I work here.

But lets start with this.If you need to hear a presentation that says “Get Seriousabout Social Networks” in order to get serious, you’reprobably destined to dip a toe in, use most of the same
techniques you’ve always used, have an unrealistic set ofexpectations and not enough investment.
In short, if you need to hear about how you need to getserious about social networks, you’re not serious about
social networks.

Success here isn’t aboutspending big dollars orhow massive your brandis necessarily. It’s a
measure of whether ornot people care aboutyou. For anyone spendingdecades paying foraudiences, it’s hard to
actually earn it.

The Difficulty of Doing
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 11/80
Just Act NaturalNow that we know
messaging doesn’t work,we often get caught up
in trying to just be apart of the space.
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 12/80
Naturally Insignificant brands.Don’t be too natural. Understand thevalues, yes, but the goal should be towork in the extreme. To be decidedly
unnatural. Difference kills indifference.

The First Mover CaveatThe only potential caveat is when
you’re freshly moving into anunbranded space. In those rare
moments, acting natural is beingdifferent.

What do you meanby social strategy?

Facebook has 500,000,000 users
YouTube is the 2nd largest searchengine
Twitter is a primary starting point forbrand conversation

Water cooler talks have very little todo with what happens in and around
the water cooler. What do you mean by social?
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 20/80
Is CNN social media?Is CBC, NBC or CBS social media?Are you social media?
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 21/80
Lets get some stuff straight.Making a Facebook page isn’t a
strategy. Copying links to your owncontent on Twitter isn’t a strategy.
Hiring a community manager isn’t astrategy. Nor is adding like buttons to
your home page.

What about the organization?Is it a marketing issue? Public relations?Human resources? Or a bit of all of it?
Just considering that has a huge effect on
the organization itself. Not just who ismanaging it – but what are our legal
obligations? What role do employees play?What about their personal accounts?

The NetworkedAudience
A shift from classic individual decision-making to group dynamics
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 24/80
There is no such thing as an unnetworked audience.Everyone is networked and has always been networked.
We just never really thought of them that way. What do you mean by networked audiences?
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 25/80
In the advertising world, we tend to speak infunctions and stereotypes, neither of which are allthat helpful when approaching these audiences.
We always assume that decisions areindividual and rational.

fossilized ways of seeing and talking about themselves,their business and, more importantly, their consumers.”Morgan Gerard

The AudienceOr all the stuff we’re figuring out now– to get all psychological for a bit
“Our more instinctual selves are
8/6/2019 Magazines Canada Conference Presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/magazines-canada-conference-presentation 30/80
Our more instinctual selves aremuch more refined by time and
natural selection. Its the rationalthats new. So while natural
selection is still working out howto make the rational bits workbetter, our emotional bits are
much more fine-tuned.
Jonah Lehrer
We dont know whereinstinctual stops and
rational begins.

The Argumentative Theory "We do all these irrational things, and despite
mounting results, people are not really changing theirbasic assumption. They are not challenging the basic
idea that reasoning is for individual purposes. The
premise is that reasoning should help us make betterdecisions, get at better beliefs. And if you start fromthis premise, then it follows that reasoning should
help us deal with logical problems and it should help
us understand statistics. But reasoning doesn't do allthese things, or it does all these things very, very
poorly."

These increasingly transparent social dynamics areproving again and again that commonalities in values,
language and associations create connections.Being in the in-group matters most.

Finding purpose."I think many people assume, wrongly, that a
company exists simply to make money. While this isan important result of a company's existence, we
have to go deeper and find the real reasons for ourbeing.”

Finding purpose.“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you
do it. And if you talk about what you believe you willattract those who believe what you believe.”
