Question #1
Why Social?
![Page 8: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Canadians spend more time online than any othercountry in the world.

68% of online Canadians used social media in 2010.
![Page 10: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The number of Canadians using social media grew by 13% last year and is still climbing.
Social Media
Blogs
![Page 11: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And it’s not just the young ‘uns.
![Page 12: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So why social?
Because your audience is there.
And they are spending more time there than ever before.
And social media is one of the few mediums left where it is free to participate in most channels.
So what are we waiting for!?

Learning to create content online that your followers value and want to share

Question #3
How do we make something go viral?
![Page 39: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
We don’t.
![Page 40: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Unless you enjoy putting all your money on thelong shot to win
![Page 41: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
It’s much safer to create content and experiences that people enjoy and want to share.
![Page 42: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
But what does it mean to share something?
![Page 43: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The jury is still out on whether the amount of face to face interactions is holding steady or declining.

What we do know is that there is a significant increase in online social interactions

Seen as a percentage of online transactions, the face to face interactions are indeed shrinking.
![Page 46: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
In a world dominated
by digital interactions,
defines us.
what we share online
![Page 47: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Have you ever really, really enjoyed something?
Something LOL funny
but something stopped you from sharing it with your friends?
Most of us have had this experience.
![Page 48: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
We choose what we share more carefully than we may think.
![Page 49: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Here are some I didn’t share with certain friends.
![Page 50: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Which is why what we share has to say something positive about us – that we belong to the same social group and like the same things as our peers.
![Page 51: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
What does the content you produce say about the person who shares it??
![Page 52: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Question #4
What can I do if I have no budget to speak of?

Question #5
My question(s) to each of you...
![Page 60: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Put yourself in the shoes of a hypothetical “friend of a friend” of the organization.
Someone who doesn’t know you.
And then visit all of your properties online.
![Page 61: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Use soft eyes. As if you were seeing a new work.
![Page 62: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Which spaces were you easily able to find?
How many are there to find?
Does what you saw capture the scope of the work you do?
Does it portray the quality and passion of the work you do?
![Page 63: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
How would you best display the scope, quality and passion that drives your organization online?
It’s a trick question in written form.
Try sketching the answer.
![Page 64: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Whether as a mood board of your online presence
![Page 65: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
or a chart of all your online activities...
![Page 66: Rethinking Digital and Social Marketing for the Arts](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051608/544781ebafaf9f61178b4a48/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
What is the spine of your work and your
organization?
