Social Media: we are only at the beginning
 Social Media can be confusing, indeed...


                Today




                                 Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
So what is ...




              Interactive forms of media that allow...
   Users to interact with and publish to each other...using
   Highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques...
Enabling the creation and exchange of user-generated content

                                             Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Social media is not...




                    Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Social media is not...
My definition: digital communications based on 2-
way interaction, the use of open platforms, self-
     publishing and the sharing of content




                                     Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Some Key Themes

Every single Internet & Smart-Phone user will join
one or more social network within the next 18 months

Connected users are extremely powerful
Marshall McLuhan (November 14, 1971)

39 years later...

‘Talk Down’ becomes: ‘Listen Up’   *hat tip to Umair Haque & HBR

Social Media disrupts closed systems

The deal: shift control to the users in order to gain reach




                                            Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Social is the new Search




                     Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Can you give up some control to be more
       in-demand...?
Which approach sounds better to you...?




                              Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Yes, you can manage the risks & unintended consequences
Privacy is now an action item, and no longer a default
