has changed. Social Media has created new and exciting
ways for brands to engage with consumers and build fans.

Examples
● Super Bowl Command Center
More than 20 people manned the center for 15 hours per day.
Researchers from nearby Ball State University's Center for Media Design
will conduct a study of the command center, analyzing its strengths and
weaknesses. Michael Holmes, director of the center's Insight & Research
Unit, wrote in an email that the command center is an example of the "the
ubiquity of social media and the absolute necessity for companies,
organizations and communities to use these tools to improve their relations
with their customer, audiences and citizens."

Examples
● PepsiCo ● PepsiCo has built a Mission Control center for its Gatorade brand,
which sole purpose is to analyze and drive conversations about the
hydrating beverage on every social platform that matters.
● Bough [PepsiCo’s head of digital] explains how the Mission
Control center separates valuable feedback from the chatter, how
educating a targeted audience drives sales, and how all marketing
jobs will eventually become social media jobs.
