Chapter One: Starting from Social Media Scratch
Creative Exercise Assignments
Social media is both a science and an art, so it is important to emphasize the creativity of what can be accomplished using social media. Creativity is a process, and this exercise will help in creating more opportunities to formulate your own vision of what creativity means to you, but also for how it can be applied in a social media context. It is important not only to have a great idea, but to be able to execute it effectively and strategically.
Describe what social media means to you visually. How would you describe social media visually? Pick one of the following creative options to help you share how you would define social media:
Draw what social media means to you (hand or computer).
Create a 3 × 3 grid (nine total boxes) and choose nine emojis that represent your view of social media.
Make a social media mood board (like fashion designers do) or collage on what comes to mind when you think of social media.
Create a 15-second video (using Adobe Spark Video or another mobile app video) showing what social media means to you.
Think of how social media can help solve a big problem or opportunity. In your opinion, what big problem facing the world can social media address? Use your imagination when considering how social media can help address and solve this problem.
Implement new ideas for how to use social media. Pick a company, nonprofit, or brand that is known for a platform (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc.). Describe how the company, nonprofit, or brand is using this platform, and propose a new and innovative way to use it.
Self-Awareness Exercise
This exercise will gauge how you perceive you overall expertise and understanding of the field of social media.
Watch Gary Vaynerchuk’s self-awareness video, available from www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tKf1IR5j8 (but be aware of language).
How would you define social media? List several attributes that come to mind.
How would you characterize yourself as a social media user?
How would you characterize yourself as a social media strategist? Provide evidence and support for your answer.
On a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (completely), how self-aware are you about your social media work? Discuss how this applies to what Gary Vaynerchuk highlighted in his video.
What do you consider to be your strengths in your understanding of social media? What are your challenges?
What are some takeaways you hope to get from this class.
