2. Course overview
Please asks questions as we go along.
We will have two 30 minutes breaks during the course
11.00 and 12.00. Lunch at 14.00.
The format looks like this:
• Strategy
• Content development
• Platforms
• Measure success
3. Definitions - what I mean with the words
Strategy - where you want go, what you want to achieve.
Plans - the ways you are reaching your goals. You can have several plans
for your organisation.
Tactics - the things you do to reach your goal, more details in the tactics
than the Plan has.
Processes - when you find a good way to do something you create a
process out of that. Other people can copy a process and you can
describe it to someone else.
Habits - it’s when you are in the flow - you will have both good and bad
habits and someone might point that out.
5. Where are you today?
How are you using social media and digital tools?
6. Your organisation
How are you using social media today?
Who is using social media?
Does your customers contact you using social media?
How do you describe your organisation’s culture?
How does the structure of the organisation effect social
media?
9. You know your
strategy and
what should be
done
But you are
not sure
how to do it
You need to provide your teams with
a policy and guideline, time to explore, training
and you also need an organisational curiosity.

Creators make social content go. They write blogs or upload video, music, or text.
Collectors organise content for themselves or others using RSS feeds, tags, and social bookmarking websites
Critics respond to content from others. They post reviews, comment on blogs, participate in forums, and edit
wikis
Joiners connect in social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest
Spectators consume social content including blogs, user-generated video, podcasts, forums, or reviews
Inactives neither create nor consume social content of any kind

Stakeholder mapping
What is a stakeholder?
!
A stakeholder is anybody who can affect or is affected by an
organisation, strategy or project.
!
Internal or external
!
Senior or junior levels
!
The people who will be affected by the change (if they don’t like it they
will influence)
!
'People or small groups with the power to respond to, negotiate with,
and change the strategic future of the organization'
(Eden and Ackermann 1998: 117).

New technology = new questions
New technology means that we must ask
ourselves new question to move forward.
New combinations feels weird.
Great combinations makes our customers smile and
connect with you.
The better questions you ask yourself about your brand
and customers, the better answers you’ll receive.

31. David McCraney author of the book
You Are Not So Smart:
”Your opinions are the result of years of
paying attention to information that
confirmed what you believed, while
ignoring information that challenged
your preconceived notions.”

Branding and word exercise
Pick random word and brainstorm
Create new messages
How does the audiences response?
34. !
Define your brand values
The better we are defining our deep brand values the
better we are going to become at expanding out ideas.
Brand values and biz culture are developed slowly.
Structure can be changed in seconds.
37. !
Story and purpose
What do you offer?
Why do you do what you do?
What’s your story? Does everyone know your story?
When and how are you sharing your story and
purpose with your customers?
Story, purpose & connection make your customer
adore you
47. Content marketing is not focusing on selling
Giving away content for free - that’s the thing!
- Blog posts
- Podcasts
- Interviews
- Inspiring stories as case studies
- News
- Videos
- White Papers
- E-books
- Infographics
- Questions and Answers

What you always need to track online
—>Negative comments
—> Positive comments
—> New opportunities
1) Which keywords matter for your brand
2) Which platforms do you have to monitor?
3) How should you respond?
50. !
How to manage negative comments?
Negative comments can be a sign of engagement.
What is the context?
Can customer
service to manage them?
!
51. !
Some negative comments should be removed
Never accept any kind of harassment on your social media
channels.
Remove and ban accounts that are not following your
terms and conditions.
Review your terms and conditions on your website and on
your social media platforms. Sometimes a warning is
enough.
55. !
Points of wisdom
- Make the policy easy to read and accessible. By accessible I mean that
everyone wherever they are in the world has access to it. Don’t hide it
away. Make it visible and share it online.
- Create information that can be read and understood in a few minutes. It
may be shared in writing or as a video or any other creative format.
- I would suggest that you involve several teams in creating the
guidelines. This could be your legal team, HR team and marketing team.
If you have a PR department, I am sure they would like to contribute as
well.
56. !
Keep your policy up to date
Social media changes all the time, and that means that you’ll have to
update your social media policy on a regular basis
Review it every year, and see if things are still applicable.
You don’t want your policy to sound out of date, because then people
are not going to engage with it.
57. !
Become a better social media community manager
Be a leader and show the way forward
You set the rules and make sure people follow them
Lack of integrity and leadership will make all platforms fail
You are allowing people to use your branded channel and
you want to make sure what’s shared there is both
interesting and relevant.
Remind people about your purpose in different ways
58. We don’t want to listen to robots. We want !
to listen to other human beings who
are sharing their experience with us.

What not to do
Social media slips no better/worse than slips of the tongue, and
need to be dealt with in the same way: delete, apologise, move on.
!
“Digital leaders have a plan for how to handle negative comments online. They
know they will be there one day and they have thought through how to reply,
ignore and delete.”
