What Happens when Your Entire Company becomes Social?
WHEN: NOVEMBER 8, 2012 @ 3:30PM
SPEAKER: MARCUS NELSON
In the not too distant future, Community Management will no longer be the task of one single department. Like the Web Masters of a decade ago, these roles will be dispersed among every business unit in your company. How will this effect organizations? What tools will you need to accommodate these changes

19. You Have An Incentivized Workforce
Workers want to talk about their
company, only...
1. They don't know what to say.
2. They're afraid to say the wrong
thing.
So, they do nothing.
@marcusnelson #SMSSummit 19
20. Employees want to post of social
but often they don’t know what to
say, or they don't want to sound
dumb. So they say nothing.

What’s out of bounds?
Who to escalate things to?
Every Employee is responsible for reading and adhering to the rules.

@marcusnelson #SMSSummit 43
45. My Problems
My team of 5 managed 150+ social media properties for 13 brands:
• Who represented us on social media?
• Which teams owned what?
• Who has passwords to what channels?
• What content was doing well and where?
• Where to get approvals & signoff?
@marcusnelson #SMSSummit 45
46. Current Tools
• Focused on small teams or networks.
• Active listening metrics & analysis of external engagement.
• Lack control or visibility of messaging past brand channels.
• Missing the ROI of social media marketing efforts.
• Don’t scale in pricing past small teams at large companies.
@marcusnelson #SMSSummit 46
47. I Had To Make It Better
• Would employees represent their brand if given the chance?
• Could I make it seamless for employees to be empowered?
• Was there a way to analyze results to reveal ROI to management?
• Could brands learn from content to boost future performance?
• Should access be entwined with existing enterprise systems?
