Framework: Rings of Influence

Recently, I spoke to a crowded room of senior marketers at a CPG retailer, one of the executives asked “What’s an indicator a company is advanced in the social space?”.  I gave three answers, and one of them was “Developing a thriving unpaid advocacy program to evangelize for you and fight your battles.” The executives, which were used to traditional advertising and direct marketing had a lightbulb go off as I showed them this following framework.

Companies unable to scale into social channels –and hindered by traditional thinking
Companies struggle to quickly respond to the assault of customers who are constantly dialoging in social channels, they simply can not hire enough community managers and the promise of Social CRM systems are in its infancy.  Additionally, the old school thinking of traditional marketing which puts the sole focus on the branded voice of corporate communications, and polished, sanctioned executives.  Yet now, as social tools are pervasive (take a look at all the people accessing Facebook from their mobile phones) the gateways of public communication have given anyone the opportunity to communicate.

Brands must extend their strategy to the outside rings.
In order to scale in both time and mass, corporations must now extend their communication strategy beyond just corporate communications and sanctioned ‘company representatives’ to include the other rings in their communications mix.  In the following graphic, the “Rings of Influence” I’ve mapped out how other roles can and should be used in the communications strategy.   I’ve worked on trust research, and found that in most cases the closer in the rings (corporate) there’s less trust.  Other studies, like Edelman’s 2010 trust barometer indicate similar findings as the most trusted relationships are at the outer rings, see figures 7 & 8 in this PDF.

Framework: Rings Of Influence
As brand embrace the larger circles, the greater opportunity for reach, trust  –and risk.  I hope you use this graphic in your planning docs and presentations, it’s licensed under creative commons as Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Common.  Graphic assistance by Christine Tran, @christineptran

Rings of Influence

Role and Description The Opportunity: Who’s Doing It Right: What no one tells you:
Prospects: Those that are not yet customers. Engaging soon-to-be-customers during their problem and pain stages and focusing them on your solutions is the goal. Build lifestyle communities to engage them in a ‘bigger-than-brand’ discussion such as CVS’s community for caretakers. You’ll really need to let go of hard marketing styles and focus on what IBM’s senior marketer Sandy Carter calls “light branding.” Make sure you have a community kickstart plan.
Customers: Existing buyers, some which are highly engaged and vocal in your space. Enabling the voice of the customer has been a mainstay belief for product development, but most companies have not harnessed them for marketing and support. Build an active advocacy program that encourages them to fight your own battles like Intel Insiders, Microsoft MVP, Wal-Mart’s 11 moms program. Bazaarvoice enables companies like BestBuy to have ratings and reviews on their site –increasing flow through funnel Customers will love and hate you alike. If you harness their voices, expect to let both types of information come through in a strategic way. The trick? Use complaints as an opportunity to show openness and customer response in public. The savvy brands will trigger advocates to deal with detractors, use this checklist to get started.
Employees: Rank and file as well as ‘approved employees’ who are blessed to use social tools. Regular rank and file employees that are knowledgeable about products and are close to customers are likely to be more trusted than veneered executives. Give your own rank and file the opportunity to voice their opinion like Premier Farnell gave many of their employees the ability to publish their own videos on a community like Element 14. Employees need guidelines, training, and processes. Don’t leave your company or your employees exposed, develop internal training programs, regular communications, and a place to share. See how Intel has created a light weight ‘certification’ program for employees who participate in social
Corporate: The traditional and centralized communications group and sanctioned executives Corporate comms can benefit from social tools that allow the spread and sharing of company messages, and they can also build a social platform to stand on in order to fend of critics See how SouthWest Airlines has built a corporate blog for years, which gave them the standing power to fight back against detractor Kevin Smith. Also, see how Domino’s President used online video to respond in a human and more trusted way during an employee health crises. Lots of retraining when it comes to rethinking the approach in this space. Stop and breath, develop a measured set of steps a framework, control is not completely lost if you have a balance. This is an opportunity more than a threat.

