Case Studies: Using social media to reach a large audience

Rethinking how we use social media

The Problem: Jill Anzarut, a young mom of 2, needs a life-saving drug called Herceptin to

significantly lower the chance of recurrence for her type of breast cancer.

Rethinking how we use social media

The Action Plan: Reach out and assemble our online community to generate enough noise to

pressure the Health Minister of Ontario, Deb Matthews, to revisit the policy

and make changes based on proof from the most recent research.

Rethinking how we use social media

The Outcome: Ontario government decides to provide breast cancer patients with tumours

less than or equal to 1 cm access to the revolutionary drug Herceptin under

the new Evidence Building Program (EBP).

How do I manage all this?

Set up an editorial calendar!

Use excel to track all upcoming campaigns and how you are going

to promote them.

Include a column for:

Date, Campaign, Article author (who’s going to write it?), Type of article

(Blog, Tweet, Facebook Post, Eblast etc), Publication Date and Notes

You’ve got ideas and a schedule…

Now manage it!

Tips to take the stress out of managing numerous communities:

Link your accounts

Use Google Analytics

Try an app (North Social, Wildfire, Bitly, Tweet Deck, Tweet Stats etc)

To Recap…

Strong Brand = Strong Audience

Start building your whuffie

Rethink how you use social media

Create NEW platforms & properties for social media opportunities

Manage it

We think differently

Questions?

Brainstorm time…

Take a moment to jot-down a couple of campaigns that your

organization runs throughout the year.

Now, how can you creatively use those campaigns to push through

social media sites to raise awareness?

Come up with 2-3 ideas of how you can use Facebook, Twitter,

YouTube and your blog to promote the initiatives.
