2. A Note from Jamie Turner
• Not long ago, I wrote an article for Mashable called
“Understanding the Social Media ROI Cycle”
• It generated quite a stir, so I created this unbranded
PowerPoint so you can use it in your presentations
• Please feel free to share, forward to friends, re-purpose
or use as you wish
• All I request is that you provide attribution for the
original source (that’d be me, folks)

3. The Social Media ROI Cycle
• After analyzing various corporations, I realized that the
adoption of social media happens in three distinct
stages
• Stage 1: Launch
• Stage 2: Management
• Stage 3: Optimization

4. The Social Media ROI Cycle
• I’ve created two options for you
• The first option is a single PowerPoint page that can
explain the Social Media ROI Cycle in one slide
• The second option are several PowerPoint pages that
explain the Social Media ROI Cycle in multiple slides
