5. What do you want your Social Media
Campaign to do?

– Brand awareness / engagement / PR
• Shift consumer opinion
– Reposition your brand
• Consumer research
• Manage your reputation online
• Customer Service

6. Reactive vs Proactive Campaigns
Reactive Campaigns:
• Manage your reputation online
• Customer Service
Proactive Campaigns:
• Get people talking about you
• Shift consumer opinion
• Consumer research

8. Reactive Campaigns
• Think PR / Customer Service
• Put processes in place to listen and respond.
People are probably already talking about you online
ignorance might be bliss, but it could be bad for
business.

9. Measuring Reactive Campaigns
• What might a PR disaster cost you?
– Might be better not to find out!

10. Measuring Reactive Campaigns
• What is the ROI of customer service?
– Hard to quantify
• Consider using Customer Service metrics
instead
– Time to resolution
– Frequency of escalation
– Is it quicker (and therefore cheaper) to resolve a
complaint via social media than traditional
channels?

13. Wait! What about Sales?
• Sales / Conversions are symptomatic of a
good proactive social media campaign
• But you may struggle if you’re only ‘selling’ via
social media

14. Social Media is about
conversation…
Not
broadcast.
@hannah_bo_banna
hannah.smith@distilled.net
16. Because you need the community to amplify
your messages…
They decide whether or not to allow your
message to spread.
You no longer have control – this is not
about buying reach, it’s about earning it.

17. Want to do a Proactive Campaign?
• Get people talking about you
• Shift consumer opinion
• Consumer research
You’ll need a content strategy…
@hannah_bo_banna
hannah.smith@distilled.net
18. What Should you Measure?
Gauge your audience’s reaction to different
types of content…
Do more of what’s worked well & look to
either improve or remove the stuff that
hasn’t worked.

19. Good things to Measure
• Conversation
• Amplification
• Applause
• Economic Value

21. Amplification
• On Twitter:
– Amplification = # of Retweets Per Tweet
• On Facebook, Google Plus:
– Amplification = # of Shares Per Post
• On a blog, YouTube:
– Amplification = # of Share Clicks Per Post (or
Video)

22. Applause
• On Twitter:
– Applause Rate = # of Favorite Clicks Per Post
• On Facebook:
– Applause Rate = # of Likes Per Post
• On Google Plus:
– Applause Rate = # of +1s Per Post
• On a Blog, YouTube:
– Applause Rate = # of +1s and Likes Per Post (or
video)

23. Remember…
• These metrics are often platform centric AND
content centric
– What works well on Twitter might not work on
Facebook
• Figure out which content works best on each
platform
@hannah_bo_banna
hannah.smith@distilled.net
24. Economic Value
This is platform-centric - you’ll need to compare channels e.g.
Twitter versus Facebook to see which are sending...
• Sales
• Enquiries
• Sign up to newsletters / offers
• RSS subscribers
• Take free trial
• Download a coupon
When calculating ROI incorporate both initial and lifetime value.

25. Multi-Channel Funnels
Last click attribution doesn’t tell the whole story…

27. Fans / Followers etc
You should still track followers / fans
BUT…
“Companies over-value followership and
under-value participation. Yes, you can go
out and buy 1000 followers. But if they all
ignore you from that point on, they’re
worthless.”

28. Visits
• Traffic is great but most sites are unable to
monetise traffic alone
• By all means measure this – but it probably
won’t be a core metric for you
@hannah_bo_banna

29. Key Takeaways
• Proactive
– Measure via
• Conversations, Amplifications, Applause & Economic Value
• Evaluate different types of content & the platforms
• Reactive
– ROI is tricky here.
• Consider using Customer Service metrics e.g. time to
resolution, frequency of escalation, cost of service etc.

Notes de l'éditeur
Tech blog Gizmodo published this photo of an exploding Dell laptop. This single image spread like wildfire across the blogosphere, causing Dell to eventually recall over four million laptop batteries. Dell eventually responded to the blogs, but it was the delayed response that put a cap on the period known as "Dell Hell." Should have responded sooner.
