Beware the hashtag




© 2012 Sift Media | 6th Floor, Bridge House, 48-52 Baldwin Street, Bristol BS1 1QB United Kingdom | www.siftmedia.co.uk | info@siftmedia.co.uk
….admit it when things go wrong



              “Within an hour, we saw that it wasn’t going as planned. It was
              negative enough that we set about a change of course. With all
             social media campaigns, we include contingency plans should the
             conversation not go as planned. The ability to change midstream
                  helped this small blip from becoming something larger.”


                                     Rick Wion, social media director, McDonald’s

  • 15. ….admit it when things go wrong “Within an hour, we saw that it wasn’t going as planned. It was negative enough that we set about a change of course. With all social media campaigns, we include contingency plans should the conversation not go as planned. The ability to change midstream helped this small blip from becoming something larger.” Rick Wion, social media director, McDonald’s © 2012 Sift Media | 6th Floor, Bridge House, 48-52 Baldwin Street, Bristol BS1 1QB United Kingdom | www.siftmedia.co.uk | info@siftmedia.co.uk

Notas do Editor

  1. Facebook posts deleted, removed, left up, deleted again Staff worker posting that she had removed alleged copied items from store – post deleted Coverage in the Metro etc
  2. Humphry Slocombe – ice cream chain with 14 outlets v Dairy Cream with multiple outlets across the US Engages users by being quirky – “ice cream with attitude”
  3. Google – hangouts – video chats Segment audience through Circles Downside – growth is small, few individuals using it, mostly social media experts and other businesses
  4. Works well with companies with a visual focus, stats claims that Pinterest is more popular with female audience BUT Issues of copyright Is it one platform too far?
  5. Subtle promotion of your services. Give your advice away for free and build up a reputation as an expert in your field.
