Why do we love frogs?
Flexible What is your current use of internet technologies? How quickly are you able to
scale these different channels?
Receptive What is the current flow of innovation from feedback? How updated on current
technologies and tools are you? Internal staff training?
Objective Do you really know what you want? Do you have a fixed strategy and set
objectives? What is your time scope?
Good
Hearer
How much do you listen to your customers? Can you measure this? What do you
do with this data – Actions?
Subtle What is your current marketing campaign like? What is you current Lead-to-sales
conversion? Are you increasing traffic towards your site? Are your campaigns
aggressive? In line with target customer behaviour preferences and trends?
Agile How quick are you able to implement changes? How much resources have you
dedicated to social media operations. What are your B2B relationships? What is
the external perception of your company?
Authentic Do you use automated responses? What is the quality of the content? How many
official pages do you have? How is the information managed? Do you make a real
attempt to establish a relationship with your customers? Are you using the right
platforms – is this in line with where your target customers are?
Patient Is the time you’ve allowed realistic? Are you rushing? What degree of
preparation is the business in? Do you understand how the internet campaigns
work? Are your goals too high for the time you’ve allowed?

This next section intends to substantiate our belief that
Social Media presence is essential for any global and
modern business. We’ll show you how.
Our viewpoint analysis of 4 main pillars in successful social media marketing:
Product
• 46% of consumers make purchase decisions via online word-of-mouth about food and beverages
It’s such a personal topic!
• Products are typically consumed in social situations: High customer loyalty trend
• Ability to exploit social media exposure through video campaigns: A visual experience
Innovation
• Increasing flows of communication leads to higher public engagement & greater flow of ideas
• Allows for the continuous perfection of the product: through authentic media presence
• Continuous B2B service innovations: reduce costs & time. Providing scaling & growth prospects
Marketing
• Ability to increase inbound marketing methods: Educating the customer & becoming ‘friends’
• Company gains a personality, a voice, an opinion. Followers read daily feed of company posts
• There is a lot of different platforms to exploit & also high potential for Guerrilla marketing.
1. Big Plus: Everyone loves soda
Food & Beverage companies are amongst the biggest players in Social Media
Marketing. Below are some of the ways we believe High Social Media Potential
can be exploited:
Sponsoring professional athletes
Online video campaigns
Brand personality: ‘Cool’, ‘Radical’
Interlinked main platforms
Mass Customisation
Focused user engagement strategy
Creating a community of users –
more than a brand
Wide mobile network & Investment
in high viewing sports shows

2. Customer engagement
Community
creation
• Optimising main marketing source; word-of-mouth through an officially hosted platform
• Creating prizes, experiences and promoting adventures online through P2P discussions around brand
• Content is representation of brand personality via the interaction with customers and communications via
emails, FB, TW , YT, Vimeo amongst vehicles.
Authenticity
• Authentic personalised comments and responses on official platform – 24 hours marketing
• Quick response time – use of hotline communication pages i.e Twitter & Heathrow Airport
• Use of other mediums such as official blogs and live-stream on YT – Real, live & personal interactions
Data Analysis
• Learning more about the customer through data-mining & web analytics – Competitive advantage
• Internalising customer research programs via acquisition of info tech science capabilities: Cheaper
• Truly personalising ad campaigns by really understanding our customers and future opportunities.
Acquisition Conversion Retention strategy success formula: Robust, Flexible & Light
Engaging with customers online is crucial
to any social media strategy. You can’t
afford to get it wrong – seriously.
We tend to stick to 10 golden rules.
We’re serious about success ;)
1. Write back. Always.
2. Social is 24/7 – not a one-time stunt
3. Monetization attempts go up, consumer
experience goes down.
4. Not everything will work. But hey, that’s fine.
5. Embrace negative content about your brand
6. Have that almighty crisis plan.
7. Use ads to accelerate good content & not to
prop up boring stuff.
8. If all you respond to is complaints, that’s all
people will send you.
9. Go mobile.
10. If social media bores you, its because your trying
to get more value than you create.
3. Sustainable customer
satisfaction growth levels
Brand
Presence
• Social media marketing strategy is in line with the physical product experience perception.
• Social media presence allows for establishing a foot-hold in new industries and markets across the world.
• Your fans own your brand. Social media presence allows you to show that you care about them.
Personal
• Personalise information distribution. Via sms, email, facebook etc. Listen to what your customers want.
• Facebook comments allow for a P2P discussion around the brand. Be positive & Embracing towards fans.
• Algorithms based on history of individual user. Make suggestions as good & personal as possible.
Support
• Solve problems your customers are having through dedicated individual response services. Trust is key.
• 24hrs / 365 days support. Don’t just create invisible services that don’t do much. Make them excellent.
• Make response times as quick as possible. Surprise your customers with great services. Consistency is key.
Keep a sustainable growth in satisfaction levels by
measuring success and ensuring consistency at all
times. It’s possible, trust us.
Boosting Satisfaction - Like a Sir
Tweet your customers right:
1. Respond to your customers quickly – solution can come later
2. Communicate using a human, not a corporate voice – be personable
3. Monitor for common themes & trends. Ask for feedback – know what you can
improve
Just like Brave heart, be bold:
Measure your success over & over again:
1. Customer service is a profit centre in your business, not a cost centre
2. Identify exactly what you want to measure. This is what you will want
to improve.
3. Use Q&A at the end of an interaction, to see exactly how the customer
felt about how you handled their query.
1. Don’t be afraid to experiment – try new things & learn from it
2. Knowledge bank section in your website – lower high volume queries
3. Self-help: info-rich sites host P2P discussion forums solve queries
4. Faster. Cheaper. Stronger.
Faster
• Faster product launching rates –You can quickly reduce the time to launch your product.
• Viral marketing potential – its becoming easier to go viral. Attract brand ambassadors as far as you want.
• Mobile technology – Growing penetration rates. Increase the time your customers are spending on you.
• Leverage your brand on existing super platforms and partner up with them – increase your width.
Cheaper
• Ability to eliminate agencies and internalise marketing strategy. Permanent & Consistent cost streamlining.
• Compete with rivals via online Guerrilla marketing strategies. High budgets do not mean better campaigns
• Re-direct traffic to main website organically without artificial tools. No dependence on risky third parties.
Stronger
• Allows you to test you products before launch with lower exposure rates. Increase your success rate.
• Centralize your global internet presence. Strength brand perception through one global social strategy.
• Educating customers is what you want. Forcing customers to read your ads is short-sighted.
Cut costs, eliminate third parties &
increase global exposure quicker.
Your customers will appreciate it.

