Its very important to us.” • Sincerely, Kathy Widmer Vice President of Marketing McNeil Consumer Healthcare

Editor's Notes
- Social web 1 = blogs and websites, 2=Friendster, Facebook, 3= crossplatforming
- According to the huff post, there are more than 500 sm sites today
- Avoid investing time in social media sites that don't have a critical mass of your stakeholders: stick to the bigger ones.
- Women have been significantly more likely to use social networking sites than men since 2009. In December 2012, 71% of women were users of social networking sites, compared with 62% of men.
- Facebook—1 billion users, 750 million visitors a month. It would be the 4th largest country in the world.
- Twitter--Twitter has the sponsored tweet which highlights ad in a user’s stream, but does not suppress other people’s content in the process. 4 stages of twitter: 1. Hate (why???)Still, join. Ignore 2. AHA! Eventually, they come back and see something interesting, not on the news. 3. TWEETS Checks often, never posts.Then, thinks of something, I should post that! 4. Thinking in 140 characters. You are hooked.
- Terms of service are diff for biz and personal, must declare yourself a business and agree to terms. 25 million usersAllows you to create businessaccounts which let you use biz name instead of first and last
- Pinterest drives traffic to sites and conversion rate for purchase is higher than twitter
- “People who pinned this also pinned”Cleaner navigation-everything condensed into single buttonWeb analytics—now easier to collect metrics, to see how consumers are interacting with pins that originate from your site—how many see, how many visit site from Pinterest, what are your most repinned, clicked so you know what is popular. Make sure website listed on your profile is verified.
- A micro blog where you can post photos, video, audio, text
- 54 percent of major brands are using this photo sharing site. You can only post your own pictures and it’s only available on a mobile or ipod.
- Mobile app, blew up beginning of this yearAllows users to send photo messages that self-destruct after a few seconds.Frozen yogurt 16Handles experimented with coupons that couldn’t be copied and circulated
- Crowdsourcing at its best. Upload photo and ask users to share opinions on a topic with thumbs up or down.Brands get customer feedback by posing a question to users about new products or brand extensions.
- Increase brand equity by building reputation for being attentive. Corporate tweets shouldn’t sound like they come from a bot.
- The agency Mother developed social storytelling for Stella Artois that conveyed the brand’s core qualities--expensive and smooth--through a character of their own invention: Jacques d'Azur, a French bon vivant from the 60s who spends most of his time on red carpets and yachts. I first heard about Jacques when he tweeted @BettyDraper.Intrigued, I went to his twitter feed and discovered similar shout outs to twitter users with hefty followings.
- A link jumped me to his Facebook where there were albums of photos of him in the 1960s, gallivanting Mad Man-ishly around the world. He was described as having been lost at sea. And I was invited to enter a contest to win "his" place at the Cannes Film Festival.There was a fake Wikipedia entry for the character. A flickr collection of life-streaming photos . And this mock newscast on youtube announcing his disappearance. There was even a blog post that claims Jacques taught tennis to the teenaged Bill Gates.
- Old spice delivered personal video replies to tweeted questions. They tweeted ppl with huge twitter followings like Ellen DeGeneres, Perez Hilton, Ashton Kutcher and George Stephanolpoulus. Went viral. As of today, 1.3 million views on youtube.
- Wolfdogintrouced a few weeks ago, the fake new CMO for the company. He’s a prototpe of CMO, busy all over the internet. He has a Tumblr, where he posts banner ads with the same note on each “I have achieved another mountain of a business achievement! He posts Youtube videos, made a pinterest page, vine videos, hosted Google+ hangouts and made websites. In short, he’s done everything (and more) a marketing director should do in social media, while poking fun at how rote and mindless it all is. Which makes for viral advertising for the product!
- A Twitter campaign by McDonald's, aimed at highlighting good news relating to the fast food chain, completely backfired when people used the hashtag 'McDStories', to highlight their horror stories.
- Gap Inc., who tweeted during Hurricane Sandy, "All impacted by #Sandy, stay safe! We'll be doing lots of Gap.com shopping today. How about you?" Internet outrage ensued.
- Taxi, ad agency for Motrin, created a site-promo to target a niche audience, moms who wear snuglis. Thinking was babywearing causes back pain and Motrin relieves backpain. Problem was, spot was created by team who never wore snuglies and apparently never consulted with people who were, making it appear that wearing your baby is akin to accessorizing and one does it to “totally look like an official mom” Hugh percentage of baby wearers are Dads.
- Spot went viral, but not in the way they hoped. Influential blogger moms, one of who wrote for National Lampoon, saw it and posted her outrage on twitter. A few hours later, #MotrinMoms was #1 on search site. Then it went to youtube. This video went live at 3AM Sunday morning. Marketing director was contacted and Motrin site was taken down by 8 PM Sunday. By Monday morning, they were looking for social media help.
- Monday morning. Apology sounds as if put together by committee, insincere. CEO should have been involved. Problem was slowness of updating a site. Having an established social media presence would have helped. They could have: started a parenting blog. What else?
