What is Social Media Day?
Social Media Day is a day that Mashable.com decided to create on June 30th 2010 as a way to recognize the digital revolution happening right before our eyes. Organizers from cities all over the world decide to put together an event to showcase what social media means for that city or town.
The event has been declared official by 17 cities worldwide and three U.S. states. This year, we have tens of thousands of people participating throughout the world.
Social Media Day Boston History
We hosted the very first Social Media Day Boston, which at the time was the 8th largest in the world.
We decided to have diverse set of professionals speak on the state of social media. There were 8 individual talks on higher education, small business, marketing, dating, Entertainment (music), government, traditional media, and non-profits. Then we concluded with an open panel and Q&A session with all the speakers. Steve Garfield, one of the first video bloggers, streamed the event live for those people that were not able to make the event and we recorded all the speakers for future reference.
Last year Social Media Day Boston 2011 was hosted by Arnold. Their event hosted a panel that exclusively spoke about Location-Based Social 2.0.
This year, Saturday, June 30, 2012, the College of Communication at Boston University decided to continue with the panel theme for Social Media Day Boston 2012 with 2 panels. A sports panel, with reps from the Boston Celtics, The Patriot and the Red Sox, and a branding panel, with reps from Allen & Gerritsen, Dunkin Donuts and InsideHigherEd.com. And there were closing remarks from Startup Health.
The event was followed by an open tent reception.
The event brought together students, mostly from Boston University, and professionals passionate about social media in and around Boston for a lively discussion and networking.
What happened Social Media Day 2012?
The day started with an opening remark from Boston University’s New Media expert and big shot professor, Steve Quigley (@SteveQuigley). An engaging opening with intro videos from Mashable and the Patriots was a great transition to the first panel.

Panel 1: Sports & Social Media
The first panel was a Sports and Social Media panel with moderator Erin Sharoni (@ErinSharoni), co-host of CNBC Sports Biz, and …
social media representatives from Boston’s sports teams, Meghan Ryan (@meggyry) from Boston Redsox, Christy Berkery (@berkeryc) from New England Patriots, and Peter Stringer (@peterstringer) from Boston Celtics.
It was an interesting panel with speakers talking about managing their brand Twitter account to how they deal with individual players’ social media accounts that can reflect on the brand image as a whole yet need to maintain individual character.
Other topics such as using Google+ and other platforms and how to choose the right tools for different brands also created a fun debate.

(See more of the lively discussion below in our more in-depth multimedia recap)
Panel 2: Brands & Social Media
There was a short break after the panel which was a great time for people to network, connect and discuss what they thought about the panel.
The second panel, Brand and Social Media was with moderator, Steve Quigley (@stevequigley) and speakers Tamsen McMahon (@tamadear) from allen & gerritsen, Tyler Cyr (@tylercyr) from Dunkin’ Donuts and Eric Stoller (@EricStoller) from InsideHigherEd.com.
The panel discussed topics from how to use social media as a customer service tool to measuring social media ROI that matter.
#SMdayBOS @tamadear: All metrics matter, so if you’re managing social media, be savvy about what metrics matter to which people.
— Allyson (@aegalle) June 30, 2012
It’s all about being a good marketer & knowing how to connect with people. Key to good social media: Be a Good Human Being. #SMDayBOS

As you can tell, there were some great tweets throughout the day and #SMdayBoston along with BU COM, Eric Stoller and Tamsen McMahon were trending in Boston during the event.
The closing remarks were by Unity Stoakes who challenged us to think about what our last tweet would be.

Ideal social media voice for professional sports team: personality that reflects brand culture and brand identity #smdaybosSofia Nasr
"Many shots to create your reputation, one shot to ruin it." @ErinSharoni #smdayBOSElise Kovi
There is no ideal voice for social media. There is "your" voice or "your brand’s" voice. #SMdayBOS @comugradBU COMmunicator
@peterstringer on Celtics players’ social media: "you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube – once its out, it’s out." #smdaybosBen Huggins
Love the question #smdayBos, great answer from @berkeryc, lots of agreement on the panel but best answer from my view http://pic.twitter.com/VoO1IkTSDee Hibbard
LA Kings’ Social Media Style
Tweeps: What did you all think of the LA King’s "uncensored" twitter account? #smdayBosValerie Heruska
That type of account does more disservice to the brand @meggyry #smdaybosValerie Heruska
@erinmharris @meggyry agreed. They are right. LA media is its own microcosm, & it’s not surprising that the LA Kings did that. #SMDayBOSTaylor Aldredge
As much as "uncensored" tweets are funny and edgy. Social media voice should reflect the brand personality- @berkeryc #SMdayBOS @comugradMing S. Onsri
It’s great to be funny, but you have to keep your established brand personality in mind. #SMdayBosSchyler Cain
Gold star, @peterstringer: the @celtics brand is about the Celtics and their history, not bashing other teams. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
I’m with @meggyry: you don’t want to stoop the level of lame "fans" – that doesn’t do anything for you or your brand. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
"We don’t want to mess up 60 years of history with one tweet… " sarcastic remarks aren’t our brand -@PeterStringer #celtics #SMDayBosWayne Kurtzman
"Generations of fans, decades of history… I don’t wanna mess that up with one tweet": Celtics’ @peterstringer #smdayBOS #brandvoiceBrand Networks, Inc.
I’d rather speak in the voice of our brand & it’s history vs being a funny guy on twitter @peterstringer #smdaybosJoselin Mane

