When it comes to social media, what is the first thing a communicator/marketer should do?
A. Build a Facebook Page
B. Engage in a listening campaign
C. Come up with a big idea/underlying theme
ANSWER B: ENGAGE IN LISTENING
Before launching a specific program or coming up with a grand idea, you can ready yourself for success by gathering the information needed to reach an intimate understanding of local consumers. How do our customers engage across the social landscape in your market and what are they saving about our products? How is our competition utilizing social marketing?
You can gain these insights by actively listening, watching, gathering and learning from the online landscape before diving in. It is one of the reasons Edelman undertakes a huge amount of research on reputation drivers and online/offline impact.
