    Introduction

    We are in an era where all business is social. Even the most staid institutions and regulated

    businesses are being pulled into the social sphere by their customers, clients and patients. Upuntil now, social media marketing has seemed complex. The management of social business and

    marketing integration has been scattered - too time consuming or seemingly difficult to scale for the

    average business to consider.

    Enter the socially connected business. By embedding social into every part of your business and

    marketing practice, being a social business becomes much easier to manage and scale. This has a

    direct positive impact on your bottom line, shareholder and customer happiness, customer service

    capabilities, lead generation, analytics across departments and the internet, product development,

    and much more.

    Imagine a business where the interaction between your departments, your customers, your potential

    customers, your suppliers and your shareholders was seamless and fluid, with no barriers to

    success. If you understand these six principlesof social media marketing, you can be on your way

    to becoming a social business.

    Chapter 1 /Social Listening

    The importance of present and active social listening can not beoverstated. Listening is one of the primary principles of socialbusiness and great social media marketing - it brings the world toyour doorstep, allowing you to respond and take action in an agileway that hasnt been done before. Listening lends an unprecedentedagility and reach to businesses that fosters the kind of dialogueneeded to create a feeling of loyalty and trust.

    This loyalty and trust is the very foundation of your social business culture. Its the mystery ingredient

    that keeps customers coming back to companies like Apple, Inc., that allows Citi to respond to

    potentially sticky situations in a way that is fluid and transparent, and allows companies like Ford

    Motor Company to have a brilliant success story in an economy where other automotive companies

    still struggle.

    Scott Monty discussing Fords social business model at Dreamforce 12

    In fact, this social business culture has at its core the ability not just to listen, but to listen in away that allows you to take action on the intel that you gather and to use the data that pours in. The

    data is useful not just for your direct advantage, but also for your employees and your customers

    advantage as well. Having the kind of culture that actively listens and understands the customers,

    potential customers and shareholders who are also listening means you can cast a wider net and

    achieve the kind of buoyant success in business and marketing that feeds itself.

    Social listening has a variety of potential uses. Broad

    social listening works to help you stop a crisis, often

    before it has a chance to escalate. It helps you find

    new customers, see what your competition is doing,compete better, find new markets and save money

    and time on product development and market

    research. By learning to read and make use of the

    data flow that listening brings in, you create a path

    to a better social business experience for you and

    for your customers.

    Social, for Kimberly-Clark, is just amazing, explains Mike McCranie, Global Director,

    Information Technology. With a social network, we can have teams working in Buenos Aires,

    Argentina collaborate with teams in Sydney, Australia; Bangkok, Thailand with Dallas, Texas.

    Social makes this huge world we live in much, much smaller.

    Kimberly-Clark is using an embedded social ecosystem to bring social business concepts and

    practices to its team internally, then roll those successes out into enhanced social benefits for

    its customer base. By bringing the internal social concepts outside the company, Kimberly-

    Clark is able to track what people are saying to and about their brand (at over 30,000 mentions

    a monthon Twitter alone, there is plenty of useful data coming in). In addition to social listening

    and engagement outside its walls, the brand uses the data to create reports that are useful for

    its R&D department.

    With social listening ...we can stay on top of what people are saying about Adaptu.com as a

    brand with real time alerts, giving us a competitive advantage on helping us assist our users as

    well as engaging with current and potential users by talking about financial matters that relate to

    them by directing them to Adaptu.com resources, explains Jenna Forstrom, Community Manager

    for Adaptu.com.

    Financial institutions like Adaptu.com sometimes struggle to keep up with the demand for responsive

    business engagement and problem solving. The consumer can often end up finding information and

    resources on their own if their financial institution is not a socially savvy business. Adaptu.com

    decided to use social listening to turn this on its head, giving them the kind of information and

    connection they needed to empower their customer to regain control of their finances. That decision

    has given Adaptu.com strong gains in customer base and in customer satisfaction.

    Chapter 2 /

    Social ContentSocial content is the key that unlocks your social business. Sociallistening feeds the social business and social media marketingecosystem with constant, useful data. Social engagement makesyou human and accessible. Social content puts your core values,knowledge, talents, products, advice and services into a format thatcan be used, referenced and shared.

    The tenets of great, compelling social content are value, relevance, action and truth. Since manyof your leads will come from content sources, its important to produce the kind of content that

    people trust -- that they cant wait to read and share. Social content can also help with engagement

    (participating in a meme, for example, can certainly achieve instant shareability and increase fan

    engagement on a page), but the more relevant, actionable, valuable and less noisy your content is,

    the more quality it will deliver to you and to your customer. Compelling content allows your business

    to level-up in a competitive business world.

    Think of your social content as an extension of you that is a teacher, a salesperson, a researcher

    and a storyteller. Fantastic content will help you develop brand thought leadership, educate your

    customers, tell your story as a brand and give people who dont know you yet a reason to come

    back. It is a powerful lead generation tool, especially if your content has a high level of sharability.

    Content is infinitely scalable - its much easier to scale out from good content than to scale fromold-fashioned ads -- and each bit of content you create has the potential to shape shift and become

    more useful as part of your overall content engine.

    Some of the most compelling content in the summer of

    2012 came, surprisingly, from a cookie. Oreo came out

    swinging with an image a day for 100 days in their Daily

    Twist campaign. What made this campaign compelling

    was the quality of, and thought behind, the content,

    even more than the refreshing lack of push marketing.

    In fact, other than coming from the Oreo social media

    accounts and using an Oreo cookie for each image,

    there was no traditional marketing used at all.

