  1. THE COURTof Social Grievances An online platform leveraging social media to resolve disputes Because justice is a spectator sport. Presented by Lilly Ghahremani, JD, MBA

  2. What’s the problem with this photo?

  3. The vision • Social media is home base for self-expression and our “second lives”. • The court that matters today is the court of public opinion. And yet it has no permanent residence. • Let’s capture the energy of the online world and use it to provide a reliable platform for the resolution of personal disputes. • COMMUNITY. QUICK ANSWERS. FUNNY & SOCIAL.

  4. How are people currently solving problems in their lives? • Social media • We go here by the millions to vent. We love talking about ourselves. • Advice chat boards • Yahoo Answers, etc. No community, no incentive. Basic & unattractive. • ODR sites • Heavy and legal. • The legal system • Expensive. Time-consuming. Intimidating. Skepticism. • Doesn’t cover the issues that keep us up at night.

  5. THE APPEAL OF ONLINE SOLUTIONS • Crowdsourcing • We now reach out to strangers for financial solutions, why not emotional? • Comfort • The easy way to communicate. • Instant gratification • The “solution” to your problem can be delivered online

  6. COURT IS NOW IN SESSIONThe Trifecta A single-source solution for: • Social disputes and questions • Have fun & gain loyalty • Customer complaint resolution (C2B) • Reinforce brand equity through positive PR • Minor legal cases The road ahead: higher stakes issues & diverse revenue sources

  7. Take it to the jury! (True story!)

  8. WHY iT WORKS • Something for every personality • The Plaintiff, The Jury, Judges, Advisors, The Defendant, Voyeurs & Friends • Reality legal programming is on the rise • Judge Judy: Sept 2013 averaged over 9.4M viewers — its best premiere-week viewership in 10 years; ahead of any other syndicated daytime show in terms of total viewers • Relatable • The consumer relates to reality TV, because “the events depicted could just as easily have happened to [them]” (Kilborn, 424)

  9. It’s ALL ABOUT The APPROACH • BE THE EFFICIENT OPTION • An accessible, time and cost-effective way to address - and resolve - personal matters. • ENTERTAIN THEM • Draw from the power of social networks for a “jury of your peers”. Distinguish ourselves from law by having a sense of humor about it all. • INSPIRE FREQUENT USE • Diversify with various avenues & reasons for user engagement, all under one umbrella (much like a court system).

  10. $trategies • Targeted Product Advertising • Uniquely motivated users • Referral Services • Attorneys and other experts issue “opinions” • Corporate Memberships • Large corps with emphasis on culture agree to have customer issues resolved publicly (Zappos, Southwest Air, Virgin, etc.) • Co-branding • Go to market strategy bolstered by partnering with existing community owners and co-branding with celebrities and others

  11. Growing the audience • Case of the Day highlights • Popular jurists • Compile/archive wisdom from past cases • Add new corporate members • Offline marketing events (appearances, live shows, etc.) • Global potential: China, the world
