The hook – a model poses a love struck young woman, posts a video on YouTube about a man she met in a café claiming to have his jacket that he left behind.

Social Media Risk - 1
Rushing into actionHasty decisions and
knee jerk reactions. One-off approach. Focus on the wrong
platforms. Misunderstanding
the requirements and recourses.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Social Media Risk - 2
Measurement Defined measurable
objectives. Metrics that link to
those objectives. Having the right
tools. Methodology to
calculate ROI.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Social Media Risk - 3
Content Can often be an afterthought. Requires
Planning Approval Guidelines Formatting.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Social Media Risk 4
Failure to engageAbout listening and
interacting, not shouting.
Hurdles to good engagement: Interesting
content. Self focused
content. Too much self
promotion. [email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope |

audience. Build over time. Without reach there
is no ROI.

SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT
GETTING THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Maximising engagement -1 Tone
The right tone is paramount to long term success on social media platforms.
Tailor your tone to your (target) audience.
Speak to people rather than at them, above them, or below them.
Simple conversational.
Genuine.

Build relationships with like minded users
Join groupsBecome known to
“field leaders” Supporting not raiding

External Too much broadcastOnline etiquette
Internal Set effective
parameters for staff utilising social networks.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Maximising Engagement - 4Getting the balance right;
Broadcast
Social search. Going to lunch what should I have?
Distribution of external links.
Conversation.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Maximising Engagement – 5 Control your message
Consistency of message.
Staff limitations – restrict multiple authors.
Track the time of day you see maximum engagement and adjust flow accordingly.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
Maximising Engagement - 6Use existing platforms:
I didn’t know you were on Twitter…
Ensure your existing comms tools are pointing towards your online presence – dockets, letters etc.
Website, email.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
How to measure engagement
Reach – how many people saw your activity
Exposure – how many people read conversations
Sentiment – how (un)popular was your message.
Measurement aids long term success. If its not working change it. If it is enhance it. You cant improve what you don’t measure.
[email protected] | Twitter: @TommyTudehope | #media140
How to handle dissent
Be responsive – take it on board.
Create an online culture where dissent becomes a rarity.
Cushion dissenting remarks with supportive, constructive feedback.
