Erik Fisher, Community Manager for Social Media Examiner, joins the Social Pros Podcast to share his approach to managing social for the world’s largest social media marketing conference.

Erik Fisher - InstagramDoing Reps and Running Marathons

Social Media Marketing World, hosted by Social Media Examiner, is the world’s largest social media conference. Over the course of 3 days, 3,000 attendees hear from 100+ of the world’s top social media pros as they share their transformative ideas on social. It makes sense, given the expertise of the audience, that the team managing the social for this conference must be ready, willing, and able to engage with their customers on all channels, including platforms that are just emerging in the field.
So how does one interact on social with several thousand social pros?
For Erik, it’s all about training for the social marathon. He has a system locked in for pre-game, during, and post-game social that ensures every one of his 3,000 customers is taken care of in the channel of their choosing. He keeps an approach that is rigid enough to withstand the most torrential storms of social engagement while maintaining a degree of flexibility that allows them to adapt quickly and easily to new platforms as they emerge. Under his leadership, the world’s largest social conference has become one of the best for social pros near and far.

In This Episode

  • How “divide and conquer” leads to a more well-rounded social team
  • Why having a fine-tuned process for social engagement means being flexible enough to completely change platform priorities if needed
  • How practicing what you preach leads to a more authentic approach to social
  • Why having a social hit list prepares you for a better conference experience
