Building brands and interactions through Content Marketing & Social Media
Social Object Theory
How do I make Social Media bear fruit?
Object = Content
Mike Henderson
Content = Search
  
The belief that all social interactions center around an object. Relevant and meaningful dialogue can only occur around an object that both parties are engaged in.
Your brand becomes the social object
Linked to a goal
consuming
joining
interacting
purchasing
sharing
Content
drives
 engagement
Where they are searching
Funnels to conversion
If the goal is to sell products or services,
then content is the social object that 
drives search, awareness and interaction
around that goal.
All audiences are social
The way online activities have evolved has made that socialization more powerful
Content is never a dead end
This works because shopping has always been highly social
By integrating your content with marketing goals you can benefit from that socializaion.
Thank you!
Listen twice as much as you talk
You have two ears one mouth

WHY?
Pareto Principle
Unconstrained social systems where participation is not regulated
In social media, the top 1% amounts to 25% of all participation
the top 20% of participants = 80% of participation
Then the majority of participants participate at a below average amount
130 freinds on Facebook
300 followers on Twitter


82% have less than 100
3/4 of all Twitter users have < 50
Content Marketing is not PR
Focus on content and interactions
