YOU DON’T
NEED A
SOCIAL
MEDIA
STRATEGY
THIS DECK WAS PRESENTED AT THE
        140 CHARACTERS CONFERENCE IN
        WASHINGTON DC ON 6/17/10. IT WAS
        WRITTEN FOR A TEN-MINUTE
        “LIGHTNING TALK” FORMAT.

        IT WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO
ABOUT   MYRIAD PUNDITS CONTINUING TO
THIS    GUSH OVER SOCIAL MEDIA AS A
        SUPER-SPECIAL SPECIALTY AREA.
PRESO
        SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING IS FAR
        PAST THE EXPERIMENTATION AND
        “SHINY NEW OBJECT” PHASES. TIME
        TO STOP GUSHING, START THINKING
        ABOUT INTEGRATION, AND START
        SHOWING RESULTS.

I’m an American, but work in Vancouver, so here’s a shout-out to all the
               Canadians in the audience at #140conf!

                                                                           3
I’m an ad guy, a marketer, a suit — but also a mega-nerd, one of the
 first bloggers (see above) and podcasters. I’ve seen the web move
          from experimental to commercial to search to social.

   i.e., I’m not predisposed to either social or traditional media. I’m
fortunate that I’ve been able to explore marketing innovations to see
    which trends and tools have legs — or don’t — for my clients.


                                                                          4
2004-2009 WAS A RIOT, AN
              EXPERIMENT, A FUN CULTURAL
              EXPERIENCE.


IT’S BEEN A   WE MARVELLED AS OUR TWEETS
              SCROLLED BY AT SXSW.
FUN FIVE
              WE SIGNED UP FOR JAIKU, POWNCE
YEARS,        AND TWITTER.
HASN’T IT?
              USTREAM, KYTE AND JUSTIN.TV.
              SNAPVINE, TROTTR AND UTTERLI.

              IN SHORT, WE TRIED EVERYTHING.


                                               5
In the early days of the social web, we joined Flickr
                      meetups…
                                                        6
We attended Ignite, TechLive, Facebook Developer Garages. Wrote blog
       posts in podcasting lounges at social media conferences.


                                                                       7
We marvelled at (and endlessly played) the “Did You Know” video.



                                                                   8
And we watched as Justine talked about her iPhone bill from
                         AT&T.

                                                              9
WE WATCHED OPRAH, ASHTON,
LARRY KING AND CNN POUNCE ON
TWITTER.

WE STOPPED RANTING THAT IT
WAS “ABOUT A DIALOGUE” AND
STARTED TALKING ABOUT CO-
CREATION, CROWDSOURCING AND
UNPAID ARMIES.

AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED
TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR A

SOCIAL MEDIA
STRATEGY.
                               10
WE DON’T
NEED NO

SOCIAL

THAT’S LIKE A

                12
A FREEWAY

              16
My job is to
OUR GOALS:    think past mere
             communication.
                 To get my

INTERACT.          clients’
               customers to
             interact with our


SHARE.
                content. To
                share it with
              their friends. To
                get them off


GET OFF       their asses and
              get them to DO
             something. Join
               a loyalty club.

YOUR ASS.      Show up at a
             company event.
               Choose us at
                    retail.

                                  17
IN OTHER WORDS:


ENGAGEMENT.
INFLUENCE.
ACTIVATION.
Rather than a “social media strategy,” we need an Engagement Strategy.
   An Influence Strategy. An Activation Strategy. Focused around our
        clients’ end business goals, not media specialties! Srsly.
                                                                         18
REIMAGINING OUR APPROACH




    STUDY/
     PLAN       LISTEN    PUBLISH    ENGAGE      INFLUENCE     ACTIVATE


    Too many companies approach social from a Publishing mindset. We
 recommend rethinking marketing using a MIX of traditional and social, in the
context of Engagement, Influence & Activation. An activated customer spends
more, shares more and cares more. It’s a harder creative challenge but a better
                                    one.

PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED TO LEAVING
FACEBOOK ON “QUIT FACEBOOK DAY” (MAY 31)

NEW USERS WHO JOINED THAT DAY ANYWAY


794,000
(GIVE OR TAKE A FEW THOUSAND)

 HUMOROUS ASIDE: On May 31, 2010, 36,000 people were activated to
quit Facebook. Ironically, that same day, another 794,000 were activated to
                            join Facebook anyway.

