For years, we’d been talking to our audience
the way we wanted to talk to them, about the
things we wanted to talk about.

We needed to find a way to tell our corporate
story that would be of value to mums
Coca-Cola’s solution

listening)

How mum bloggers want
to work with brands
Making the most of mum bloggers (Mumsnet Mumstock Conference 2014) - Coca-Cola / Zone / Tara Cain
The right approach
We build
relationships
Mum bloggers want the personal touch
30% of the UK’s
leading mummy bloggers
say marketers still need
to understand how
to work better
with them
Only 2% say
marketers are
doing great
56% say
marketers pitch
ideas that are
completely irrelevant
to them
26% say marketers’
main mistake is
suggesting an idea to
them – and then to all
the other mummy
bloggers out there
On average, mummy
bloggers receive approximately
90 generic/blanket emails from
marketers a month – but they’ll
only go on to work with 8% of
these. That’s over 80 emails
sent out that go straight into
the blogger’s trash
In contrast, bloggers
say they’ll go on to work
with 52% of marketers who
take the time to personalise
emails and send relevant
content opportunities
Top three mistakes made by marketers,
according to mum bloggers
Expecting
bloggers to
work for free
(88%)
1
Never getting
back to the blogger
after their initial
reply
(47%)
2
Expecting a review
of a product which
the blogger hasn’t
tried or tested
(40%)
3
Six ways to win with mum bloggers
1. Do your research
2. Don’t rely on some else’s list of bloggers
3. Be genuine and to the point in your approach
4. Make it easy
5. Get creative
6. Share the content they produce for you
