CEOs and Social Media
   A Look at the Fortune 100 CEOs
     and their Online Image and
          Communications
               June 2009

                 from
CEOs are Laggards in Social Media
• We looked at the country’s top 100 CEOs and
  found that most are sorely lacking in social media
  exposure, connection or conversations:
    – Only two have Twitter accounts.
    – 13 have LinkedIn profiles, and of those only three have
      more than 10 connections.
    – 81% don’t have a personal Facebook page.
    – Almost a quarter have no Wikipedia entry – 31% of
      those that do have limited or outdated information.
    – Not one Fortune 100 CEO has a blog.

      Hathaway) and Alan Lafley
      (Procter &Gamble)

                                                         Notes: Twitter accounts were created in
• Lafley has 33 followers and                            four other CEOs’ names but we suspect
  has never posted an update                             these are fake/unofficial so are not
                                                         counted in this research.

Blogs
• No Fortune 100 CEOs
  have their own blog
    – However, some
      contribute to other blogs




    Notes: CEO blogs may exist that we were
    unable to access or easily find

www.uberceo.com                Permission to republish with source citation
Our Take
On Twitter
• Regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley and Reg FD are likely to affect how
  and when CEOs communicate. However, CEOs should be using Twitter
  as another tool (not a replacement tool) to communicate information
  and build brand loyalty. Twitter should be viewed an extension of the
  communication outlets they’re already using. There’s no reason that
  news, such as quarterly earnings, can’t be Tweeted at the same time a
  press release crosses the wire.

On LinkedIn
• CEOs are missing an opportunity to easily connect with partners and
  customers, especially those that they may not have time to communicate
  with on a regular basis. We get the impression from the research that
  the “old boy’s network” is clearly the preferred method for Fortune 100
  CEOs.
www.uberceo.com        Permission to republish with source citation
Our Take
On Facebook
• Our research found that fake Facebook accounts are rife, especially
  among high profile CEOs. Facebook pages might not be the right
  approach for every CEO but they should still consider:
    – Securing relevant account names on popular social media sites to reduce
      the amount of fake account holders
    – Creating Fan/Group pages to engage customers and partners who are
      brand supporters

On Wikipedia
• Wikipedia should be considered the Who’s Who of the new century by
  CEOs. Rightly or wrongly, it’s often the place where people start their
  research on a company or individual so it can create a lasting
  impression. Internal PR department and their agencies should be
  continually updating the entry, contributing to the discussion and
  participating in the editing process to make the entry as independent,
  factual and feature rich as possible.

www.uberceo.com          Permission to republish with source citation
Our Take
On Blogs
• While CEO blogs were hot a few years ago, the adoption does not
  seem to have reached the largest companies. Gold standards still exist
  outside of the Fortune 100s, such as those from Jonathan Schwartz at
  Sun and Alan Meckler at WebMediaBrands (formerly Jupiter Media).
• A blog isn’t right for every CEO but it is something every CEO should
  consider.
• Company or executive-suite blogs can be as effective as those written by
  the CEO.




www.uberceo.com         Permission to republish with source citation
Our Take
Overall
• The country’s leading CEOs aren’t anywhere near as connected as their
  employees, partners, executives and customers are likely to be. They’re
  simply not communicating in the same way. It gives the impression that
  those CEOs are distant, disinterested and disengaged.
• Anecdotal research suggests that the next level of executives are far
  more likely to be engaged in social media activities and conversations.
• CEOs aren’t managing – or delegating someone to manage – their
  online presence and profile.
• CEOs have the opportunity to positively effect their company’s
  perception, visibility and brand experience by taking part on social
  media activities.
• The question is not whether CEOs can use social media tools, but rather
  if they should… and if so, how and when.

Research Notes
• Research conducted between May 29th and June 16th, 2009 and the
  results are therefore a snapshot in time.
    – Changes made online after June 16th are not reflected in this research.
• List of Fortune 100 CEOs taken from Forbes.com
   (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2009/full_list/)

• Some discrepancy in figures due to Motorola having two CEOs.
• All company, product names and any registered and unregistered
  trademarks mentioned are used for identification purposes only and
  remain the exclusive property of their respective owners.
• While every attempt has been made to conduct thorough research, the
  nature of the Internet – our only source for this research – is such that
  errors can be made.

