First Colombian Presidency live Conference on Youtube -18 Jan 2013

Primer Google Hangout On Air con el Presidente Juan Manuel Santos

WHAT WENT WELL

  • Guest speakers were clear, engaging and inspirational. Congratulations to them!
  • Moderator was successful at leading the conversations.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT
  • Offer clear instructions where the “live” conference will be held. It was not clear and many Google+ participants were not sure whether the “live” conference was on Google+ or over Youtube or at the official Colombian Presidency website.
  • Ensure viewers are invited to a unique/single url. The Google Hangout description added more than one url creating confusion. 
  • Starts conference on time. Colombian Presidency should lead by example. 
  • Ensure live speaker is featured on the main Youtube screen. Many occasions, users were prompted with the moderator playing with her hair while guest speaker was talking on the background.
  • The Youtube “Description” tab can be filled in with useful, topical and relevant information. It was empty at the “live” time.
  • Avoid repetitions when talking (time 49:56) 
  • Improve conference closing remarks: Ensure, viewers are invited to the next Conference with specific time and date, offer information ( specially to entrepreneurs) on where they can find more support. Closing remarks can include inviting viewers to follow more news and Conference invites by following the Presidency social media channels.
  • Be consistent with the official set ups and backgrounds. Moderator background did not feel viewers were actually watching an official Colombian Presidency conference while the President background included the Colombian flag.
  • Ensure you Close the conference. Avoiding “Que te pareció Juan Manuel” and laughs on the background. (Time: 50:38)

Would the new Zara Sydney lauch tomorrow create some social media glue and general media attention? Well, Below is a simple baseline (using free tools) on how the “Zara” brand is just one day before launch and the idea is to compare those numbers after four weeks of launch date and see how successful the Zara clothes brand picked up general media and social media coverage. The below data does not pretend to be an exact way of measuring social media coverage but can give retailers and very good indicative on how to measure social and general media reach with free tools.
