- 5. Sport and social media: A match made in heaven? Sport, at all levels, is inherently social. social media provides a virtual gathering place that's open all day, every day Sport fans are attentive and responsive. They want to be part of the experience. Brands would kill for such a loyal, passionate and active audience. Unprecedented access and insight into the working of professional sport. Fan interacting 1.0 to fan interacting 2.0 Marketing the experience, not the brand. User generated content. Sports journalism. (Two-Way). 83% of sports fans are active on social media platforms when watching a game on TV. #SportAndSocial

Notas del editor
- My initial thoughts on “What is our social media strategy?” was that it was just “Do what seems right at the time”Fortunately on thinking about it, I realised it’s not that haphazard, we do have a strategy in terms of how we decide what is right, even if it’s not a written document….
- Intro to scottishathletics and jogscotland.When I arrived 3 months ago we had 4 social sites in varying stages of use/developmentScottish Athletics facebook – was being well-used by Peter Jardine – regular news and pics going up.Scottishathletics twitter – hardly used at all, just auto-tweeting what went on fbJogscotlandfacebook and twitter – used a bit, just fitted in by staff in between their other jobs.
- I was arriving just before the Olympics, so had to act fast – it was going to be a really important time for us.
- Had some basic aims – not just to get everyone talking, but to have a concrete effect in the real world too.
- Let people know things were changing, and then started experimenting – because there’s no such thing as an off-the-shelf social media strategy. Every audience is different, every platform is different. You have to find out what works.
- Some simple notes on what makes good Tweeting – everyone here will know this, so will skip over it quite quickly…
- Ditto facebook – but this was a bit of an open book for me. I was used to using it personally, but hadn’t used much of it on pages, and didn’t know what was going to work for our audiences.
- Don’t have time to look at all 4 sites, so I’ll look at scottishathleticsfb and jogscotland twitter.What we’ve found out works on scottishathleticsfb:Olympics and Paralympics were great for us – lots of excitement and traffic around our 5 athletes and 2 para athletes. Didn’t even necessarily need exclusive content: We didn’t have direct access to athletes during games, but if we were quick, we could transcribe and post what they said to the BBC, and be quick with putting up their results, and people would jump on it. Folk were excited and wanting to express their excitement, so they came our way and interacted with these kinds of posts.Jess Ennis – raises the issue of whether you put up things that are popular, or things that are relevant: JE not Scottish, so not a typical post for us. But was justifiable at the time because everyone who’s interested in athletics was talking/thinking about Super Saturday at the time. In the long-term, don’t want to dilute page with lots of athletes from other countries, but occasionally it’s fine.
- We’re not just dealing with the elite athletes – even if you only get half a dozen likes on something about a youngster who’s done well, that’s recognition for them and will be important for them and their family… a good way to make them feel appreciated and encourage them to stay in the sport, which his important for the future of the sport.
- Same is true of events. Most of our athletes aren’t appearing on TV; they’re not at the Olympics or becoming national heroes. But by posting pictures and results from events at all levels, we can give them an audience; make them feel as if what they’re doing matters and the world is watching and appreciating their hard work.
- In-depth discussion doesn’t really take off on facebook. To be fair, despite this illustration it’s not really because of apathy – we know a lot of people care passionately about athletics in Scotland. I think it’s because people don’t tend to come to facebook for intense discussion; they come for entertainment, socialising, information – nothing too heavy.Also, fb posts are tied to people’s identity, so they can be reluctant to stick their head above the parapet/say anything controversial.
- What works for jogscotland Twitter: A very different voice to Scot Athletics – much more informal. Give people encouragement, be friendly and fun.
- Brilliant for one-to-one relationships. Here’s an example of a relationship struck up over Twitter, this is an anonymous Tweeter who was (in her own words) “a very overweight 40 year old” who had decided to start exercising, but wasn’t telling any of her friends/colleagues because she was so embarrassed. Was just tweeting/blogging it anonymously.
- …she was too shy/embarrassed to join jogscotland. We encouraged her very gently on Twitter, left the door open…
- …and eventually she signed up….so delighted. Kept encouraging her…
- …and she loved it.A real lesson for us – with social media, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing big numbers and just trying to increase your followers etc. This was a reminder that sometimes a quality interaction with just one person can be hugely important; you can change someone’s life.
- Things to do in future…
- Follower numbers on the rise…
- But it’s also having an effect IRL - we had a huge boost in numbers signing up for the age groups; not just the Olympic bounce; also due to us putting out regular reminders on fb/twitter that people should sign up.
- And it’s working for jogscotland, not just in quantity but quality – a final word from A Race For My Life – she still runs, and loves it.
- My revised strategy: Find out what works. Do more of it.Because social is evolving so fast, a fixed-in-stone strategy is not necessarily the best - you need to be able to adapt it constantly. What works now might not work in six months. This is especially true for us because it’s early days for us. We’ve only 2 members of staff and we are still experimenting and being flexible; it might be that further down the line we’ll want a written strategy but right now we’re still figuring out what works best for us and building on that.
