Channel and message identification challenge
Behaviour identification and response challenge
Ability to reach the whole target group with generic
information
Ability to respond to specific situations or
requirements
Address overall brand image and reputation
Solved via production of communications outputs
Linked to specific operational issues
Solved via the design and implementation of business processes
Have clearly identifiable metrics (usually linked to measurable shifts in behaviours)
Example: Vodafone • Vodafone identified a long-
term need to hire 40 specialist technicians (in an area not conventionally associated with mobile telecoms). A £1.5 million budget was allocated (advertising and agency fees)
• Objective: To hire at least 50% via direct recruitment (via social channels), thus saving agency costs
Example: Vodafone • Process – train existing
employees on social networking and publication techniques – to raise the profile of Vodafone’s expertise and participation in this space. Note: they did not publish the availability of jobs
• Result: 80% of the hires made via direct recruitment, saving approx. £1.3 million

Social media is your campaign dashboard
