Share observations on five areas to explore when you get asked how

social can play a bigger role.

Number One: Change the mentality

Strive for the campaign concept

•  Collaboration on the creative brief and on the budget

http://www.flickr.com/photos/donsolo/2195033648/sizes/l/in/photostream/

Number Two: Get tight on the intent

Think about the strategic intent and how you roll out the plan

Justin Timberlake

“Yet  the  master  stroke,  music  and  marke3ng  execu3ves  say,  was  the  personal  touch  that  Mr.  Timberlake  brought  to  every  aspect  of  the  campaign,  giving  his  fans  the  impression  of  direct  contact  and  feeding  them  a  steady  stream  of  topics  to  amplify  through  social  media.”

Leap Motion

"We  wanted  to  wait  for  the  right  opportunity  to  show  it  to  people,"  Chief  Execu+ve  Michael  Buckwald  said  in  an  interview.  "We  did  private  demos  at  CES,  but  this  is  a  much  beFer  venue  for  us  because  we  really  like  the  idea  of  Leap  not  just  as  a  product  but  as  a  movement."

Number Three: Think about a portfolio

approach

View your social channels as a network

•  Define the role and intent of the channels •  Clarify how and when they work together •  These inputs AND the campaign concept

help prioritize resources, timing and the implementation plan

Number Four: Social media ≠ free media

<16%

<16% There is very limited reach on Facebook without paid media.

3 hours

3 hours The half-life of a Tweet.

100 hours

100 hours Amount of content uploaded every minute on YouTube.

Number Five: Bringing the plan to life

Meet your new BFF’s

•  Legal •  Customer service •  IT and security •  Measurement & analytics •  Executive sponsors

Getting real about the real, real time marketing

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharynmorrow/1936214259/sizes/l/in/photostream/

There is no absolute right way, but these five areas are a good place to start

1.  Change the mentality 2.  Strategic intent: driver/amplifier and

integration/orchestration 3.  Think about a portfolio approach to your

network 4.  A holistic media plan (social is not free) 5.  Bringing the plan to life: operations
