“(In hindsight,) I’d have dealt with the emerging community debate by the social media a little bit more intensely, a little bit earlier. We probably didn’t recognize the power of the social media to create an issue,” Lynas Corp CEO Nicholas Curtis, June 29, 2012

Force 2: Media fragmentation
Opinion forming elite• One-way, one-to-many• Sole or few sources
dictating schedules and headlines from top-down.
• Very little engagement or feedback encouraged and even these are edited.
Here it is, you decide• Many-to-many• Bloggers, tweeters,
podcasters, aggregators, producers, commenters post in near real-time
• Many sources engage in the conversation from grassroots-level.
Mass media >>> Masses of niche media

Tomorrow’s customers are
today’s “digital natives.”
51
The old communication model was a
monologue.
52
The new communication model
is a dialogue.
53
Can we ignore social media?
54
There will be consequences…
55
1. You won't know what people are saying about you
The conversation is taking place anyway. You can choose to participate or you can ignore it, but people are talking -- even when you're not listening.
56
2. You won't know what's going on in your marketplace
Listening in to conversations on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere is like having a free focus group going 24/7.
If you listen to your market, you'll be able to anticipate customer needs, make better products, improve services and hear what's wrong with what you are currently delivering.
57
3. No one knows the real you• Someone may already be squatting on your brand and
spewing false corporate messages• If you don't secure your brand accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, no one will know if it's real or fake. Get out there with your own voice and establish a
reputation for authenticity and truth - it's a lot harder for someone else to hijack your brand.
58
4. When you need a voice, you won't have any credibility
• Typically, organizations only think of a blog or a Twitter account, after a crisis hits.
• Whether you're talking online or off, it takes months – even years – to establish trust in a relationship.
• You need to start the conversation in order to start making deposits in the bank of trust. Then when you need it, the credibility will be there.
59
5. You're giving away a competitive advantage
• Whether you are listening or not, chances are your competition is monitoring what your stakeholders are saying about you.
• They may get the feedback you don’t and be able to bring a new product to market faster, and meet the needs of the marketplace better than you can.

4-step social media guidanceStep 1: ListenWhat are people
saying about your brand online?
Who’s saying what?
Who comments and responds?
What they say and how they say it.
61
Make friends – one at a time
Participate in conversations and find your voice
Observe comments and reactions, if any
Do not dominate the conversations!
Step 2: Connect
62

63
Step 3: Add value
Find unique and genuine ways to reach out to help.
Bring authority and credibility to the conversation.
Do not flood streams with marketing messages!
64
Step 4: MeasureTrack pageviews, unique
visitors, downloads, embeds, subscribers, followers, fans
Cost savings, sales and call-to-actions
Weigh sentiment, positive vs negative comments, issues resolved, feedback received
65
66
“Fish where the fish are!”
Users are spend more time in social networks rather than portals or destination sites.
Reach more people: Introduce new users to your services or products through conversation
Spread your message and agenda: Embed on blogs, social networks, video sites pro-actively
Why use social media?
67
• What are our objectives?• What resources can we dedicate in terms of people, tech, etc?
• Do we need to engage outside experts?
• How do we map out a strategy that is in line with our current goals?
• What targets and KPIs should we have in place?
