How did you impact change in social media at Pitney Bowes?

"Pitney Bowes had been going through a transformation. There's been a lot of change over the past four years. With the arrival of a new CMO, a marketing group was formed in social media and all of our marketing efforts in general became much stronger than they had been in the past. One of my many roles was to work with executives one-on-one to help them see the value of social, teach them how to become more active on social and how to build relationships online beyond Twitter and sharing pictures. In 2015 we also went through a whole re-branding process and worked with a number of executives to tell their senior leadership stories externally on Twitter. This also helped to get executive buy-in at a high level. Once we started with executives on their stories, they really got involved and worked hard to build their social presence along with writing content and blogs to support their Twitter Chats. It was these live conversations and experiencing for themselves that led our executives to have their 'aha' moments about social media."

Why is Pitney Bowes on social media today, and what are you trying to achieve?

"We're on social to raise awareness about our different capabilities?. We're going through a period of transition, so one of our main goals is perception and how people view us as – not only a mail company, but also a technology and global e-commerce company. We want to convey this message in all of our posts and interactions on social media. We also want to continue to build relationships with our community and our customers. You have to be where your customers are and if they are on social, you really have to engage with them."
