CASE Study: Financial Services
How Shane Phillips penetrated into a heavily guarded Financial Services Sector, and achieved a Blue Ocean Offering using Social Media.
Case Study: Financial Services ME
PROBLEMFinancial Services in the Middle East is characterized by strong boutiques presence that offers highly specialized expertise, with strong presence in key global markets. Extremely difficult to penetrate by a global firm which is NOT strong in Financial Services, and little to no stable presence in key global FS HubsClients are hardly willing to entertain even a casual meeting with our consultantsWe needed a strategy that will help us penetrate into clients

Our Social Media Presence
How we appear on LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc
Our Presence on Social Media
Company Page = 5Groups = 11Team = 486 ProfilesJob Postings = 1 + 6
Considerations
Do we consolidate under one company Page or open it up to Offices to create different company pages.Should we offer Jobs / Promotions in groups?Should we offer job posts in careers or groups? Is it OK to Post a Job for an internal position of Researcher or consultant? Should we show Follow Us on LinkedIn on our Website homepage?
Our Presence on Social Media
Tweets = 59Followers = 102Following = 0
Considerations
Is it time to start tweeting all Articles and Posts from ExecutiveNewswire to our twitter account? Should we show Follow Us on Twitter on our Website homepage?
IMPORTANT: We need an active action plan to grow our follower base!TARGET: 4,000 followers by Dec 12
Our Presence on Social Media
Pages = 3Groups = 3
Considerations
Shouldnt we be regulating SCI Activity on Facebook rather than just saying no to it? If we ignore it, does it not effect our branding to be presented in a poor image? Should we continue with Pages and Groups, and get offices to manage their own within guidelines? IMPORTANT: Consolidate under one Company, Stanton Chase International. Develop a Branded Company Page consistent with our branding.
Our Presence on Social Media
YouTube
Videos = Around 15SC Channels = 4Ind Channels = 10
Considerations
Should we consider a consolidated Stanton Chase International Channel with more than 15 videos.
IMPORTANT: Consolidate in a Single ChannelPromote Channel to get subscribersBrand the Channel to comply with SCI Image / Colors / Branding.
