Expertise Round-up
At Zapnito, our raison d'être is to enable the creation and sharing of expertise. That’s why we have rounded-up some of the month’s best expert commentary on issues affecting our customers.

From the Zapnito team

Data scientist James Siddle has been working with us here at Zapnito and customer Springer Nature to explore the structure and connectivity of Springer Nature’s numerous research communities. Here he shares his fascinating initial insights.

Much as GDPR has created a lot of work for us and our customers, Chief Product Officer Jen Thoroughgood thinks the publishers are actually ahead of the game in the post-GDPR world.

Whether you are a new community manager, an old hand, or someone who’s doing community management as part of their job, here you’ll find a lot of reassurance and helpful advice from our guest contributor and community management expert, Darren Gough.

From beyond Zapnito

A revealing read for anyone tasked with the often nebulous goal of ‘increasing engagement’ Harvard Business Review’s Maureen Hoch provides candid insight into HBR’s efforts to drive audience engagement. Many of her findings resonate with us, but what do you think? Take part in the conversation in our Customer Update Room.
"When you’re trying something new, you need to make sure you have some enthusiasts in the mix."

Once again, research is indicating that consumers are seeking out trusted sources of information as an alternative to fake news-infested social channels. Research from video ad marketplace Teads shows that due to the rise in fake news, over 75% of consumers are far more likely to seek out news sources they trust.
"26 percent of consumers associate the word “fake” with social media."

If you had been wondering about just how easy it was to add fake users to your audience, this BuzzFeed article makes it clear that it’s very easy indeed. This step-by-step expose on how to buy and set-up fake Facebook accounts and what happens when you do is depressing reading for anyone trying to build their audience on this increasingly problematic platform.
"Thirty minutes and a little bitcoin can buy you an army of believable Facebook users."

Customer Highlights
Every month, our customers provide invaluable expertise, launch innovative new products, and realise impressive commercial success. Here’s some highlights from this month...
|
|
The latest Zapnito network to go live is The Inspiring STEM Network, a place for knowledge exchange between STEM organisations and institutional stakeholders ranging from universities, governments and funders to industry and service providers. Just a few weeks old, it already has a host of great content for anyone looking to advance progress in STEM research and education.
|
|
If, like all of us, you are trying to keep up with the opportunities and challenges presented by new technology, the Digitalisation channel on the OECD’s Forum Network is a must-visit, with a steady stream of content from some of the world’s leading experts on the digital revolution. Follow senior executives from blue chip firms, politicians and other key influencers.
|
|
The UK Edge is home to a number of great examples of opinion pieces that demonstrate their authors’ expertise. This video from J.P. Morgan Client Portfolio Manager Andrew Robbens on the prospects for the UK high street is the latest illustration of thought leadership that provides value to readers and promotes the company in question. As ever, The UK Edge is a great example of content marketing that works.

Product Updates
Zapnito is the platform for quickly and easily creating branded hubs of experts and content, in order to create, share and promote expertise.
