DESCRIPTION
AUDIENCE: VPs and Directors of Marketing TOPICS: Trust, revenue, social media, and marketing approaches AUTHOR: Eric Weaver, Tribal DDB SYNOPSIS: There have been uncounted presentations on social media: where it's going, how we've become more connected and digital, why you need to be on Twitter, etc., etc. But none have really pointed to the Reason Why social media and social marketing have such wide adoption: because they demonstrate, build and spread TRUST. Trust is faltering across the board as we run into myriad social challenges. Can my school district truly keep my teenage daughter safe? Will this cop go completely over the top on me for jaywalking? Will my boss protect my family's income, or kick me to the curb to cut overhead? Will my doctor truly know if this is swine flu, or misdiagnose it? As massive pillars of trust begin to shake, those of us in the business of Selling Stuff need to recognize that trust is the essential driver of all business transactions, and in a world where trust is getting beaten up, our ability to be trusted is critical to keeping the doors open, let alone growing revenue. Marketers who may need help selling social channels in to a management team may find the premise as well as the statistics helpful.

Outbound mktg is a $1TT machine. Each niche = a full industry. We're rewarded for storytelling/ intrusion/repetition. Unchanged in 150 yrs.

Our customers, however, have changed. Maybe a lot, LOLZ.
2:34 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
Where'd they go? Consumers fled to social netwks where they could connect w/like minds on interesting subjects, free from commercialism.
82:35 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
For marketers, social netwks looked like a smorgasbord of opportune audiences. OOH YUMMEH!

Traditional ads in social netwks are like #amway salesmen showing up at a cocktail party. Not the right context, kids. #fail

So build a trust strategy. Consider where you are distrusted. Decide where you’d like to be. Then, steps to get there. Then execute.less than a minute ago - Comment - Like

MINIMIZE TRUST KILLERS: Don’t interrupt search. Be found/referred. Don’t talk abt ur value, demonstrate it.
2:51 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
REPRESENT! Demonstrate u know ur stuff, a vision for sector/mkt, that others took a chance & benefitted, that ur ethical, easy, trustworthy.
2:52 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
EMPOWER OTHERS TO SPREAD THEIR TRUST IN YOU. Give customers a voice. Amplify their words. Make value sharing effortless.
26
2:53 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
Look for and target ur organization’s trust soft-spots. Rebuild trust there. Demonstrate. Be real. Take fodder from conspiracy theorists.

2:55 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
BLOGGER ENGAGEMENT: set up engagement guardrails. When a post is positive, do you compliment, agree or ignore?
2:55 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
Negative posts: is it a rant, a joke or satire? Are there factual errors to correct? Do you fix a bad customer experience?
2:55 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
No matter what: be transparent, including links, be positive/strong, spellcheck, think abt public perception, and triage accordingly.

BOOMERS = propriety. Trained in formalities, don’t offend, guarded means safe, not so great with “random.” Suit & tie = trust.
2:57PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
GENS X&Y = affinity. Formalities ignored, sharing means finding, tech is easy, random is life. Consider your lens. Suit & tie = distrust.

Trust generated, money happened: blog, FB, YouTube to connect. Results: 2MM impressions, 2300 new accts, $4MM in new deposits. @YoungFreeAB

FINAL THOUGHTS: SocMed is SO NOT a fad. Google gave us search. SocMed gave us sharing, connecting. Won’t get taken away.
2:58 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
Social Media reflects that we are time-starved creatures trying to get our day back, rather than being shallow. Sharing = finding lk minds.
2:58 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
“One more thing for marketers to do”? More like engaging your market where they prefer to be. How’d that last trade show budget work out?
40
2:59 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
RECAP: Rethink your entire marketing approach from a prospective of trust and with a wider lens.
2:59 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
Build trust by being found, demonstrating your knowledge, your vision and your trustworthiness.
2:59 PM Sep 17 from PowerPoint
Finally, use social marketing to leverage the EXISTING TRUST already established between peers, rather than buying new trust.
