Go get Royally Social! Tracy @RoyallySocial  It's been a while since we've blogged but we're back with exciting stuff from Social Media Week London 2013. We started the week with "What's Next?: Future Trends For Brand Communications" inside the stunning Royal Institute of Britain. It was generously hosted by Drew Benvie, the founder of social media agency, Battenhall. We've been to our share of exciting social media events after living in San Francisco for 14 years, but this one left us in awe. The majesty of the Royal Institute lent to a very worthy event to attend. And not just because of the fresh pastries, cronuts and catered iced coffee. Thank you, Battenhall! So let's get down to what we learned from the day's event.  Introduced by former FT Global Director of Communications, Emma Gilpin Jacobs, Drew started the presentation educating the crowd on his agency's research of the status of Twitter and the FTSE 100 (for us Americans, he pronounced it "footsy"). Here he examined the use of social media for investor relations and corporate communications by FTSE companies. He focused a lot on Twitter and rightfully so. Here were some interesting insights:
 So what's next, per Battenhall's list?
 Do you believe in Digital Darwinism? The evolution of consumer behavior is evolving faster as society uses technology to communicate their wants and needs. Businesses need to make room for this ability to adapt. How are you going to make sure not to become an extinct business? Start by dipping your virtual toes in social media. Then take these steps: 1. Grab URLS/Names quickly. You'll want your brand name to be unified across every social channel. 2. Listen. What are your competitors doing? Take note of the good, bad, ugly and innovative. 3. Ask yourself what you can offer. Who are you trying to appeal to? Why should they listen to you? 4. Start a blog. Break down all of the ways you can respond to #3 above and break them down into various easy-to-understand blogs. It'll set the stage for making you the authority in your space to build up your dedicated Tribe of followers. 5. Make a list. Who will you need to execute your social plans? You may need to start hiring to fulfill your social media goals sooner, rather than later. This should keep you occupied for a while. Until next time... ~ Tracy, Royally Social |
