Product Description

Marketing used to be different – a lot different. Today, brands are faced with a myriad of opportunities for reaching customers online; and, while the social landscape can be daunting, it holds a world of opportunities for connecting with consumers in deeper and more meaningful ways.

To help guide marketers during this exciting time of transition, we’ve published the Social Marketing Playbook. Our comprehensive strategic report aims to help marketers evaluate the opportunities available, determine which ones are best for their brands and develop a strategy following best practices for achieving success in social media.

The goals of the Playbook are to:

- Provide a framework for establishing a set of clear objectives and strategy when approaching social marketing
- Move beyond the checklist approach and offer a filter for evaluating the myriad opportunities and platforms
- Encourage thinking of social marketing as an opportunity to have a continuous, valuable exchange with customers
- Advance discussions on amplifying marketing results through the integration of social marketing and offline campaigns

In addition to leveraging the insights from members of the 360i social marketing team, the Playbook also includes guest commentary by industry luminaries Randall Rothenberg (CEO of the IAB), Pete Cashmore (CEO of Mashable.com), Jeremiah Owyang (Blogger at Web-Strategist.com), Jeff Pulver, (Founder of Pulver.com and Producer of The 140 Character Conference) and Greg Galant (CEO of Sawhorse Media and Creator of the Shorty Awards).

Free PDF on the 360i website September 15, 2011
Sorry, but if you're going to charge for content, please make sure that it isn't offered for free on the author's website. This is. 360i is a Digital Marketing Agency. Their Social Marketing Playbook is published and downloadable as a PDF for free on their blog. They also have a Mobile Marketing Playbook for download.

Note that this playbook was authored in 2009. A lot has changed since then, so note that the stats are old (e.g. platforms information) and some of the examples are that of early returns on social. This doesn't mean that the basic concepts are dated, though. Creating a strategy, deciding on the arenas, building up your base, etc. are all core ways to approach social marketing and are still valid today. This is a great starter guide for those uninitiated in social media marketing.

I was surprised to get a book this well done and thoughtful for just .99 cents. This small book provides a lot of meaty, very professional information that really delivers some insights into what is going on with social networks in terms of marketing. You'll understand a lot more about social network marketing after reading this, and gain some tips on what do to in your own efforts. Nicely done.

Good book, still relevant on the most part. The problem with most material written about social media and marketing these days is that the market and technology life cycle moves almost faster than the life cycle books can be written, produced and distributed. This one is still relevant.
