Chris Boyer:
• Social networks are how we connect
• Communities of interest are why we connect.

Why is Social Media Important?1. Marketing has been redefined2. Moving from professional story tellers to conversation
managers and facilitators3. Marketing is now a dialogue, not a monologue4. Engagement is what we’re after5. Today, being absent from social media is
conspicuous6. The conversations are happening with or without us7. The quality of info being shared is suspect, so we have
an obligation to get involved8. It is highly measurable!

Hive Marketing• Providing a gathering place for active

forth and tell your story• Brand evangelists• In this era of citizen journalism, brand
advocates are more credible (to some) than professional marketers

“What if Someone Says Something Bad?”
• They’re going to speak out whether you provide a forum or not
• Wouldn’t you rather know what’s being said and have a chance to address it?
• Most likely, five people will jump in and say something good; very democratic
• Difference between a brand detractor and an unhappy customer; you can win back an unhappy customer
