people use social media 247. but most brands follow an ad-hoc approach. these brands do not create social value. their social marketing is too intrusive.
some time ago, i developed a model to cope with this. it explains how brands can be a structural part of social.
this presentation contains the updated version.i hope it inspires you to make marketing more meaningful. !ingmar de lange
part 1.the background
4
i started with a simple question.can brands turn one-night-stands into a relationship?
5
what i soon realized, is that the problem lies in the media part.
it is not about social media.social is more than communication, just like the internet is more than a medium.
it is about a social infrastructure.
6
while communication mostly has a short term, one-night-stand focus, this social infrastructure is something fundamental.
it has a 247 relevance.
because everything you do in life,you relate to others. always and everywhere.
what doother think? why do
they think this?
an example: you do not just buy products for their specs, you also look at their social value.
for whomis this?
how willit make me
look?
8
you can compare the social infrastructure with a freeway. brands mostly use it to advertise, not to drive.
9
lets change this.
part 2.the model
11
i collected cases of brands that use social 247.
i put their common characteristics on a grid.
13
the x-axis ranged from social media to social business.
in between these two, i found four main domains.
the y-axis ranged from brand-centric to user-centric.
please note: the model is not a funnel.
+
communication
the communication domain is about the media part of social.
18
most brands start with broadcasting (brand-centric).
this is easy to start, but hard to make successful. a brand needs to be newsworthy.

tip: do not post randomly.learn from reality tv and create an engaging story line.
however, social is more about responding (user-centric).
