6. Social Media : Its a Channel
• Like Telephone, Fax, Email
• It won’t solve world hunger
• It won’t even get you more customers (easily)
• It MAY help you communicate more efficiently

8. Social Media: Enabler, Disruptor, or
What?
• Social Media is here to stay, BUT
-It’s not a panacea
-Tools are tools- that is all
-”Doing social” might be necessary but its far
from sufficient
-Reproduces the same hierarchies that ordinary
media are burdened by

9. To Make it Work….
• It has to suffuse the business not be a
separate division
• It has to be “enactable” in your system of
record.
• It has to stop being called out (Do you have a
Director of Faxing???)

10. To Date….
• Social is a Disruptor
• Social is “another place” you have to go
• Social is just another channel. A powerful one
but is not anything and everything.
• Marketers are TOO BEGUILED by Social. Less
idealism makes for better realism!