Fortune 100 CEOs and Social Media

  • 1. CEOs and Social Media A Look at the Fortune 100 CEOs and their Online Image and Communications June 2009 from
  • 2. CEOs are Laggards in Social Media • We looked at the country’s top 100 CEOs and found that most are sorely lacking in social media exposure, connection or conversations: – Only two have Twitter accounts. – 13 have LinkedIn profiles, and of those only three have more than 10 connections. – 81% don’t have a personal Facebook page. – Almost a quarter have no Wikipedia entry – 31% of those that do have limited or outdated information. – Not one Fortune 100 CEO has a blog. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 3. CEOs with Twitter Accounts • Only two CEOs have Twitter accounts Tw itte r 2% – Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway) and Alan Lafley (Procter &Gamble) • Buffet has 7441 followers but is not following anyone Tw itte rle ss – He’s also never posted 98% anything beyond “coming soon” on February 20th Notes: Twitter accounts were created in • Lafley has 33 followers and four other CEOs’ names but we suspect has never posted an update these are fake/unofficial so are not counted in this research. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 4. CEOs on LinkedIn • Only 13 CEOs from the Fortune Linke dIn 100 list have LinkedIn profiles Profile – No CEO in the top 20 has a 13% LinkedIn profile • Sunoco CEO, Lynn Elsenhans, has two profiles but only five connections total • Sears CEO, Bruce Johnson and N o Linke dIn David Wood (Murphy Oil), both Profile list old titles on their profiles 87% • Those with only one connection: – Andrew Liveris (Dow Chemical) – Thomas Wilson (Allstate) Notes: Likely fake accounts not counted: – Mary Sammons (RiteAid) Steve Jobs (Apple), Rupert Murdoch – Gregory Brown (Motorola) (News Corp) – Kenneth Chenault (AmEx)* * Possibly fake www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 5. Gold Star CEOs on LinkedIn 5 5 • From the small number of 5 CEOs that have LinkedIn profiles, even fewer are 4 3 connected and active 3 • The most connected: – Michael Dell (Dell) – 500+ 2 – Gregory Spierkel (Ingram Micro) – 213 1 – John Chambers (Cisco) - 82 0 1 Co nnectio n 2-9 Co nnectio ns 10 + Co nnectio ns www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 6. Facebook and CEOs • Only 19% of Fortune 100 CEOs Face book have Facebook pages Page 19% • Those who lead the pack have a dismal number of friends – Kenneth Lewis (Bank of America) – 13 N o Face book – John G. Stumpf (Wells Page 81% Fargo) – 12 – Vikram Pandit (Citigroup) - 8 www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 7. Friendless on Facebook 12 • Rex Tillerson, CEO of the #1 12 11 ranking company, Exxon 10 Mobile, is the only F100 CEO 9 without friends 8 7 7 6 • Many personal Facebook 5 4 4 pages had no or limited 2 3 information 2 1 1 0 • A small proportion of CEOs N o F riend s < 10 > 10 Limited F a n/G ro up had personal Fan or Group F riend s F riend s Info Pa g e Facebook pages Notes: Fake accounts may have unintentional been counted www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 8. CEOs in Wikipedia N o W ikipe dia • Wikipedia has the highest Entry level of engagement 24% compared to any other social media tool among Fortune 100 CEOs W ik ipe dia • Three quarters have some Entry kind of Wikipedia entry 76% www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 9. Loafing on Wikipedia • Of the 76 Wikipedia entries, nearly 30% had inadequate or Lim ite d Entry , out of date information 2 1 (2 8 % ) • The culprits: – William Klesse (Valero Energy) has nothing but his name and title listed – Michael Duke (Wal-Mart) cites A de quate no sources for the entry Entry , 5 5 – John Hammergren’s (McKesson) (7 2 % ) entry was deleted in 2005 – Kerry Clark (Cardinal Health) had his deleted in 2006 – Gregory Brown, Co-CEO of Notes: Limited Entry indicates that sources Motorola, has a more were needed, information was out of date comprehensive entry than his or missing, or only a few lines of CEO partner, Sanjay Jha information were included www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 10. Blogs • No Fortune 100 CEOs have their own blog – However, some contribute to other blogs Notes: CEO blogs may exist that we were unable to access or easily find www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 11. Our Take On Twitter • Regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley and Reg FD are likely to affect how and when CEOs communicate. However, CEOs should be using Twitter as another tool (not a replacement tool) to communicate information and build brand loyalty. Twitter should be viewed an extension of the communication outlets they’re already using. There’s no reason that news, such as quarterly earnings, can’t be Tweeted at the same time a press release crosses the wire. On LinkedIn • CEOs are missing an opportunity to easily connect with partners and customers, especially those that they may not have time to communicate with on a regular basis. We get the impression from the research that the “old boy’s network” is clearly the preferred method for Fortune 100 CEOs. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 12. Our Take On Facebook • Our research found that fake Facebook accounts are rife, especially among high profile CEOs. Facebook pages might not be the right approach for every CEO but they should still consider: – Securing relevant account names on popular social media sites to reduce the amount of fake account holders – Creating Fan/Group pages to engage customers and partners who are brand supporters On Wikipedia • Wikipedia should be considered the Who’s Who of the new century by CEOs. Rightly or wrongly, it’s often the place where people start their research on a company or individual so it can create a lasting impression. Internal PR department and their agencies should be continually updating the entry, contributing to the discussion and participating in the editing process to make the entry as independent, factual and feature rich as possible. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 13. Our Take On Blogs • While CEO blogs were hot a few years ago, the adoption does not seem to have reached the largest companies. Gold standards still exist outside of the Fortune 100s, such as those from Jonathan Schwartz at Sun and Alan Meckler at WebMediaBrands (formerly Jupiter Media). • A blog isn’t right for every CEO but it is something every CEO should consider. • Company or executive-suite blogs can be as effective as those written by the CEO. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 14. Our Take Overall • The country’s leading CEOs aren’t anywhere near as connected as their employees, partners, executives and customers are likely to be. They’re simply not communicating in the same way. It gives the impression that those CEOs are distant, disinterested and disengaged. • Anecdotal research suggests that the next level of executives are far more likely to be engaged in social media activities and conversations. • CEOs aren’t managing – or delegating someone to manage – their online presence and profile. • CEOs have the opportunity to positively effect their company’s perception, visibility and brand experience by taking part on social media activities. • The question is not whether CEOs can use social media tools, but rather if they should… and if so, how and when. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
  • 15. Research Notes • Research conducted between May 29th and June 16th, 2009 and the results are therefore a snapshot in time. – Changes made online after June 16th are not reflected in this research. • List of Fortune 100 CEOs taken from Forbes.com (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2009/full_list/) • Some discrepancy in figures due to Motorola having two CEOs. • All company, product names and any registered and unregistered trademarks mentioned are used for identification purposes only and remain the exclusive property of their respective owners. • While every attempt has been made to conduct thorough research, the nature of the Internet – our only source for this research – is such that errors can be made. www.uberceo.com Permission to republish with source citation
