The @KitchenAidUSA Crisis and 4 Ways it Could Have Been Avoided

By now, the uproar caused by the #SocialMediaCrisis behind KitchenAid’s accidental tweet has somewhat ceased and people have gone back to looking for a new, juicy story to dramatize. But the important question remains: Did we learn our lesson? Recap: In case you somehow slept through the last 5 days of painful backlash that KitchenAid endured, it was caused by a tweet sent out from the Brand’s Twitter Channel during the Presidential Debate last week: ”Obamas gma even knew it was going 2 b bad! ‘She died 3 days b4 he came president’. #nbcpolitics” Obama had mentioned his grandmother, Madelyn Lee Payne Dunham, during the debate. She died November 2, 2008, just before Obama was elected president. KitchenAid’s Response: During the first 24 hours of the crisis, KitchenAid did the best they could have in an attempt to put out the fire and they did a good job. 1.

5 Elements to Include in your Corporate Social Media Policy

Living in the days that Social Media has become a common tool for corporate crisis management – in some cases causing the crisis and in others attempting to tame the uproar a crisis has produced – it has become necessary and mandatory for businesses to have a Social Media Policy. This should be a document that is often re-visited and reformatted to keep up with the times. But how are they written? What should be included in one? After dissecting several major corporate social media policies, I came up with a list of findings that I think should be included and what to steer away from. Where to Start? The Basics It is key to think about the readers when creating your policy. Are all employees required to read it or only a select group? The entire company should be responsible for reading a company’s Social Media Policy, just as they need to read all other company policies. This could mean there are a number of different skill levels, positions within the company and ages of employees reading it, therefore it must be short, to the point and easy to understand. My findings: When looking through other corporate Social Media
