Social Media is changing the game
David Zaruk PhD - Risk Perception Management bvba - Groenstraat 17, 1930 Zaventem, Belgium - david.zaruk@riskperception.eu
Trust is in the hands of my network
Trust in authorities and business at an all time low We trust our friends, our social circles Social media is tightening (narrowing) our silos We surround ourselves with like-minded “friends” Confirmation bias (facts don’t matter) Works as an emotional support system (share,
favourite, like, curate, pin …) We need a dark force to act against. Industry?

Social Media Trends
Focus is on me, my friends Silos reduce dialogue Anti-lobbying (highlighting COIs) Anti-business (denormalisation) Viral campaigns reach light speed Pro-nature (against synthetics, processing, GMOs) I want to feel good about myself (blame others)
This leads to a serious challenge for the food industry

How do we deal with this?
Do nothing? Reinterpret the data? Put more resources into
social media? Blame the governments? Lobby smarter? Rebuild trust? Voluntary initiatives? Stress the positives? Respond with science/facts? Ridicule the activists?

Or do we
bully them
?
