INTRODUCTION • 02

— W H AT I S A S O C I A L M E D I A P L AY B O O K ? SOCIAL MEDIA HAS HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON EVERY INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD WITH TR AVEL AND HOSPITALITY BEING NO EXCEPTION. By establishing a Content Playbook we want to create a consistent and documented approach to listening and engaging with our social community and how content should be presented within our social ecosystem, so it reflects the essence of our brand and what we stand for. This Playbook will guide you when working with social media. We encourage regular self-education to be up-to-date on social enhancement, best practices, successful social media integration and case studies. Visit the Radisson Social Portal to stay up to date.

WHO SHOULD USE THIS DOCUMENT?

Anyone looking to create or promote content across Radisson Blu’s social channels should use this document to gain a better understanding of our approach to social media and how to create content according to the content buckets established within this guide.


KEY D R I V E TO W E B B R A N D AWA R E N E S S LOYA LT Y

OBJECTIVES — SOCIAL MEDIA OBJECTIVES The goal of social media is multi­purpose. One of the main goals of using social media is to help drive people to our website, and eventually make a booking. Purely statistically, the more people we can push onto our platforms, the more bookings we make. Of course, another equally important function of social media is to increase brand awareness. By creating content that is of quality and ‘shareable’, we increase the visibility of the Radisson Blu brand. How familiar are people with the Radisson Blu brand across social media? Where and how can we increase our exposure? These are important questions when it comes to brand awareness.

Brand awareness is typically measured by looking at the reach and impressions gained by each piece of content. Many social channels reward brands for good pieces of content by increasing the reach. Paid media support will also ensure that more people are exposed to our content within our target audience. Social media is also here to create a conversation culture. By engaging with our guests, joining in their online conversations and sharing guest content, we are making our guests feel valued. At the end of the day, a valued guest becomes a loyal one and so we also support in driving loyalty to our brands.

RADISSON BLU BRAND • 06

We are truly passionate about delivering and driving unforgettable, stylish design, and we want our brand pillars; Memorable, Stylish and Purposeful to be the filter through which our guests experience our brand anytime, anywhere. Please consult the Radisson Blu brand guidelines for more information, available on the Intranet library or Connect.

— U N D E R S TA N D I N G YO U R S O C I A L AUDIENCE Understanding the social behavior and motivation of our target groups is critical. Social media is routed in rewarding people with content that they desire, based on individual interests. IF WE WANT TO MA XIMIZE OUR RETURN FROM OUR CONTENT ACTIVITIES AND IMPROVE CONVERSIONS, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:

• What are our guests interested in? • What topics resonate best? • When are they online? • Which social channels do they spend most time on? • What kind of posts do they engage with the most? Keep in mind the audience of the content you share and take into account cultural sensitivities. Take the time to study your market and consider things like body language, clothing and alcohol as examples. In addition, stay away from controversial topics – there should be no reference to religion or politics.

The attitudinal target audience for Radisson Blu is confident individuals who switch effortlessly between business and leisure mind-sets. Educated and well-travelled, they recognize and value better service, attention to detail and like to be surrounded by style.

— EX AMPLES INSTAGRAM

It is important we track engagement and community growth on our social channels so that we know what content is working best by looking if our target audience is engaging with it. This in turn leads us to improve our content development for the brand keeping the guest at center stage. Monitoring the Insights of our social media channels is key to ensuring we are sharing content our guests want to see and ensures we understand our audience. Every social media platform has Insights you can refer to. For example, use Instagram’s Insights tool* to see when your followers are online which will help you know when to post and see your most engaging posts. On Facebook, see the Insights in the Business Manager. Check out where your fans are from plus engagement and reach of your page posts.

WHY TR ACK ENGAGEMENT? In its simplest terms engagement represents the interactions between brands and people. On Facebook for example engagement is represented in likes, comments and shares. We must monitor our brand engagement as it indicates how strongly our audience resonates with our content.

WHY TR ACK OUR COMMUNITY GROWTH? We want to increase the size of our social community over time. Monitoring the number of fans on each channel allows us to see how quickly new people are joining our community and whether the content that we produce is engaging. We aim to see a steady growth rate in our new fans and followers. * For Insights, ensure the hotel is set up on Instagram as a Business Profile. Consult Playbook Appendix for more details.

LANGUAGE OUR BR AND TONE OF VOICE STANDARDS APPLY FOR OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE:

• We express ourselves through thoughtful, memorable details. We know that what our guests will remember are the small thoughtful gestures that show our empathy. • We speak clearly and calmly. We do not bombard our guests with meaningless adjectives. • We are warm and welcoming, never cold. • We write to actively engage the reader in conversation. • We demonstrate though our words our ‘Yes I Can!’ attitude and our dedication to every detail of a guest’s experience. • The ethos of the brand, Meaningful and Memorable experiences in Stylish spaces, is always transmitted through our words. The Radisson Blu tone of voice reflects the brand’s unique, memorable, stylish and purposeful guest experience. When we reach out to the upper upscale business or leisure traveler, we pay close attention to the small details that make a big difference. Hotels should post in English language to broaden the reach of content posted. This can be supplemented in local language.

