Hello and Thank you for inviting us to present our response to Frank’s un-RFP. Find out who’s on the call, and their role in the MMS.
When superimpose these two images together, you get an idea of how your focus might jive with what social media is good for. You can also see how it’s all going to have to work together for you to achieve the more inspired benefits of social media.
Our approach always starts with listening. In the short-term, this is how you’re finding your champions and stakeholders who are already online. Looking ahead, a strong social media monitoring program will be really important, especially for brand and reputation management. You can see from this slide that every part of our approach is informed by listening. So then, the strategy development becomes essential. You guys already know a lot about your stakeholders from the social technographics research you’ve done. You also know from experimentation what’s worked and what hasn’t. We’ll lay it all out and see where we stand and where we want to go from here. Then, everything else is based on that strategy. We generally launch something, feed and nurture it to see if it will take root on its own, evaluate how it’s going, then tweak the strategy according to what we’ve learned. From the slide, it looks like you can do all of this in a week – but it takes time. You could make it around the circle in 6 months, or it could take a year or more. It’s a journey.
We won’t spend a lot of time on this slide, but it begins to show how multi-faceted this process can be. There’s a lot to consider, and your content strategy needs to be flexible enough to feed any and all of these different facets of the social web. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that you guys have everything you need for all of this already, it’s just a matter of a few tweaks here and there.
Another part of your un-RFP had to do with integrating traditional media with social media. You definitely want it all to go together. I hope you like metaphors… We see traditional media as the rock, the land, solid and important, but not fluid. Digital media, on the other hand, flows like water. And that flow will, overtime, shape the rock. Finally, social media is the clouds, picking up the water and carrying it wherever they go until they let it fall as rain.
