Can you give us 5 tips as to how company can manage a crisis through social media?
In fact, despite what most people think, and despite the usual romantic stories told about Internet crises and rumours, managing crises is a long-term rather than short-term exercise.

Give us 5 tips for a Romanian company (a corporation, and medium-size company) to build brand awareness with social media
At first sight, one may think that social media marketing is only devoted to large corporations which can afford to hire big enough teams to manage such new activities.
But I think it’s just the other way round.
One of the biggest beauties of social media is that it makes word-of-mouth marketing accessible even to those who have very little means.

SAP: convincing the CFO that B2B social media can be a benefit

Last week I had the chance to bump into Sarah Goodall from SAP; I was very pleased to see her at the usefulsocialmedia conference in London one year after being acquainted with her at a marketing conference in London.

In that presentation, I delivered my thoughts about the status of social media today, I also delved into 10 different business cases which I - or my colleagues - have gone through at Orange and I have also added facts and figures as much as possible. I have also tried to challenge the title of the presentation.

How Manchester City is using social media to stir passion

Richard Ayers (a former BBC journalist) has worked for Manchester City and BFI (British Film Industry) recently and he has shared his experience running social media for both of these organisations at the usefulsocialmedia conference today.
BFI has been around for 100 years and is behind each and every film. But the organisation isn’t known at all. The passion though is overwhelming, be it for films or football. Richard showed how similarly – even though the two companies are very different – social media can be leveraged for both subjects.
