Are you serious about the impact of social media on your corporate communications and marketing strategy?

6 excellent reasons why you must attend this Summit:

1 Targetted, relevant learning - an exclusively business-focused conference agenda - created after 3 months of research with senior communications and marketing executives

2 Be part of a dynamic learning community - 150 Corp Comms and Marketing executives to attend

3 Practical insights you can use - knowledge-sharing from over 20 large corporations on social media for communications/marketing teams

4 Open discussion on the biggest issues - every session has discussion in-built, and we also offer 12+ hours of networking time

5 An independent forum - our agenda is the product of primary research, and is entirely independent. We are not here to sell you solutions/software/services. You will receive a well-balanced, innovative and informative briefing to enable you to make the best decisions for your business

6 Measure the results - get social media progress packaged and delivered in a language your Finance Director can understand

A conference full of senior corporate speakers:

32% are Directors

37% are Heads of Department

5% are Vice-Presidents

26% are Managers

What makes this event better than all the other social media conferences out there?

Simple. An exclusive focus on business

The brightest minds in corporate social media – under one roof!

Too many events in this area are populated by ‘social media gurus’ (read service providers and consultants) as speakers, and discuss ‘social media issues’ in the broadest possible terms.

They’re barely relevant to a corporate audience at all.

The Corporate Social Media Summit is different. Why?

• 3 months of research with big companies, like Dell, Starbucks, Toyota, Intel and PepsiCo have ensured we know exactly what business needs to know about when it comes to social media use

• Exclusively corporate speakers - with representatives from big companies like Whole Foods Market, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald’s, Samsung, Marriott, Siemens and Citi

• A tightly-focused agenda - dealing with the biggest issues facing your company when it comes to using social media - areas covered include:

• How to establish and progress your internal strategy on social media use

• How to leverage social media to better control your reputation online (and offset inevitable risk)

• How to create value for your company through social media - and measure whether you’re achieving it

• An emphasis on practical, measurable strategies for business

• An audience of corporate communicators and marketers

– not consultants and service providers

THEME ONEHOW TO ESTABLISH AND PROGRESS YOUR INTERNAL STRATEGY ON SOCIAL MEDIA USE

S U P E R – P A N E L

Scale up your social media into a comprehensive, company-wide and well-defined strategic effortTransforming your social media strategy from an ad hoc series of messages from a few disparate employees into a well-managed, well-measured and effective plank of your communications and marketing strategy is difficult.

Even the most social media-savvy companies are struggling to transform their approach to social media into something truly strategic.

In this session, attendees will examine different approaches to creating a company-wide social media strategy - and learn more about how to implement one in their own business. We will cover:

• From toe in the water to full-body immersion: The difficulties - and opportunities - in making social media a fully fledged, effective and integrated part of company strategy

• Are they centres of excellence or inaccessible, silos of knowledge: How to manage social media expertise across your business

• What do you want to transform into? How to determine what your social media strategy should look like

Take advantage of location-based social networks to better engage with potential consumersThe current flavour of the month amongst social media ‘gurus’ is Foursquare – a location-based social network allowing people to ‘check-in’ at stores, bars, restaurants etc - and tell people about it.

Already, forward-thinking brands are using Foursquare to better engage with potential consumers. Warner Brothers used the service to publicise their film ‘Valentine’s Day’ through tailored badges, tips and to-dos on the site. Domino’s is offering one free pizza a week to people that ‘check-in’ the most at each of their branches.

In this session, we will investigate:

• Foursquare, Buzz, Gowalla, Yelp – the differences between the leading location-based networks and how they impact you

• Tactics for leveraging location information to create targeted marketing and communications

• Is free coffee enough? Are location-based discounts the best use of this new tool, or can a more immersive experience be designed?

Leverage the power of your employees and turn them into effective brand ambassadorsAs a communications/marketing professional, you’re well aware of the power of your employees to act as truly influential brand ambassadors. Well, social media has just increased their influence many times over.

An engaged - and social media savvy - employee base will be a huge advantage to your marketing and communications campaigns. In this session, we will investigate how social media enables you to capitalise on the dormant power of an existing asset.

• Designing the rules of engagement: best practice tips on establishing the ‘rules of the game’ for employees using social media - keeping them involved whilst retaining control

• Taking the next step: Going from a set of social media rules to a set of active brand advocates - how to turn your people from employees to ambassadors

• What to do when an employee mis-steps - crisis management and the re-evaluation of priorities

Integrate social media into your marketing mix – and fully leverage social’s powerIt’s 2010 - we know that social media tools can enhance your marketing and communications strategy. And yet social media is still all too often seen as the black sheep of the family - ignored, and not integrated fully into a business’s marketing mix. It’s something that must change if a company is to reap the full benefits of social media.

In this session, our experts will give you essential insight on how to comprehensively integrate social media into your company’s marketing mix.

• Changing a winning formula - for the better: How to add social media to your existing marketing/communications strategy without decreasing activity in areas of proven effectiveness

• How cheap is social media, really? Determining the cost - in time and money - of increased social media activity

• Discover how to establish a consistent message over all your marketing channels - whilst coping with the informality necessary in social media

Understand and fully utilize the wealth of data social media deliversSocial media generates a huge amount of data - all of which can be used by the savvy Communications/Marketing Director to evolve and improve brand strategy.

