What audiences say about us is more important than what we say about ourselves

Conversations don’t schedule themselves around our campaigns – we have to

contribute to conversations

Social is about content journalism so we are part of a conversation, not public relations to create or control conversation about content

How can we communicate value

Too complex

Too dangerous

Too expensive

Too time consuming

Too little relevance

Too few results

Barriers to using social

Test & learn campaigns

Create an audience

Elicit audience feedback
