Our Promise to You
1. We will not lie: Our firm is small and each of us has the freedom to use social meddia to speak our minds and show our true personality. While some of these thoughts may not be your cup of tea, we hope that you will appreciate that they are, at their core, genuine and honest. If we make a mistake, we'll admit it. If we don' tknow the answer, we'll ask for help. We, in no way, purport to be flawless social media gods...just very, very curious and hard-working people.
2. We will never treat another person as just a number: If we wanted to, we could focus on proactively beefing out number of followers, friends, retweets, hashtag mentions and a host of other deliverables. but that's just not how we roll. We believe that each social media contract we establish represents a relationship with another person - a person who is interested in exchanging information, content, questions and dialogue. Do we conduct quantifiable analysis of these relationships? Of course. Is that data the sum total of the value of the connection? Not in a million years.
3. We will always give credit where credit is due: Information moves fast on the Web, and it's easy for credit to get lost in the shuffle. If we learned something from you, or you think you are amazing, we will make a commitment to making sure that the world knows it. However, on the flip side, if you steal credit for what Seeds of Growth has done or said we're not going to waste too much time tracking you down to pass along on condemnations. Thats what karma is for (and we sincerely hope that you will endure the wrath God will do to you).
4. We will be driven by our passion: We're in this business because we love it. If something piques our curiosity, we're going to explore it. If something sets us off, we're going to confront it. We work with companies and seek out connections through social media drive by this passion and interest, not by some pre-established corporate quotas. As a result, you may notice us casting a pretty wide net in the social media-sphere. We hope that even if we tweet, blog or post about something that's not of interest to you, that you'll stick around to check out what we do next.
5. We will recognize (and be honest about) our limitations: No one at Seeds of Growth is the one true authority on any of this stuff. The world and the web change too fast for any of us to make that claim. But, we also acknowledge that we spend more time thinking about this stuff than your average Joe and Jill. So, we pledge to play in the social media space as both a teacher and a student and are happy to trade these hats depending on the environment or the questions thrown at us.
6. We will remain focused on using social media as a business tool: We've got nothing againist Mafia Wars or Farm Town or the hundreds of other social games floating around the Web, but our interest as a firm is not in using social media to play. We're here to work (and yes, part of our work invovles socializing... which is a big reason why we love our jobs so muhc. We don't send game requests (or quizzes or chain anything's) to our followers and friends, and we don't accept those requests in return. Nothing personal, folks.
7. We will not automate our participation: We pride ourselves in giving our clients and contracts personal attention. This is a philosophy you'll see refected back in our social media behaviors. We don't auto direct-messages or auto-follow back Twitter followers. We don't hire people to manage our Facebook pages. We don't hand out blog assignment according to a fixed editorial calendar. Our primary focus is on interacting with and helping people, so when you deal with our firm, you'll deal exclusively with people, too.
8. We will attempt to be "On It" ...at all times: We are not online all the time, but we also aren't hte type of companyt hat unplugs on Friday afternoons and plugs back in on Monday mornings. Our firm tries to maintain an ambient awareness of our industry at all times. So you'll see us logging in at odd hours, netowrking within diverse communities and aggregating information from all the media we consume (on and offline) into our thinking and approach. It may seem a little schizophrenic at times, but when you think about it, that's kind of how the Web is too.
9. We will always be changing: We believe that our strength as a firm is that we are friendly, fast and fearless. To stay competitive, we are committed to searching for answers to the latest questions, educating ourselves on the latest tools and technologies, and meeting the latest hot "thought leaders". We believe that success is increasingly an iterative process, so we have a plan in place for everything we do, but we don't treat these plans and precious vessels. Instead, they're serving as guideposts for a series of unpredictable adventures we're having with our clients and contacts.
10 We will never fall in love with our own hype: Quite frankly, we are mystified by the number of perfectly normal people we've seen become totally enamored by their own perceived Internet celebrity-dom. We think being appreciated is great. And we would love to see our firm become more competitive and get more credit for the work we do. However, the minute you hear of us refer to being "famous", you have our permission to hunt us down and smack some sense into us.
