Integrating social media into your marketing is not just adding new tactics, it’s a cultural shift.

“People and their voices – the heart and soul of successful social anything – aren’t bought or controlled or predicted. They never have been. They’re earned. And the very act of earning not just the attention but the affinity of those people means you have to risk doing something different in order to do something truly valuable.” -Amber Naslund

Social media can’t be done in isolation, the whole team needs to come along.

“Many B2B marketers still take the traditional method to integrate social media. Like most marketers, they take the route of just adding on another line of business and typically assign a team resource whose time will be spent posting and responding within social media platforms in isolation.” -Jeremy Roberts

Give up being boring. Forever. Being boring will kill you

(unless your audience is boring, re: accountants)

“Companies need to understand that it’s actually permitted to be fun. It’s written nowhere that you have to be boring.”

- Damien Van Achter RTBF social manager

Consider your company culture.

If you’re funny, be funny in your social media posts. If you’re analytical, be analytical.

Social Media rewards those who respond and react fast to what’s going on in the world.

Tip: Reserve some marketing budget for last minute campaigns based on trends or current events. Being the first to spot or give commentary (even if just in your industry) on something that’s popular at the moment gives you an edge.

When everyone is talking about something that relates to your business…

It’s time to jump into the conversation,

giving your own unique take on

the topic

Make sure to have Google Alerts, Mention.com or tools to track and spot trends and opportunities

During the Superbowl blackout, Oreo tweeted an ad that related to it

Being the first company in your industry to comment on things that

affect or impact your niche gives you an advantage in search results and

establishes you as a leader.

Utah small business, Pluralsight, markets to geeks, and computer programmers. They took a trend in mainstream society and made it their own by creating a video with their authors lipsyncing to the pop hit song: Call Me Maybe. They are not polished or slick, they are in true geek form.

Hire a good graphics/image/designer Always important, now even more important. Facebook emphasizes images more in the new newsfeed. Bloggers stand to gain so much traffic from Pinterest and are creating pinnable images for everything they do.

BAD EXAMPLE

Page 16: Cultural Shift in Marketing - Pubcon NOLA 2013 Presentation

@Matt_Siltala

Develop a human voice, talk in your customer’s voice, not corporate voice. Your look and language shouldn’t be corporate, staged or forced. It should be friendly, funny, clever, and relevant.

Visa small business ad posted on Facebook and promoted. Most of the 62 comments on this post called Visa spammers, several were negative. This image is corporate and fake feeling.
