Rafael Martínez: "If you are representing corporate business purposes, must "embody" the brand around what we can "
Interview with Rafael Martinez, Director of Marketing on line of Hotel Auditorium Madrid, that blog just launched :
"If the company is represented corporate purposes, there that "embody" the brand all what can "
What is your exact fee?
My job, exactly, is the Director of Online Marketing. As you can imagine, this designation involves many actions, including several specializations in
- Shares of Social Media - Monitoring the presence and image of the hotel in different social media Web 2.0, shares of e-mail marketing and management newsletters.
- Reputation Management Online - Security and interactivity as to what is said about us in the Red
- SEO - Search engine optimization, both technical and human, that is, using all means at our disposal to position our website as close to the first position based on key words.
- Campaigns Manager Online Marketing - Using social media, on one side and "Ad Words" by another.
What is? What are your duties?
My job is to coordinate all the actions that I outlined in the previous question by organizing technical and human resources available to the hotel for it.
In those roles, do you think the job title is appropriate? If you had to name it, would you call this or otherwise? In my case it is appropriate, since it is a position that - as I said - includes all actions related to online marketing. If we are to detail, ie the designation of responsibility for each action, I think the terms are unclear, especially Social Media Manager and Community Manager. In my opinion, Community Manager should refer to the person who manages a social community itself (for Magic Costablanca, RTM Hotels, Hosteltur ,...). On the other hand, Social Media Manager is managing the presence and reputation of the mark in all communities, blogs, forums, portals opinion which is likely to appear.
"In the hotel sector and has ever heard the figure of the Social Revenue Manager, ie someone who is able to manage prices based on social media in general, not just to market trends."
Do you think this type of work should be done in a personal capacity (a person with names) or corporate title (anonymously, on behalf of the company)?
The key is to achieve the highest possible level of personification. If the representative is a person with names and surnames, the embodiment already there by definition. If the company is represented corporate purposes, there that "embody" the brand everything we can. People (customers), speak with people, not brands.
For me, the best option would be to get user log in using the trade mark itself and the image was personified, that is, when they interact with you, I do believe you're a person, although the brand name appears. If this is not achieved, it is better to work with name and surname of the person doing
Web users identify the brands with advertising, and the ideal situation is to reverse this "image."
What others think that new professional demands of the Information Society, related with the media and new technologies?
For the moment, to my knowledge, the basic profiles are the four you indicated in Question, since they encompass all actions necessary to address this new environment. However, I am sure there will be new professional profiles. In the hotel sector and has ever heard the figure of the Social Revenue Manager, ie someone who is able to manage prices based on social media in general, not just to market trends. And concepts are also used as "innovation unit" or "Business Intelligence Management." I do not know what will appear over time, but I'm sure new figures come out today, still no suspect.
