Socializing Social Media within your company

Organizational and Educational tips

Page 32: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Make sure your social media programs are social - involve your entire company!

•Fans, followers, tweets, updates, FB apps, listening, brand channels, hashtags. It’s tempting to retain the mystique…

•Social media comes with lingo – which we need to demystify. If your organization doesn’t understand social media, they will not understand your social media success.

•Two ways to prepare your company: education and organization.

32

Page 33: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Organization•Consider ways to educate from the top down. If executives feel conversant in social media, they will telegraph positive impressions to their teams.

•We have a Marketing Leadership Council. From this, we created a Social Media Subcommittee.

•The subcommittee is: a group of senior executives who met monthly to learn more about social media programs at our company

•The subcommittee is not: a manager-level group with any approval or authority over social media marketing program rollout.

33

Page 34: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Organization: Social Media Subcommittee

• The Subcommittee was formed to give broad access to and information on our early social media efforts across the enterprise. Representatives from various Marketing groups, Human Resources, Legal, IT, Care Management and others meet to review new developments in the social media arena.

•This cross-functional social media subcommittee has provided guidance on the evolution of our social media efforts.

34

Page 35: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Organization: Social Media Subcommittee

•The types of things we shared at the subcommittee level:•Socialgraphics research•Social media campaign results•Annual social media strategy•Social media policies•Social Media “so what”

•The benefit: We don’t suffer from last minute road blocks nor do we have to deal with an audience that is ill-prepared for the innovative social media programs we are developing. We also have social media advocates across the organization, who feel a part of the growth of social media in the organization.

35

Page 36: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Organization: Your Subcommittee•Use your subcommittee to evangelize the “so what” behind social media.

•Think of this group as your (senior) social ambassadors, which is necessary for social to grow and prosper within your company.

36

Page 37: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Organization: Social Media - “So what…”

•Example of the ongoing social media “so what” information we share with our social media subcommittee.

•Brands are spending money on word-of-mouth and conversational marketing thus increasing the spend more rapidly than other forms of digital advertising

– In 2007 brands spent approximately $500 million on this type of marketing. By 2009 that number increased to $800 million and is projected to be at $3 billion by 2012

– Pepsi is spending $20+ million dollars on the social media component of “refresh everything” - forgoing Super Bowl exposure

Just an example of the sorts of information we share that shows social media is on on the center stage.

37

Page 38: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Organization: More Social Media – “So what”

•Social networks are measured differently than traditional media. Often impressions are replaced by what people did or felt, with emphasis on the “doing.”

• BestBuy measures 85% lower turnover as a result of its Blue Shirt community • State Farm measures its internal blog by the improvement in morale • ASPCA can track on-line donations and increased membership back to its social networking efforts• IBM receives more leads, sales and exposure from a $500 podcast than it does from an ad • Compaq Computer uses its own customers as its help desk, saving on staffing while increasing customer satisfaction• Lego lets its customers design and produce the MindStorms software, saving on development costs while drawing its customers closer to the brand• Our social media subcommittee can take these facts back to their teams

38

Page 39: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Education: Spreading the word•It’s tempting to keep social in a silo.

•There is a difference between managing social media marketing centrally and educating your employees on social media.

•We’re taken a centralized approach toward social media marketing (currently moving toward a hub and spoke model). However, we’ve gotten a lot of demand for social media education and we have developed educational programs to meet this demand.

39

Page 40: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Identifying groups and type of education necessary

• Socialized social media on the executive level through the social media subcommittee, but there are many levels that are ripe for education.

• We identified the right group of people to undergo education and training and then considered what sorts of things this group needed to learn about social media.

• We called the group the Social Media Center of Excellence which was aspirational at the beginning and then we identified the crucial components of social media that would comprise our education program.

40

Page 41: Healthcare Social Media Success Strategies

Education: Two approaches•Social Media Center of Excellence •This group of 25 cross-functional associates (manager-level) is being trained in our social media strategy along with standard social media best practices.•This group meets quarterly with the Altimeter Group (our social media consultant) and with our internal social media strategist monthly so as social programs are developed across the enterprise, they work in concert with each other and employ best practices and use standard metrics for success.• •Social Media 101 Training •Developed content for a Social Media 101 course which will initially be extended to the Center of Excellence group and eventually distributed more broadly. This course has 10 modules and will educate associates on:

– The basics of social media.– Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, blogs: best practices and examples of success programs– QR codes, location-based technologies, listening technology and more.
