Book Description

April 4, 2011
Are your social media efforts delivering real, tangible results while paying for themselves? Social media judo is born out of the philosophy of successes we have had creating programs using minimal client effort and achieving maximum results. This is exactly why social media works for marketing and why it drives ROI and is hyper-effective when done correctly. Social media and the resulting effect on all of us are driven by the momentum of real influencers working to inform and educate other buyers. Your job is to find a way to tap into this momentum and help propel your company to be greater than the sum of its parts. Social media judo will show how to do just that as well as how to create your own "judo moves" that will
• increase sales
• cut marketing costs
• boost engagement and, most importantly
• pay for themselves with real revenue
Ivy has helped dozens of other large and small companies such as AMD, AT&T, HP, Microsoft, ProFlowers, Time Inc. launch and grow their social media efforts.

In addition, Ivy Worldwide's program "31 Days of the Dragon" for HP has won more awards for ROI than any other campaign. The campaign is considered to be one of the most successful of all time.

Foreword by Chris Pirillo (Chris.Pirillo.com), one of the most influential bloggers ever and arguably one of the best online marketers ever born.

Customer Praise for Ivy Worldwide
"Do you want to know how to use disruptive marketing at its best to drive sales while giving your competitors serious heartburn? We used the principles in this book to create a long string of successful campaigns for HP, including the groundbreaking ʻ31 Days of the Dragonʼ program that re-wrote the rules for what is possible for social media marketing. After reading this book youʼll know why social media is worth the hype."
-Scott Ballantyne
Vice President, Hewlett-Packard Corp

"Social Media Judo should be mandatory reading for any marketer looking to boost ROI and tap into the power of social media. The guys at Ivy and I used the concepts in this book to drive B2B programs that delivered ROI on a number of levels, the most important being leads and sales. Now, I cannot envision creating a campaign without identifying and using the ʻjudo movesʼ described in this book."
-Bruce Shaw
Executive Director, Lenovo

"Ivy Worldwide is a very unique agency and Social Media Judo is a unique book. They have succeeded in facilitating critical, high-profile launches. Unlike traditional agencies that are only able to measure ROI with soft marketing metrics, Ivy meets and exceeds marketing and business objectives. In addition, they have the requisite strategic, tactical and creative prowess to operate effectively in the social media arena, which is a combination hard to find in just one agency. I strongly recommend listening to what they have to say."
-Denise Lu
Senior Campaign Manager, Adobe Systems

The "Judo" in the book's title Social Media Judo refers to achieving the maximum effectiveness with the least amount of effort by using your opponent's strength against them. Only in this case it's really about using your partner's strength for them. Having taken some Judo during my college days, enough to recall the moment when a throw felt effortless and powerful - and when it didn't - I can relate to the primary analogy used throughout the book. And having worked with bloggers since before the term was invented, I can agree with the authors that these are the folks with whom you want to spend your time sparring.

This belongs in everyone's Social Media library. At 167 pages this is a quick, informative and enjoyable read. You can find more detailed reviews of Social Media Judo posted online by several top bloggers and Lockergnome recently published an interview with one of the authors, Chris Aarons, which provides a great overview.
