Cultivating Brand Ambassadors through PR and social media engagement. Great brands are joined through fan engagement rather than just marketing. PR professionals engage consumers in conversations online and offline. Brands can become remarkable and break through clutter by engaging consumers in conversations on various social media platforms to build community, capital, and loyalty which leads to profits through advocacy and evangelism. Measuring social media engagement, brand awareness, customer satisfaction, and sales is important for continued engagement.

Your Core),Don’t bother trying to reach influencers.EXAMPLE: Jay Baer says, “Your facebook page isn’t a place to create new customers from thin air, it’s a clubhouse.”Once you’ve focused efforts on current customers who have a passion for your business,Then put some focus on influencers who bring the audience.

- Steven Covey 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.National Instruments used an especially creative approach with its customer influencers, who were mid-level IT managers at the companies they did business with. NI engaged with them by providing powerful research and financial proof points they could take to senior management, showing that NI solutions were creating strategic benefits. That got NI into the C-suite. It also increased the reputation of the mid-level advocates, who were seen as strategic thinkers bringing new ideas to senior management.

- * Galvanizing its fans. Love what The Humane Society is going on their Facebook page with its “Tell Strawberry to go Fur-Free” campaign. They’ve set up a tab devoted to this campaign where they ask for supporters’ help. It’s easy. It’s simple. And it wouldn’t take a Humane Society supporter more than 2 minutes to complete. What’s beautiful about this is they’re taking a fan base they know already supports their organization and just giving them a simple tool to help them advocate for a cause they care about. The ask isn’t much (personal information). They’ve even inserted the start to a personal note for supporters to send. Plus, by asking for personal information, they’re also opening up the door to building a more personal relationship with these folks by opting-in for more email communications from the Humane Society.(via http://www.arikhanson.com/2011/03/09/3-non-profit-social-media-case-studies-that-deserve-center-stage/)

- This campaign challenged the power of social media to counter a public American Airline’s complaint of a well-known American celebrity who had publicly decried the airline’s reputation on Twitter. Using Facebook and Twitter, the airline posted an official statement of defense of its policies and standards of conduct. The popular incident gained the attention of millions of online followers and was praised by legions of social influencers for its smart digital savviness.Digital PR Award Winner 2012
- Perhaps as a result of the incident, which Baldwin explained in detail in a piece on The Huffington Post, Words With Friends gained 100,000 players today on Facebook alone, according to AppData. And, based on AppData's readings on the iOS version of Words With Friends, the game's ranking experienced major spikes in all categories. Again, behold the power of celebrity.Via http://blog.games.com/2011/12/08/alec-baldwin-words-with-friends-zynga-response/
- The topic of “newsjacking”—which refers to angling a pitch to a news story—became a hot topic after a handful of public relations bloggers offered advice for doing so during Sandy. Many commenters online found the advice distasteful. At least one New York Times reporter also commented about PR pitches after Sandy made landfall. Stuart Elliott, the longtime advertising and marketing reporter for the Times, tweeted: Stuart Elliott @stuartenytTo those PR people who think you've waited a decent interval after #Sandy to resume business as usual ... you would be wrongThe tweet drew a chorus of approvals from Elliott’s followers, including a number of people in the PR industry. In an interview this week, Elliott told PR Daily that a PR pro “who was coming on fairly strong” about a pitch inspired the tweet. “Somebody had been emailing me at work before the storm, trying to get me to cover something,” he explained. On Tuesday morning, as Elliott worked from home, the PR professional tweeted a message to him, saying: “Good morning Stuart, hope you are safe from Sandy. When you get a moment I have sent you an email.” Unless the information you’re sending to reporters is pertinent to the disaster, ditch the email and phone pitches. The reporters in the areas effected by a disaster are working through the event, while also dealing with their personal travails (a flooded or collapsed home, and so on). An inbox full of pitches about a product launch or game-changing redesign will only alienate—perhaps irrevocably—the very people you’re paid to appeal to.

- Don’t Be a Faker. Anonymously or not.Via http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/10/dont-mess-with-twitter.htmlWhen Twitter user @comfortablysmug starting spreading false information last night, Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski went after him - first by tweet, then by tumblr:[I]n the chaos around Hurricane Sandy, [@comfortablysmug tried] to trick his media followers, and their followers and readers in turn, with fake news. He reported, falsely, on a total blackout in Manhattan, on a flood on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and other things that didn’t happen. Two of his tweets garnered more than 500 retweets. One drew a rebuke from ConEd’s official Twitter account. Twitter’s self-correction mechanism — rebukes and rebuttals from knowledgeable sources — shut down each rumor, but not until at least one, the flood claim, had bled widely into the television media.Today, Jack Stuefexposed the Internet villian:What leads a person to do such a thing, which his critics have likened to shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater? It’s unclear. But perhaps it has something to do with the nature of anonymity. If there are no consequences for posting false "BREAKING" news, there’s an incentive to do it to an accumulate a large audience.What @comfortablysmug didn’t count on, apparently, was losing that anonymity. Based on photos he censored and posted to the account but I found unedited elsewhere, @comfortablysmug is ShashankTripathi, a hedge-fund analyst and the campaign manager of Christopher R. Wight, this year’s Republican candidate for the U.S. House from New York’s 12th congressional district. FEC documents show Wight has paid Tripathi thousands of dollars this election cycle as a "consultant." @comfortablysmug has been a vocal supporter of Mitt Romney and posted tweets suggesting he attended this year’s Republican convention. He’s listed here by a local Republican group coordinating volunteers for a Romney phone bank.John Herrmanconsiders the debunking of such falsehoods proof that Twitter is trustworthy overall:Twitter beckons us to join every compressed news cycle, to confront every rumor or falsehood, and to see everything. This is what makes the service so maddening during the meta-obsessed election season, where the stakes are unclear and the consequences abstract. And it's also what makes is so valuable during fast-moving, decidedly real disasters. Twitter is a fact-processing machine on a grand scale, propagating then destroying rumors at a neck-snapping pace. To dwell on the obnoxiousness of the noise is to miss the result: that we end up with more facts, sooner, with less ambiguity.... The first draft of the popular history of 9/11 was written on live television by a group of exhausted, horrified and often isolated TV reporters. Misstatements, confusion, and some of the messier stages of live reporting, filtered across the country by phone, email and word of mouth without context. Much of the raw materiel of the "9/11 truth" movement is rooted in sloppy early news reports. Some of most insidious myths about Hurricane Katrina were seeded the same way.
- Case StudyBe completely up front and honest with:WhyExpectationsBe genuine. Remember that ambassadors like being flattered. Inviting them to an exclusive legitimizes their position.
- CONNECT THE DOTSWho is your audience. Provide them with resources, key words, etc. that add to the engagement. (Ex: QR Code on hard hat.)Remove hindrances to success. (Ex: don’t give handouts to people on a tour when you want their hands free to do #sm.)CLOSING THE LOOPSend personalized thank you’sUse keywords and specifics from event (Ex: hashtag and Parkview twitter handle to encourage and reinforce further engagement.)
