Thoughts from starbucks presentation.

Interesting presentation by the director for digital of Starbucks. They have 10 million Facebook fans and are the #1 engaged brand online. There is some great thinking going on over there that I think apply to a wide range of organizations.

A few highlights – I feel like I could do a blog post on each of them:

  • It’s about relationships (human connection), not marketing
  • social fits within a larger digital, integrated strategy
  • build a coalition / thoughtfully deputize
  • Become a content archeologist
  • Enabling personalization
  • Relevant mobile experiences

Here is a link to a full video of the presentation
