DESCRIPTION
Good ‘Social Media planning’ isn’t Marketing at all. Or, more to the point, the campaigns and content that work best aren’t Marketing with a capital ‘M.’ They’re support pieces, tools, widgets, and direct conversations with customers – things that genuinely HELP people or provide interest other than ‘Oh WOW, isn’t that wonderful / funny / creative / thought provoking.’

• AKA the anti-Gladwell theory
• A virus is also an illness
• Our goal is to gain strong, frictionless distribution of brand messages
• ...by targeting those ‘influencers’ most likely to pass messages onwards
• This is more about strong tactics than radical ‘creatives’
• Most importantly, research is king
• We need:
• Strong understanding of the target channels: Twitter, etc
• Strong understanding of publishing platforms: Wordpress, Disqus, tubemogul. etc
• Strong understanding of our audience targets and their ‘Social’ behaviour
• Strong understanding of content, topics and trends
• Then we implement our ideas
• This is a far more cost effective way of working than boardroom ‘ideation’, sunk creative costs (e.g. natty videos / pretty straplines) and crossing our fingers, spray and pray! (i.e. the potential ‘illness’ of a poorly researched, but brilliantly ‘creative’ campaign)
