The problems with this is that many brands continue to whistle past their own graves. If a company wants to use social media and benefit from the tantalizing dynamics at play in so many case studies (most notably of late, the Old Spice personalized tweets), they must first look to themselves for the solutions they seem to think lie somewhere else.

Comment avez-vous appris la mort de Mickael Jackson ? Que partagez-vous avec Britney Spears, Demi Moore ou Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet ? Les média sociaux sont votre point commun. En 2006, Time Magazine nous nommait tous personne de l’année. En 2007, le même magazine titrait sur eux, les médias. Une prise de conscience réelle se faisait jour d’une exigence de participation, une soif de relation au sens d’intervention dans les décisions et les processus collectifs des utilisateurs internet. Les réseaux sociaux ont pris le relais des blogs dans les médias relationnels. L’internaute n’a peut être pas encore décidé de devenir média (Olivier Blondeau) mais une véritable révolution culturelle a lieu transformant notre échelle de valeur et opérant une translation de légitimité de la production vers l’échange.

Content Must be Engaging and Compelling to be Successful, Say B2B Marketers Effective content doesn’t depend on SEO friendliness or quality of editing, say B2B marketers responding to an Optify survey [download page] released this month. Instead, it’s all about engaging and compelling storytelling. Asked the 3 most important elements of successful content, survey respondents resoundingly chose this element (81.5%), far ahead of others such as originality (52.6%) and custom content (49.2%).

This focus on storytelling may be why these marketers tend to see longer content formats and personal contact as more effective. Almost 8 in 10 consider case studies to be effective in engaging prospects and delivering message, with white papers (73%) and in-person events (72%) following. By contrast, formats such as advertorials (18%) and community threading (20%) are seen as effective by only a minority of respondents, presumably as they don’t allow for the same level of engagement.

Comme moi, je suis sûr que vous serez étonné de voir StumbleUpon en seconde position. Regardons maintenant sur un plan national : What Makes Up a Social Marketing Strategy? It’s quickly becoming common wisdom among marketers that a strategy is needed to use social media effectively. Of course, that doesn’t mean a majority of those involved in the space have gotten on board yet and created such a well-thought-out approach. According to a May 2010 study by Digital Brand Expressions, 52% of social marketers are operating “without a game plan,” similar to the 50% found in April 2010 by R2integrated. Further, many that do have a strategy find it doesn’t address all their concerns or fit their needs. The most common elements included by companies with a social media communications plan were resource-allocation guidelines for ongoing activities, registration of branded usernames on social sites and research into competitors’ use of social media.

To be sure, those are all critical components of an effective strategy, but they are only the beginning. Keep your business ahead of the digital curve. Médias sociaux : usages & chiffres clés.
