Are Europe's Communicators ready for Social Media?
With the increasing popularity ofSocial Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,
LinkedIn and the like, the communication profession is facing new and exciting
opportunities to communicate as well as new challenges that have to be met.
1383 professionals from 30 different European countries participated in a joint
survey of the European Association of Communication Directors and the University
of St. Gallen that looked into the way Social Media affect and change the waycommunication professionals conduct their daily work and how they react to and
cope with it.
The results presented on the following pages show the main challenges in the field
and develop approaches to help and support practitioners throughout Europe in
their effective use of Social Media.

Social Media are an issue for the communications profession. Almost all
communicators have had at least some experience in working with Social Media
applications and platforms.
Social Media are increasingly involved in every task of the profession - be it agenda
setting, media monitoring or building strong relationships with stakeholders.
A quarter of practitioners is very versed and exceptionally engaged in the Social
Media. Those "Social Media Enthusiasts" hardly take a step that is not in one way
or another being retraced in the Social Web.
Many practitioners find Social Media useful and increasingly relevant to their jobs.
But still it is often superiors who actively encourage and drive the use of SocialMedia in the workplace, thus creating a certain pressure to engage in the Social
Web.

Social Media are perceived with skepticism mainly by those who are not actively
engaging in them. Practitioners who have taken the leap and actively engage in the
Social Web are not only more confident and less afraid of the new applications and
platforms, they are generally more satisfied with their jobs.
Despite their widespread usage, Social Media are only just gaining ground in the
communications profession. Most organizations have neither crisis nor contingency
plans in place. Also, more than half of all professionals still display signs of overload
and stress when dealing with Social Media.
Many practitioners feel overloaded and stressed by adding Social Media to their
work profile. Actually developing a sense of enjoyment working with Social Media
applications and platforms seems to be the best coping strategy for this.
Social Media in European communications units are in a trial-phase and many
organizations are still experimenting. That's why now is a good time to take the leap
and actively engage in the Social Web.

Social Media have altered processes of information retrieval and diffusion in the
communications field for good and they are here to stay.
Consider that a staggering 97.4 % of communications professionals have at leasttried using Social Media in their work place. Only 2.6% of participants claim not
to use Social Media at all during their work time. And even so, 84% of non-users
employ Social Media applications in the private context.
The most popular Social Media instruments are Social Network Sites such as
Facebook and Content Networks such as Youtube. Microblogging Services such
as Twitter belong to the frontrunners, too.
Apart from the frontrunners, there are also less intensely used Social Mediaapplications, especially the potential oflocation based services and review sites
for the communication profession has still to be explored.

Page 15
Social Media Enthusiasts not only use more applications than any other user
group, they also employ them more intensely and more frequently in their jobs.
25% of all communications practitioners belong to this category.
Even though Social Media Enthusiasts are on average rather young, they are
likely to hold higher ranking positions in the field 40% of them work as Chief
Communications Officers.
Most Social Media Enthusiasts work in either privately held companies or NGOs.

The Selective Users (27.6%) make moderate use of Social Media. Their use is
limited to few selected applications, namely Social Networks, Content Networks
and Blogs, which they use in a medium intensity.
The Highly Specialized Users (11%) only focus on very few applications and use
them extensively.
The largest user group are the Broad Users (33%), who employ a very highnumber of Social Media applications in their jobs, even though they are not
using them very intensely.
The Non-Users are with 2.5% in grave danger of being extinct.

Communication professionals who use Social Media intensely and frequently in the
workplace derive more satisfaction from their jobs.
Not only do individuals who come into close contact with Social Media perceive theirwork as being more enjoyable and fun, they also feel more proud of their jobs and
they like the content and nature of their work better than people who do not or only
infrequently employ Social Media in their work.
In many businesses, Social Media bring the "social" back into the workplace. Social
Media enable knowledge workers to be more personally involved and get in touch
with people again.
In the Social Media age, communicators are required to talk directly and often in realtime to their audiences. This is a great responsibility, but it can be also very rewarding.

NGOs: The new kids on the block
NGOs use Social Media more often and
with greater virtuosity than any other
organization type

Page 25
NGO's are in many ways communications new kids on the block: Their use of
Social Media in a wide range of tasks is above average in all cases.
Often communicators working at NGO's are young and cannot profit from
exceptionally high salaries. They discover Social Media as an effective and
resource saving means to reach audiences and promote specific causes.
Not surprisingly, among the NGOs, there are virtually no non-users and more
Social Media Enthusiasts than in any other organization type. NGOs play a
pioneering role in the communications field.

Social Media Pressure
Social Media are a Prerequisite
in the Communications Field
regardless of Position or Age
8/7/2019 Social Media and the Communication Profession
28/94
EACD
Survey Results
Page 28
Virtually all communications professionals work with Social Media. Certain Social
Media skills have become a prerequisite in the field. Even older participants,
who make relatively modest use of the new platforms and applications at home,are required to use Social Media in the work place.
This pressure to use Social Media comes to a large extent from within the
organization and from the individual itself.
Professionals use Social Media mainly because they believe that taking part in
the conversation on the Social Web will enhance their job performance and
because people who are important to them such as their superiors think they
should engage in the Social Media.

Most companies react in an adhoc fashion to events unfolding in the SocialMedia.
Almost a third of participants state that they have established a
communications plan specifically tailored to the Social Media context
But only very few have actual crisis or contingency plans in place.

Still, when it comes to "jump in" and talk to Social Media audiences, insecurity
and anxiety are still a major issue among communications professionals.
The Social Media crowd is in many ways a challenging audience to win over and
the immediacy of the communication in the Social Web often leads to hesitancy
among communications professionals.
There is only but one way to overcome these doubts and insecurities: Jump in
rather sooner than later. The longer communications professionals work withSocial Media, the more confident they feel about them.
Since the profession has only just made its first steps in the new information
environment and is still in a trial phase, it is a good time to experiment and
engage actively in the conversation now, thus developing and aggregating
valuable competencies for the future.

Social Media bring considerable changes to the everyday work of communications
professionals. The amount of possibly useful information waiting to be processed
is growing at an astonishing rate. The conversation on Social Media never rests
24 hours a day, blogs are being updated, tweets posted and groups formed on
Social Networking Sites.
In this changing work environment, communications professionals face increasing
pressure and feelings ofoverload are often the consequence.
53.4 % of participants experience feelings of overload when working with Social
Media. They feel that, due to Social Media, they have to work more and faster.
Sometimes they are faced with too much information to meaningfully process. To
individuals who feel overloaded, it is especially important that the work is fun.

Get out of the cubicle, don't be afraid to talk to the
audience in real time. Since statements in the Social
Web cannot always be signed off by the corporateoffice, this can come as a great responsibility, but it
can also be very rewarding.
Embrace the social in your work. Most tasks acommunications practitioner faces during the day
can be carried out or reinforced in the Social Web.
Social Media don't necessarily replace press releases
and press conferences, but they are very effective
ways to complement them.
