Keep It Simple – Coke’s New Social Media Principles
posted in Best Practices, Interviews, Social Media, Videos |
Andy Serovitz posted a very interesting blog post on how Coca Cola have devised a new set of social media principles. Coke have developed 10 “Principles for Online Spokespeople” which make good sense for other brands to follow. You can read the main set below.
- Be Certified in the [Coca Cola] Social Media Certification Program.
- Follow our Code of Business Conduct and all other Company policies.
- Be mindful that you are representing the Company.
- Fully disclose your affiliation with the Company.
- Keep records.
- When in doubt, do not post.
- Give credit where credit is due and don’t violate others’ rights.
- Be responsible to your work.
- Remember that your local posts can have global significance.
- Know that the Internet is permanent.
Watch Andy’s interview with Coca Cola’s Adam Brown, on how they developed the social media principles.
- Coke’s complete policy document can be found below. At three pages, I like this a lot!
