- 13. 3 things to remember… • Remember who you are – There is a fine line between your social and your private persona. Crossing that line can come back to haunt you in your public life and will cause apprehension with your private connections as they wonder if is you the person or you the business. • You don’t own your message! – This is the ‘Chinese Whispers’ syndrome; the integrity of your message will always be at risk of being interpreted differently than what your intent was especially after being ‘retweeted’ for the 100th time. Do not leave any ambiguity in your message. • Trust and transparency – Social media is built on trust. I trust you therefore you trust me and you’ll be more inclined to read what I post. Be authentic and transparent. 13 Confidential Global Marketing

Editor's Notes
- [talking points] To put things into context why I am here to speak about Social Media.We are a large global company that had our beginning with a model of engagement over the InternetWe have grown to become a large multi-national corporation that specialises in providing solutions to small and large businesses alike along with having a worldwide customer base.Rather than running our business in a centralised manner, we have staff located throughout the world in all of our markets, thus understanding the need to engage.
- [talking points] We are not just about being a transactional company, we are also a company with a history of civic duty with the environment and society and heavy engagement both from a company level and from employees directly.
- [talking points] So it stands to reason why we are also so heavily involved into Social Media as we have recognised the importance of listening.With 4,000 conversations everyday, Dell is one of the most often talked about brands in Social Media, so it is important to listen and engage.We have a large community of connections that provide us with valuable input, guidance, ideas all invaluable to us in how we operate as a company.The results have been good, and yes it has provided us with some revenue but in the grand scheme of things that is not
- [talking points]The 3 things about our history timeline in Social MediaWe’ve been in it since 2006 or a lifetime as far as Social Media yearsOur beginnings were based on and continue to be as a means to engage with people Our focus in the beginning was to utilise the community to share the conversation and solutions along with allowing others who may have experienced similar situations to provide theirs to the communityThen we moved into niche communities to allow people with similar interests to share their experiences and solutionsToday we are looking at ways to utilise social media as a channel to allow customers to help other customers in choosing solutions that best suit.
- [talking points]We use Chatter for internal social media that allows staff to engage in a community that is specifically for staffDirect2Dell is a Dell managed community that allows users to engage with other users and Dell expertsYouTube allows us to virally seed video out to the community for items like product launches and eventsTwitter is our main and most effect social media tool as it brings ‘real-time’ engagement to regional followersFacebook provides greater detail on posts as it can incorporate multimedia and a greater depth of detail

- [talking point]The most famous example of citizen journalism, Miracle on the Hudson40,000 views in the first 4 hoursRepublished in nearly all major news medias
- [talking points]Argument against - The premise of citizen journalism is that regular people can now collect information and pictures with video cameras and cellphones, and distribute words and images over the Internet. Advocates argue that the acts of collecting and distributing makes these people “journalists.” This is like saying someone who carries a scalpel is a “citizen surgeon” or someone who can read a law book is a “citizen lawyer.” Tools are merely that. Education, skill and standards are really what make people into trusted professionals. Information without journalistic standards is called gossip.Argument for - Supporters of “citizen journalism” argue it provides independent, accurate, reliable information that the traditional media don’t provide.