Social Media Platforms
What platforms do Boston sports teams use? Mostly twitter, Facebook, SM managers from the Celtcs, Patriots and Sox say #smdayBOS @comugradJon Mayer
Question re: variety of platforms: do what works for you. Don’t force yourself into platforms that don’t fit your style/brand. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
There are so many platforms out there. Focus on the ones where your audience are. – @berkeryc #SMDayBOSNaEun Park
#SMDayBOS Great of you have millions of fans on Facebook but if you don’t know anything about them what good is it?Jessica Owen
At any point, Facebook could cut us out so it’s important to collect data to better service the fans @peterstringer #smdaybosCiri Haugh
By far @Twitter is the most used #SM tool for these three digital team reps @berkeryc @peterstringer @meggyry #smdaybosBessie King
People/companies pay more attention to twitter than Facebook? Maybe. Things are definitely changing #SMdayBOSBU COMmunicator
@bucommunicator You need to ask WHAT people use a platform for, not just IF they use it. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
"I use Twitter a lot as customer service vehicle for the organization." – @meggyry on using it to enhance fan experience #smdaybosSofia Nasr
I love how @meggyry uses twitter as a customer service tool for the @RedSox. So in tune with the fans! #SMdayBOSNina Follman
"Social media is the new customer service platform" – @berkeryc #smdayBosJessica Gawrych
"I see Twitter as the best platform to engage, to sell, and to communicate on social media." – @meggyry #smdaybosSofia Nasr
You can have millions of fans, but if you don’t know anything about them, where’s the value in that? #smdaybosKaitlyn Soares
Good call, @meggyry: Pinterest can be a good place to show off team merchandise. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
The Red Sox don’t have Instagram at the moment, due to some sort of issue with MLB. Interesting – hadn’t thought of that. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
"What success might look like on Twitter will look different on Facebook." – @peterstringer #SMDayBOSNaEun Park
Pinterest in Sports: Boards dedicated to history of the team, highlighting fans who use the brand, etc.. #smdaybosValerie Heruska
"Twitter inextricably tied to journalism." @peterstringer #smdayBOSElise Kovi
@meggyry says she uses Google+ to enhance search optimization. Interesting point. #smdaybosSofia Nasr
#redsox on Twitter primarily customer service, Facebook for photo/video, G+ for seo, Tumblr/Pinterest too. @meggyry #smdaybosAri Herzog
"no evidence to suggest anyone’s actually using Google+" but good for SEO @peterstringer #smdaybosNatasha Kahn
"Present same content in a slightly different way on the different social media platforms." @berkeryc #smdayBOSElise Kovi
Twitter vs Facebook
@Meggyry hit it on the nail: if she had to choose one social media tool, she’d choose @Twitter #smdaybos http://pic.twitter.com/lYawGDL7Bessie King
Career Advice
Advice to students and others wanting to go into this field: "You have to realize sports is a lifestyle, not a job." – @meggyry #smdayBOSKat Hasenauer
Oral and written communications are essential when considering a job in social via @meggyry #smdaybosCiri Haugh
Recommend Strategy / Tools
When new social media platforms arise, it is key for a brand to grab a username and anchor down its presence -@peterstringer #smdayBosJessica Gawrych
. @peterstringer drops the #Celtics anchor on new social platforms to keep impostors at bay. Waits to see adoption. #smdaybosRyan Sosin
TIP: As soon as a new platform comes out we at least reserve our @celtics name just in case platform grows @peterstringer #smdaybosJoselin Mane
About reserving name on social platforms, check if your name is available – http://namechk.com #SMDayBOS #SocialMediaJoe Sabado
@JoeSabado thats a good one I would recommend @knowem to find out if your desired username is available across 500 platforms #smdaybosJoselin Mane
@JoselinMane @knowem nice! I didn’t know about that one. Thanks.Joe Sabado

@peterstringer says just because you have social media platforms to manage doesn’t mean don’t forget about your website content. #smdaybosSofia Nasr

How to respond to Negative Comments on Social Media
Great idea from @meggyry re: negative fans. Don’t respond, but keep an eye on it, and make execs aware of them. #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
. @meggyry says they DO respond to any customer service issues, though. (As they should.) #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
. @RedSox don’t answer neg tweets about what happens on field but do respond to #custserv problems then bring it to senior execs #SMdayBOSKate Scott
Social media didn’t create trolls (and their behavior)…it just gave them a larger public platform. #smdayBOSEric Stoller
Reporting Social Media
Love @meggyry explaining her "pulse report" to comminicate trends and customer interaction with @RedSox executives #SMdayBOSLauren Joseph
#SMdayBOS reporting in social media is helpful to top management to see how the brand is exposure on Social Media platformsNoelia Santa Ana
Google+ Part 1
"no evidence to suggest anyone’s actually using Google+" but good for SEO @peterstringer #smdaybosNatasha Kahn
How does Google+ stay in the conversation? Maybe we just haven’t figured out how it’s supposed to work yet? #SMdayBOSSchyler Cain
"Does anyone use Google+? Please raise your hand."- @erinsharoni. No hands were raised in the auditorium #smdayBosJessica Gawrych
I counted only 3 people raising their hands and claiming to use Google + #SMdayBOSCaitlin O
"How many people are using Google+? Five." Sad, but hilariously true. #smdayBOSAlia Mohsen
5 active Google Plus users according to @ErinSharoni #smdaybos @comugradTeagan Rae

Metrics Reports & ROI
What you report depends on who you report to. – @tamadear #socialmedia #SMDayBOSNaEun Park
Track everything, but report what matters. You need to be able to determine who wants to know what stats (and why). #smdayBOSErin M. Harris