In this session, we will look at how you can best analyse the data that social media will provide for you. Then we’ll tell you how to incorporate that data into brand strategy decisions going forward.

• What good social media analysis can teach you about your customers

• Using the data: How to incorporate social media analysis in decisions on brand strategy

• How to present this new type of data to your stakeholders with clarity - and engage the rest of your team with your new strategy

Reputational risk: How to spot early warnings of trouble for your brandYou’ve all heard the horror stories – “United Breaks Guitars” and “There’s a Comcast Technician Asleep on my Couch” to name just two. Rest assured there will be plenty more.

Whilst it might be impossible to completely remove the chance of a social media nightmare - you can guard against it. And if it does happen, you can learn how to respond in the best possible way.

In this session, we’ll investigate:

• How to identify the warning signs - when should you start getting worried?

• What to do when disaster strikes - how to use social media to respond effectively

• Establishing systems to guard against social media faux pas, and deal with problems quickly and effectively

Best practice for using Twitter to achieve your communications and marketing goalsA few stats on current Twitter use:

• At the current rate, Twitter will process almost 10bn tweets in 2010

• 44% of people have recommended a product via Twitter. • 73% of the Fortune 100 have a Twitter account...

The poster child of social media in 2009 is now an essential communications and marketing tool.

In this frank and practical discussion, Dell – a major corporate Twitter success story - will set out how they approach using this tool to further their communications and marketing aims.

You’ll learn how they managed to make $3m directly from Twitter - and how you can follow their lead and extract the maximum value from this major social networking tool.

Conversation skills: How to win friends and influence people83% of B2C companies have a social media presence. It’s an accepted requirement for the successful marketing and communications departments.

And yet there is huge variety in the quality and usefulness of these social media presences. Social media is fundamentally a conversation. And some brands on social networks just aren’t making good conversation.

In this session, we will discover all the conversational skills you need to make sure your social media presence pays off for you.

• Choosing when to converse: You can’t talk to everyone - how do you identify the best people to engage with?

• Effective engagement: Strategies and tips on how to have a conversation that gets results

• Ghostwritten: Is it better to hire in an agency to run your social media presence and do the talking for you? What are the risks of this approach?

THEME THREEHOW TO ESTABLISH SOCIAL MEDIA VALUE FOR YOUR COMPANY - AND THEN MEASURE WHETHER YOU’RE GETTING ANY

P R A C T I C A L W O R K S H O P

Define a set of useful KPIs tailored to your business and goals“A lot of marketers just want to start using Facebook or Twitter right away without thinking about how. But setting objectives is crucial for success in this space.” Sean Corcoran, Social Media Analyst, Forrester Research

You want to use social media. You know it will enhance your marketing and communications. You want to measure your success. But before you can measure anything, you need to define what you want to measure.

In this session, attendees will learn how to set tailored objectives to measure their social media progress:

• What does ‘value’ mean for you? How to establish realistic goals to work towards

• Instigate key performance indicators that are relevant to your own social media strategy

How Adidas have used Facebook to enhance their brand, build awareness and boost the bottom line83% of companies maintain a Facebook presence, according to a recent study by Business.com

One of the most successful proponents is Adidas. Ranked 11th in a recent survey of the best corporate Facebook users, the adidas Originals page has more than 2.3 million fans.

In the second of our series of case studies on the major social networks, Chris Barbour, who runs the company’s Facebook presence, will give you insight into how he has engendered such success.

ROI: Assess its importance and discover its effectiveness as a social media metricDetermining the ROI of social media is something of a holy grail. Innumerable hours have been spent trying to attribute dollars and cents to value of a company’s social media activity.

But there is a larger question, which is increasingly being asked. Is ROI a useful social media metric? Many experienced corporate social media practitioners are dismissive of its usefulness.

In this session, two seasons social media experts debate the value of ROI as a social media metric:

• The advantages of striving to find a social media ROI - and some tactics to find it

• Missing the point: The risks inherent in attempting to ascribe monetary value to your social media effort

• How to convince your board of the value of social media - without ROI information

In this session, Johnson & Johnson, the pharmaceutical giant, will discuss how they have leveraged YouTube to produce measurable success.

Social media metrics: How the communications/marketing executive can effectively measure successSocial media is enormously complex, and a large social media marketing and communications campaign can provoke more ripples than you could ever hope to count.

The difficulty for the communications and marketing professional is not measuring the impact of social media – it is deciding what to measure. You could spend 100% of your time measuring the multitude of impacts social media can have on your business.

How do you cut down time spent and focus only on the essential metrics that can be of real value to your business?

In this session, we’ll show you how.

• Do 2,000,000 fans matter? The limitations of sticking with quantitative measurement

• Moving beyond basic numbers: An in-depth look at where to look once you have a handle on the followers and fans

• Sentiment analysis - real-life examples of it’s use, and how you can take advantage too
