2014 Summary


STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS

Social Media
A social media presence has increasingly become more important in reaching and communicating with customers. In 2014, the Waste Management team focused on identifying social media opportunities and developing a structure for outreach. The team coordinated with Waste Management's national social media team to identify opportunities to share content. At the regional level, Waste Management developed a plan and editorial calendar for a blog; created a recommended structure, content and posting schedule for Robin Freedman's (WM's Senior Communications Manager) Twitter account; and conducted a social media training session to guide future efforts. Social media was also integrated in the various RSA tasks, such as building a following and posting consumer tips and photos from community events.







Advertising Matrix

The matrix includes sample objectives such as education, raising awareness and encouraging incentive uptake. Each sample objective was evaluated against a variety of advertising mediums such as online, outdoor, and television - the matrix outlines the pros and cons of each advertising medium. Waste Management is also considering developing a similar matrix for Spanish outreach campaigns.
