What we did in 2010

For attendees of Social PR only

4

Established listening on a reactive level…

…and on a broader scale

Social PR – Social Media and Barclaycard – February 28th, 2011

Found out who our influencers were…

Mapped over sixty key influencers in business, personal finance, technology and other key areas.

Mapping was based on quantitative and qualitative assessments, i.e. how many followers, page rank, and also who they’re connected to, what they’re writing about.

As well as treating our online influencers in the same way as traditional ones, we held a round-table event specifically for innovation.

Subsequent reporting of the event firmly presented Barclaycard as leaders in contactless and NFC mobile-payment development.

…and made friends with them

Our monitoring programme allowed us to identify a disgruntled customer who had written a song about his experience. This was beginning to receive some interest online.We engaged with the customer, dealt with the problem and turned a potentially bad reputation issue into positive online PR for Barclaycard.

We created positive stories through listening and responding…

Coordination and shared learning

Social Media Steering group - formed November 2009 •Accelerate learning about social media throughout the company.•Collaborate, and update each other on initiatives and what's working/not working.•Create shared guidelines, processes and strategy.•Set actions for further research and pilot projects to continually further the social media efforts at Barclaycard.•Drive change within Barclaycard to enable it to survive and thrive in a world that has been changed by social technologies.

•The aim of the group is NOT to centralise social media activity or add layers of approval.

What’s next?

For attendees of Social PR only

29

For the PR team

Finding new ways to tell our story.

Finding new ways to engage with our key influencers.

Continuing to lead thinking internally about what social can do.

For the wider business

Strategy review

A broad piece of work taking into account the opportunities and needs of every team in the business.

This will help further align activity and give all teams a common goal and where possible a common set of objectives.

SMS evolved

A split between a more regular and tactical social media group, and a second more strategic steering group, focused on the broader objectives and trends.
