Brand strategies must take this into account to ensure credibility in a market where consumers expect responsible attitudes.

  • Teaching and Learning with Social Media Tools, Cultures, and Best Practices Alice R
    ARTICLE Teaching and Learning with Social Media Tools, Cultures, and Best Practices Alice R. Daer Arizona State University Liza Potts Michigan State University Abstract. This article provides items to consider and best practices for implementing a strategic plan for the use of social media in technical and scientific communication programs. The authors contend that social media can be used, adopted, and implemented best when its champions are thinking strategically, not just tactically. They note that these strategies should be based on real- istic expectations about what students and users can contribute to a curriculum that integrates social media tools. Challenging popular assumptions about “digital natives,” the authors apply contemporary research on new literacy practices to provide concrete ideas for incorporating social media into curriculum design. Keywords. Social media, internet, pedagogy, literacy, identity, privacy, digital native ith the advent of social media technologies, program leaders and classroom instructors are challenged with launching, using, and Wteaching a variety of digital tools across various digital spaces. The past five years have seen more than 50 published pieces on the importance of technical communicators’ use of social media tools such as text messag- ing, instant messaging, microblogging, image-sharing, social network sites, and various mobile applications (Abel, 2011; Baehr & Henschel, 2013; Barton & Heiman, 2012; Damrau, 2011; Maggiani, 2011; Panke & Gaiser, 2009; Self, 2009; Swarts, 2011; Vashishtha,

Prohlašuji, ţe odevzdaná verze diplomové práce a verze elektronická nahraná do IS/STAG jsou totoţné. Ve Zlíně dne 16. dubna 2014 Peter Lukáč ABSTRAKT Tato diplomová práce je primárně zaměřená na problematiku virálního marketingu. Teore- tická část práce si klade za cíl komplexní zmapování jednotlivých aspektů virálního marke- tingu, přičemţ pozornost je věnována především rozdělení virálních sdělení dle klíčových atributů. Analytická část práce se zabývá rozborem konkrétních virálních kampaní a jejich rozdělením na základě předem vymezeného teoretického rámce. Druhá část analýzy je vě- nována průzkumu uţivatelského chování při sdílení obsahu v rámci sociálních médií, která pro šíření virálních sdělení hrají zásadní roli. V projektové části je pak na základě získa- ných poznatků vypracován návrh fiktivní virální kampaně, která vyuţívá kombinace vy- braných nástrojů digitálního marketingu. Klíčová slova: virální marketing, digitální marketing, interaktivní kampaň, sociální média, sociální sítě, sdílení obsahu, virtuální realita ABSTRACT This Diploma thesis is primarily focused on viral marketing issues. The theoretical part of the thesis aims to bring comprehensive description of particular aspects of viral marketing, while all the attention is mainly paid to division of viral communication according to some key attributes. The analytical part of the thesis deals with analysis of particular viral cam- paigns and their division based on formerly defined theoretical framework. The second part of the analysis is dedicated to users‘ behaviour research in terms of sharing content within social media, which are crucial mediator for spreading viral messages.
