Achieving Escape Velocity
• Use your organization's star employees to provide a personal perspective
• Adjust your communication strategies and tactics to incorporate and effectively use social media to communicate real-time activities
• Find and connect with your fan base and bring them into a community
• Enable and encourage interaction with your followers
• Host an out of this world Tweetup (even if you don't have a space shuttle)

Social Media Opportunities at NASA
Social media tools allow NASA to:
• TELL our own story (without a filter)
• Listen, respond and INTERACT with followers
• Build a community of advocates through
ENGAGEMENT

Incorporating Social Media
• Just do it. Don’t waste any more time.
• You learn by doing.
• Look for those who are doing it well and see what you can copy and apply.
• Social media is most effective during a crisis, but you must have a presence before the crisis hits.
• At NASA, the social media function is a good fit in our existing Office of Communications.

Enable and encourage interaction
• Remember that social media is a conversation –
spend as much time listening as you do speaking.
• Provide GREAT content that will get people talking.
• If you start a conversation, participate in it;
don’t start it and walk away.
• Ask for and enable feedback – respond to mentions on Twitter, comments on blogs, Facebook, etc.

“You may not have a spaceship, but your company has a fan base. They won't think of themselves as fans until they're in a room with like-minded people. They won't think of themselves as members of a community until
YOU bring them together.”

Provide a Personal Perspective
• Anthropomorphized accounts like @MarsPhoenix
• Personal/professional accounts: @Lori_Garver + @Astro_Wheels
• Personalize your interactions:
– Be human in your posts – if you screw up, admit it and apologize.
– Don’t be afraid of emoticons, but use them sparingly.
– Emotive words work well for NASA: “whew” “cool” “embarrassed”
