- 19. Top 10 tips for social storytelling 1. Customer comments/actions will guide good story ideas • What are customers doing and saying now? Expand on that. • Even negative comments can inspire ideas. 2. Social stories are often non-linear • You may have to work hard to maintain a consistent thread and story arc; people in social spaces are ADD. • People will pop in and out; look for ways to pull them back in. 3. Stories should be both structured and improvisational • Create a plan, but know some of it will change. • Pay attention to what people like and do more of it. • Respond in the moment to create surprise and delight. • Set up parameters for spontaneity (particularly if you have a big team or inexperienced team members). #storytell #sxsw
- 20. Top 10 tips for social storytelling 4. Use each social media platform to its best advantage • Create stand-alone platform experiences that are enhanced by cross-platform participation. • You need team members who really know the platforms you’re using—technical expertise and community connections. 5. Give people something to do—and reward them • Build in incremental payoffs along the way. • People want to know how hard they’re going to work and what they’ll get for their time. 6. Highly visual • Tell your story in pictures as well as words. • You can even tell a story with just pictures or video. #storytell #sxsw
- 21. Top 10 tips for social storytelling 7. Focus on share-ability • Create moments that’ll make people want to spread your content. • Incorporate the right tools/apps for this (obvious and easy to use). 8. Use data to personalize the experience • Track what people like and what they say. • Gather social data via authentication and social sharing tools. 9. Track your biggest fans—pay it forward & give back • They’ll help seed your content and be your champions. • They might also be your test group. 10. No storytelling talent on your team? Get outside help—and develop internal team (may take awhile) • Hire experienced writers and storytellers for project work. • Enlist help of visual storytellers: filmmakers, photographers, graphic designers, etc. #storytell #sxsw

- Time Allotted – 1 minuteOffer a common definition, and take a look at 4 examples of storytelling in different stages of evolution.Where are you now? Stages of Evolution matrixThe Building Blocks of Telling a Social Marketing StoryOne of our Favorite ExamplesWorkbook review – we will NOT use every Worksheet in Here TodayThe Fun Part – Lightening Crowdsourced Storytelling Brainstorm. 5 minutes MAX per person, as many as we can get in
- Time Allotted: 1 minuteBe Kind FrieNDA – if you are so inclined, feel free to tweet out GOOD examples, but please do not call out brands by name if we use them as a “could be better” example.The TimeKeeper rules. We won’t intentionally be rude, but we did a run thru of this and discovered that there’s a lot to cover and 2.5 hours really isn’t that long to get thru it all. So we need to keep things moving.Questions are encouraged, but if they get too far off the topic, we will cut the discussion off. You can always grab me for a beer later on and share the rest of your thoughts. I love this kind of stuff and am happy to continue the conversation.If you need a bio-break before the break, take one. The break is scheduled at 90 minutes, or about the length of a movie.Have fun! This is a creative process. This can’t be as hands-on as we would have liked, but you’ll get out of it what you put into it.Say hi to Dawn – she’s the timekeeper. Grab me after the workshop or in email if you’d like.
- Up to 4 minutes allotted to define Storytelling, and Why/Make a Case for it.
- Class Goals (3 minutes)1. We want to share what we see. This is not a proof of concept – we’re here to try to convince you with a lot of data and science on WHY this is next evolutionary step. Social marketing will evolve this way whether you believe it will or not. Why is a fascinating question and we’re happy to discuss it with anyone after the workshop, but we have a lot of material to get thru, so we’re going to limit discussion or questions that go down that path.Goal 1: We’re here to share with you our experience, and some case studies of brands who are already going down this path.2. We’re also here to provide the tools to move your brand or clients down this path. You will notice a workbook at every chair. That’s yours to keep and you can fill it out while you’re here, or take it back to work and use it with your team. We know it’s not PC to print things out these days – but we did this for a reason. Consider using this workbook to be a transmedia experience. You are also free to improve upon the worksheets you see there, disregard or change them completely. We’re not saying that this is THE method to get you going down the storytelling – it’s A method. These are open source, so improve on them as you will, and share them when you can.3. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We hope the workshop gets you thinking creatively and strategically, and helps you take the first 10 steps or so down the storytelling path.
- Time Allotted: 20 minutes
- Can’t join the community without a VIN, Profile is in your MINI’s identity, not yoursOwner is an extension of the car – you track your car’s birth, manufacturing, shipping. The car goes on trips and logs miles, not youApple adapters, high performance engine, convertible, twin rear doors – all come out of community suggestionsNYC Artists, stories are around non-car experiences based on the type of people who buy MINI’s. (quirky, eclectic, smart)Even ads are customer centric – more about the person who buys a MINI, not features of the car. (will even highlight their flaws and promote them as a strength)
