Step by Step Social Media

You probably already know a little of Facebook, Twitter and social bookmarking. In this one-day course you’ll get a real taste of the marketing power of the new Social Media campaigns: creating managing and distributing social content through online communities. We’ll look at case studies of customers engaging with companies on social media sites and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of various social media tools. An interesting day spent exploring a dynamic and challenging area. No technical or prior knowledge required.

Content
What is Social Media? and how does social media marketing compare to traditional marketing? Do you know the difference between a social media strategy and a social media campaign? What are the must-do steps of a successful campaign using Facebook, Twitter and other social networking tools?

The use of social networking tools has grown over the last 5 or 6 years to the extent that not only will we investigate Return on Investment (ROI) of marketing dollars in online media but also examine the Cost of Inaction (COI) of not being involved. By becoming familiar with case studies, statistics, influencer monitoring and measurement, marketing professionals can maximisie their online engagement with customers.

We specifically look at Listening and Monitoring, Creating Social Content, Blogger Outreach and Social Media Press Releases, Promotional Tools and Measurement. There are also opportunities to bring your questions

I spoke at Media140  Sydney – I want to highlight some of the “arguments” used against social media by the panels, also focus on Everybody co-creating The Human Narrative and the diminishing role of journalists who take news from one part  of the community and deliver it to another part:  It’s not YOUR content. It’s our content. Our stories. We didn’t give you the Human Story, we loaned it to you, and now we’re taking it back. Such an odd day – I couldn’t seem to get my feet under me at Media140 Sydney. Journalists kept coming up with the Continue Reading…
