Don’t fail - be strategic insteadFail fast =quit and give up easy =spaghetti against the wall =no clear strategy going into your business =no ability / willingness to try and pivot as market conditions change =easy way out =today’s management mantra that will be laughed at in 10 years.

Consumers are not in controlThe overheated rhetoric acts as a deceptive rationalization.We marketers have far more control than we let on.We buy the media, make the product, write the message, pick the messaging platform, select the suppliers, and hire the employees who ultimately do all the above.

How to succeed with Twitter• Build a follower base

- The bigger the better - think Duncan Watts’ “Big Seed”- Promoted accounts have stickier follows

• Publish organic and promoted tweets- Engage with consumers naturally- Promoted tweets don’t spur unfollow lift and show 3 - 5%

engagement • Plan ahead with a promoted trend

- High visibility, high traffic

Social business by design• Don’t fail by

making stupid mistakes - plan holistically

• Remember that brands have control - you make the market

• Social networks have critical mass - you need a integrated media plan
