What is Social Media?  At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in how people  discover, read and share news, information and content. It’s a  fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one  to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization  of information, transforming people from content readers into  publishers. Social media has become extremely popular because it  allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships  for personal, political and business use. Businesses also refer to  social media as user-generated content (UGC).							Source: Wikipedia
What is a place brand? The sum of all the characteristics, tangible and intangible, that make a development, city, state, or region unique.
How Social Media Can Help You Build a Place Brand
How Social Media can help you build a place brand It is a new channel for people to discover, read, and share information about your community.   It can foster “many to many” dialogues about the most important issues and assets in your community.  It can transform your board members, community advocates, and ordinary citizens into marketers (or critics) It facilitates relationships around information, issues, and assets in your community quickly, transparently, and flexibly.
Question:  What are the things that are central to your brand? The heritage, reputation, and attributes of your community itself The heritage and reputation of your organization The information you have at the ready to tell a favorable story about your community relative to other locations The capability of your staff to be proactive and professional  The network of influencers you have in your community that can mobilize around business expansion or retention
Which of these can’t be enhanced by a strong Social Media program? None!

Appropriate Goals for Brand Building Using Social Media
Recommended Goals Generate new prospect and investor inquiries Engage current prospects, stakeholders, investors, and the general public in economic development Move important community investment decisions forward Grow the reach of your organization by building your fan, follower, friend, web traffic, and connections base
What about negative comments? Building a brand using social media doesn’t create negative press. It you to manage and engage with that press. After much criticism for poor customer service, the direct-sell computer  company earned the rather unfortunate moniker “Dell Hell.” (Googling the term  results in a long list of links largely tied to customer dissatisfaction.) In response  to this, Dell executives worked to improve customer relations and actively join in  the conversation. Dell has even developed the property IdeaStorm—a  community driven forum in which customers are invited to note problems, share  suggestions with the company, and even assist fellow customers. Since then,  some past critics have praised the company for their improvements and negative  blog posts about the company have purportedly dropped from 49% to 22%. Read more
Action Steps to Build a Brand Using Social Media
Step 1:  Create an online persona for your brand What are the attributes of your community itself?  Great technology community?  Low cost?  Business friendly?  Outstanding companies?   What is the heritage and reputation of your organization?  Have you made big deals happen?  Have you led some big wins? What information do you have that others don’t have?  What are you expert in?  Is your staff proactive and professional?  How can you show that? Who is in your network?  How do they fit in to your community’s persona?
Step 2:  Pay off your persona with real content.  Take your community’s best attributes and seed or join the communities that have already formed around them.  If your organization is a long time leader – act like it.  Be authoritative.  If you are an upstart, talk about things that push the envelope.  Make all the information that you have that is legal to share completely available on your website.   Make a big deal on social media of releasing it.   Set a calendar to do so.  Engage key staff members whose work can be made more efficient by social media to participate.  Have them own key areas of your persona.  Do the same thing with your network, including innovators, CEOs, and others who can own something valuable.
Step 3:  Create reasons to engage/comment Be relevant – always tying back to how your persona meets the needs of your audiences: Be timely – don’t be the last one to post or comment on an important community issue.  Be the first.  Be different – take positions that only you can take.  Augment them with information only you have.  Be edgy, open, conversational – this is what people expect.  After all, they are relating to a persona now.
Step 4:  Give away real value that can be consumed or forwarded Inside information Customized research Tidbits from meetings Stories from the road Legislative updates Official positions
