12:03 am cbaccus: RT @TheSocialCMO: So please join me in welcoming Rick Wion @rdublife as our first #MarketerMonday Chat SPECIAL guest! #MMchat
12:05 am rdublife: Who owns social media? One of my fave q's. Coming from PR, I have a bias towards that discipline but it should ultimately be shared #MMchat
12:05 am chieflemonhead: @cbaccus #MMChat
12:05 am TheSocialCMO: @cbaccus The hashtag for the chat is #MMchat
12:06 am rdublife: Every discipline should bring their unique skills to the table to "run" social media. To silo in one department is a mistake #MMchat
12:07 am matthod: RT @rdublife: Every discipline should bring their unique skills to the table to "run" social media. To silo in one department is a mistake #MMchat
12:07 am cbaccus: @rdublife Why do you think ownership keeps coming up? Is it that most orgs find it difficult to function in a matrix or shared way? #MMChat
12:07 am ambercleveland: RT @rdublife: Every discipline should bring their unique skills to the table to "run" social media. To silo in one department is a mistake #MMchat
12:08 am rdublife: At McDonalds we have a steering committee to set SM strategy that includes PR, advertising and media buying #MMchat
12:09 am TheSocialCMO: Q2 What dept or person is leading sm at your company? #MMchat
12:09 am rdublife: @cbaccus I think ownership is a hot topic because SM is highly visible and is the sexy marketing thing of the moment. #MMchat
12:09 am B2CMKTGInsider: @rdublife I agree with you 100%. All departments can benefit from social media and should work together - to silo it is a mistake #MMchat
12:10 am chieflemonhead: I'd like to 2nd @cbaccus's question: why do companies struggle so much with the "who owns" questions? #mmchat
12:10 am soumyapr: hi everyone. My name is Soumya Ravi - Dir. of Mktng at Sococo - www.sococo.com. Sorry for joining late #mmchat
12:11 am rdublife: @TheSocialCMO SM at McDonald is led by a steering committee (PR/Advertising and Media buying) #MMchat
12:11 am soumyapr: who owns SM? - different parts are owned by different groups #mmchat
12:11 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: Welcome to our first #MarketerMonday Chat! #MMchat ? I am your moderator @JeffAshcroft aka @TheSocialCMO Thank you for joining us!
12:11 am mongoosemetrics: @rdublife The steering committee idea makes a lot of sense for #SM strategy. Is everyone on board? #MMchat

