friends
Every sector has nerds

Every sector has nerds
Is there a common enemy?
Who are the passionate ones?
These will share your content and brand messages. They may not actually bethe people who buy the most, but they’re noisy and have influence over…
The silent web visitor… These will visit your site, convert to leads, but are less likely to share… sometimes members of the press
Not always quite as good as the real thing, but often surprisingly good
Which will give you easy, free PR
• What do we want from social media?• Who are your audience?• What do my audience want?• Who do they trust?– How can we get them to share our content?
• What does that mean for my writing style?– (edgy, chatty, professional, informal?)
• From a brand perspective how do we work it?• Who is empowered to do this?• How do we deal with negative comments?
Style Guide Kick Off
Get the brand guardians, free thinkers and social junkies in on the chatTake AT LEAST half a day to discuss it
• Do implement and train staff on social media policies that strike a balance between allowing limited use of social media and policing its misuse…
• ….CONSISTENCY!
• Any social media policy should warn against posting content which:– Contains illegal material– Breaches regulatory rules or procedures– Contained defamatory material– Breaches equal opportunity policies– Amounts to bullying or harassment– Contains confidential information belonging to the employer or
its clients.
Legal Do’s For Employers
From Paula Squire of Clarke Willmotthttp://www.clarkewillmott.com/our-people/s/paula-squire.php
• Don’t make friends with people you shouldn’t – i.e. management, clients
• Don’t comment about your employer’s products, services or initiatives.
• Don’t moan about your boss/colleagues/customers• Don’t upload dodgy photos• Enjoy your sick leave too much – they will find out• Don’t spill trade secrets or confidential information.
For Employees

Listen to Social Channels
Lots of people could stumble across your conversationsSome people will actively monitor them
Most conversations are public and you can normally turn people around with decent customer service
Amazingly – customers defend brands
• Be prepared for negative feedback– It’s rare, but it’s best to plan
• Our rules:– If it’s valid and fixing it is what you’d normally do, fix it. NOW.
• This might mean buying flowers • You will need to empower your team members
– If it’s incorrect, inaccurate or misleading then engage with the feedback and gently correct the wrong stuff
– If it’s likely to escalate – get it off social onto email
– If it’s abusive – ignore it
Make everyone involved aware and responsible
