SOMESSO[edit]
SOMESSO is the neutral ‘think and do tank’ platform in Europe for corporate stakeholders to explore, share and apply the tools and thinking necessary to benefit from the potential of social media. Its mission is to accelerate the understanding and adoption of social media by corporations. Through its unbiased social business strategy consulting services, European events, (freely accessible) website archive, and world-class corporate community, SOMESSO bridges the gap between corporate culture and the ‘web 2.0 society’. SOMESSO was founded in Zurich (Switzerland) by Arjen Strijker [1] - a Dutch entrepreneur who wants to improve the ways companies communicate do business today.
Social Business Strategy Consulting[edit]
SOMESSO Social Business Strategy Consulting helps organisations with defining and executing an overall and unbiased company social media strategy. Such a strategy helps any company or department to confidently improve its business performance, marketing efforts and overall communication. Unbiased advice is guaranteed as the role of SOMESSO is to act as the medium, while outsourcing implementation work to trusted consultants and technology vendors within the community.
Events[edit]
SOMESSO regularly hosts conferences, meetups and other events, which field an innovative mix of companies and speakers from Europe and the U.S. Speakers and delegates of past events include Swiss Re, INHolland university of applied sciences, Google, Zurich Insurance, UBS, Credit Suisse, Danone, Adecco, XING, and Sony Ericsson, as well as world thought-leaders in social business, such as Stowe Boyd, Umair Hague (Economist at Harvard Business Review), and JP Rangaswami of British Telecom.
Future events will continue to take place annually in Zurich and London.
In addition to the conferences, SOMESSO has hosted pre-events[2] and meetups in exclusive locations[3] across Europe.

Content Archive[edit]
The SOMESSO Archive is a comprehensive media library of (freely available) peer case studies, presentations, videos, interviews, articles and more. The Archive is continuously updated with new content that is generated at SOMESSO Events and by the community.
Corporate Community[edit]
The SOMESSO corporate community is vital to the prosperity of the platform itself, as well as to the ongoing dialogue to accelerate the adoption and understanding of social media in corporations. It is a strongly community of corporate delegates, industry thought leaders and other stakeholders that gather not only online via social tools like Facebook and Twitter, but also “offline” at the SOMESSO conferences and Meetups throughout Europe. This way, virtual fosters physical and people gather to build new connections and business. SOMESSO strives to lead its growing community to set and maintain a high standard for social business.
