WHAT HAS DRIVEN OUR SUCCESS?
Understanding the possibilities of
digital and social media early on
Investing enough time, money and
resources
Open-minded experimentation
Hot topic on a global scale
Interesting content on an active cycle
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY INTERESTING CONTENT?
Interesting = concerns more people
than just you or your company
Dialogue rather than monologue
Engagement rather than publishing
Impact first, depth second
TAKE HOME
Build an online ecosystem – not just
individual channels
Focus on what you want to achieve –
not what you need to publish
Invest in proper resources
Content is key – and you don’t need
to produce it all yourself
KIITOS. TACK. THANK YOU.
