initiative after liking a company at its

Facebook page source, but that dropped to

10% for a click on a “Like” button elsewhere

Soon after the release of the so-called

unbreakable new lock, someone

described on a bikeforum how he

managed to open it with an ordinary

ballpoint pen.

Though it waited for what some might

say was too long, the company decided

to recall all the new and unbreakable

locks and replace them .

We are accelerating the delivery of the

new disc cylinder locks and we will

communicate directly with our

distributors, dealers and consumers

within the coming days. The world just

got tougher and so did our locks. -

“hell hath no fury like a mommyblogger

scorned”

Motrin experienced first hand the power

of social media when it released a TV

campaign that blamed carrying babies in

a pouch for backpains, as a strategy to

sell pain killers.

After a while, the entire campaign was

hijacked by social media active mothers

who found it offensive.

Motrin responded by taking down the ad,

without engaging in conversation which

only added to the buzz.

Communispace found that the more

emotional responses were about the

firestorm and how Johnson & Johnson

had responded, not about the actual ad.

Motrin

Results: Motrin pulled the ad, apologized. (perhaps prematurely,– consider the following numbers: Percent of internet users who visit twitter at the time = 0.1%

Days that the ad went widely ignored for = 45

Mommies' youtube videos exposure = less than a 30s cable ad

Peak number of tweets/hour = 300

Estimated % of negative tweets = 35%

After Bob Parsons (GoDaddy‟s

CEO) posted a video of himself

shooting an elephant in Zimbabwe

and then tweeted to brag about it,

GoDaddy competitor Namecheap

offered to donate $1 for every

customer who transferred their

accounts over, raising over $20.000.

for Save the Elephants, a

conservation group.

PETA and other organizations also

denounced the move and

encouraged customers to stop

doing business with GoDaddy

GoDaddy CEO kills Elephant,

Results: Besides the media backlash, GoDaddy found themselves bleeding customers as

competitors jumped at the opportunity, offering discounted transfer fees and also vouching to donate

money to animal welfare organization for every new account.

The Milk Board and their agency, San

Francisco-based Goodby, Silverstein &

Partners, launched a new social media

campaign, a tongue-in-cheek look at how

drinking “milk can help reduce the

symptoms” of premenstrual syndrome.

The campaign, however was targeted at

men, and a micro-site, with the URL

“everythingidoiswrong.org,” was set up

and labeled for men as “your home for

PMS management.” The site was

launched around two weeks ago and

originally scheduled to be live through the

end of August. The site‟s content

included lists of “apologies” that men

could use with women with PMS

symptoms.

Milk Fail

Results: After just a few days, the Milk Board found themselves in the middle of a firestorm of criticism on Twitter,

Facebook, and the blogosphere as women rose up . Even FunnyorDie came up with a vicious parody ripping the

campaign. In the end Goodby and the Milk Board took the site down after 12 days and redirected the original URL to

a site titled “Got Discussion” where they tried to undo the damage done.

was launched in the Philippines,

asking women to get join a

Facebook page called “I Commit to

Change“. Once the members joined

the independent ‟cause‟ Pantene

unleashed its branding campaign,

promoting their latest products as

the agent of change. Feeling duped,

the women responded via social

media, posting blogs in which they

expressed their discontent at the

ruse.

Pantene‟s Cause Marketing

In all of their actions in the Facebook page including the notes

they said that it was a movement committing for change.

There was not a single mention that it is connected to any

commercial product or brand.

The stylish furniture maker Habitat

jumped on the Twitter bandwagon in

a big way but was exposed for

spamming. Its self-promoting tweets

that included popular trending topics

to attract attention.

And if including a hashtag# for a

popular HBO drama like "True

Blood" wasn't enough, the company

actually took advantage of the

misfortunes of others by including

"Mousavi" and the "Iran Election" on

tweet updates as well.

creative team, started the pay with a

tweet project which they describe as

such:

“In today's world the value of people

talking about your product is sometimes

higher than the money you would get for

it. „Pay with a Tweet‟ is the first social

payment system, where people pay with

the value of their social network.

It‟s simple, every time somebody pays

with a tweet, he or she tells all their

friends about the product. Boom.”

October 2007. However, they had no

clear direction until 2008. In 2008, The

outdoor experience. By December of

2008, they launched a free iPhone

application. In 2009, they relaunched the

included Twitter. They soon realized that

the best way to leverage Twitter and build

Survey Methods

Results are based on a Gallup Panel study consisting of web surveys completed by 17,254

national adults, aged 18 and older. Respondents were deemed proficient internet users based

on their ability to complete the survey via the web. The study was conducted in September and

October 2010. Gallup Panel members are recruited through random selection methods. The

panel is weighted so that it is demographically representative of the U.S. adult population. For

results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of

sampling error is ±1.43 percentage points. Margins of sampling errors vary for individual

subsamples. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in

conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

• Let them invite their friends to a testdrive;

give away a testerpack of beers; give a gift

subscription – but just ask them who it should

be given to:

Just ask....

Both in social media and real life – ask them!

The idea behind the project was to

give Vaseline Clinical Therapy lotion

to one Alaskan woman and to ask

her to lather it on everyone she

loved.

The people she gave the product to

loved it, and then they gave the

product to people they loved, who

gave it to people they loved, and so

on.

This is the essence of word of

mouth. Now, to make this Alaskan

network go even further, Vaseline

has created a website to show us

whose hands our main character,

Petal Ruch, was able to soften.

Prescribe the Nation

Results: 1,000 of her community‟s 6,000 residents switched to Vaseline Clinical Therapy

lotion. In 30 weeks of campaign, 3,000,000 people around the world have been

“prescribed” Vaseline Clinical Therapy

But how will I control all this?

This freedom will lead to thousands of inaccurate and divergent conversations.

So dont even try...

You cannot “control” every message

Their intentions may be pure

They may just be having a bad day

They may not see the (potential) harm in what they‟re doing

BUT EVERYTHING THEY SAY SHAPES YOUR BRAND

So be tolerant – and be ready...

Conclusions – in random order

Yes we can

Make sure you get the basics right

Integrate throughout the company

Give your people space and pride

Give room to the voice of the customer – by listening but also taking it into the boardroom and the rest of the company

Dont do „campaigns‟ – this is about behaviour and quality

Start with an insight, not an idea

Provide value, not noise

Build relationships

Happy customers bring more money and more customers

Go for the influencers – and turn them into promoters

Through Relevance; Engagement, reputation

Or in a nutshell

What does this do for the customer? How will it delight him? How will it encourage him to advocate us?

KLM wanted to reach out to KLM

passengers in the real world to

reward them for flying with KLM.

They monitored check-ins on

Foursquare at KLM locations and

did some social media monitoring to

find the people that mentioned KLM

in their check-in. When they had a

picture of who the person was, their

activities, interests and

personalities, they hunted them

down, bought them a small gift, and

gave it to them as they waited for

their flight.

KLM Surprise

But people still hate the company!
