social media: defined


What is social media anyway?
tools                                              trend
                                                   how people use decentralized,
                                                   people-based networks to
                     del.icio.us                   get the things they need
                                                   from each other.


Bottom Line: social media isn’t just a list of destinations.
             it’s a new standard of expectiations.
it’s part of how our expectations — our very culture — is shifting.


People are taking a new “tac”:

                          the vast majority of people report the opinion they trust
   t         trust        most is one from “someone like me.” For the first time in
                          our history, peers have bested the wisdom of experts.

                          no matter how unusual, or obscure the topic, we want — we
   a        access        expect — to be able to find information on it. and not just
                          information, but details, perspectives, and context.

                          it’s all about how we enter that decision-making situation.
   c     confidence       We are unwilling to go unarmed, to be at the mercy of
                          the expert on the other side of the table.
today’s 16- to 24-year-olds have even higher demands.

growing up online has shaped how teens and young adults receive,
process, and act on information. they expect communication to be:


     Brief              they send one billion text messages each day.



    instant             they don’t even remember B.g. (Before google)



  always on             there are no office hours when you’re always connected.

how We use it

Social media has reached critical mass
• 206 million Americans used the social web in 2008
• the most popular Youtube videos have a wider audience than
  the most-watched Super Bowls

It’s not just for communicating with potential students
• 75% of college students use the social web, but so do 60% of the
  wired wealthy
• Facebook’s fastest-growing population is 50+, followed closely
  by the 41–45 age group
• the average twitter user is 31
hoW colleges

colleges and universities have been early adopters of social media.

For example, americas colleges out-blog the business world:

                                      2007                2008


 Fortune 500 companies                8%                 13%


 inc. 500 companies                   19%                39%


 colleges and universities           32%                41%
they use a broad range of tools and tactics

85% of college admissions offices report they use at least
one form of social media:

                61%      Social networking
                48%      Video blogging
                41%      Blogging
                36%      Message boards
                16%      Podcasts
                10%      Wikis

What else: Private schools have been much faster to adopt social
communications than public schools.
                                                                   (umass, 2009)

the Problem:




colleges — and, most businesses — are quick to
test tactics, but aren’t taking a larger strategic view
• so most are doomed to underperform

• or worse: cnet estimated that 50% of social media campaigns
  launched by Fortune 100 companies this year will fail

Why do colleges and universities invest in social media?

For many of the same reasons they invest in more traditional
marketing and advertising:

1 Build a Community

                      let your audience support and connect
                      with each other.

                      Pros:
                      • Very authentic way to use the social web
                      • inexpensive to operate and can reduce costs

                      Cons:
                      • takes a lot of work to seed and build
                      • the crowd can turn on you if you’re
                        unresponsive

                      Make sure you:
                      • set expectations: What does success
                        look like?
1 Build a Community: Best Buy’s Blue shirt nation

• connects tens of thousands of employees
• in a forum to talk to and support one another
• Where they can solve problems, share ideas, archive solutions,
  build a whole new kind of interconnected culture
• and just be people — who make jokes, have
  complaints, dig new things

Who else is doing it:
• TiVo customers solve each other’s technical problems
• Victoria’s Secret Pink fans on facebook vote and
  chat together
• doylestown hospital connects its mobile workforce of 360
  independent physicians via an iPhone application to provide
  a highly responsive healing environment for thousands
  of patients
1 Build a Community: sunY new Paltz


• started with a defined goal: increase the
  academic quality of the incoming fall class

• created a tiered invitation system: First build
  relationships with the students we want most;
  then open it up to the entire class

• dedicated two people to act as hosts and
  update content

• delivered results: increased the percent of their
  “highest selectivity” group that made deposits
  from 30% to 37%

• gave accepted students compelling reasons to
  spend time on the site. an average visit: nearly
  14 minutes.
1 Build a Community: executing the strategy


execution must-have:
Make it easy
 • Be as creative with technology
   as you are with strategy

 • leverage the tools your
   audience already uses

 • don’t ask people to do more
   than they need to

2 Energize Passionate People

                               it’s about inspiring individuals to carry your message
                               into the places they talk, connect, and create.

                               Pros:
                               • Builds relationships with influencers
                               • gets real people talking one-to-one

                               Cons:
                               • scale is limited to personal networks
                               • more difficult to listen to the conversation about
                                 your brand because it is widely dispersed

                               Make sure you:
                               • encourage fans to be transparent about any
                                 direct contact they have with you, samples
                                 they receive, and so on

                             is also one of the best: give people