  • 12. We tend to stick to 10 golden rules. We’re serious about success ;) 1. Write back. Always. 2. Social is 24/7 – not a one-time stunt 3. Monetization attempts go up, consumer experience goes down. 4. Not everything will work. But hey, that’s fine. 5. Embrace negative content about your brand 6. Have that almighty crisis plan. 7. Use ads to accelerate good content & not to prop up boring stuff. 8. If all you respond to is complaints, that’s all people will send you. 9. Go mobile. 10. If social media bores you, its because your trying to get more value than you create.
  • 13. 3. Sustainable customer satisfaction growth levels Brand Presence • Social media marketing strategy is in line with the physical product experience perception. • Social media presence allows for establishing a foot-hold in new industries and markets across the world. • Your fans own your brand.

  • 14. Boosting Satisfaction - Like a Sir Tweet your customers right: 1. Respond to your customers quickly – solution can come later 2. Communicate using a human, not a corporate voice – be personable 3. Monitor for common themes & trends. Ask for feedback – know what you can improve Just like Brave heart, be bold: Measure your success over & over again: 1. Customer service is a profit centre in your business, not a cost centre 2. Identify exactly what you want to measure. This is what you will want to improve. 3. Use Q&A at the end of an interaction, to see exactly how the customer felt about how you handled their query. 1. Don’t be afraid to experiment – try new things & learn from it 2. Knowledge bank section in your website – lower high volume queries 3. Self-help: info-rich sites host P2P discussion forums solve queries

Editor's Notes

  • #8: This is a chance to relax your clients and slow the pace of the presentation a bit. The purpose of this slide is to introduce our company mascot and the framework that has born out of it: FROG-SAAP. This framework helps analyse our clients’ strategies and serves as a checklist for characteristics that have to be merged into every online strategy.So why a frog?Matches the acronym Frog-SaapYou could say something like, ‘You must be wondering why we have pictures of our social frog friend here. We believe that all businesses who are successfully growing through internet exposure, all have one thing in common – they follow golden rules, much like frogs do!’ These Include adopting a flexible, receptive, objective, subtle, agile authentic and patient approach.Quick Tips:Spend some time here. Ask some of the questions of the framework. See what they say; what is the general client sentiment? Is he starting to realise he needs help? Perhaps you can even be bold enough to ask him a few questions that can make him realise that he needs us. This slide is more of a dialogue between both parties. Let your client do the talking and feel acknowledged. Listening is key.This will allow you to get a first impression of what their current status is regarding their social media marketing strategy and presence.
  • #9: What’s next?This slide serves as an introductory slide for the next section of the presentation. This would be Part 2 of the presentation.This slide highlights the four main pillars outlined in the beginning. This is where we’ll start talking about the ‘hows’. Make sure your relating to the client’s industry which in this case is the beverage industry. Don’t worry if you haven’t prepared too much for the industry. We have included a Red Bull case overview for you to talk about and it shouldn’t be too hard.Make sure you don’t talk about how we will solve the problems for them yet. This stage is purely to look and why we believe these four pillars are relevant to our clients and some ideas as to how we could approach the problem. As for the formal process of which services we provide, you can leave that for the final part of the presentation.This section is vital, so take a chill pill and rock it!
