SEO (e.g. http://www.facebook.com/vitrue).  Check out our earlier blog post for details. Exclusive Fan Offers.  With a little know-how you can easily give special offers only to your Facebook fans.  They love this kind of stuff.  At Vitrue, we do this all the time for our clients. It’s a very powerful and simple way to build your fan-base. Custom Apps. Many brands develop custom Facebook solutions to engage with their customers on a level beyond the standard Facebook features to help differentiate from the competition.  In many cases these custom solutions provide key viral discovery components, which share activities with friends via news feeds and notifications.  These features help spread the word and keep users coming back for repeat visits.
  9. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rules. There are a few guidelines that determine what sort of content stays in Wikipedia and what gets removed by the army of volunteers who edit the site on a daily basis.Before creating an entry for your product or service, be sure the entry meets the notability requirement. Generally speaking, “a topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.” While this isn’t a problem for an internet superstar like Joe, many new products and services may not yet qualify as notable. While it’s true that you can add anything to Wikipedia, chances are an editor will pull your entry if you aren’t notable. Worse yet, you risk offending the Wikipedia community who may consider your entry to be a form of spam. The last thing any of us want is to be accused of spamming. If you meet the notability requirement, be sure to write your entry from a Neutral Point of View (NPOV). Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales refers to the NPOV rule as “absolute and non-negotiable.” Be aware that, if your entry isn’t written from a NPOV, someone else will very likely modify it to conform with the rule. Given the opportunity, most of us would prefer to draft our own copy rather than have a stranger redraft the copy on our behalf. Prepare to lose control. Once your entry is in Wikipedia anyone can update or modify it. Unlike your own website, you won’t have the final word on how your information is presented. You may already be listed. There are millions of entries in Wikipedia, with thousands of new pages being added every day. Joe was surprised to find his entry, and you may be surprised to find that your name, product, or service is already listed without your knowledge. If that’s the case, it raises a few questions — who wrote the article and what did they say about you? Whether you plan on creating your own Wikipedia entry or not, ALL businesses should make an effort to monitor Wikipedia for mentions of their company name, key employees, brand names, and service offerings. Depending on the nature of your business monitoring Wikipedia could be as important as monitoring references to your business in the mainstream media and the blogosphere (you do monitor blogs, don’t you?). The fact that anyone can create or modify a Wikipedia entry means that your entry could be modified by an unhappy customer, or worse, an unethical competitor. As a result you’ll want to monitor your entries for any misleading or inaccurate information, and promptly make corrections when justified. This is an area where the NPOV rule can really work to your advantage — you can use the rule to ensure that your Wikipedia entry is a fair and balanced account of your business. Consider how your listing will affect your Google ranking. Are you currently number one for the name, word, or phrase that would also be the title of your Wikipedia entry? If so, are you prepared to lose your top ranking to Wikipedia? It could happen. It’s well known that Google favors sites that it considers to be authoritative. Few sites are as authoritative as Wikipedia. Wikipedia ranks number one on Google for many popular search phrases. As I’ve noted, you don’t have the same level of control over your Wikipedia entry that you have over your own website. With that in mind, consider the possible issues that may arise if your Wikipedia entry were to outrank you on Google. Sometimes a link is better than an dedicated entry. In the past, search engine experts have encouraged website owners to find relevant Wikipedia entries where they can insert links to their websites. Links from Wikipedia were believed to pass page rank and authority to the site being linked to. The problem is, lots of people had the same idea, and many unscrupulous SEO practitioners began indiscriminately spamming Wikipedia with off-topic links. As a result, Wikipedia has begun adding the “no follow” attribute to all outgoing links. This means that Google and other search engines won’t follow the link, and links of this sort will no longer improve your search engine ranking. However, it may still be a good idea to add links to information about your product or service where appropriate. I can’t stress enough how important it is to make the links appropriate and on topic — again, link spamming is never a good idea. Besides, a link of this sort is only useful if your website is relevant to the content of the Wikipedia page you’ve added the link to. Remember, the goal is to add relevant content that actually enhances the Wikipedia entry.
  10. Manage The most important thing is to be an active manager. Every registration needs to be manually approved, preferably with a welcome email telling them how they can use the group, interact with you and how to get in touch with you. Regularly contact members directly with helpful (not sales) information. Scan Linkedin and your other networks for likely members and invite them through InMail or get introductions from members When a user becomes prominent as a poster support them and encourage them. These are the catalyst to a thriving group. Even if somebody is a bit obstreperous, unless they openly attack someone they can be good to stimulate the community. Handle them with care and they can turn into evangelists. Are people continually posting off-topic discussions like jobs? Give them a place to post those and point them to the jobs board in the group. Contact non-linked in members and ask them to join your group (did you know Linkedin requires this in the group agreement?) Linkedin offers a host of useful tools to manage your Linkedin contacts. Export your Linkedin contacts to outlook Engage Remember this is about COMMUNITY not YOU. You should participate by all means, but to support the community not sell yourself or your services. As the group grows think of other ways to connect people. Meetups, teleclasses, webinars and online chat are great options. Periodically take the temperature of the group. Poll or ask questions. Listen to discussions and see if users are looking for added feature, if there are ways you can offer assistance yourself or point them to assistance off site. The goal is to become a source users rely on, not make the whole show about you. In the development stage of the group, or later if discussion slows down, start discussions. These should be open ended posts to stimulate discussion, not statements. Give the users room to add their perspective Brainstorm with your key community members within and outside of the group to get new ideas flowing. Remember to thank people for their participation to the group. Feature people on occasion for their contributions. Share When new features are added to Linkedin, share how to use them with the group, ask for success stories and examples Make connections and suggest connections between users where appropriate Take the time to point out new features on Linkedin and how to use them for best advantage Create a way for users to showcase their talents. Sharing Slideshare presentations, Visual CV’s links to new work if appropriate to the group’s goals Promote Promote your Linkedin group fron linked in itself by sharing it with your Linkedin network and ask users to do the same Post the group URL on your website and related social media sites to encourage growth Create a badge for users to put on their websites linking to the group Talk about the group and feature conversations (with permission) on your other networks (Twitter, Facebook etc) Use both Facebook and Linkedin Ads to promote your group Whenever your do a presentation or attend a conference spread the word about your group
  11. Our mission is to facilitate a strategic approach to the web. This requires some explanation: Facilitate – according to Wikipedia, the term facilitation is broadly used to describe any activity, which makes tasks for others easy. In the context of this document, facilitation refers to all the activities needed to help businesses, of all sorts, build and execute their plans. We are a company of facilitators – we do not build things ourselves but help others. A strategic approach – the best way to describe this is to place strategy within the related contexts of tactical and operational. Clearly there are strong overlaps between strategic, tactical and operational activities – but for this document’s perspective the focus is on those activities that a company engages in to: build their vision of the world; decide what they want to “be” as part of that vision (strategic intent); identify the necessary changes to their business in order to “become” that part of the vision; manage these changes to deliver the strategic intent.   The web – here we refer to the interaction between society (individuals, teams, organisations) and digital space in all its forms (Social media, internet, intranets, extranets, virtual worlds, Software as a Service - SaaS), across all channels.
