SEEDING CONTENT AND ENGAGING WITH OUR
AUDIENCE/ WIDENING THE CONVERSATION
CONTENT CREATION
Develop: Social auditing
These words will help you to seek out the conversations already going on in your area which will, in turn, help you to identify new people who
will become part of your audience. This audit will also help you to shape your future conversations so your content becomes even more effective and reaches the widest possible
audience.
Develop: Identifying people
These will comprise your core audience who you wish to reach every time you have
something important to say or share and, ideally, pro-actively engage with. This list will
change over time and will need to be reviewed.
1. Identify a core top 10 list (who are on social media)
2. Identify a further list of 25 people or organisations who are our wider advocates, influencers or press
Develop: Mentionmapp
One thing to check to ensure that you have found the
obvious terms that may have been overlooked because if
their simplicty is by running a search through
http://www.mentionmapp.com
This will display mentions, hashtags and Twitter users to
the account which can then be expanded to show related hashtags and accounts.
Develop: Twitter (organic)
You can use your lists of terms in several ways to identify who you wish to make part
of your core or general audience.
One way is to run search terms though Twitter’s organic search functionality which
will immediately identify users.
From this list you can then check out their profile and tweets to gauge their relevance to your organisation. Don’t merely consider the amount of followers they have – look at the bigger picture (the content they share and uptake, job position, connections etc.)
Remember to check those who already follow you/who you follow!
Develop: Tweet Archivist
Run your terms through http://www.tweetarchivist.com. A free trial is available for three days and the archive should be monitored each of these days.
The display will show top users who use that term, as well as show related terms
which you may not have thought of and can use to widen your search.
Consider again their reach, what they actively tweet about and what they do to
determine whether they make the grade.
Develop: LinkedIn
Selecting “updates” will display all those people who have mentioned your key
term. Check them in a wider social context: what groups are they members
of? Do they have a blog? Are they on Twitter? Assess which of these is
appropriate to engage with them on.
Using your list of terms, use the search functionality on LinkedIn to identify relevant groups but also individuals.
Develop: Stories and conversations
Use http://storify.com to search out general news articles or blog posts that
relate to your term – it will also display tweets.
Storify is also a good site to post content on
(tweets, online articles, blog posts) to showcase the story we want to tell and boost amplification.
Set up a www.google.com/ale
rts - to keep real-time, daily or weekly
track of your key terms.
This will identify news, websites and, more importantly, blogs that mention
these terms.
Use https://en.mention.net/ to track web and social web mentions - including blogs and
forums - of your keywords and
phrases.

Develop: Protocols and training

must, especially if you have lots of voices in your

sure that you are showcasing a
balanced view of who you are.
