30 Social Media Best Practices SPM Marketing & Communications 30

31 Identify Your Audience Sample Audience Persona John Doe is a 68-year old elected representative in the state of Illinois. He has over 45 years of experience in public policy, has been a member of the Illinois House for 35 years, and was elected chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois back in John created a Facebook and Twitter profile several years ago, but has become more engaged in social media over the last two years. He relies on his Facebook and Twitter accounts to establish and maintain his online presence as a state legislator. He checks both channels regularly, about once a day throughout the work week and occasionally on the weekend. Plus, having downloaded the applications on his iphone, John gets notifications and alerts immediately wherever he is. Another reason John uses social media is to collect feedback from Illinois residents who may reach out to him directly through Facebook messages and tweets. He also looks to Twitter to gauge the sentiment of conversation occurring online regarding particular issues. Before signing up for Facebook and Twitter, John was a little skeptical about the security of social media and concerned he may become overwhelmed by waves of negative feedback and communication directed at him. However, by setting up crisis management protocols and referencing a social media policy guide that aligns with Illinois policy for security and communication, he feels much more comfortable. He also uses a single platform management tool to view, reply and engage in online conversation that keeps all communication streaming in from multiple channels viewable in one dashboard and prevents the release of any sensitive materials to the public.
