What is your biggest frustration?
*Except for all these annoying social media experts?
We think we know better. That the world is changing. And everyone
who disagrees ‘doesn’t get it’.
But honestly, we don’t get it.
LOVE IT OR HATE IT?|
DUDE, WHERE’S MY SUITCASE?!
I stumbled upon (part of) the solution a few months later.
Would this work?Would this make a difference in
their tips?
The problems.
They speak a different language.
The Dutch government decided to communicate high-salary government officials, hoping they would settle for a lower salary due to public pressure. The opposite thing happened.Officials started to compare their salary and demanded for an increase.
That’s where seduction starts eating communication for breakfast.
We are more stupidthan we think.
WE SELL DREAMS, NOT ACTIONS.
We’re in the wrong business.
Our dodo problem.We lack natural enemies.

We only fight 1 battle, whilst there are 3.
Every company is different.
Geen social media service (niemand stelt vragen over bier).Zwaartepunt van KLM: 28.000 interacties per week (!) via
Facebook en Twitter.
Zwaartepunt van social aanwezigheid Heineken; veel engaging content en merkcampagnes.
Continue laag engaging content. Campagne uitschieters.
Praktisch geen commerce, buiten wat merchandise.Goede runner-up: veel commerce initiatieven, zowel rondom
acquisitie als loyaliteit.

The solution?The speedboat-approach.

My physician in Gent, Karim de Boever, uses both Twitter and Instagram. He ‘likes’ healthy food of his clients on Instagram and doesn’t react on not-so-healthy food. Nudging people to live healthier.
Social media for physicians.

Vectors, not plans.6
Vectors and ripples.Try what works best. Test different versions. Launch in beta. Give your organization the opportunity to learn.
Try to define strategic vectors and small pilots (speedboats) within these vectors.
