iStrategy 2010 – Moving Away From Campaigns To Constant Engagement

Back from Berlin @iStrategy2010, a social media strategy event that was jam packed with awesome speakers, brilliant digital marketers and lots of great insightful actionable insights. For those who couldn’t make it you can find a couple of the iStrategy presentations/workshops on Slideshare.

One of my favourite speakers at the event Michael Donnely, Group Director, Worldwide Interactive Marketing at The Coca-Cola Company presented “Coke’s ‘fans first’ approach in social communities“.

View more presentations from iStrategy.

Their approach is refreshing (no pun intended) – they look at each new community (FaceBook, Flickr, Twitter etc) as a new country – listening first before taking their brand there.

They have 3000 marketeers feed their social media campaigns, with localised content, lots of moderation and multiple online listening posts (Michael mentioned they are currently in talks with Radian6) following conversations, interesting user generated content (UGC) which they then promote (with permission) on their digital marketing channels.

The video below was found and promoted on Coke’s Open Happiness site – UGC content like this is every marketers dream – not many brands are as loved as Coke’s, imagine walking into work and finding these video clips awaiting you in your listening posts – Wow!