THE RADISSON BLU BRAND • 10

— EX AMPLES

It is important to keep in mind that all social media content contributes to users’ perceptions of the Radisson Blu brand. We are an upperupscale brand and this must be reflected in our imagery and tone. We are memorable, stylish and purposeful. We only have a few seconds to catch people’s attention. Therefore, we must create social content that is eye catching and that people recognize as Radisson Blu content across our social media channels. This will help us to drive the conversation within travel and design. THE IMAGE IS THE FIRST THING THAT A USER WILL SEE. WE MUST CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

• Does this image align with the rules set out in the look and feel section? • Does it align with the purpose of the post? • Does it tell a clear story? • Is it shareable? • Have we credited the source of the image if required? Hotels should focus on sharing photography from their own property and destination only. It is the role of the brand account to share multiple hotels and destinations. NOTE: Although Instagram offers a wealth of filters, high quality photos we select for our Instagram feed should be able to stand on their own. Avoid filters overshadowing your image and never alter a guest image when resharing. We recommend using this simple download tool: https://downloadgram.com

— CONTENT ECOSYSTEM

Social media can serve many functions. We are able to drive traffic to our owned channels which is key to achieving our business goals but we can also distribute the content from our channels in various formats across social too. Positioning the blog and/or website at the heart of our ecosystem provides a destination for our social content and gives a greater chance to move users through the funnel and closer to our brand.

CO N T E N T HUB

Social channels are our distribution network for our owned content, with supporting initiatives and campaigns designed to interact with our customers and attract new fans.

Please bear in mind that social media is both give and take. We should try to have a good balance of traffic driving posts as well as content that is designed to entertain, inspire and inform within the platform itself.

TRAFFIC

When creating a piece of content for social media consider what you want the audience to do. Do you want them to read a blog post, or visit a specific property page on the website? Be clear in your messaging so that people know what to expect if they click on a link.

— CONTENT C R E AT I O N ACROSS ALL OF OUR ACTIVE SOCIAL PLATFORMS

FOR HOTELS:

Facebook, Instagram, Weibo, Wechat and VK

FOR BR AND:

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, VK and instant messaging.

WE NEED TO ASK

• Why are we on (platform name)? • What are we trying to achieve? • Who are we targeting? • How are we incorporating the content buckets in each platform? • What are the best practice methods that we can use for each platform? When considering where to post on it’s also worth noting that we should not copy and paste content across each platform. It’s ok not to have every piece of content on every single channel. We must take a focused approach and select the platforms that best serve the objectives for that piece of content.

OUR APPROACH TO CONTENT CREATION We need to follow a content creation process in order to ensure that every piece of content we publish has a clear purpose. When activating and creating different types of content make sure: • Timings are aligned with other communication activities both online and offline • You have clear objectives, purpose and goals for the content • The activity is aligned with one of the content buckets • To follow up and analyze the results of the activity for future reference


CONTENT CREATION • 13

CONVERSATION STARTER What is the purpose for this piece of content? Is it routed in an insight or is it aligned with a trend, current news etc. • Is it inspirational? • An inside tip or advice on a destination? • Is there an exciting event coming up?

CONTENT BUCKET Can we use a content bucket to guide the creation of this content? (See next slide)

CONTENT CREATION

CONTENT OPTIMIZATION Are we monitoring the content’s performance and using those learnings to inform the next piece of content? Hotels are encouraged to use the individual platforms’ Insights tools.

F R A M E WO R K The content creation framework will help guide you through the content creation process. By working your way through each step you should be able to create social media content that aligns with our objectives and provides value to our audience.

CONTENT TOOLS

What assets (images/videos/blog post) do we currently have that we can make use of or do we need to create a new asset? What is the best format for this piece of content and which channels will it work best on?

This is all about sparking curiosity, reminding existing customers why it is they choose Radisson Blu and highlighting how Radisson Blu is different. It can also touch on the same details that can be found in the location surrounding the hotel, be that fascinating architecture or stylish places to visit. For example, you may want to highlight places to visit within walking distance of the hotel such as a design museum, iconic landmarks or viewpoints. These stories can be further amplified on the Radisson Blu blog.

Grab your follower’s attention with interesting angles of your hotels that capture unique design features.

• Highlight hotel renovations

Show off interesting design features of your hotel. Be inspired by what guests take photos of most at your hotel, it can sometimes be a surprise what they find most unique!


