It’s about showing up
@uwbuerk @tamccann
Now it’s your turn
@uwbuerk @tamccann
So how do you do it…
• Get an account (duh)
• Pick a few topic areas you care about
• Find key influencers in your space
• Amplify their content (RT)
• Develop a perspective/create/participate
• Actively engage and iterate, authentically
@uwbuerk @tamccann
Social 5:3:2 rule
• Develop a good blend of social connection,
thought leadership and personality
• For every 10 posts;
– 5 about your space or vertical and influencers (RT)
– 3 – perspective - thoughts or place in the vertical
– 2 – personal – people want to know you too