Harness All The Voices In Your Ecosystem –Not Just Corporate Communications
Brands should stop focusing on the corporate ring alone –and benefit by using all the rings in a coordinated fashion.  I’ve broken down the roles into subsets in the above matrix, yet there are some key baseline considerations as your deploy, remember to:

  • Recognize that greater opportunity is abound at outer rings –but comes with increased risk. Brands are most comfortable operation in the inside rings, like ‘Corporate’.  Yet the greatest opportunity to leverage trust and reach happens at the outer rings of influence with ‘Customers’ and ‘Prospects’.  Of course, with a greater benefit comes greater risk as there’s less control over conversations on the outer rings.
  • Map the  rings to your existing customer experience timeline. These rings aren’t unlike traditional marketing funnels, except that there’s a focus on role and trust, over cycle. In most cases, prospects are in the outer mouth of a funnel, but customers, employees, and corporate can also participate in every step of the marketing funnel. Analyze which roles are needed in what aspects of the customer timeline –and map your strategy accordingly
  • Analyze your existing social marketing programs. From Facebook, community, Twitter, to Gowalla, brands must take inventory of each of their existing social programs.  Pull out a spreadsheet and map which each of your social media programs are doing, look at both: 1) Which ring is the primary publisher, 2) Which ring are they trying to reach.
  • Be pragmatic, and develop a roadmap: start with smallest ring and move out. Don’t jump on the largest ring of prospects without first getting grounded. Start at the inner circle and work your way out, by building a foundation at the core and building on success and safety in experience. Companies that try to address prospects but lack the internal resources and ethos to deliver may find themselves offering false promises.

This single graphic represents an entire presentation I’m developing for internal client workshops or keynote presentations at marketing and business conferences.  I love to share, and want to get your feedback in the comments below so I can improve it.   Update: Mitch has also extended the conversation in the Social CRM pioneers Google Group, watch it unfold and participate in the group.

  1. Beautiful “concentric rings” graphic, analogous to one I developed for an internet summit last year (linked below). I find these “big picture” maps critical for thinking strategically, and making sure social media resources are allocated comprehensively. It also helps to divorce the strategy from the tactics, which will evolve constantly.

  4. Really like how you've put this together Jeremiah. This network thinking or thinking about how you can influence the influencers of your targets is really critical. Almost all behavior studies that I've seen from getting kids to eat their peas to counteracting bullying to changing corporate culture stress that the most sustainable way to change behavior is to get peers to model the behavior you would like to see. So finding the peers of your targets most likely to model the behavior you want to influence is absolutely critical.

  7. Jeremiah, Great post as usual. One question: are you suggesting that companies should have a different strategy for reching each of the rings, or rather that all of the rings should be included in the social strategy? The examples you provide seem to point to the former, but in my experience, most companies need to focus on a particular strategy at least early on. I'd love to hear your take.

  10. Rachel thanks. There's a large opportunity here for brands to recognize how to benefit from peer to peer behavior as a driver over telling them. I've noticed a change in cultural influence from bullying to having better behaved kids with a shift from TV ads like “a right to say no” to social influence: “no one likes a druggie”

  13. The rings should never be seem as a single approach, in fact, they are inter related and one ring should be used to influence another ring. And yes, each ring requires a different approach.

  19. I like the “concentric rings” graphic too. Perhaps you can also include another dimension to it, aligned with your point that the outer rings present greater opportunity and greater risk. I also can't help but notice that the two inner rings are more of “internal” staff, while the outer ones are “external” in nature. Wouldn't there be some form of overlap then, where those at the internal ring will be interacting with the external parties literally?

  22. I'll reiterate what several others have said – great post, Jeremiah. The part that I found most compelling was the last bullet point: start with the smallest ring and move out.

    Too many times I see companies who try to “jump into” social media by being everywhere at once. What they don't seem to realize is that although it's nice to have positive sentiment, what YOU say about your company is not nearly as important as what OTHERS say about you. Start small, build your reputation and then let your brand advocates spread the word to your prospects.

