Community Management Today
Why It All Sucks
Imagine A World Where…
Your Content Sucks, But You Can Fix It Super Duper Easy
Getting Your Content Out There Like A Boss
Beer For Questions
This One Time, At Brand Camp
The Process is Broken

•
•
•

•

It’s restrictive
It’s messy
Endless revisions, because it’s
treated as 31 separate creative
elements
Last minute changes are
unavoidable
The Content Calendar
How CM’s See the Calendar
Today, I post about this!
How CM’s See the Calendar
Tomorrow, I post about this!
How CM’s See the Calendar
Wednesday, I post about this!
How Strategy Sees the Calendar
How the Copywriter Sees It
Okay, I need 15 words on family dining.
How the Copywriter Sees It
Now I need 20 words on an art exhibit…
How the Copywriter Sees It
Ugh, and 10 words on some concert, yay!
How the Client Sees the Calendar
That works.
How the Client Sees the Calendar
A little wordy, but fine.
How the Client Sees the Calendar
Maybe a little impersonal, but I’ll leave it.
How the Client Sees the Calendar
This works.
How the Client Sees the Calendar
This is kinda like a post from last month?
How the Client Sees the Calendar
Wait, I haven’t seen any product posts yet?
Client Sends Feedback

“I feel like this is repetitive and off strategy,
please revise.” - client
Client Sends Feedback

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a process and
“I feel like this is repetitive and off strategy,
tools that worked for ANYONE, nevermind
please revise.” - client
everyone?
A Whole Newwwww World!
Imagine a world where…
Client understands the entire process and value, not
just the end result
Client isn’t nitpicking on details (ahem, especially
ones they’ve already approved)
Every member of the team knows where they’re
headed, together
Every single post is building towards something
Creative doesn’t just mean copywriter (and the
copywriter gives a damn)
A Brand is a Story
A Brand is a Story
A Brand is a Story a Collection of Stories
Separate The Ingredients

Content Planning
Content Writing

Community
Management
Client Approvals
Content Planning

•
•
•

Blocking Charts are your
friend
Creates framework for
future content
Allows you to align (internally
or with client) on priorities
and number of posts per
content pillar
Content Writing

•
•
•
•
•

Should be easier to write
Should allow for greater
flexibility
Should be FUN
Should be reusable
Should be responsive
The Content Warehouse

•
•
•
•
•

Plan the narrative
Copywriter writes similar
topics (saves 30% of time)
Posts can “expire”
Allows for greater CM
flexibility
Requires less onboarding of
new CMs
Building a Narrative

•
•
•

•

Content without narrative
is death
Narrative drives engagement
Measure each narrative
across all your channels
MOAR FROM JON!
The Content Wind Tunnel

•
•
•
•
•

Funnels limit, tunnels increase
velocity
Get obstacles out of the
way
Abandon the idea of how
far out you’re planning
Focus on constantly
improving your narratives
NOTE: This approach
requires different client
billing structures ;-)
Structure

Narrative
Responsive

Strategy
Responsive Content Ruh!
The Real Time Elephant in the Room
Content Continuum

Canned Content

Just-in-Time Content
What the spectrum looks like

Canned Content

Just-in-Time Content
The Meaty Middle

•

•
•

Client approvals still matter
Things change, rapidly
Low latency is expensive
The community manager knows
the pulse of your tribe
Approvals will almost always matter. Make peace
with it.
Things will change very, very quickly. You will need to
adapt.
You probably don’t always NEED real time speed.
Perfect the 95% of the time you can get away with
less.
No one will know the pulse of you community better
than the community management team.
How do you develop content?
Narrative Building

• Communities are made of
stories. So are brands.
• Pick 5 key stories, and map out
how they progress each quarter.

• Make posts that reference
events, but create MULTIPLE
options, so that gametime
decisions can be made.
Completely Fictional Narrative Progression

Brand X says
“quality matters”

Brand X says “here
is the heritage and
tradition behind our
quality”

Brand X says “This
is our team. Their
craftsmanship and
passion drive us”

Brand X says “this
video will show you
the painstaking
process behind our
product”
Building the Puzzle

• Your story needs to be
interconnected, but each piece
needs to stand on its own.
• The narrative you build can be
more important than the specific
order or timing
So: how do you do it?
You have a plan of what needs to happen.
You have a warehouse of approved content.
You have a person who knows what will work,
and when.
You don’t NEED anything else. Get out of your
own way.

Community Management Grows Up: Moving Beyond Content Calendars

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Imagine a world where…
  2. The ability to adapt to what’s going on in the world and in your community, while using approved contentWouldn’t it be nice if “real time marketing” didn’t require “real time marketing”?If what you thought was a good idea 15 days ago isn’ta good idea, it’s a crisisYou shouldn’t need to see the future to avoid client emergenciesThe most important part of a joke is…. Is… is… timing!
  3. Real Time Marketing is one end of a spectrum, where traditional content calendar planning sits on one end, and just-in-time Oreo-style executions sit on the other.But it’s all about getting to that point, where it’s the right post for the time, the conditions, and the community
  4. Real Time Marketing is one end of a spectrum, where traditional content calendar planning sits on one end, and just-in-time Oreo-style executions sit on the other.But it’s all about getting to that point, where it’s the right post for the time, the conditions, and the community
  5. Get over it. You will almost NEVER have the client who trusts you enough to let you post unapproved. And even if you did, you don’t have the balls to post without sign off.
  6. What was true yesterday might not be true today. Marathon story?
  7. Not every brand will have the money to do everything in real time. Almost none of them need to.
  8. Most posting strategies ignore how close a community manager gets to a community, over time. Data is king, but the gut feel of a community expert is at least an archduke.
  9. Life without cellphones – this is about the freedom to make logical, approved decisions on the fly (when applicable)Judging content in the context of narrative streams makes it clear what’s on strategy, and what’s not.
