The days of not having an on-line presence have long passed. Most organizations, including non-profits, cities, and counties along with state and federal agencies all now have websites. Most elected officials as well as many private citizens also have their own websites. In the mid-1990s, then Texas State Comptroller, John Sharp pushed the state government in the digital age with the creation of “Window on Texas” (www.window.state.tx.us). Since then every state agency now has a presence on the Internet. In the last 10 years the growth of social media sites has exploded. The younger generation was the first to embrace this new tool; but soon the fast-paced growth of social media encapsulated many from all generations. Then businesses, non-profits, politicians, and government agencies began to embrace social media to promote and grow their brand. Okay – maybe government agencies didn’t join social media to build their brands, but they did join the movement to engage their constituents. More recently, there have been a lot of discussions about social media fatigue and whether brands refuse to play for that reason. With more than a billion people on social media it’s irresponsible for any brand not to have some sort of presence. This year will be the year for brands to go beyond cookie cutter campaigns and really determine how it not only adds value to their organization, but how it adds value for their customers/constituents. This year will be crucial for organizations and social media. For those who don’t see a direct correlation between social media and brands consider this: “ Social media is an ideal tool for moving people up the fan ladder, from being a casual fan of a brand to a loyalist, because the communication channels allow people to build stronger emotional connections with brands.” So in 2012, the question is how will your brand use effective strategy to move people up the fan ladder from interested to foaming at the mouth brand zealots?
ASK: “How many of you hold town hall style meetings to solicit input from your constituents?”
