Create Value for Audience
Key questions:

entertain my audience?
• Why will they share it?
19. Make it Emotive
The Psychology of Sharing
The sharing of stories or information may be driven in part by
arousal. When people are physiologically aroused, whether due to
emotional stimuli or otherwise, the autonomic nervous is
activated, which then boosts social transmission.
Simply put, evoking certain emotions can help increase the chance
a message is shared.
In a 2011 study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the
Association for Psychological Science
20. What Sparks Sharing
Some of the emotive content that sparks sharing:
• Amusing • Cute
• Moving • Sex
• Illuminating • Fearful
• Inspiring • Anger
• Shocking • Controversial
21. Power of Storytelling
One of the quickest ways to
establish an emotional connection
with someone is to tell them a story.
Stories are our sense-making
tools.
23. 3) Paid, Earned, Owned Distribution
Myth: Social and Viral Marketing is Free
A good distribution plan includes coordinated Paid, Earned and
Owned components. Each of these requires resources.
Owned: It’s critical that you invest and build your own channels-
email, blog, social, a YouTube channel.
Paid: Hyper-targeted Social Ads and Promoted Content
Facebook Video, YouTube, Video Networks like ShareThrough, Unruly
Earned: Seeding the video with Influencers, blogs, media properties.

Did I just add Social to the front of Video to make it sexy and “relevant”?NOT User-generated Video- The Apps like SocialCam & Viddy - basically Instagram for Videos http://mashable.com/2012/07/25/viddy-mobile-social-video/
Notes:That’s like saying you make blockbuster movies or bestselling books. A Social Video can be successful without achieving viral status- Viral doesnt necessarily mean goodMy Bora Bora Story www.ownborabora.com

(Learn from us- AutoSchedule 50K views)Network Effect: Kony 2012 +52 Million viewsNotes: Backstory on Kony.86 Million ViewsKony 2012 (officially KONY 2012 or Kony2012) is a short film created by Invisible Children, Inc., authors of Invisible Children, and released on March 5, 2012.[2][3][4][5] The film's purpose is to promote the charity's "Stop Kony" movement to make Ugandan indicted war criminal and International Criminal Court fugitive Joseph Kony globally known in order to have him arrested by December 2012, the time when the campaign expires.[6]The film spread virally.[7][8][9] As of 30 March 2012, the film had over 86 million views on video-sharing website YouTube,[10] and over 16.6 million views on Vimeo,[11] with other viewing emanating from a central "Kony 2012" website operated by Invisible Children. The intense exposure of the video caused the "Kony 2012" website to crash shortly after it began gaining widespread popularity.[12] A poll suggested that more than half of young adult Americans heard about Kony 2012 in the days following the video's release.[13][14]Thus far the campaign has resulted in a resolution by the United States Senate and contributed to the decision to send troops by the African Union.
Social Media is about listening to your customers/audienceThis can be a source of what they care about..what discussion are already happening in your target community and how can you be a part of itHootSuite.. Search terms, geo targetted, You Tube integration that can help you monitor the conversations on your videos
Notes:Works best at the two opposite end of the funnel, awareness and relationship.Top of Funnel:Awareness: Views, Traffic, Shift Perception, Introduce Brand, Product, Thought leadership, to tell Success Stories, Forming ConnectionsMid Funnel- Conversion Explain a concept - How it works Lecture SeriesRelationship/Reccos: Building community- Weekly Video Shows, , tutorial, how-tos, User-GeneratedIt’s not the best as a discreet lead gen initative.. It can be part of a larger lead gen camapign
It’s a balance but if I had to pick one .. When it comes to Social Video it’s Magic.. It’s a creative exercise to try to tell stories that will resonate w your audience and inspire them to share.. Or act..Yes a clear CTA is important but sharing the message within the video to the right audience is your main goal
Clear Measurable Objectives: Metrics - Cost Per View, Shares, Views, CTR, Clicks, Time SpentContent: Audience, Current Beliefs, Desired BeliefsFocus- What’s the one key message you want your audience to take away.A Distribution Plan.. you can just build and they will come
The content needs to be valuable to your audience for them to watch and needs to be super engaging for them to share it with their audience.
Note: ArousalIt’s not logic but emotion.. just like it’s like the best sales leaders it’s building relationships not facts that close deals.. Same w Social VideoDont cram in features and facts and at the expense of creating an emotional connection
I like the positiveones..and a study on NY Times artice shares prove its more effective than negative.. Howver inciting anger…. Or fear or contraversy can work
Note: Let me tell you a story….Shulders go down.. We are openWhen we share things we most care about we do it in stories..ourkids..ourfave destination we tell storiesActually triggers a different part of the brain then logic based.The basic structure of stories…beginning, middle and end they need conflict… and that is very different then traditional amrketing where everything is unicorn and rainbows.Telling stories forces you to be human centred….not robotic marketing speak.- lots of research and a whole other talk
Paid, Earned & Owned Media
Note: There is Magic involved this Logic step. of a Distribution Plan.. there is momentum that needs to be fueled, it’s like starting a fire, you need to have kindling to get it going… or throwing a party or throwing a party by a fireNote: Kony 2012 only had a handful of views until they deployed their “target influencers” plan, with Oprah and Rhianna jumped on.
