Social Media is a communication tool.
It’s anything that uses the internet to facilitate communication.
The value of social media is the networks and communities of relationships that it can cultivate.
A relationship can only be valuable if it is real. It’s totally useless to both parties if it’s fake.
***
A communications strategy is used to establish the means by which you are going to deliver value to both ends of the relationship.
A paradigm based on principles.

What’s the value?
• Identify a clear value proposition.– Why should someone click ‘Like’?– Why should someone click ‘Comment’?
• Might be ‘free stuff’ or something of more meaningful value (improve experience for others, inform of issues, get to front of queue, preferred channel)
• What’s the value to you?

52The real reason why it’s awesome (what you don’t see).
• The entire organisation working together (almost everyone, that’s hard.)• It’s not all on a single person (~2-4 people, hundreds of officers, one presence)• The process of how they built that (slowly)• There is no workflow diagram, no formalized process – it needs to be fluid.
(because they have no idea what they’re going to find tomorrow)• But you need to learn the rules before you break them – building trust is a slow
process.• Expectations being exceeded (authenticity, humanization, empathy) • Because it’s fluid and because they have a clearly communicated centre of gravity,
there’s no obstacle they can’t get around. (“We’ve never had a major problem.”)• Everyone has ownership, everyone is on the same page.
