So what’s expected of us as communicators ...
We have to deliver:
• More with less – Reduced team/resources
– Less investment
– Same team, same skills
• New skills required – Social media expertise
– Corporate social responsibility now core
– Greater business return on investment
– Hard factual measures
– Employee engagement with new world, new strategies
Risks & challenges:
• Recruitment market beginning to move – Good people stayed because of uncertainty, now want to move for opportunity & value
– Those who stick may not be best quality
Be (Seen) Innovative – But Please Don’t Take Any Risk, Use Only Proven Methods

Online engagement? Accept the customer’s perspective – and attitude!
[Brands] have to surprise me, not only meet my needs, but anticipate my needs. By using social media exclusively, I think the company has to
answer me whenever I have a question, enlighten me whenever I complain, and thank me whenever I compliment them.

Nestlé
unwillingly
put public
attention to
Greenpeace's
video
campaign
Activists
change their
profile
photos to
anti-Nestlé
slogans and
start posting
to the Nestlé
fan page
Nestlé: “To repeat: we
welcome your
comments, but please
don't post using an
altered version of any
of our logos as your
profile pic--they will be
deleted”
Now it even went worse with all
kinds of criticism, allegations
and simple insults being
posted (e.g. bottled water
dispute in the US, “killing
babies”…)
Key learnings:
Control? Don't use
lawyers to take
things off the
Internet
Admit it, stop it,
and apologize.
FAST!
Customers
criticizing you are
telling you
something very
valuable
What are your
Rules of Engagement?
A crisis response protocol?
How fast can you react?
Who decides?

Domino’s YouTube Experience – What would YOU do?
• Domino’s Pizza Chain discovered the power of viral marketing last month: two employees in the US filmed "prank" videos of themselves stuffing cheese up their noses and then putting it into sandwiches.
• The video went popular on YouTube (over 1 million views), and Twitter lit up with disgusted customer complaints.
• Domino’s apologized and put its own President on YouTube, started a Twitter response site;
• Still: In just a few days, Domino’s reputation was damaged.
Who in YOUR company would go on Youtube?
What to wear? What to say?
Who to talk to? Are you ready?
Nobody will wait for you…!
