  38. 10 Lessons from Obama’s Social Media Campaign 1. Laddering support through tiers of engagement – understood that it needed to provide a variety of ways for people to be involved in the campaign based on their level of engagement.

  39. Barack Obama 2. Empowering super users – Offered further support to its most committed advocates. Tracked volunteers and took note of their most reliable activists. Identified these connectors early and gave them the tools to activate others.

  40. Barack Obama 3. Providing source materials for user-generated content – MyBO contained videos, speeches, photos and how-to guides that gave people the raw materials they needed to create their own compelling content in support of Obama.

  41. Barack Obama 4. Going where the people are – 60 % adults in the USA belong to a social network, most do not belong to more than one. If you want to reach them, you have to know where they are and connect with them there.

  42. Barack Obama 5. Using familiar tools- there is a social network for every distinct social niche. There also are umbrella networks that span all interests. Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn.

  43. Barack Obama 6. Ensuring that people can find your content – Your content is posted but can anybody can find it? Can you convert anybody with it? No. Created simple sites with the URLs of popular search terms to increase the likelihood that they would be found.

  44. Barack Obama 7. Mobilizing supporters through mobile devices – 90% of Americans within 3 feet of their cell phones 24/7. People still read more than 90% of their text messages, while pages of e-mails sit unopened in inboxes. Text messaging and the mobile Web offers an opportunity to reach supporters directly anywhere they are, any time of the day.

  45. Barack Obama 8. Harnessing analytics to constantly improve engagement activities – Kaizen – the concept of constant improvement. Tracked the success of every email, text message and site visit, using analytics tools that are inherent digital communications. Each ad, email was created in multiple versions (e.g., different headers, buttons vs. links, video vs. audio vs. plain text) to test what worked, didn't.

  46. Barack Obama 9. Built online operation to scale – Feb 07, Obama met Netscape founder and Facebook board member Marc Andreessen to learn how social media could power the campaign. Spent more than $2 million in 2007 on hardware and software foundation for the social media operation. Built an enterprise-level system that was ready to scale to millions of supporters.

  47. Barack Obama 10. Planning the campaign – The Obama campaign core online team of 11 people with total staff of 30, which increased toward the election. While previous campaigns had treated online advocacy as an add-on, Obama campaign integrated social media into all elements of the organisation.
