Agenda
Some may say that social media isn’t a conversation at all, but rather a form of publication. It is a
way for anyone to publish anything from anywhere on the Internet. While publication is an impor-
tant part of social media, more so, social media itself thrives not on the act of publication, but rath-
er on sharing and conversing about that publication, whether it be an article, photo, video, funny
comic, political opinion, or anything that one may share while perusing the world wide web.
It is as if social media is a worldwide virtual coffee lounge, open 24 hours a day. Some
folks pop their head in for a few minutes and just people watch. Others may converse for
hours on end. You can listen in on other people talk. (It’s probably more accurate to say
you can look on to what other other people typed.) Or, drop in on a conversation you
may find fascinating.
But in order to have that social media conversation, you need to know to speak the language,
i.e. how to use social media. The best way to learn is to just do it and learn from others who do it.
Observe and pay attention to how others are using the medium, then start contributing to the con-
versation. Like in a coffee shop, you can people watch first, then jump in when you feel comfortable.
Learn not to talk at the screen but through it, to the real people at the end of your virtual network

His story is simple: “I spent my last £500 on this billboard. Please give me a job.” Simple stories often sell best.Makes The Website Address Easy To Read: Since Adam used all CAPS, EMPLOYADAM.COM could be difficult to read/understand. The solution, make EMPLOY in white and ADAM in yellow. Problem solved.

Note that he didn’t use a fancy studio photo that made him look like an ac-tor or the ‘perfect employee.’ He used a photo that looks real. Trans-parency sells. It makes him empathetic and approachable. It also makes him relateable, which makes it easier for others to share his mes-sage.Makes The Website Address Easy To Read: Since Adam used all CAPS, EMPLOYADAM.COM could be difficult to read/understand.

Makes it easy and simple for the press: Adam wants the power of the press, the news cycles. And he also realizes that reporters are b-u-s-y people… with deadlines. So he makes it SIMPLE and EASY for them to get the word out about him.

Strategy: Exercise
Channel fours 4oD
Viewership is low on a Sunday
Wants to start a social media campaign to increase viewership. Can use all forms of social media.
Strategy: ExerciseWe designed a Twitter campaign that made one-to-one viewing recommendations in re-
sponse to individuals’ requests. Over four Sundays the campaign increased Sunday 4oD
viewing by 30% – well beyond Channel 4’s target. The Twitter campaign was backed up
by TV ads and online media, and helped to deliver greater awareness of 4oD among
an expanded audience of 330,000.
We embedded a team on Twitter every Sunday afternoon, encouraging people
to tell Channel 4 about their their age and their mood, uniting the conversation
through the #4oDSundays hashtag. The NixonMcInnes team would then tweet
back with a personal recommendation from the 4oD library, selected from a mix
of current favourites and classic content. Recommendations also included catch-
ing up with missed episodes, meeting one of the campaign objectives to dem-
onstrate video-on-demand as a way to strengthen loyalty among viewers more
used to watching a series through conventional means.

New Technologies: Predicted Trends for 2013
Everything will be digital:
In 2012 Nestle released chocolate
bars that were GPS enabled, the CW
network in the USA had a live Twitter
feed in a magazine, coat hangers dis-
played Facebook likes, we added an
Augmented Reality layer to pint bottles
of Bulmers and there was even NFC en-
abled socks! Why are non-digital prod-
ucts becoming ‘connected’? Because
they can deliver better experiences for
the consumer and expect to see more
of it in 2013.
Social is Mobile:
With half of all users accessing their Fa-
cebook profiles via a mobile can you
afford to ignore this audience? Check
out Google Analytics to see what per-
centage of your web traffic is coming
from mobile or a tablet. If they cannot
get the information they want when they
want it they can easily go to a mobile
optimised competitor.
New Technologies: Predicted Trends for 2013
Don’t rely on Facebook:
Facebook dominates social media but
2013 will see the savvy brands, who
haven’t already done so, move onto
other networks and beef up their pres-
ence there. Facebook is becoming
very cluttered and brands now have
to invest in paid for media to reach
their fanbase through Promoted Posts
or Sponsored Stories. This last year has
seen steady growth in the numbers us-
ing Google +, LinkedIn, Instagram and
Pinterest.
Content will improve:
Content comes in many forms from
Facebook updates to blog articles,
photos, website copy and video clips.
Content marketing is about telling a
story your target audience will get
value from. Next year more budget will
move from traditional above the line
advertising into creating the kind of
content your customers will share with
their friends.
