Understanding that a one-size-fits-all strategy does not work, and the growing social influence of the digital mom, is a critical step for marketers in a changing media landscape.

What is social media?
Social media describes the online technologies and
practices that people use to share opinions, insights,
experiences, and perspectives with each other
(Wikipedia 2007)
It allows everyone to have conversations 365 days a
year, 24 hours a day. They can talk about anything and
everything and not be bound to geography or time

But advertisers struggle
Advertisers know how to broadcast their messages (ONE WAY),
and they have figured out how to interact via the web. BUT
BUY BUY BUY BUY
![Page 9: Digitalmomsconferenceshesconnectedjune32010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556cbdbd8b42abb428b5482/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Having a conversation is very different
It is give and take, listen and respond, ask questions,
acknowledge different points of view…
![Page 10: Digitalmomsconferenceshesconnectedjune32010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556cbdbd8b42abb428b5482/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
For most Brands the closest
thing to this is their call
center

93% of social media users believe a
company should have a presence in
social media
85% of social media users believe that
a company should go further than just
having a presence on social sites and
should also interact with its customers.

I’d love
to try that
I wish they
would just
talk to me!

I told all
my friends
I’ve tried to
contact them
six times!Can
you
recomm You
have to
try this!
It was
Awesome!
Did you.. How
do I find?
She
told me
to try...
But companies have to participate at
the speed of conversation
365 days a year, 24 hours a day…
![Page 13: Digitalmomsconferenceshesconnectedjune32010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556cbdbd8b42abb428b5482/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But what happens when somebody says
something negative?
The old approach won’t work!
![Page 14: Digitalmomsconferenceshesconnectedjune32010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556cbdbd8b42abb428b5482/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What does this mean for a brand?
• What happens if negative
conversations occur?
• How can we possibly manage
all of the conversations?
• How much is this going to
cost us?
• What skills are needed to be
effective?
• Can my agency just do all
this for me?
• How can this drive business
results?
Concerns
Brands know that social media is not going away
and they have to get involved in the conversations,
BUT they have concerns…
• Those conversations can and do happen, would you rather be
involved in the conversation, or mute to it?
• There are tools and business processes that enable you to engage
efficiently and effectively in the conversations
• The cost is easily managed and can scale up or down in proportion to
the value it creates.
• It requires a new skill set. To effectively engage in the conversations,
you need to have a community management function. This function
is a hybrid of PR, Marketing, Customer Service, Product
Development, and Competitive Intelligence.
• Agencies are great at the concept development, and creative
execution. Managing communities are a bit more tricky, Agency
business models may also make it cost prohibitive for brands.
• Business results can definitely be measured and quantified, but it
requires some new metrics, and measurement methods.
Things to consider
![Page 15: Digitalmomsconferenceshesconnectedjune32010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556cbdbd8b42abb428b5482/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Top marketing priorities for 2010 for are
Social Networks/applications top of the list.
BUT what’s missing?
Being in the conversation!
![Page 16: Digitalmomsconferenceshesconnectedjune32010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556cbdbd8b42abb428b5482/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Call it conversation management,
community management, or make up
another name….
Brands need the technology, business
processes, and people to participate in
social media at the speed of conversation.
Let’s use the term “Community
Management” for now. What does a
community manager do?

Community Management is the “oil”
that makes the whole thing work!
