                                                   @ramseym
What is Social Media?
• Tools for sharing and discussing information.
• SM vs. Social Networking?
        = communities w/like interests to connect




                                                    email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                                 @ramseym
Social Media isn’t replacing anything.
• SM is in the spectrum of communication.




                                    email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                 @ramseym
The new influencers.
• Expansion from traditional media.
• The rise of the individual.
• Trust 2.0, peers not institutions.




                                       email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                    @ramseym
Proliferation of influencer channels.
• We trust a stranger over any paid-for
  communications or advertising.
• Blogs are a form of trusted opinion, over
  magazines and newspapers.




                                      email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                   @ramseym
Demand for transparency.




                           email@ramseymohsen.com
                                        @ramseym
Social media, more than just a fad.




                            email@ramseymohsen.com
                                         @ramseym

                                        email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                     @ramseym
…more than just a marketing tool.
• “Chatter Factor”
  – online vs. offline translation




                                     email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                  @ramseym
Your website isn’t good enough.
• = 1 component of a larger web strategy
        – Channels/Gateways to homebase

• Trust factor and credibility
• SEO positioning
• SM starts conversations & relationships




                                          email@ramseymohsen.com
                                                       @ramseym
