4. 1) Improve brand visibility
Social media channels are marketing channels.
Entertaining, useful and relevant content can be shared virally.
An old American insurance
company has over 338,000
Facebook fans
5. 2) Improve customer support
Social media provides new ways to engage with customers.
Go to where your customers already are in social media.
Best Buy empowered 100s of
employees to provide direct
customer support via Twitter
Dell has a social media
listening command
centre
7. 3) Avoid Dell Hell
Negative discussions can quickly escalate
out of control.
Being responsive in social media to
criticism can help rebuild and often
reinforce relationships.
In 2005 Dell was one of the first to get their
fingers burnt by a high profile blogger recording
a bad customer service call.
8. 4) Influence the conversation
Organizations no longer have complete
control of the message.
Open conversations are going in social
media.
By using social media monitoring
organizations can respond quickly and
guide the conversations in their favour.

groups.

10. OSKE’s outcome statements:
• Greater information sharing and
awareness building
• Cluster board meetings are far
more productive and innovative as
they can be prepared with online
communicating in Yammer and
Google documents.

community members have been
reduced significantly; this means
savings in time, money and
natural resources.
• The governance of the community
is much more easier than before;
OSKE Secretariat can contact over
200 people without any heavy
email sending, etc.
• Clusters and project participants
have been able to easily adapt the
platform for their individual
projects.

action when decisions need to be made.

6) Improve learning & innovation
12. Cost of Missed Opportunities
ROI is important, but it is also important to ask:
What is the cost of not doing it?
7) Improve competitiveness
13. Quick ROI
• Fast
• Simple
• Convenient
• Collaborative
• Customer friendly
• Much cheaper than
telephone-based
support
Web-based chat:
14. More than ever companies need a compelling story to
stand out from the crowd.
Innocent’s clear and likable
story allowed them to grow
rapidly and be bought by Coke.
8) Improve your story telling
•Why you are remarkable
•What you stand for
•Who you are
•What are your goals
•What you are doing
15. Tikkurila had over 70,000
views in just 2 days for this
150 year celebration video
staring its staff
9) Enhance recruitment strategy
Potential employees research your
company in social media: LinkedIn,
Facebook, YouTube, etc.
They will make judgements about
your company values, and how
nice it would be to work there.
16. Intel set up a Social Media Center of Excellence
and has enabled them to better connect local &
global information.
It has an active presence in Twitter, YouTube and
LinkedIn. And many internal collaboration
spaces, e.g.: Intelpedia (internal wikipedia),
internal blogs, internal micro blogging tools, and
an internal social network.
10) Improve your business strategy
The social media strategy should only be created
to support the overall business strategy.
Social media can be a catalyst to break down silos
and encourage an improved flow of information
cross an organization.
