Why are you here?




                    bigducknyc.com
I write 30 tweets on a Friday, have my E.D.
approve them on a Monday, and then send
them out during the week. That's okay right?




It takes time to see the results from social
media; my boss is upset that money hasn't
come pouring in after just one month.


                                               bigducknyc.com
I'm tired of him dismissing social media as if it
is irrelevant, why won't he just embrace it?




My CEO thinks that a 21-year old intern is the
only person that can 'do' social media for us.
She doesn't see it as a marketing tool or one
we should invest time or money in.



                                             bigducknyc.com
Social media is a       Social media is
waste of time.          integral to our org.

Creating social
media guidelines




                   bigducknyc.com
Let go.
 •   You never had
     complete control over
     your message
 •   The conversation is
     happening, with or
     without you!
 •   Mistakes will happen




                     bigducknyc.com
Why create a social media policy?




                             bigducknyc.com
What’s in a social media policy?
1.   Overview of your social media presence
2.   High-level guidance
3.   Specific guidelines
4.   Conversation guidelines
5.   Personal/professional boundaries
6.   Tips and how-tos

Tips for successful guidelines
• Strike a friendly tone
• Encourage experimentation & questions
• Try to keep guidelines open-ended
  where possible, rather than restrictive
• Appoint one or two people to manage
• Keep your audiences in mind—what do
  they expect from you


                                            bigducknyc.com
Involve your staff
• Identify a go-to person for questions
• Conduct surveys/interviews to get
  feedback, assess interest, etc.
• Share draft policy in a staff meeting and
  invite feedback/questions
• Provide trainings on privacy
  settings, tools, etc.
• Include in staff orientation

How other CEOs are
using social media

“My personal mission for
         engaging in social media spaces
             is to help spark thoughtful
          conversation and ignite action.
         Both will lead to positive change
          in the world, and I truly believe
          that is the best possible use for
            the power of social media.”

Parting tips for CEOs

  minutes/day
• Get a mentor: Ask for help
• Experiment: Pick one channel to start
  with
• Be yourself: Share your POV and your
  passion
• Privacy: Check your settings (again)
• Turn it off: It‟s okay to have „down‟ time


                                          bigducknyc.com
