  1. Geben Communication – started 3 years ago. Team of 6 now. We focus on integrating traditional and digital PR strategies for a wide range of clients, from startups to established brands. We focus on helping clients disrupt the status quo. We want to work with organizations who want to shake things up – and that’s why the Columbus Marathon has been a perfect client for us. They take a very different approach to social media, which I’m going to share with you today.
  2. What are your broad goals for social?
  3. Time online needs to be time well spent, which means you have to build an audience – otherwise, you’re just talking to yourself,
  4. Lurker:  A lurker is someone who “liked” your page or began following you on Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram or some other network. They’ve taken a first step, but that’s it. In fact, a lurker is barely paying attention to the content you’re sharing and isn’t interested in “joining the conversation.” Eavesdropper:  An individual becomes an eavesdropper after something piqued their interest and now they’re beginning to develop some interest in what you’re saying. They’re still not interacting with your content, but you at least have an “in” to create some interaction. Acquaintance:  Finally, you’ve said or posted enough things that caught their attention. The individual is mildly interested in what you have to say, and like an acquaintance in your neighborhood, you’ll start to have some surface-level interactions. Active Participant:  As interactions become deeper and more meaningful – commenting instead of simply “liking” or proactively asking you questions or starting conversations with you on Twitter – the individual graduates from an acquaintance to a full-fledged active member of the community. Brand loyalist:  Loyalists have an affinity for you over the competition. When given a choice, they pick you over the competition, even if the competitor is cheaper or slightly more convenient. Loyalists have embraced your “ why. ” They ’ re buying more than a product or service. They ’ re buying into your mission and believe in what you ’ re doing. Brand advocate:  This is where the magic happens. Brand advocates are such strong members of the community that they want to recruit others to join. They tell other people to buy your product, share amazing customer service stories with their friends, and willingly answer questions from people (even if they don’t know them personally) about your product/service. They’re truly an extension of your team – and don’t require anything in return, other than you just continuing to exceed their expectations.