    I produced a similar model last year 🙂

    I'm interested to see how you map activities to your model, which is something I started to do but never quite finished.

    Also, do you think metrics should be mapped against each ring? Are the metrics different, or can they all be part of a continuum of some sort?

  31. I hover, watching for signs that employees desire more involvement in a casual corporate communication via social media and wondering if I can light a fire. This is a clear road map that councils a step back to develop the footprint, so they don™t feel lost without proper guidelines and a solid road map. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves. This is huge food for thought. Thanks!

  34. Jeremiah,

    I like the level of detail that you covered here. In addition to lifestyle communities and advocacy programs, can you think of any offline programs that build loyalty and brand trust? I'm thinking of Crown Royal tastings. For example, I deliver a flip camera to clients so they can take video testimonials of their clients. This likely doesn't scale to the prospect level, however.

    You made some great points and covered lots of detaill. Thanks

  37. I'd like to hear you expand on this point: “Companies that try to address prospects but lack the internal resources and ethos to deliver may find themselves offering false promises”.

    That's a pretty important statement: all your social efforts could be derailed if you find yourself in that situation. What kind of false promises do you mean? What internal resources need to be in place to deliver on promises?

    Excellent article, Jeremiah!

  43. it is a good model indeed and theoretically it looks brilliant. The problems usually start when you start implementing it and realise your audience is not necessarily reacting as expected.

  45. Jeremiah, great post. I will use it tomorrow with a client who has built an entire new, sustainable way to operate on all dimensions, involving only employees so far and want to extend this and engage others. This looks like a framework to use to help them thinking.
    My addition: I think the dimension that crosses this is the theme(s): engage about what in priority. Most of the time it's about the products, but not always: the engagement of the corporation, the broader category, its mission, or adjacent services (eg the philips cinema fan page on Facebook is about cinema, not philps TV).

  48. Building on Sharon Mostyn's response about how companies are often too quick to jump into social media, I couldn™t agree more. Far too often, we hear companies say, Let™s do some social media, without thinking about why they are doing it, and what the company and its customers will get out of it. It would be interesting to see how many neglected Facebook fan pages there are out there “ I™ll bet there are a lot that get created on a whim and don™t serve their real purpose of engaging with consumers.

    I like the ring analogy, but wanted to throw out another suggestion- social media allows you to cross-pollinate your rings- your customers can be the most passionate advocates, why not bring your biggest fans into your inner ring, and giving them a seat at the conference table? I just wrote an article for MediaPost that touches on scaling intimacy with your customers (http://bit.ly/cYbCl8). Consumers want that direct connection, and are willing to advocate for the brands they feel closest to. Their expectations are like Norm and Cliffy™s at Cheers- they want to be where everybody knows your name. Although it can be scary, giving your customers the opportunity to give input into your product design, campaign development, or social media strategy will not only better inform your end product, but also mobilize some pretty informed, passionate advocates on your brand™s behalf. And when you™re starting to reach your customers via social media, rather than cut through a cacophony of noise of larger public networks, starting smaller to build real relationships with customers, discussing issues that impact you both equally, will make a big difference in establishing your company as a truly social brand.

  51. Samantha, couldn't agree more, and great article. Part of this (not that advanced maybe) was reflected in my white paper in a concept called: end to end consumer engagement: ie the ability for companies to reach and leverage their 'lead users' (early adopters, advocates,…) throughout the value chain, from product conception to marketing & sales, customer service.

  54. Your sphere of influence is spot-on, but needs one enhancement ¦. Retirees are very important in the sphere of influence, former employees can be strong advocates for your brand and key influencers in their communities or professional arena. This can be taken further into retirees mentoring current employees so that it increases retention and incremental employee efforts, generating additional customer loyalty and incremental product and service sales. Outreach through social media allows retirees to be heard, promotes positive interaction and instills confidence in the mother company. An example of HP retirees getting engaged is on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/hpretiree

    We also have a big LinkedIn presence with former employees creating more than 150 groups and forums.