12:12 am mnburgess: Other than coupons, what value has McDonald's found on Facebook? #MMchat
12:12 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: Topic for chat tonight is Social Media Alignment & b4 we get started, I'd like to provide a quick tweet Bio for Rick Wion @rdublife #MMchat
12:13 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: As Director of Social Media for McDonald's Rick is lead conversation strategist for one of the world's most well known brands #MMchat
12:13 am matthod: @rdublife That and no one seems to know who should control. It is still very new/foreign for many companies. #mmchat
12:13 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: Rick's efforts include social marketing campaigns, long-term branding, issues management, customer service and employee engagement #MMchat
12:13 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: Rick was VP of social media for GolinHarris in Chicago where he led SM work for Unilever, Dow, Johnson & Johnson among others #MMchat
12:13 am Cedric_Spring: Hello as well. I am the #socialmedia and marketing specialist @cedricspring. We are a promotional item comp #mmchat
12:13 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: To get things rolling & the conversation started , I have a few questions 4 Rick on Social Media Alignment & later we will have Q&A #MMchat
12:13 am mnburgess: At McDonald's is social media part of the overall media plan? #MMchat
12:14 am cbaccus: @rdublife Rick, where do you sit organizationally? And are u seen in the committee as the 'lead' for lack of a better term #MMChat
12:14 am chieflemonhead: Is ownership the real question, or is it "who executes"? If 1 person executes, how do they take all facets into consideration? #mmchat
12:15 am rdublife: @matthod Good point. At some companies the "ownership" of social media is just a means to try to control and minimize it #MMChat
12:16 am jeffthesensei: #mmchat Ownership is an issue because it means someone needs to be accountable. Marketers have always struggled with accountability.
12:16 am rdublife: @mnburgess social media is part of nearly all marketing plans that we execute. #MMChat
12:16 am matthod: @rdublife very true. Control in and of itself can be very difficult in Social Media, especially with so many disciplines involved. #mmchat
12:17 am chieflemonhead: RT @jeffthesensei: #mmchat Ownership is an issue because it means someone needs to be accountable. Marketers have always struggled with accountability.
12:17 am ckburgess: RT @rdublife: @matthod Good point. At some companies the "ownership" of social media is just a means to try to control and minimize it #MMChat
12:17 am rdublife: @cbaccus I sit in the communications department and am a driver of strategy. We tend to talk about the drivers instead of "owners" #MMChat
12:18 am mnburgess: Rick: Have the number of fans who ?like? McDonald's been increasing on Facebook? #MMchat
12:18 am SocialMktg_AM: Great to be with you all on #MMchat
12:18 am rdublife: @chieflemonhead Execution is done by various folks internally and through agencies. #MMChat
12:19 am chieflemonhead: @rdublife Really love the idea of "drivers" vs "owners". That's a great idea! #mmchat
12:20 am rdublife: @jeffthesensei I'm a firm believe that "ownership" reside with those who want to step up and be accountable for results #MMChat
12:20 am jeffthesensei: #MMchat Hi Rick, what exactly does Social Media Alignment mean to you and McDonald's?
12:20 am chieflemonhead: RT @rdublife: @jeffthesensei I'm a firm believe that "ownership" reside with those who want to step up and be accountable for results #MMChat
12:20 am dougschorr: RT @rdublife: @mnburgess social media is part of nearly all marketing plans that we execute. #MMChat
12:21 am mnburgess: @rdublife what is your (McDonald's) #1 goal using Twitter? #MMchat
12:21 am SEMSEO1: RT @SocialMktg_AM: Great to be with you all on #MMchat
12:21 am rdublife: @chieflemonhead We came up with the concept of "drivers" vs "owners" because many folks "in the car" can & should input on direction #MMChat
12:21 am SocialMktg_AM: Hi Rick - what has been your most successful media campaign for McDonalds and why? #MMchat
12:21 am cbaccus: @rdublife I agree that owner is the wrong word and why that owner question is nonsense #MMChat
12:22 am chieflemonhead: RT @rdublife: @chieflemonhead We came up with the concept of "drivers" vs "owners" because many folks "in the car" can & should input on direction #MMChat
12:22 am karimacatherine: Hello, sorry I am late! #mmchat
12:22 am TheSocialCMO: Q3 Is it easier to drive alignment of strategies or tactics? #MMchat
12:22 am karimacatherine: RT @rdublife @matthod Good point.At some companies the "ownership" of social media is just a means to try to control and minimize it #mmchat
12:22 am ckburgess: RT @TheSocialCMO: Q3 Is it easier to drive alignment of strategies or tactics? #MMchat
12:23 am karimacatherine: Q3 : love this...exactly what I am dealing with right now. #mmchat
12:23 am rdublife: @jeffthesensei I'd say that social media alignment is deep strategic and tactical execution that maximizes budgets and results #MMChat
12:24 am karimacatherine: Q3 : I would say, neither strategies nor tactics are easy to align if social media is not understaoof by stakeholders #mmchat
12:24 am dougschorr: RT @rdublife: I'd say that social media alignment is deep strategic and tactical execution that maximizes budgets and results #MMChat
12:25 am nirajadhiya: Beauty! "@rdublife: We came up with the concept of drivers vs owners because many folks in the car can & should input on direction" #MMChat
12:25 am rdublife: @mnburgess Hard to point to a #1 goal for Twitter cuz we use it for so much. Hope some of my fall campaigns r trending topics :) #MMChat
12:26 am mongoosemetrics: @rdublife So what's the best way to turn doubters into stakeholders for #SM #MMChat
12:26 am ckburgess: #MMChat @rdublife Have you reduced traditional media budgets in favor of Social Media?
12:26 am SocialMktg_AM: Q3: Strategies and easier to align than tactics unless messaging is handled from the bottom up. #MMchat
12:27 am rdublife: @SocialMktg_AM hard to point to a "best" campaign because they all have different metrics. Love that smoothies are hot right now #MMChat
12:27 am mnburgess: @rdublife, Rich, how do you measure impact of your Facebook page? #MMchat
12:27 am chieflemonhead: RT @mongoosemetrics: @rdublife So what's the best way to turn doubters into stakeholders for #SM #MMChat

12:28 am ckburgess: #MMChat @rdublife How do you handle long lines on Twitter?
12:28 am SocialMktg_AM: @rdublife Great smoothie campaign, was that your doing? #MMchat
12:28 am rdublife: @TheSocialCMO Tactics are sometimes easier to align because they tend to be smaller in scope #MMChat
12:28 am Cedric_Spring: @rdublife do you use or have had success with #facebook ads? #mmchat?
12:28 am B2CMKTGInsider: RT @ckburgess: #MMChat @rdublife Have you reduced traditional media budgets in favor of Social Media? <great question
12:29 am ckburgess: @rdublife #MMChat Do you have a blogging strategy? What is it?
12:29 am chieflemonhead: Is Social Media a "bottom line" driver or a relationship driver? If the latter, how does McD value relationships? #mmchat
12:29 am rdublife: Too often tactics are thought to be strategies. For example "build a facebook page" is NOT strategy #MMChat
12:29 am karimacatherine: @rdublife : a little like chikens ansd pigs in Agine project management methodology :) #mmchat
12:29 am chieflemonhead: (Yes - and pls bring those smoothies to Canada!) :-) RT @SocialMktg_AM @rdublife Great smoothie campaign, was that your doing? #MMchat

