How has the web changed?
What is Web 2.0?
User generated content
Interaction
Exchange of content
Social
Dialogue
The mass adoption of online social networking means that providing quality content is no longer sufficient. Users are used to interacting with other site users and sharing quality content outside of the sites where they first locate it.

What is social media?
“Social Media is a group of Internet-based applications [Facebook, YouTube, Twitter] that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user generated content.”

New media is the combination and convergence of computing and information technology, communications networks and digitised media and information content. The interlinking of these three key pillars has arisen due to the development and popularisation of the Internet coupled with the accessibility of activities, products and services within the digital media sphere

Internet use in Australia
In 2010-11, 6.2 million households had broadband internet access
This is an increase of over one million households since 2008-09 – almost three quarters (73%) of all households now have broadband
Over two thirds (68%) of internet users made a purchase over the internet in 2010-11. The most popular types of purchases were travel, accommodation, memberships or tickets of any kind; and CDs, music, DVDs, videos, books or magazines.
One of the most popular activities performed on the internet was social networking.

43% discussed or added personal comments about brands online
39% posted reviews of brands online on a regular basis
47% connected with an organisation via a social networking site

Impact and outcome evaluation
Evaluation
Neiger BL, Thackeray R, Van Wagenen SA, Hanson CL, West JH, Barnes MD, et al. Use of Social Media in Health Promotion Purposes, Key Performance Indicators, and Evaluation Metrics. Health promotion practice. 2012;13(2):159-64.
1) Low engagement: an agreement or preference for content
2) Medium engagement: people are involved in creating and sharing content with the capacity to influence others
3) High engagement: actual participation in off-line interventions that results from some exposure to a social media campaign

Case studies
Lessons Learned
Integration
The effectiveness of social media campaign can be positively affected by the use of traditional media
Integration with broader campaigns seems to be useful
social media greatly benefits from traditional media, including earned news media, that helps drive awareness
58
Personal benefits
Successful campaigns make users feel like a member of a community and that they can express a part of myself to others
Opportunity to win a prize that is both relevant and desirable, not the ubiquitous iPad of most online marketing contests
Offer rewards for participating and spreading marketing messages
Participants like interacting on social media because it can be both anonymous and personal
59
Community
Partnerships with organisations and people who already have large social media followings is useful
Focus on continuously building social media communities, it may then be possible to capitalise on that support for future campaigns
Online campaigns communications should routinely and explicitly ask all members and followers to help build the community as it leads not only to more followers, but more highly engaged followers
60
Promotion
Motivated volunteer seeders who can leverage their personal connections with others are far more likely to generate action than impersonalised ads
Recruiting larger numbers of seeders may assist in campaign promotion
Users need to be able to easily receive and share valuable information with other people
The campaign content should promote positive discussion and sharing
A clearly bounded timeframe for a campaign creates a sense of anticipation and excitement among participants
Keep track of and use champions from previous campaigns to spread the word for emerging/new campaigns
Viral growth cannot be guaranteed or depended on, a communications strategy to ensure a strong launch and ongoing promotion of the campaign is necessary.
Promotion require continuous seeding, not as simple as one hit and then, fingers crossed, your campaign goes viral
61
Use of social media tools
Exploit already available everyday, familiar activists, like photo-tagging and re-Tweeting
Do not employ any complex third party tools or require participants to register or give any personal details this can severely dissuade participation and engagement
High bounce rates to external websites suggest that click through ads on social media sites may work better if users are sent to another social media page, as opposed to being forced offsite to an external website. This works both ways, for example, the majority of Facebook page landings come from another Facebook page.
Ideally, campaigns should spread from friend to friend through the automated sharing process of existing social network page feeds, and not require further action of participants
A variety of social media vehicles and relationships can increase the participants’ involvement in the program
62
Content
Online campaigns work best when there is a clear and achievable call to action
Create fun and positive associations with your brand, or alternatively, authoritative and trustworthy may be more crucial for health organisations
Generating a large number of shares or having a campaign go viral cannot be seen as the primary, most important outcome of a social media campaign. A campaign that is both sharable and effective in motivating people to change is essential.

What gets shared?

Factors
Encourages/promotes interaction
Establishes credibility
Taps positive emotions
Simple messaging
Create a story/narrative
Sense of urgency (very conditional though – evidence very mixed)
But feel free to ignore these too – high degree of variability about what
aspects of messaging between cases/contexts
Some of these factors are also in competition, e.g. simplicity and
messaging

Challenges, barriers and enablers
+
Audiences may be more difficult to target and define on social media
(clustering by interest may make psychographics more relevant)
+
Potential to exacerbate inequalities
+
Resources
Digital advertising has been proven to be a very cost-effective tool
Developing and promoting a successful social media campaign may be lower cost than a mass media campaign but it can be time and human resource intensive
Simple and low tech and low cost campaigns can be highly effective when conducted through the appropriate channels
Staff
Staff need to be trained in online health promotion, social media analytics and developing shareable, content
A personal approach, from individual staff members, rather than a ‘”corporate” profile page may be more effective in reaching users

Risks
+1. Do not mix the professional and the personal in ways likely to bring your employer into disrepute.2. Do not undermine your effectiveness at work.3. Do not imply employer endorsement of your personal views.4. Do not disclose confidential information obtained through work.
