Social Media
The most efficient method to access media
Hundreds of millions of users: all interests represented (not just pop culture)
number of users continues to grow
More than marketing: Generating interactions with users
Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter
AACC’s Social Media Plan
The strategic plan provides a framework to reach the desired end states of:
•A vibrant, recognized, successful and knowledgeable membership •A respected association that meets the needs of its members •An informed patient population that receives high-quality lab services
AACC’s Social Media Plan
AACC’s Social Media Plan
Social media can help address the first desired end state by offering space to help develop a vibrant communityas well as offer compelling content to pull that community back to AACC’s website to help meet their information needs.
Social media can potentially address at least 2 of AACC’s Priority Strategic Initiatives:
•Attract more people to AACC. •Provide leadership in the global community of laboratory professionals.

Distribution Metrics July 2011-July 2012
Establishing a network of scientists by following them
Access to valuable opinions of scientists
Alerts these scientists of feed’s existence, encourages a follow back
Scientists on Twitter become a source of content when all other resources have been exhausted
Many authors and contributors are on Twitter
I bet you’re all wondering, what sorts of answers did I get for the questions I tweeted above? How many people inundated me with answers, echoing out across the Twitterverse? Well, I’ll tell you:
Zero.
