Online Community Specialist
Session Title: Managing Your Social Portfolio: Applying Research into Attention Economics
Session Extract:
What impact does mass reciprocity (#FollowBack) have on online relationships? Is there a ‘goldilocks’ frequency for broadcasting to a community? Should you break your brand presence into channels, or use site-specific targeting mechanisms to maintain an aggregated presence? Adrian will collaborate via Twitter with session attendees in the dissection of common tactics and etiquette embraced by personal and organizational brands on social media, then compare audience feedback with some of the research offered by attention economists, digital researchers and neuroscientists. By the end of the session, participants will have explored different investment strategies and some of the tools that help increase return on their social portfolios.
