In this deck it highlights what you should be doing on social media, a huge number of stats to help you unpick different social platforms and inspire you to create a better social media and dark social media strategy. Presentation is from the meltwater #OutsideInsight event September 2017

According to scientists, when humans see an emoji, their brain reacts the

The brain recognizes emojis as pictures meaning they are understood as

LEARN FROM SUPER
COMPANIES:
THINK HOW SLOT
MACHINES WORK
“You pull the lever to win a prize, which is an
intermittent action linked to a variable
reward. Variable meaning you might win, or
you might not.
In the same way, you refresh your Facebook
updates to see if you’ve won. Or you swipe
right on Tinder to see if you’ve won.”
Quote from Tristan Harris, ex Googler

SOMETHINGWE ALL NEED TO REMEMBER
Social Media - Newsfeeds are algorithmically driven, Facebook improves on every
like and use, many others do not…..
Search - Google and all search engines are algorithmically driven
Shopping - related content and related items are driven by algorithms. Most shops
change their algorithms based on your behaviour
Email - Inboxes are now algorithmic, Gmail and outlook both control what you see.
Think inbox vs promotion & focused vs “other”
Music // Films // OD & OTT TV - even our entertainment is (mostly)
algorithmically driven

THE 4 REASONSWHY PEOPLESHAREON FACEBOOK
1. Vanity
Look how good I am
How much I donated
I'm helping
I'm a great person / I'm a horrible person
2. Awe
In awe
Great person look at the page owner
How much are they raising or donated
Great cause
3. Anger
How annoying
How does this page exist
How can this happen?
4. Amusement
LOL
How great
How stupid
How embarrassing
61. THE KEY TO SUCCESS ON ALGORITHMIC BASED SOCIAL NETWORKS
There are only two steps to success……
1. Velocity – getting a lot of engagement quickly will instantly get
your post boosted to the top of the algorithm
2. Sustainable – the more likes, reactions or engagements you get
the longer you will appear, the more engagement you will
receive
64. TIPS TO BOOST ENGAGEMENT
Use stories to understand how busy Instagram is, push
content out on stories over newsfeed
3. Ask questions
2. Live push like TV
4. Tell people what you want them to do
1. Instagram – stories over grid
Despite the hype TV is the most used device in the
house, use live like it’s a TV show and push in similar
ways
Simple but ask more questions, you will be surprised by
the engagement rate going up
Let’s face it, in 2017 we want to be told what to do
and when, tell your audience what you would like them
to do
5. Get out of your filter bubble, quick
Stop looking at competitors, go look outside your niche and
look at successful brands and what they do differently.
Ever seen people’s tweets appear in your timeline when
you don’t follow them, use the strategic likes to amplify
your content
6. Use strategic likes
Understand how each social network works and which
content it prefers, why it prefers that format. Use video.
7. Use more video
Be famous for using a specific type of gifs or make a
library you can continuously use
8. Theme your gif usage
Do you share blog posts without embedding your previous
social? Start embedding relevant content to boost engagement
9. Embed your content
You know that annoying WhatsApp group you are in or
the friends who send things via messenger, remember
they will want to engage on your content too
10. Dark social can be your friend
65. TV AD BREAKS
Facebook studied their usage around top
shows and usage around TV ads, are there
times you could leverage with your
marketing campaigns?
Are there challenges you can set internally
to leverage this?
65
DO NOT BUY THE HYPE THAT TV IS DEAD!
GO LEVERAGE IT!

Please remember that whatever situation
we are thrown into or experience in 2017,
the first thing people reach for is their
mobile phones.
With this mindset, there is great
opportunity. Not every revolution comes
from evolution.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE
SUCCESSOF SOCIAL?
Let’s be honest tracking social media
success can be impossible,
especially tracking back from
organic and dark social media.
My rule of thumb, anything you pay
for should be attributed back.

TO ONE SOCIAL NETWORK
This actually does happen over
time, generally when a user has
their engaged network on a
specific network, in many cases
it’s Facebook.

1. Inform
2. LOL
3. Educate
4. Inspire
117. WHAT’S NEXT?
ORIGINALSOCIAL VIDEO
Original content is the next battle field for
social networks, Snapchat averaged 5
million unique viewers for their “Good
Luck America” original series.
The reason why they are all fighting TV,
netflix, amazon prime etc?
No one has cracked centralising content
and building communities around it.
Facebook really is in prime position for
this.

and from three to ten minutes.
Do you think you could create quality
video content that people will want to

THE RESULTS
AS OF 06.48 12/09/2017
122. REMEMBER THESE AGAIN
Use stories to understand how busy Instagram is, push
content out on stories over newsfeed
3. Ask questions
2. Live push like TV
4. Tell people what you want them to do
1. Instagram – stories over grid
Despite the hype TV is the most used device in the
house, use live like it’s a TV show and push in similar
ways
Simple but ask more questions, you will be surprised by
the engagement rate going up
Let’s face it, in 2017 we want to be told what to do
and when, tell your audience what you would like them
to do
5. Get out of your filter bubble, quick
Stop looking at competitors, go look outside your niche and
look at successful brands and what they do differently.
Ever seen people’s tweets appear in your timeline when
you don’t follow them, use the strategic likes to amplify
your content
6. Use strategic likes
Understand how each social network works and which
content it prefers, why it prefers that format. Use video.
7. Use more video
Be famous for using a specific type of gifs or make a
library you can continuously use
8. Theme your gif usage
Do you share blog posts without embedding your previous
social? Start embedding relevant content to boost engagement
9. Embed your content
You know that annoying WhatsApp group you are in or
the friends who send things via messenger, remember
they will want to engage on your content too
10. Dark social can be your friend
