Oneupweb Publishes Guide to Help Employers Create Corporate Social Media Policies

(May 01, 2012)

Traverse City, MI (PRWEB) May 01, 2012

The digital marketing masterminds at Oneupweb are consistently at the forefront of everything the internet has to offer, including marketing through social media like Facebook and Twitter. When leveraging social media, lines between casual and professional are often unclear; now, Oneupweb has delivered a guide to recognizing possible pitfalls along with solutions to maintaining brand integrity in the social media landscape, Social Media: The Guide to Creating a Kick-A$$ Company Policy.

Social has proven itself as a viable marketing channel for brands large and small, but when you put your company out there online and in social media, you are potentially vulnerable to any opinion or conversation so its really important to present with integrity, explains Oneupweb founder and CEO, Lisa Wehr. The first step to avoiding any negative activity is to start with a clear plan for employees that describes what is and isnt appropriate in regard to mentions of the company on social media sites.

It may sound like common sense, but it isnt the same for every brand. For example, a shoe retailer may express character through slogans with slang, while a mutual funds firm may lose credibility using similar language. Every employee with a social profile carries a piece of the public relations and branding voice with their account and they should be aware of it. Oneupwebs guide offers advice on drafting a policy as well as tips for implementing and enforcing the policy.

The far-reaching online social scene is an excellent place for marketing, but a few guidelines are particularly helpful in this subjective arena. Social Media: The Guide to Creating a Kick-A$$ Company Policy is available here. Oh, and its free.
