Social media in Europe
Or rather in Finnish context
Matti Rossi, Aalto School of Business
Enterprise social media
• Starting to gain traction• Digital media companies are willing and able• More traditional companies less so
• Huge interest in formal social media tools– Yammer, SalesForce Chatter
• Facebook, Twitter etc. often sanctioned– E.g. our school policy does not allow me to keep an FB page for
our master’s program
Some research statistics
• 40 % of Finnish companies have a social media strategy• Facebook by far the most popular social media, 60 % of
companies using social media use FB• YouTube second by 50 %, Twitter 30 % and blogging about
20%• Most companies in a testing phase
• Source: Finnish advertisers union http://www.mainostajat.fi/mliitto/index.asp
Example: Finnair
• Small, regional airliner reinventing
itself• “Finnair Runway” Blog: Contributions from Finnair
employees and invited outsiders – Little customer discussion
• Departure 2093 Campaign: Five Visions for Future Air Traffic– Purpose: to convey Finnair values of quality, freshness, and
quality
• Facebook for Service Delivery During Crises– Very useful during the Icelandic ash crisis

Quality Hunters
• Purpose: use socialization agents to signal what quality is in air travel and engage customers in discussions
• Outcomes: • 5300 applicants from 90 countries, much local PR• Over half a million blog visitors during two months• Many active participants were repeat (and from
Finland)• Very few actual ideas for new product development
Viral vs. official
• Many companies have official policies etc. for social media
• Most interesting things happening recently have been viral and usually not sanctioned by companies
– Nestespoil.com is a Greenpeace site that mocks Neste Oil, a Finnish oil refiner
– Neste tried to use Wipo to claim the web site– Huge backlash in social media– See:

And then something completely different
• More than 1000 Angry birds cake videos in YouTube• 21 million FB fans…
