The who’s who of who’s running social media for America’s top companies

The who’s who of who’s running social media for America’s top companies | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...showcase–those who are doing the hard work to integrate social media into some of America’s bigger companies. And then I got to thinking–there really is no list of these people anywhere.


Oh sure, there are Twitter lists here and there. Jeremiah Owyang has his list of social media new hires (and the last time he posted it was April 7). But, I really haven’t seen a good list of corporate social media leaders anywhere.


Probably with good reason. These folks are in high demand. Any such list would be pretty valuable to recruiters and agencies/companies (insert Arik evil laugh here). So, I thought, why not create one? Or, at least START to create one.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Who's on first... in social media...Great list from @ArikHansen and lots more potential follows in comments.

So you think you need a social strategy? Sure, but that’s just part of it | memeburn

So you think you need a social strategy? Sure, but that’s just part of it | memeburn | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

In 2012 there was a mad rush from companies to understand the value of social in all its complexities. What could social media do? What value could it provide? How could the company engage with its users? As a result there have been numerous traditional agencies suddenly becoming digital marketing specialists and providing their clients with complete social strategies.

 

There have been promises of guaranteed followers, likes and shares which may or may not have been achieved. There was (and still is) so much jargon that many businesses were sucked into the social media marketing black hole. Please note that many of those were successful and marketing teams breathed a sigh of relief as Directors, CEOs and other high-ranking officials nodded their heads in appreciation of the high number of followers, likes and shares.

 

However, unlike their marketing counter parts, these high rankers have a goal that must be met – ROI. Return on investment is difficult to measure from a social media perspective. What is the value of a like, follow or share? Can it be equated to the lowest possible sale value of a single unit of product? No – because for every 10 likes only one user purchased the product! This is just an example, but remains true in essence....

Do you know your ROS - return on social?

What Really Matters - Revenue, Costs and Growth | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Have you ever sat in on the board of director's meeting for your company? Ask if you could at some point if not. Or find a board member and talk to them about what they find important when hearing from the leaders of your organization. You know what they're going to talk about? Revenue. Costs. Year-over-year growth. You know what they won't talk about? Fan numbers, friend numbers, followers or "Likes." The typical board member, when hearing from a manager in the business, looks for things like projected revenue, growth opportunities, potential market weaknesses ... anything that will help the organization make more and spend less. ...

I think the danger with social media is that people with nothing of substance to offer are learning how to tell people about (how little they really have to offer). Facebook, supposedly the pinnacle of social media, is a perfect example. It become a difficult to learn, difficult to keep up with, big pile in mostly worthless content junk.
