5 minutes on designing your social media team

Here's a fun Pecha Kucha presentation I gave at the Demystifying Digital event hosted by H&K's London office for their clients in the EMEA region back in March.

It's 5-minutes long and covers what I think most organizations wonder about the most when they consider getting into social media: who should do it and how much does it cost?

I always have fun outlining the four personalities I think are key to any social media team:

• reconnaissance
• mad scientist
• communications general
• community manager

As you'll see, I use my friends Ferg Devins (Molson) and Keith McArthur (Rogers) as examples of two guys who have social media responsibilities at two of Canada's leading companies.  I have to be clear that while I assign dollar values to how much their efforts cost, I actually have no insight into what they really spend. I hope they don't mind being used as broad examples based on pure speculation on my part to support the narrative.  If they do, they know where to find me...