                                                                              20
We’ve seen
            incredible success

DDB IS     for our clients using
                 a blend of
              traditional and
               social media.

FOCUSING        EXAMPLE:
           DDB Canada was
            asked to build a

ON A        traditional media
              campaign for
           Knorr’s Sidekicks®


BLENDED
               low-sodium
             packaged meal
               product. We
                 created a


APPROACH     character, Salty,
           who was no longer
              needed at the
               dinner table.
                                   21
Once we had started the conversation through traditional
  media, we then brought Salty to life through social.
                                                           22
Our Radar DDB Cultivation Team engaged with consumers in character, on
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and elsewhere. Visitors were encouraged (and
 activated) to participate with Salty through activities like photo contests.
                                                                                23
Through the social sites, Salty could come to life and engage with
consumers, who would use their influence to forward, fan and like
                                him.
                                                                     24
Even teenagers surfing
ChatRoulette were stunned
 to find they were chatting
    with salt and pepper
 shakers, instead of some
  random shirtless dude.
          Surprise!




                              25
We got traditional press as well as lots of blogger pickup, and our
 cultivation team engaged with these bloggers to stretch our reach and
influence further. Let’s take a look at another traditional commercial that
                  followed after the initial Salty creative.
We encouraged user-generated content. Consumers started uploading videos
   of their kids interacting with the salt and pepper shakers, some getting
                              thousands of views.
People enthusiastically submitted photos in our photo contests. And
              then shared those photos with friends.
They even put together photo shoots featuring their culinary dishes, along
                          with Salty and Pep.
And pasta art submissions prove that activation CAN defeat time starvation!
                     So how did the campaign do?

 Blended, integrated efforts WORK. It takes a lot more effort, cost and brand
 interactions to move consumers through the funnel these days. So why not
                                    RETAIL

        grease the skids using a mix of traditional and social content?
                                                                                                                                                           32
SUMMARY
POINTS



          33
PROPONENTS: WE
NEED TO TALK
MORE ABOUT
END BUSINESS
GOALS THAN
SOCIAL MEDIA
                 34
COMMUNICATORS:
PLAN YOUR
TRADITIONAL AND
SOCIAL TOGETHER
  Too many marketers are looking at social as an add-on. They hire
social media enthusiasts with no traditional experience to handle their
social efforts, resulting in marginal market response. Your traditional
     and social media efforts should be planned together. By
     experienced strategists. Using impactful creative work.
                                                                          35
SO USE
TRADITIONAL TO
START AND/OR
SUPERCHARGE A
SOCIAL
CONVERSATION
                 36
AND USE SOCIAL TO
REVERBERATE AND
AMPLIFY MARKET
IMPACT WHEN THE
CAMPAIGN IS NO
LONGER RUNNING.
                    37
BECAUSE STRONG
CREATIVE,
INTEGRATED
ACROSS BOTH
TRADITIONAL AND
SOCIAL MEDIA, WILL
MOVE THE NEEDLE.     38
AND THAT,
MY FRIENDS, IS A
GOOD STRATEGY.

                   39
MUCHAS
GRACIAS.

You Don't Need a Social Media Strategy (Washington DC Edition)

