- RachelI’ll kick things off
- RachelGoal of this presentation is to help you build and maintain an army of many, a few or of one.Ragan, a PR publisher, partnered with NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions to produce a survey that details the social media. They surveyed 2,714 respondents online, focusing on communicators, marketers, public relations pros and others whether they have someone who focuses exclusively on social media, or if their social media duties are duties on top of their regular work.Most organizations don’t have an employee who focuses on social media. 65 percent of respondents do social media on top of their other duties. Nearly 83 percent work on teams of three or fewer.
- RachelSocial media provides you an opportunity to tell your schools story directly to prospective students, current students, alumni, and staff. What’s storytelling?

- RachelAny new initiative needs executive support otherwise it is doomed to never get off the ground. My team began to make small wins, but I neglected to engage our C level folks. Bad move. It wasn’t until our new managing director joined our company that he began to ask questions about our social media channels. Interest is always a good indication as it leads to the ability to share your plans in a open forum. Working with the managing director helped me understand what the C suite wanted. Did he care about how many followers we had? Interesting fact to me, but not to him. He did want to hear how we help customers via social media and increased engagement with our client and prospective audience. By sharing mini case studies with the team based on different internal and external wins, I was able to leverage our wins in terms of what C level executives care about: minimizing risk to the organization, increasing our awareness (which leads to more people know about our company and potentially buying our service, aka revenue), and sharing our client success stories that peaked our trades interest. I learned rather quickly my executives didn’t care about how many followers we had, but did care that we were able to resolve customer services issues quickly. Example? Recently at our user group meeting we were experience wifi issues and our attendees began to post on Twitter how slow the wifi was. Since we monitor the feeds, I saw this issue and was able to connect to our events team and solve the issue. Big deal you say? I was able to resolve the wifi issues within 3 mins. 3 mins sounds impossible, right? Not really. Once I say the feed and let people know that we were aware of the issue and were taking care of it, people responded with” thank you(s)” and “awesome(s).” mitigating risk will always get the c suite attention. When I presented to our chief executive officer on our strategy, he supported it not because that’s what our other competitors were doing because I sold him on the ability that we could mitigate risk. He saw the value that using social media from that point forward. Also, I was able to get some of our executives to perform in a variety of social media activities from participating in tweet chats to setting up Twitter accounts and actively engaging with our market.
- RachelYou have seen where we are now this is where we are headedIn order to create a consistent message we need all parties to participate in our strategy of POST. Example, when worked with CC about their social assets. Before working with us there was any consistence to the SM sites. Sometimes they post, sometimes they answered questions. But no thought about their effort and what it was yeilding. We just knew we had to do something.By working through the post model- we identified their ultimate goal was drive traffic back to there site. (Objective). We then came up with a strategy that supported the objective with perspective tactics to support. Through ongoing coaching we have been able to improve traffic to CC.Ultimate, our strategy is to build 16 consistent channels and use our social media champions to send a consistent message. The SMC will have training, a handbook, and a style guide that helps them in their efforts. We want people to work with us and be collaborative. That doesn't’t mean everyone creates their own channel; however we can have folks participate better in the existing channels with guidance and support. (example- there are many LI groups in which people can participate but we don’t. we need folks to have training so they know how to act and not make mistakes that reflect on Hobsons brand). We know from experience that without education and training people will flounder and their efforts will be unsuccessful.Other groups that we have not engage with yet, are missing opportunities to leverage social media or not consistently using the medium. I believe this is because we are not measuring our efforts and not defining why we are engaging in SM before building the SM channel.Ultimately I want people to engage within specfic SM channels that are trained, understand the expectations of particiapting and use the guide to build SM sites (if possible).If we want to build our SM channels we need to all pull for the same framework and evaluate what we are doing.
