“Be like a headland of rock on which the waves break incessantly;
but it stands fast and around it the seething of the waters sink to
resist.” -Marcus Aurelius

Ninety percent of social
media is just showing up.

It’s the other half that’s hard.

Strategy: to humanize the company
by connecting consumers with Ford
employees and with each other when
possible, providing value in the
process.
