USING EXISTING PLATFORMS
BUT BEWARE
BUILDING YOUR OWN
BREAK

platform approach for you?

TEAM WORK
- How involving is your product? - Are there subjects around your
product that are involving? - Which strategy or strategies
would be relevant for you? - Can you think of any way to
act upon this strategy (a concept)?
HOW TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSIS
EXAMPLES
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSISWe are not sufficiently visible on search engines
Create conversation on an internal platform
when people are already involved in the subject
Build a Q&A functionality into the existing
information website
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSISOur target group is
extremely difficult to reach with regular
media
Use an external platform to make our customers share their experiences with our
highly involving product
Start a Facebook-page and an Instagram
profile. Use hash tags. Encourage people to
share videos and photos
GUIDING POLICY COHERENT ACTIONDIAGNOSISWe are a fairly unknown
start-up business without a big marketing
budget
Use our existing customer service to listen and participate
and create surprisingly good customer
experiences
Buy a social media listening tool and
educate your service reps to go the extra
mile
LET’S COMPLICATE THINGS A LITTLE
Problem
Analysis
Insight
Guiding policy
Coherent action
PROBLEM
TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING FOR THE PUBLISHING HOUSE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY INEFFECTIVE. PEOPLE DO NOT BUY
BOOKS BECAUSE OF A PRINT AD IN “WEEKEND-AVISEN BØGER”, BUT MORE AND MORE BECAUSE OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
FRIENDS - VERY OFTEN IN SOCIAL MEDIA.
ANALYSIS
OUR METRICS TOOL REVEALS THAT WE HAVE RELATIVELY FEW VISITORS ON OUR WEBSITE AND ONLINE SURVEYS
SHOW THAT IT IS AUTHORS AND NOT READERS WHO VISIT OUR WEBSITE.
INSIGHT
READERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT PUBLISHERS - THEY CARE ABOUT AUTHORS AND BOOKS!
GUIDING POLICY
BOOKS AND AUTHORS SHOULD BE THE STARTING POINT FOR CREATING INVOLVEMENT WITH READERS
(IF WE GET THEM INVOLVED, THEY WILL START TALKING ABOUT BOOKS AND AUTHORS AND IF THIS HAPPENS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WE WILL
BECOME PART OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA CONVERSATION)
COHERENT ACTION
CREATE LINKS BETWEEN BOOKS AND THE DIGITAL WORLD
TRAIN AUTHORS IN THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
GIVE AUTHORS TOOLS TO EFFECTIVELY USE SOCIAL MEDIA

5 ORGANIZATIONAL MUSTS
INVOLVE THE TOP MANAGEMENT
You don’t want a CEO blog, but you want a management that is deeply engaged in
social media initiatives
CREATE A STEERING GROUP
The steering group should involve all relevant functions in the organization: •Management •HR •Communications/PR •Marketing •IT •Innovation departments •Product development
REGULAR FOLLOW-UPS
Re-visit the strategy at least monthly but preferably by-weekly
CREATE TANGIBLE BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
You need to know what you are aiming at and why it has significance for your
business
ESTABLISH KPI’S
You need to know how to measure the attainment of your business objectives.
