4. Our View on Progress Made
Interest and enthusiasm has grown rapidly
Channels are being set up
But lack of strategic planning leads to
problems down the line - resourcing,
content, customers, performance
measurement, business impact and ROI
A broadcast mentality prevails…….

5. Is there something fundamentally
wrong with our approach to Social
Media in Scotland?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
6. Something Wrong…..
Are we using social media as just another PR/marketing
channel for broadcasting messages AT customers telling
them how good we are?
Is anyone listening
anymore?
Have the rules of business
changed?

7. Be Social
New ‘mindsets’ are
required to be successful in
social media
‘BE SOCIAL BEFORE
DOING SOCIAL’
ENERGISE2-0.COM
8. Be ‘Customer Led’
Talking WITH rather than
AT your customers is the
core foundation of a
successful social media
strategy
The basis of a good
conversation is
to listen first

9. The Five Key Things to
Remember about Social Media
ENERGISE2-0.COM
10. 1. It’s a Revolution
A fundamental and revolutionary change
in online behaviour, expectations and
the online customer experience.
The end of the ‘read only’ Internet
Content generated by the network for
the network
We are no longer passive consumers of
content/brand messages
ENERGISE2-0.COM
11. 2. It’s Social
Marketing as a
conversation;
two-way dialogue
Conversations are already
taking place on the cloud
relevant to your business –
are you listening?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
12. 3. Power Shift
Social media empowers
customers, empowers the
network
We no longer control the brand
The brand becomes the customer
experience of the brand –
experiences that are widely
shared online
ENERGISE2-0.COM
14. 4. Declining Effectiveness
Declining effectiveness of traditional
approaches to sales and marketing
Does anyone listen any more?
We are no longer passive sheep
waiting to be ‘driven’ to your web site
If you treat us like sheep, we will tell you
to ‘flock off’.

15. 5. The End of Business as Usual
New ‘mindsets’, new business
approaches and new performance
measures are required
NOT a broadcast medium. Its
about listening to and engaging
with customers, partners, your
community, your tribe
This is something we are not very
good at doing. We prefer telling
people how good we are
ENERGISE2-0.COM
16. The End of Business as Usual
‘Winners’ will be those organisations who fully utilise
the interactive power of Web 2.0 technology for
engaging with and energising customer and
network relationships

20. Why Listen?
Social Media is a
conversation
not a broadcast
platform
Conversations are taking
place relevant to your
brand – are you listening?
