Shifting our focus Your IT guy or B2B guy is also a very strong consumer. Such pros are looking for communication that is more intimate than a whitepaper and comes from a trusted source. David Veneski, Media director at Intel Because social has changed so much the dynamic it s a relationship. Customers want to be as close to the source as possible and have more direct access to the brand.

Challenge: CEOs get social (or...?) ibm.co/ceostudydk Percentage of CEOs using social media as a tool to connect with customers As CEOs ratchet up the level of openness within their organizations, they are developing collaborative environments where employees are encouraged to speak up, exercise personal initiative, connect with fellow collaborators, and innovate, the IBM study concluded. Simply put, CEOs and their executives set the cultural tone for an organization. Through participation, they implicitly promote the use of social technologies. That will make their organizations more competitive and better able to adapt to sudden market changes. Source: Forbes.com and IBM CEO Study (2012)

If I were you... I would get a Social Listening and Bid Data Analytics tool I would invest in a Social CRM setup in the basement I would get help from a Big Data expert how to mine your and publically available data for experts, influencers, and prospects I would include Journalists as Influencers I would then start building profiles of both influencers and prospects From an IBM perspective, I would pick 3 key areas for Denmark: Healthcare, Fraud, and something IT specific (like Cloud) I would focus on top 1000 companies and institutions, and in them, the top 5000 CxO s and leaders I would then start aggregating a view that could be used in the next discussion with a specific client like IBM This aggregated view could be done for Healthcare: Who are the influencers in DK What is moving What are legislators proposing What are regular citizens interested in Where are people who discuss this What are the trends What are the search words Any specific prospects What are the events, seminars, etc.... I would package it as a Quarter Report but give away a first lite appetizer for free Ask to speak with the Experts, not only the marketers!
