Its already 2011, the fifth year of the social media revolution and while there is so much new to talk about that’s new, when talking about the context of communications there are a lot of constants that remain the same.
Getting the right content to the right people at the right times on the right platforms. This is just common sense and best practice. But social media like any disruptive platform has forced marketers to rethink their media mix and as they do some have forgotten these best practices.

7. Social Media Marketing can be successful but often
campaigns aren’t optimally executed because they’re:
Treated as one-off campaigns
Not aligned to comms goals and ROI is questionable
Not integrated into ‘regular’ workflows
Decision hierarchy murky
Infrastructure not built to support or amplify campaigns
Audience media habits aren’t understood
Result is……ZOMBIE SOCIALMEDIA….
campaigns that are the living dead

SLAYS THE ZOMBIES
Builds the process to connect with stakeholders at the
right time, with the right content on the right channels
Creates a framework & infrastructure to manage social
media that is sustainable
Integrates into the BIGGER communications workflow
Allows companies to resource appropriately and do
more with less
Can help show steady and measurable results from
social
Result is……A ZOMBIE KILLING SOCIAL
MEDIA ENGINE….that runs smoothly and efficiently
13. Pepsi has diverted as much as one-third of its marketing budget to Refresh
14. "Society is moving fast, and we have to move faster. We as
organizations have to move from impressions to
connections," said B. Bonin Bough, global director of digital
and social media at PepsiCo.
And, he said, referring to Pepsi Refresh, the much-
ballyhooed program that awards grants for civic and social
programs, "As an organization, when we announced it,
everybody at this town hall hugged each other, loved each
other. ... Everyone from the CEO down was laser-focused
on getting the thing right,“
He added that Pepsi Refresh is now going global and that it
will be back in the U.S. in 2011. So far 46 million votes have
been cast for projects to donate money to.
