THOUGHTS ON TAKING FORWARD SOCIAL MEDIA USE

scope: social & mediatentative views in an evolving universe

INTRODUCTION

big and more than chatting away

much more to get from if done professionally

BACKGROUND

SOCIAL IS...

(and these are only the usual suspects)

BEWARE OF:

but, think streamsand sharingand devices

and new formats: video supercuts,140-character statements, 1-page blog posts, second screen,snapchats, 6-second videos, etc. etc.

content productioncontent distribution

WHAT IS SOCIAL USED FOR?

branding (of magazines, media & people)

(and how do we differentiate for that?)

branding (for advertisers)

HOW DO WE VALUE THE USE OF SOCIAL

49%

36%

15%

we haven’t been ableto show the impact yet

we have proventhe impact quantitatively

we have a good qualitative sense of the impact, but not of the quantitative impact

the impact of social media on the business in the US

SOCIAL & CONTENT PRODUCTION

SOCIAL & CONTENT PRODUCTION

search + algorithm + journalistautomated Twitter track: RT Reporteroptimize texts: Visual Revenue

social first, then SEO

SOCIAL & CONTENT DISTRIBUTION

velocity graph: predicts popularitydetermines home page, with some human curation

distinguish: like to read vs like to share

SOCIAL & YOUR BRANDING

magazine and online brands in the social spacepersons (editors) can even be bigger

become more social yourselfassociated bloggers (‘influencers’) too

SOCIAL & YOUR BRANDING

social requires listeningno longer fully in control

COMMUNITIES

1% freaks, set the tone but have limited connection

hardly monetisable

can be triggered

9% active users

monetisable reach

90% passive users

forum is where peoplediscuss your themes

SOCIAL & YOUR CUSTOMERS’ ADVERTISING

forums again - as extension of brands

‘knowledge partners’ can drive questions: dialogue

FORUMS

key: honesty, authenticity and opennessmanaging for relevancenext step: test panels (quantitative)

underestimated type of market research?

SOCIAL & YOUR CUSTOMERS’ ADVERTISINGBLOGS

focused, special interest reachmajor advertisers have overcome their reluctance

blogs & magazines & online publishing: mutually beneficial

PROFESSIONALISE

produce for social, even before search (SEO)

LET THERE BE (MORE) BLOGS

blog ‘evolution’+ forums + other social

DIFFERENTIATE DEVICES (PLATFORMS)

many people start on one device, finish on anothera ‘portable experience’ is keyresponsive design
