Social Networks Facilitate The Need to be Recognised “Twi&ering stems from a lack of iden5ty. It’s a constant update of who you are, what you are, where you are. Nobody would Twi&er if they had a strong sense of Iden5ty” Oliver James, Clinical Psychologist
“Twi&er is like a giant baby monitor. The person wri5ng wants to be at the forefront of your mind, nothing more.” Alain de Bo[on, Author of Status Anxiety
“Using Twi&er suggests a level of insecurity whereby, unless people recognise you, you cease to exist.” Dr David Lewis, CogniCve Neuropsychologist
“Any chance of an RT?”

Influence is RelaCve
"Really getting into the knitting!!! Helps me relax after high-pressure world of the Premiership."
"OMG!! Eurozone debt problems can only properly be solved by true fiscal union!!! #comeonguys."

Beware!
Influence is born out of trust
• Friends & Family • Heroes & Icons • Brands • Niche communiCes
Not just a high score!
• Influence can be posiCve & negaCve • It has “influence” at every stage of the consumer journey • Recall (Awareness & Interest) • AOV (Conversion) • CLV (MulCple Conversion & Loyalty) • NPS (Advocacy & Trust)

A Final Thought
For the non-‐celebrity: It has been mathemaCcally proven: Your Klout Score is inversely proporConal to how busy you are.
