     a Social Media Crisis

3 Characteristics of a
Social Media Crisis:

Information Asymmetry
Decisive Change From the Norm
Material Business Impact
1
Acknowledge
First response from company should be “we know”
Slows the flood of “hey company, did you know?”
messages.
Do this immediately, even if you have little
additional information at the time.
2
Fight Social Media Fire
With Social Media Water
Respond first wherever the crisis broke
Then respond in all other venues
It’s imperative that you have established social
presences on all outposts, even if you don’t
routinely use them.
Are you ready for a Pinterest crisis? (it could
happen)
Do you have a list of all blogs and blog authors that
cover your category?
11,000 Facebook Shares Should Not Trigger YouTube Video
Can you get an apology video from your CEO online in 4 hours?
3
Be Sorry
Mike Tyson
Michael Jordan   Fastest Way to Be
Bill Clinton     Forgiven is to be
Richard Nixon
                 Truly Sorry.
Tylenol
Exxon
Tiger Woods
Lindsay Lohan
This isn’t a big call, this is a history
call. And I kicked the !&%$ out of it.
There’s nobody that feels worse
than I do. I take pride in this job
and I kicked the !&%$ out of that
call and I took a perfect game
away from that kid over there.
4
Create a Crisis FAQ
Much easier to
direct people to an
updated crisis FAQ,
then to answer
every question via
Twitter, Facebook,
blog comment, and
beyond.
Acknowledgement of issue
Details about occurrence
Photos or videos, if available
How the company found out
Who was alerted, and how
Specific actions taken
Real or potential effects
Steps taken to prevent future occurrence
Contact information for real people at the company
Enable Subscription to Your Crisis FAQ
  Email
  RSS
  SMS




     “                         ”
5
Build a Pressure Relief
         Valve
People want to vent
The BEST case scenario is that they do so on a
venue you manage and control
It is imperative that you proactively open a
channel for dialog (even negative)
If you do not, other venues that you do not control
will serve that role
Also keeps most conversations in a single place –
easier to track
Early warning detection for new crisis dimensions
Gives customers a place to come to your defense
(sometimes)
6
Know When to Take it
      Offline
It’s not about winning, it’s about damage control
Keyboard embolden us all
There are no victors in online tit for tats
Encourage vehement critics to contact you via
email or phone
Gives them an option
You’re see as extending that option
Rule of 3: Never send a third reply. At that point,
take it offline
7
Arm Your Army
The “official” channel is irrelevant
Your employees’ occupation is listed on their social
profiles
Call centers are for suckers, people will reach out
to any/all employees for answers
You must have a mechanism for keeping all
employees informed during a crisis
Email?
SMS?
Internal, private blog?
Yammer (or similar)?
For Kashi crisis info, will customers wait for “official”
response, or contact one of the 5,985 employees on
Linkedin?
8
Learn Your Lessons
Document every element of the crisis
Make copies of all tweets, status updates, YouTube
comments, blog comments, etc.
Make copies of all emails
Analyze website traffic patterns
Analyze search data
Which venue came first, and when?
How did internal notification work?
How did response work?
Did specific customers rise to your defense? (thank
them)
Were your employees informed?
How did the online impact interact with offline
coverage?
Case Study
Saturday afternoon email snafu, sending 10+
emails to each customer
Community manager noticed spike in Twitter
mentions
Contacted supervisor at home, and internal email
team
Initially, answered with “yes, we know”
Saturday customer support staffing was light,
creating long hold times and email response times
Cause determined
Company-wide email sent to all employees
Home page apology from CEO
   Opened comments
   87 comments left, many positive
12 team members involved in crisis response, on a
Saturday
Within 6 hours, ship righted
The Takeaway: Don’t Be Scared

             Be Prepared

  • 8.
  • 9.
  • 11. First response from company should be “we know” Slows the flood of “hey company, did you know?” messages. Do this immediately, even if you have little additional information at the time.
  • 12. 2 Fight Social Media Fire With Social Media Water
  • 13. Respond first wherever the crisis broke Then respond in all other venues It’s imperative that you have established social presences on all outposts, even if you don’t routinely use them. Are you ready for a Pinterest crisis? (it could happen) Do you have a list of all blogs and blog authors that cover your category?
  • 14. 11,000 Facebook Shares Should Not Trigger YouTube Video
  • 15. Can you get an apology video from your CEO online in 4 hours?
  • 17. Mike Tyson Michael Jordan Fastest Way to Be Bill Clinton Forgiven is to be Richard Nixon Truly Sorry. Tylenol Exxon Tiger Woods Lindsay Lohan
  • 18. This isn’t a big call, this is a history call. And I kicked the !&%$ out of it. There’s nobody that feels worse than I do. I take pride in this job and I kicked the !&%$ out of that call and I took a perfect game away from that kid over there.
  • 20. Much easier to direct people to an updated crisis FAQ, then to answer every question via Twitter, Facebook, blog comment, and beyond.
  • 21. Acknowledgement of issue Details about occurrence Photos or videos, if available How the company found out Who was alerted, and how Specific actions taken Real or potential effects Steps taken to prevent future occurrence Contact information for real people at the company

  • 24. People want to vent The BEST case scenario is that they do so on a venue you manage and control It is imperative that you proactively open a channel for dialog (even negative) If you do not, other venues that you do not control will serve that role Also keeps most conversations in a single place – easier to track Early warning detection for new crisis dimensions Gives customers a place to come to your defense (sometimes)
  • 25.
  • 26. 6 Know When to Take it Offline
  • 27. It’s not about winning, it’s about damage control Keyboard embolden us all There are no victors in online tit for tats Encourage vehement critics to contact you via email or phone Gives them an option You’re see as extending that option Rule of 3: Never send a third reply. At that point, take it offline
  • 29. The “official” channel is irrelevant Your employees’ occupation is listed on their social profiles Call centers are for suckers, people will reach out to any/all employees for answers You must have a mechanism for keeping all employees informed during a crisis Email? SMS? Internal, private blog? Yammer (or similar)?
  • 30. For Kashi crisis info, will customers wait for “official” response, or contact one of the 5,985 employees on Linkedin?
  • 32. Document every element of the crisis Make copies of all tweets, status updates, YouTube comments, blog comments, etc. Make copies of all emails Analyze website traffic patterns Analyze search data Which venue came first, and when?
  • 33. How did internal notification work? How did response work? Did specific customers rise to your defense? (thank them) Were your employees informed? How did the online impact interact with offline coverage?
  • 35. Saturday afternoon email snafu, sending 10+ emails to each customer Community manager noticed spike in Twitter mentions Contacted supervisor at home, and internal email team Initially, answered with “yes, we know” Saturday customer support staffing was light, creating long hold times and email response times
  • 36. Cause determined Company-wide email sent to all employees Home page apology from CEO Opened comments 87 comments left, many positive 12 team members involved in crisis response, on a Saturday Within 6 hours, ship righted
  • 37. The Takeaway: Don’t Be Scared Be Prepared
