The Revolution

• The Social Media Revolution



4

The Revolution

• Allergy to "sales“ - uncomfortable to many

• Younger generation drifting further and further away from it

• Brand advertising, direct mail, door-to-door sales, cold calling diminished

• New set of channels nearly all of which centre around the web



5

Stages of Social Media*

• Denial

• Anger

• Bargaining

• Depression

• Acceptance

* Thanks to Scott Monty, head of social media for Ford Motor Company



6

Denial

• Refuse to acknowledge the existence of social media

• Common phrases: "It's just a kid's thing"

• Common behaviours: avoiding the Internet, putting hands over ears and singing "I can't heearryoouuu. La la laaaaa"



7

Anger

• Rage ensues

• Common phrases: "This is stupid," "I've got better things to do with my time“

• Common behaviours: full-fledged slave to work email; increase in print or television media buy to show effectiveness and superiority



8

Bargaining

• Hope incremental adoption enough

• Common phrases: "If we have a Facebook page, we should be covered" / "Let the agency figure it out“

• Common behaviours: time-limited campaigns; half-hearted efforts on a limited number of social sites



9

Depression

• Understand the inevitable

• Common phrases: "Twitter/Google/Facebook is taking over the world,“ or "We're overwhelmed with choices“

• Common behaviours: moping; pacing; complaining to friends on Facebook



10

Acceptance

• Finally realizes it’s here to stay

• Common phrases: "Let'scraft a comprehensive social media strategy“

• Common behaviours: determination goals, integrate marketing & communications, online and offline alignment

Why It’s Important

Collecting Data (Search Engine)

is less valuable than

Connecting People (Social Media)
