Before this, River Pools was like every other pool company - they installed pools. What became the difference in River s success was moving the product from primary to secondary in the mission. 10 www.brandquarterly.com Promoting Social Media To The Integrated Communications Bullpen Gini Dietrich Where does social media fall in the hierarchy of your organization? If you re still treating it as something you hand off to the interns to keep them busy, you re doing a great disservice to yourself, your company, and your interns. Your social media presence and strategy should never be treated as busy work or an experimental project. Social media is, in many cases, the first connection with your organization, yet many organizations leave it in the hands of a young and inexperienced professional without any oversight or supervision. Think about it this way: would you send an intern to golf with your largest customer and ask for more business? While that s an extreme analogy, by leaving social media in the hands of the intern, you are doing the same thing. Social media belongs in the middle of your integrated marketing and communications plan. It s time for it to graduate from the intern room to the bullpen of marketing and communications at your organization.