12:30 am SocialMktg_AM: RT @rdublife: @mongoosemetrics I've found the best way to turn doubters is to find the SM metrics that will get them excited #MMChat
12:30 am rdublife: @mnburgess We use standard metrics (fans, likes traffic) for Facebook currently, but are looking to revmap that #MMChat
12:31 am karimacatherine: If the product sucks, social media will not help at all. same thing if the overall strategy is not well defined and tied #mmchat
12:31 am nirajadhiya: SM is still early in its stages, its a matter of time/education,companies r still on the side lines, as print slows- Digital wins #MMchat
12:31 am chieflemonhead: RT @SocialMktg_AM: RT @rdublife: @mongoosemetrics I've found the best way to turn doubters is to find the SM metrics that will get them excited #MMChat

12:32 am rdublife: @chieflemonhead took several years. Baby steps with small programs, make them successful then sell the heck out of them internally #MMChat
12:33 am jeffthesensei: #MMchat Most big companies using social media are like toddlers running with scissors - Strategy alignment is the last thing on their mind

12:40 am rdublife: Working on the agency side for McDonald's was key because I was to build relationships with my peers at other places #mmchat
12:41 am rdublife: Might sound old school, but forced collaboration on plans, brainstorms (and a happy hour) will help fast track agency integration #MMChat

12:42 am chieflemonhead: RT @rdublife: Might sound old school, but forced collaboration on plans, brainstorms (and a happy hour) will help fast track agency integration #MMChat
12:43 am BrennerMichael: Hey #MMChat just catching you al late. This seems intense. Looks like you have your hands full @ckburgess!
12:43 am nirajadhiya: @rdublife In SM isn't Influence the highest priority in any campaign? I mean after all, SM is the digital 'Word of mouth' #MMChat

12:43 am rdublife: @karimacatherine If your pilot program succeeds, call it a best practice. If it fails look for lessons learned & try again #MMChat
12:44 am karimacatherine: @rdublife : do you believe in self-fulling prophecy?sm program required internal collaboration of all stakeholders to be optimal #mmchat
12:44 am chieflemonhead: @jeffthesensei Wouldn't "segmenting" in SM defeat the purpose? The idea is to have individualized conversations w/ the audience. #mmchat
12:44 am matthod: RT @rdublife: If your pilot program succeeds, call it a best practice. If it fails look for lessons learned & try again <<Love it! #mmchat

12:44 am rdublife: @chieflemonhead To sell "return on relationships" try old school PR models. #MMChat
12:45 am rdublife: @chieflemonhead A key sell in for the value of working with blogs is to show readership of Huffpost compared to other newspapers. #MMChat
12:45 am karimacatherine: @rdublife : love this! can it work on angency side? (ie: success vs fail perception) #mmchat
12:45 am rdublife: Well said @iangertler agency alignment #MMchat > Step 1?pick the right ones. Good people want 2 work w/ others 2 improve results.
12:46 am jeffthesensei: #mmchat I think targeting and segmentation is critical to individual engagement. One message does not fit all nor does one medium.
12:46 am chieflemonhead: @NirajAdhiya Influence is subjective, isn't it? And, through SM you can reach ppl w/ small but powerful circles of influence. #mmchat

12:47 am mongoosemetrics: RT @jeffthesensei: #mmchat I think targeting & segmentation is critical 2 individual engagement. 1 msg does not fit all nor does 1 medium.

12:47 am chieflemonhead: @jeffthesensei Agreed. But segmentation and targeting require a "group". I think SM give us a tool to speak to a single person. #mmchat
12:47 am karimacatherine: RT @TheSocialCMO: Q5 What are the barriers to alignment? #mmchat
12:48 am rdublife: @nirajadhiya Influence isn't always top metric. Sometimes thousands of comments might be better than just a few top dogs. #MMChat
12:48 am chieflemonhead: @jeffthesensei Not sure what you'd call that... not segmentation, targeting. Maybe: individualization? :) #mmchat
12:48 am karimacatherine: Q5 : barriers to alignments are misunderstanding of objectives and KPIs. What will success look like? #mmchat

12:49 am rdublife: @chieflemonhead @jeffthesensei rather than segmenting for a specific audience, look for smaller venues where they hang out #MMChat
