Social Media Manager, Mary Cate Duffy, just got back from a trip to San Francisco to learn more about marketing and innovation. She created a presentation to share what she learned.
8. The Right Medium
• The medium is the message
• Co-evolve the medium and its message
and the product and its context
• Experiment to find new mediums
• Think about how to get your innovative
product out to your customers in
innovative ways.
10. Social Media
• When social media is no longer a shiny
object how does it actually MATTER to
your business?
• Make an impact on your business with
social media
• You CAN source leads on social media.
Super valuable content + landing pages
= conversions
11. Find Your Niche
• Social accounts need a mission. Who
are your people.
• What are you sharing? Does it serve
that audience? Does it serve that
mission?
• Every social account should have a
mission, and then sharing content is
easy.
12. CONTENT IS KING
• Blend content with lifestyle information
AND your information
• Show what you know AND your
community
• People want to know EVERYTHING
• People want hyperlocal information
13. Cont.
• Everything is connected
• People want control
• Create the BEST consumer experience
you can
• Actively create the context for your
consumers to understand how your idea
fits into their lives
14. ….
• Content marketing helps a company
stay TOP OF MIND, so when the
consumer is ready to buy, they turn to
you without being forced
• People want to see THEMSELVES in
YOUR work. NOT YOU
• Build trust, credibility, & goodwill

15. And Some More
• Solve people’s problems. Don’t just
solve for their happiness, solve for their
success
• Your marketing materials should be
what people would pay you for
• What marketing content will your
customers THANK you for?
• Be USEFUL in every update
17. If you have a good enough
piece of content, THAT
becomes the influencer
18. Social Influencers
• Influence (is) PROVIDE attention and value
to others
• Be generous. The more you give, the more
you get.
• Build relationships
• Take some time to help the influencer first
• Show people you are promoting THEIR stuff
• If you are mentioned anywhere- reciprocate!
• Influence has completely inverted with social
media. Provide value to others. Shine
attention to others
21. Your Followers
• Everything is about the audience
• Are you attracting the right following?
• You need people who love how much you
helped them
• Know how these people are thinking about
your industry. That drives every decision
about what to share
• TREAT THE FOLLOWERS YOU HAVE
AMAZINGLY
22. In marketing, you want to
have as much information as
possible. A lack of information
slows down marketing.
23. Analytics
• Provide context to your data=
knowledge
• Pulling analytics is a great way to
enhance your consumer experience
• Don’t just look at vanity metrics
(impressions & reach). Measure what
you are actually trying to accomplish
(leads & conversions)
25. Consumer Experience
• It STARTS with the consumer
• Mobile is causing a major shift in the
consumer experience
• User experience creates business
opportunities
• Create true synergy with the
consumer…make it WE centric not ME
• Customer’s expect “frictionless”
transactions
26. Focus.
• Are you trying “every” possible tactic on
FB to generate leads? Knock it off and
get focused
• If you are in doubt, don’t do it.
• We are constantly obsessed with the
next “big” thing. Focus on where you
are.
• Don’t fear technology
• When you are starving, everything looks
good.
27. The Brand.
• What fuels your brand?
• Do you trust them?
• Are they excellent at what they do?
• Do they care about me?
• As the world gets smaller, branding is more
important than ever.
• People buy from people
• Brands are made up of people. The people are the
entire point.
30. Enchantment
• Always default to yes. How can I help you?
• The eyes are the key to a great smile. (No
more botox)
• Become a baker, not an eater.
• Baker’s do not see other people’s gains as
their loss
• Accept others for what they are
• Enchant ALL of the influencers
• If all else fails, get on your knees