  • 2. THIS DECK WAS PRESENTED AT THE 140 CHARACTERS CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON DC ON 6/17/10. IT WAS WRITTEN FOR A TEN-MINUTE “LIGHTNING TALK” FORMAT. IT WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO ABOUT MYRIAD PUNDITS CONTINUING TO THIS GUSH OVER SOCIAL MEDIA AS A SUPER-SPECIAL SPECIALTY AREA. PRESO SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING IS FAR PAST THE EXPERIMENTATION AND “SHINY NEW OBJECT” PHASES. TIME TO STOP GUSHING, START THINKING ABOUT INTEGRATION, AND START SHOWING RESULTS. 2
  • 3. I’m an American, but work in Vancouver, so here’s a shout-out to all the Canadians in the audience at #140conf! IM IN YER COUNTREE, STEELIN UR HELTHCAREZ 3
  • 4. I’m an ad guy, a marketer, a suit — but also a mega-nerd, one of the first bloggers (see above) and podcasters. I’ve seen the web move from experimental to commercial to search to social. i.e., I’m not predisposed to either social or traditional media. I’m fortunate that I’ve been able to explore marketing innovations to see which trends and tools have legs — or don’t — for my clients. 4
  • 5. 2004-2009 WAS A RIOT, AN EXPERIMENT, A FUN CULTURAL EXPERIENCE. IT’S BEEN A WE MARVELLED AS OUR TWEETS SCROLLED BY AT SXSW. FUN FIVE WE SIGNED UP FOR JAIKU, POWNCE YEARS, AND TWITTER. HASN’T IT? USTREAM, KYTE AND JUSTIN.TV. SNAPVINE, TROTTR AND UTTERLI. IN SHORT, WE TRIED EVERYTHING. 5
  • 6. In the early days of the social web, we joined Flickr meetups… 6
  • 7. We attended Ignite, TechLive, Facebook Developer Garages. Wrote blog posts in podcasting lounges at social media conferences. 7
  • 8. We marvelled at (and endlessly played) the “Did You Know” video. 8
  • 9. And we watched as Justine talked about her iPhone bill from AT&T. 9
  • 10. WE WATCHED OPRAH, ASHTON, LARRY KING AND CNN POUNCE ON TWITTER. WE STOPPED RANTING THAT IT WAS “ABOUT A DIALOGUE” AND STARTED TALKING ABOUT CO- CREATION, CROWDSOURCING AND UNPAID ARMIES. AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR A SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY. 10
  • 17. My job is to OUR GOALS: think past mere communication. To get my INTERACT. clients’ customers to interact with our SHARE. content. To share it with their friends. To get them off GET OFF their asses and get them to DO something. Join a loyalty club. YOUR ASS. Show up at a company event. Choose us at retail. 17
  • 18. IN OTHER WORDS: ENGAGEMENT. INFLUENCE. ACTIVATION. Rather than a “social media strategy,” we need an Engagement Strategy. An Influence Strategy. An Activation Strategy. Focused around our clients’ end business goals, not media specialties! Srsly. 18
  • 19. REIMAGINING OUR APPROACH STUDY/ PLAN LISTEN PUBLISH ENGAGE INFLUENCE ACTIVATE Too many companies approach social from a Publishing mindset. We recommend rethinking marketing using a MIX of traditional and social, in the context of Engagement, Influence & Activation. An activated customer spends more, shares more and cares more. It’s a harder creative challenge but a better one. CREATIVE CHALLENGE REVENUE POTENTIAL
  • 20. 36,053 PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED TO LEAVING FACEBOOK ON “QUIT FACEBOOK DAY” (MAY 31) NEW USERS WHO JOINED THAT DAY ANYWAY 794,000 (GIVE OR TAKE A FEW THOUSAND) HUMOROUS ASIDE: On May 31, 2010, 36,000 people were activated to quit Facebook. Ironically, that same day, another 794,000 were activated to join Facebook anyway. 20
  • 21. We’ve seen incredible success DDB IS for our clients using a blend of traditional and social media. FOCUSING EXAMPLE: DDB Canada was asked to build a ON A traditional media campaign for Knorr’s Sidekicks® BLENDED low-sodium packaged meal product. We created a APPROACH character, Salty, who was no longer needed at the dinner table. 21
  • 22. Once we had started the conversation through traditional media, we then brought Salty to life through social. 22
  • 23. Our Radar DDB Cultivation Team engaged with consumers in character, on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and elsewhere. Visitors were encouraged (and activated) to participate with Salty through activities like photo contests. 23
  • 24. Through the social sites, Salty could come to life and engage with consumers, who would use their influence to forward, fan and like him. 24
  • 25. Even teenagers surfing ChatRoulette were stunned to find they were chatting with salt and pepper shakers, instead of some random shirtless dude. Surprise! 25
  • 26. We got traditional press as well as lots of blogger pickup, and our cultivation team engaged with these bloggers to stretch our reach and influence further. Let’s take a look at another traditional commercial that followed after the initial Salty creative.
  • 27. We encouraged user-generated content. Consumers started uploading videos of their kids interacting with the salt and pepper shakers, some getting thousands of views.
  • 28. People enthusiastically submitted photos in our photo contests. And then shared those photos with friends.
