Editor's Notes
- #2: The idea behind social media is to participate in the flow of information. Successful CEOs do this through their brand so that people engage with their brand’s perspective.
- #3: Naomi Simson communicates her brand effectively through her profile and content pieces. The summary doesn’t have to be a CV. You can promote your aspirations for the future if that suits your agenda.
- #14: There is a significant piece of work to carry out here with HRS and Marketing and Public Relations.
- #18: The next best thing to being an influencer
- #22: The 4-1-1 RULE of Online Content Marketing - 1 self serving post to 1 Twitter retweet or 1 LinkedIn share and sharing of 4 external content pieces. Remember to write your own content too.
- #25: This is because not all followers or connections are reading your content all the time. Depending on how many people they are following there newsfeed is often very crowded. Only 15% of your audience will be checking their feed extensively (up to 7 times a day).
- #26: The media team does this for the University’s LinkedIn page. You could choose to often share content from UoN’s channels with a personal comment to your LinkedIn and Twitter.
- #29: This is also part of a significant corporatepiece we need to work on
