Let’s start with a few questions?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Social Media: The State of Play
Where are sports marketing organisations (SMO) with social media?
What progress has been made?
Where are they going?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
What road are they on?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Our View on Progress Made
Interest and enthusiasm has grown rapidly
Channels are being set up
But lack of strategic planning leads to problems down the line - resourcing, content, customers, performance measurement, business impact and ROI
A broadcast mentality prevails…….
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Is there something fundamentally wrong with our approach to
Social Media?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Something Wrong…..
Are we using social media as just another PR/marketing channel for broadcasting messages AT customers telling them how good we are?
Is anyone listening anymore?
Have the rules of businesschanged?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Be Social
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Be ‘Customer Led’
Talking WITH rather than AT your customers is the core foundation of a successful social media strategy
The basis of a good conversation is to listen first

From Tripadvisor
• It's getting old, the rooms are unappealing and it will never be more than a business hotel
• Being a Sofitel hotel we expected something quite 'flashy' unfortunately we were let down. The rooms, although comfortable and clean, were not of the standard we expected and were definately not what we expected after looking at the photos on the hotel's website.
• Booking my stay via the Sofitel website after a pleasant experience at several other Sofitel locations over the past 2 years with my new job I was looking forward to a 5 star luxury stay after a stressful business trip. My expectations were reasonable, however certainly not met by this hotel

Is fan engagement enough?
What about fan ownership?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Fan Ownership?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Crowd Power
• The ‘crowdsourcing’ movement - could this help to break down barriers to fan ownership of clubs?
• ‘Crowdfunding’ is the collective cooperation, attention and trust by people who network and pool their money and other resources together, usually via the Internet, to support a ‘common cause’. Why can’t football clubs be funded this way through an online community membership scheme?
• ‘Crowdsourcing’ could also provide a solution for decentralised, democratic fan control
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Crowd Power
• Rather than a decision-making structure where total power lies with a small wealthy elite, in a crowdsourcing model power would lie with the community (or crowd)
• Mass collaboration, rather than leading to anarchy, will often result in better decision-making building on the collective intelligence of the crowd.
• Why does control have to be in the hands of a small number of oligarchs when the collective intelligence of the masses will always be greater than that of the few?
