Old World New World Order• TV favoured as most powerful – yet likely most
expensive and most difficult to measure results..........
• You can now have a 2 minute video created for £200! Spread globally............
• In 1835 James Gordon Bennet founded the first mass circulation daily paper in New York (Herald)
• It cost $10,000 in today’s money*
• By 1850 to achieve the same result cost $2,500,000 in todays money...........*

The Point? Inverted social capital
• The internet and Social Media specifically has created a level playing field for promoting your organisation
• You can compete equally and very often more successfully than large brands - because they do not understand social media due to inertia – clinging onto old ways of doing business!

Creating collaborative conversations…
New World Order• Social media touches every aspect of your
organisation, internally and externally• Are you listening managing & monitoring this?• By not engaging - other people control what is
said about you• Engaging overcomes this whilst beneficially
attracting people/customers towards you• Are your competitors ahead of you – who is
dominating the internet space around your product/service?

"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977.
"640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Attributed to Bill Gates, 1981.
"Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996 hinge on the Internet's continuing exponential growth. But I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse."Robert Metcalfe, founder of 3Com, 1995.
