Helping you make <strong>digital</strong> work for your business<br />

<strong>potential</strong>


How we create, consume and share information has<br />

changed and this presents us both a challenge and an<br />

opportunity when it comes to business.<br />

Creation <strong>of</strong> content is not <strong>the</strong> privilege <strong>of</strong> a few ­ everyone has <strong>the</strong> opportunity to tell <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />

story and with <strong>the</strong> right content, businesses have <strong>the</strong> ability to influence and engage audiences<br />

far beyond <strong>the</strong>ir own geographical borders.<br />

The challenge is to make this work for your business. Without a plan, <strong>the</strong> only<br />

disruption is likely to be your business. Who are you talking to, what are you<br />

saying, where are you saying it, how do you manage it and what defines<br />

success?<br />

A <strong>digital</strong> communication strategy can help you unlock <strong>the</strong> <strong>potential</strong> and<br />

more importantly position you to take advantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ever evolving<br />

technologies that are released.<br />

It might be free to create a social media account however it requires resource ­ time and<br />

sometimes money to make it work. Managed poorly it could cost more than it needs to but it<br />

may also impact your business reputation.


There's no one size fits all ­ some<br />

businesses work on Facebook and<br />

some don't. The direction you take<br />

depends on a number <strong>of</strong> factors.<br />

Using 10 simple questions we help<br />

our clients to build a strategy,<br />

which enables <strong>the</strong>m to:<br />

Understand who <strong>the</strong>ir audience is<br />

Develop and plan content, which meets <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>ir audience<br />

Make an informed decision on <strong>the</strong> channels <strong>the</strong>y want<br />

to use (including <strong>the</strong>ir own website)<br />

Know <strong>the</strong> resources, capability and policies required to<br />

help <strong>the</strong>m manage <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>digital</strong> engagement to add<br />

value without risk to reputation<br />

Define and measure success <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

<strong>digital</strong> engagement.<br />

It's also worth thinking about how you can incorporate crisis and continuity management<br />

plans into strategy. How can your <strong>digital</strong> channels support your manage a crisis (or do<br />

you need a back up plan) and how do you manage a social media or <strong>digital</strong> crisis?<br />

Is a measure <strong>of</strong> a good strategy that you have 10,000 followers on Facebook or a single post<br />

earned 200 likes and 50 shares? No, a measure <strong>of</strong> a good strategy is that your efforts helped<br />

your business to achieve a better outcome ­ so your starting question is: "What is <strong>the</strong> business<br />

purpose?"<br />