    In addition to customers embracing the campaign for

    originality, marketers marveled at it for being a campaign

    done responsively, in real time, by multiple agencies.

    What is the ROI on such an expensive campaign? On

    the surface, a 110% increase in engagementand a rapid

    rise in fans and followers. Deeper, a sense of customerloyalty was fostered as fans of Oreo rallied around the

    brand for some of the more potentially controversial

    ideas. That kind of voluntary customer support is hard to

    find and cant be bought, and has a direct correlation to

    a healthy bottom line.

    Chapter 3/Engagement

    Engagement is the bridge between listening and content for thesocial business. Connecting everything your company does withembedded social practices and tools is important to a true socialbusiness ecosystem. By using engagement to reach beyond thewalls of your brand, you enrich your other social efforts with valueand authenticity, giving you an agile platform to make businessdecisions, solve problems, share ideas, and have a two-way dialoguewith your community. Engagement lets you reach your customerand potential customers wherever they are.

    Engagement goes hand in hand with social listening to handle any conversations about your brand

    or potential crises as well. In a true social business, bolstering your engagement and social listening

    with measurement data will help you address any issue with pinpoint accuracy. Utilizing a CRM

    system to keep track of your customer engagement and activities, the ebb and flow of your content

    and its reach enables your social business ecosystem to work. This is what it looks like when social

    is truly embedded into your business framework.

    You can use genuine, consistent engagement by your cross-departmental team to solve internal

    and external challenges, make customers feel special, enhance your social media marketing, and

    tell compelling stories from others. Engagement allows brands to humanize themselves by reaching

    out to help customers before youre asked. Making new connections and customers and supporting

    your community will make your brand resonate.

    There is no shortage of examples to call out that show

    companies are using social engagement well. TELUS,

    The University of Adelaideand eHarmonyall come to

    mind. However, Outback Steakhouse kicked their

    engagement up a notch by encouraging their

    customers to pay the engagement forward.

    Their engagement campaign is a winner on many levels.

    First, because it was inspired by a YouTube video 30

    gifts to 30 strangers in Sydney - demonstrating that thebrand is socially aware and has good listening tools in

    place. Second, they used their social business tools to

    identify a loyal Outback Steakhouse customer -- Dave

    Parsons - and give him a gift (well, 40 gifts, to be exact).

    He was then encouraged to give the gifts away to

    strangers and friends.

    Parsons was thrilled, blogginghis adventure and creating video content around it. More importantly,

    it reaped unexpected benefits for Outback, allowing them to reach a diverse audience that not only

    included Parsons friends and family, but his Mayor and celebrity animal trainer Jack Hanna! As a

    nice touch, Parsons also gave one of the gifts to the video blogger that inspired it all, Lucas Jatoba.

    Chapter 4/Social Ads

    Long gone are your typical broadcast, push ads. These ads are fallingby the wayside because they just arent effective. Sure, banner adsand other ad formats still exist and still convert, but customers expectmore. The ad has evolved, becoming social, interactive, entertainingor informative, and much more pull than push.

    Your social ad needs to entice the customer to do two things: take action with your brand, and

    pass on your message. Peer-to-peer recommendations are one of the most powerful tools in your

    advertising arsenal. Creating and sharing compelling content is at the heart of achieving your adcampaign goals. Dont forget: many social sites empower you to promote well-performing ad content

    to increase its reach and longevity.

    Engaging social ads leverage friend-to-friend connections and sharing to broaden your reach,

    capitalize on holidays and user data on social sites to drive action, gather more info about potential

    customers. These ads also promote users to opt in to your message, participate in contests,

    promotions, and sales, visit your online store, extend their engagement with you, and broaden your

    reach with likes and other actions. Social ads that leverage the 90-9-1 rulefor conversions and leads

    do very well for your brand (1% of people create content, 9% edit or modify that content, and 90%

    view the content without contributing at all).

    Ford used social advertising, listening and engagement tools to advertise their new Escape

    Routes show on NBC. By leveraging this Escape Routes Facebook advertising campaign, Ford

    saw an overall reduction in the cost of people going to the website to sign up to participate in the

    Ford Escape Routes Television Show on NBC

    show of 88% (cost per conversion) when compared to the cost of the same result at the start of the

    campaign. By the final day of the campaign, their social business ecosystem and embedded tools

    helped reduced the cost per sign-up and cost per click significantly.

    The entire campaign was presented over the course of five weekends, and over 420 million

    impressions were delivered. That shows the power of embedding social into your business for a

    responsive social business ecosystem.

    Chapter 5/Measurement

    It is no longer plausible (or possible) to claim social mediamarketing and social business are too esoteric or ethereal tomeasure. You can indeed track the metrics that drive social mediafor your business. In fact the true social business follows a policyof measure everything, leverage your data, inside and out, formaximum success and accountability.

    Excellent social business measurement requires thinking differently about how and what you

    measure. Measure traditional web analytics, SEO, shares, social media marketing campaigns,

    employee performance and collaboration, ideas, leads generated, sales data as tied to social

    content and engagement, content traction and reach, listening data points, ad conversions, costsand more. Create social measurement dashboards using spreadsheets, hashtags, keywords,

    landing pages and specific URL callouts.

    Learn how to filter your data! You will get a treasure trove of information you can use for everything

    from lead generation to product development to improving content to spying on the competition.

    Your data dashboards will help you find the gold nuggets hidden in the ocean of information and

    quickly put them to effective use for your social business. Remember, social businesses see four

    timestheir return on investment!
