OUR
APPROACH TO
SOCIAL MEDIA
Our approach to social media
    • Social media sits within the Cancer Research UK communications team, but works
      closely with the digital and brand teams
    • In some cases, specific products such as Race for Life have their own community
      managers
    • Integrated within all campaigns, from fundraising to lobbying to health and awareness
    • Long term view of social media allows for year on year campaign optimisation
    • Regular Social Media Managers Forum sessions – information sharing, co-ordination
    • Agencies brought on board for individual campaigns when necessary
    • 33Seconds is our retained social media agency and works on big campaigns like Race
      for Life and our annual brand campaign
    • New technology spotlight sessions delivered to Social Media Managers Forum by
      33Seconds
    • How this works in practice…

Race for Life 2012
    What is Race for Life
     • The UK’s largest women only fundraising event
     • 250 events nationwide
     • 18th year
    What were the key goals
     • Drive brand awareness (particularly around launch)
     • Drive race entries & supporter fundraising
    What we did:
       • Channelled enthusiasm and positive sentiment
       • 100k Interaction Challenge
       • Equipped the community with a set of tools to engage
       • Encouraged photo sharing & location specific
         engagement (Partnership with EyeEm)

       around the 2012 campaign launch

THE ANSWER IS
    PLAIN

2
The answer is plain…




11   Wednesday, 19 September 2012
     AdTech London
The answer is plain
A tough sell and a powerful opponent
 • It’s about protecting children
     • Government opened consultation on whether cigarettes
       should be sold in plain, standardised packaging
     • We needed to show the power of brands and explain that
       cigarettes are one brand our kids can live without
 • Primarily a social campaign
     • We worked across Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
     • We engaged bloggers and social advocates
     • Media spend allowed us to promote the video through
       seeding and Facebook ads
     • PR and social media “Baghead” stunt brought life to the
       campaign
 • Results
     • 257,000 video views
     • 79,000 petition signatures
     • More than 5,500 public mentions of the campaign on
       Twitter and in blogs (not including retweets)
     • 6 paper bags lit on fire by friends of the tobacco industry
 • Learnings
     • People who disagree will be the most vocal – be prepared!
     • Petitions need to be accessible via mobiles!

A new brand positioning and creative
treatment that lends itself to social media:
 What are we doing:
     • Utilising the new brand logo creative to embody the
       #CollectiveForce against cancer which the new logo
       represents

       content to reflect the coming together of the
       #CollectiveForce
     • Delivering this through innovative interactive image
       technology to progressively build the new logo from
       supporter contributions

STAND UP TO CANCER

Stand Up To Cancer




19   Wednesday, 19 September 2012
     AdTech London
Stand Up To Cancer
The Challenge: Create a massive social campaign and community in two months
 What is Stand Up To Cancer?
  • Massive US telethon
  • Brought to the UK this year as part of a partnership
    between CRUK and Channel 4
  • On air October 19th
 How do we get people on side?
  •    Coordinated push on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
  •    Targeted ad spend
  •    Support from current CRUK and C4 communities
  •    Famous faces
  •    Messages of hope
 How we’re doing so far
  • 51,000+ Facebook fans
  • 1,100 Twitter followers
  • 10,000 video views
 Challenges
  •    Lots of partners – CRUK, C4, US SU2C (sign off can take a while)
  •    Content – when the show hasn’t happened yet, you start to run out of content pretty quickly!
  •    Growing Twitter – Facebook growth can be complemented by ad spend but Twitter is more difficult
  •    Finding our own voice – tone must be different from CRUK, C4, US show, etc

Editor's Notes

  1. Learn how CRUK have used social media over the last 18 months to support key marketing initiatives and become the leading charity on social media in the UK.

  6. SHOW BRAND AD??RELEVANT RESPONSE: Insight into how we’re working in specific areasCancer informationSign postingA simple acknowledgementOther Main Campaign Objectives:Putting the work of CRUK ‘front of mind’ throughout the ‘Mass Media - DR’ brand campaign period – increasing sentiment and likelihood of donationDispel myths in terms of how our money is spent and the results we achieveDirect / signpost the community into the website to find out more, seek support, donate or fundraiseCounter negative brand perceptionsCreated a facebook landing tab which we promoted using sponsored stories and page post ads targeting our fans and friends of our fansThe 2011 Brand Campaign focused on loved ones, friends and relatives and their experience of someone close to them being diagnosed with, but ultimately surviving, cancer thanks to the work of Cancer Research UK. The social media element of the campaign focused on improving donation consideration amongst our existing social audience and their extended networks; by bringing the range, quality and impact of Cancer Research UK’s work to life in their Facebook newsfeeds. We achieved this by asking our existing social supporters (Facebook fans) to tell us their cancer story and by making a very public commitment to respond to each individually with either an impact statement, a message of support or recognition or sign-posting assistance.  By engaging with each fan’s post – CRUK was able to position a positive B2C statement in the newsfeeds of our supporters whilst also positioning a positive P2P endorsement of our brand in the newsfeeds of their friends. No mean feat! Rather than attempting a more overt traditional ‘direct’ fundraising ask – the hope was that we could create an integrated social media campaign which formed an extension of the main TV ad,working in tandem with both the on and offline paid direct response fundraising campaigns.
  7. RelevanceResponding to stories and signposting – involvingSimple powerful idea, but required, significant prep and a degree of risk… The community were engaged but the campaign had such an emotional impact on all staff involved it was deemed necessary to have a wrap up and debrief following the campaign
  8. *Live example of new brand creative – interactive image - - https://www.facebook.com/cancerresearchuk/app_491373477556901 As with other advertising channels we’ve applied knowledge and optimised the campaign from last yearUtilising the new brand logo creative to embody the new brand positioning: “For you, because of you, thanks to you”Presenting user generated content alongside brand content to reflect the coming together of the #CollectiveForceJust like last year it’s extremely important to the brand that we recognise our supporter contributions, and this year we wanted to do that in an innovative, creative wayUtilising innovative interactive image technology to progressively building the new logo from supporter contributionsDirecting user content contributions by giving them a series of social media asks designed to give our fans a reason to easily spread the word for us
  9. Thanks to our supporters, our social channels have come a long way in the last 18 months Five CRUK Facebook pages grew to more than 620,000 total fans, up from around 200,000 in May 2011Main @CR_UK Twitter account has grown from 18,000 followers to around 47,000Google+ page has seen huge growth in recent months with nearly 127,000 followersCancer Research UK came top of the Social Charity 100 index in September, 2011We came 4th (top charity) in a global index of brands who use social media, called the Social Brands 100
