"Brands are not passive. They do not merely appear. They are about action. Doing something. Choosing something. Believing something. They motivate people to buy. To choose. To vote. To commit. To recommend. To connect"

Which structure should you best implement for your social media programme?
Mainly two types of structures are competing: the centralised model versus the decentralised!

Each model has its own strengths and weaknesses.
When you develop the structure of your social media programme, you need to consider which type of model matches best your organisation’s needs and culture.

In a centralised model, a central entity, called “the hub”, creates the message, the content, the strategy and makes all the decisions for the entire social media programme.

Advantages:
- a complete control over the message and the content,
- a complete control over the execution of the programme,
- collaboration is easier.

Disadvantages:
- a tendency to become bureaucratic,
- it encourages a “corporate style” instead of creating human connections.

In the scenario of the decentralised model, the central hub it is joined by multiple satellites that can also create their own specific messages and content.

Advantages:
- topics are driven by direct initiative,
- the team that feeds the discussion brings deep insights,
- it brings competency in the discussed field,
- a convenient friendly tone it is used.

Disadvantages:
- the control is more difficult,
- there is a risk of ineffective scatter.

Whatever your choice may be, your social media programme must be carefully installed.

"On the YouTube One Channel layout, you can show a trailer that will only appear (and autoplay!) to people who are not already subscribed to your channel. This is the perfect chance for you to let viewers know what your channel is all about and tell them why they should subscribe. Keep it short and to the point, eye-catching - and include a clear call to action, inviting your audience to subscribe"

The European AIDS Clinical Society Biennial Report 2015 is the first edition of the newly launched report that has been distributed during the 15th European AIDS Conference, held in Barcelona, October 21-24, 2015.

The European AIDS Conference is held every two years. EACS aims at bringing together scientists from all over Europe to facilitate an exchange of the latest information regarding clinical aspects of the disease.

As Professor Manuel Battegay, EACS President, said: “the Biennial Report is "a new way to illustrate to our constituency during each biennial EACS Conference what has been achieved and what lies ahead for Europe’s largest Society of health care professionals working in the  eld of HIV/AIDS.”

The report includes information about the Society’s achievements and its organisation.

The European AIDS Clinical Society is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to promote excellence in standards of care, research and education in HIV infection and related co-infections, and to actively engage in the formulation of public health policy, with the aim of reducing HIV disease burden across Europe.

Page in extremis is glad to have participated in the creative development and the graphical production of the Biennal Report.

Social Media Programme should begin with focused listening rather than unfocused publishing. Most of the content published on the social web is searchable by keyword and topic. Every mention of your organisation can be reached, organised, quantified, and analysed.

1) Begin by performing an audit of your organisation social presence by using traditional search engines.

2) Look for keyword combinations, like your “association’s name” plus “reputation” or “image”…

Then, investigate into popular social media platforms. Use their search box. The more you learn, the better you can make an intelligent decision.

Building an intelligence component into your social media programme gives your organisation a central tactical edge.

The development team of the website of the European Committee of the Regions has used intensely this process aiming to better meet the needs of its audience and to provide information in an efficient and user-friendly way.

As a result, five sliding panels on the homepage give direct access to the main website sections. The “Follow us” tab takes you straight to the social media: FlickR gallery, YouTube channel, Facebook’s page, Twitter’s feed and eNewsletter subscriptions…

A brand’s image can be severely impacted by a multitude of online conversations resulting from a single insipid incident.

Fortunately, by the same token, a brand can be refreshed (or even rebuilt) through an effective and well-managed use of social media.

Nowadays, It is almost unthinkable to have a social media program without some sort of digital Brand management role embedded into it.

The role of the digital Brand management consists of four principal functions:
- Representing an organisation online,
- Being the voice of the “community” inside the organisation,
- Mediating online debates,
- Keeping contents fresh and interesting.

Create a digital brand management practice consists of developing a communications infrastructure that can deal with the growing breadth of media channels used by both the organisation and the public to communicate with each other.

CMS brings together the States through which migratory animals pass, the Range States, and lays the legal foundation for internationally coordinated conservation measures throughout a migratory range.

As the only global convention specialising in the conservation of migratory species, their habitats and migration routes, CMS complements and co-operates with a number of other international organisations, NGOs and partners in the media as well as in the corporate sector.

The visual identity of the campaign is signed by the communication agency Page in extremis.
