This document summarizes a presentation on managing Facebook and preventing social media crises. It discusses how energy companies use Facebook for recruitment, employee engagement, marketing, and crisis communications. It cautions that anyone could inadvertently create a crisis by posting thoughts without considering how they may be perceived. The presentation recommends being proactive by using social media management tools, auditing accounts, implementing workflows, training employees, and securing accounts. It provides examples of how crises occurred when policies were not followed.

6. Anyone could be “that person”
“When
pos*ng
on
social
media,
people
o3en
fail
to
acknowledge
the
*ny
but
very
important
difference
between
the
things
you
think
inside
your
head
and
the
things
you
think
and
then
say
and
then
share
with
millions
of
other
people,
which
happens
outside
your
head.”

made
an
honest
but
misguided
mistake
and
clearly
stepped
over
the
line.“

10. Twitter 101 for Energy:
What it is, why it matters,
and how to get started with it
@JenPearsall
11. What is Twitter? And why do I, or
my business, need it?
Twitter is a social media platform made up of 140
character microblogs, or tweets. So why do you
need it?
Connect with
customers,
media and
influencers
Get and share
news
Understand
what people
are saying
about you and
the industry
Humanize
your brand!
@JenPearsall
13. So How is Relevant for ME?
1. GET INFORMED. National, international and
industry news doesn’t break in the newspaper, on
TV or even on news webpages. It breaks on Twitter.
2. CONNECT. Connect and engage in conversations
with like-minded individuals – think media,
industry influencers, possible customers, etc.
3. LISTEN. What are people saying about you? What
are they saying and thinking about your
competitors? What is happening in the industry
that you need be aware of? How can you insert
your voice into the conversations already
happening?
@JenPearsall