U S E R G E N E R AT E D CONTENT

When it comes to imagery, social media can have different needs than a website or newsletter for example. Additionally, UGC provides the perfect opportunity for you to turn the conversation “inside-out” instead of “outside-in”, a major element of our overall social strategy. It demonstrates our commitment to putting our guests first and foremost, and is likely to be shared and engaged with much more than promotional content. So why is guest content so important? It’s authentic and much more credible than the brand telling the story. People place a lot of value now on peer recommendations and ultimately engaged and valued guests become loyal. Our content vision is based on turning guests into ambassadors as they often make our hotels look better than we do!

ON SOCIAL MEDIA

ATTENTION! NEVER USE UGC WITHOUT CREDITING THE AUTHOR.

USER GENERATED CONTENT • 20

— EX AMPLES

A central element of our User Generated Content strategy is the Guestagram competition, a powerful incentive for guests to create high-quality photographs during their stays. Plus, it underlines the brand’s commitments to sharing our guests’ stories and experiences. This is how it works: guests can win a free 100 Euro voucher to any Radisson Blu property. They participate by posting images on social media during their stays using the hashtag #RadissonBlu. Spread the word about Guestagram when sharing guest photos, for example ‘We love this photo from @xxx. Be sure to share your best photo with #RadissonBlu for a weekly chance to win a €100 voucher!’. Find out more and see the T&C here.

— U S E R G E N E R AT E D CONTENT (UGC)

Show photos that echo the design aesthetic of Radisson Blu, also with the subtle addition of the brand logo.

The Guestagram contest is not the only way to find UGC. Whenever you see a great guest photo on Instagram for example, you are free to ask the person who published it if you can use it. Here’s an example of the type of comment you can write: “What a great shot! Would you mind if we share it on our social media channels and tag you for credit?” Hotel tip! Browse the Instagram geo location of your hotel to find guest photos taken at your hotel and make use of them in your feed.

Highlight photos with guests in to show a more authentic photo of your hotel.

USING VIDEO

Video is the here and now of content marketing. It is naturally engaging and, in an age of information overload, it’s vital to offer easy to digest content or consumers will simply move on. Video does this very well and is the most engaging form of content on social media today. We recommend working with your regional team and Content Lab when creating videos in order to maintain branding standards. Before doing so, make sure to review our video guidelines to ensure you’ve considered best practices. However, social media is all about being “in the moment” and making video on the go. If you are going to be doing the filming yourself using a smartphone, we recommend a few tips to make your video content more engaging.

ON SOCIAL MEDIA

EXPLORE OUR SOCIAL VIDEO GUIDELINES HERE


— G R A B AT T E N T I O N E A R LY It’s vital to grab your audience’s attention within the first few seconds of your video. You need to capture viewers’ interest within the first few seconds or they’ll stop watching and move on to something else. This forces you to be concise and get right to the point. The ‘hook’ of your video is an important part of capturing interest, because it should explain why viewers should care or be interested. You should place hooks within the first or second frame of the video, before users have a chance to scroll away.

— F E AT U R E A C ALL TO ACTION What is the goal of your video? Goals require some sort of user action whether that’s getting people to visit your website or share your video. While viewers should get the idea of what you want them to do just from the video, you should always have a clearly stated call to action (CTA). It’s most effective to place CTAs at the end of the video. Consider a short sentence encouraging users to visit the blog/website using a short URL or feature a hashtag. Ending the video with the hashtag and brand logo is a best practice.

— VIDEO LENGTH & A U T O P L AY

USING VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA • 24

— EX AMPLES

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED SHOOTING OR EDITING YOUR VIDEO, CONSIDER THE OPTIMAL VIDEO LENGTH FOR SOCIAL SHARING. Consult the video guidelines here. In general, the shorter videos the better for maximum impact. If you’ve created a longer video, consider splitting it up into short snippets under 30 seconds which will be shareworthy on social media. Remember the average attention span of a viewer is very short, so we need to tell the message quickly and get our key information out at the beginning of the video. Sharing video on Facebook allows users to easily interact and share the content – it’s no surprise a great portion of a user’s NewsFeed is filled with video content as autoplay has made it the most engaging type of content to share. Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram offer Autoplay as a feature. When users scroll through their news feeds, your video automatically plays as it passes over their screen. This encourages users to watch your video, because it’s already playing. Feature movement within the first few frames to enhance the Autoplay feature and grab attention quickly. TIP:

For Facebook, upload videos natively and not via a YouTube link to optimize the way the video appears in a user’s news feed. You can also optimize your video by uploading a thumbnail. Visit the Brand Artwork Tool for social media templates.

Deckchair webcam content is perfect video content! Share a timelapse and ask the Content Lab for a branded outro. If your hotel is interested in a Deckchair camera, please contact the Social Media team.
