• Where have you had a Coke lately?
“It was taken from the peak of the Iztaccihuatl, Mexico's third highest mountain. [At 5,230m... you can guess why was the bottle half-full! :-)]

In the past – We were not building sustainable relationships
Traditional Campaigns start from zero and abandon the audience they’ve amassed upon completion. Campaigns based on earning Sustainable Relationships leverage the existing audience and grow it for future use.

Our “Fans First” Approach: We will be Everywhere Our Consumers are in an Authentic “Member of the Community – Non BIG Brand Way”

Our approach is designed to foster equitable engagement to earn sustainable relationships that are authentic, delightful and
reciprocal.
Being a Fan, Friend or Follower does not mean that they opted in to have advertising blasted at them.
Enabling Fans to Comment, Upload and Consume THEIR own consumer

Our “less about us-more about them” approach is getting noticed
Missed Opportunity... Pepsi. The company makes a disappointing showing on Facebook…has 250,000 fans, a fraction of rival Coke's. The company mostly uses it as a channel for pumping out updates of marketing activities.

this is all great, but…
how do we create compelling content in these online venues that celebrates the spirit of our brand and drives intent?

Finally, Some Quick Lessons Learned…• SMM is a tactic and should always be in support of brand
objectives
• These platforms change frequently and can be very disruptive
• Keep it simple and intuitive – fewer objectives is better and shorten users’ paths at every opportunity
• Silly to start from zero…
• “Viral” shouldn’t BE your strategy – just part of a comprehensive plan
• Clear the Legal hurdles first – this is new for everyone so legitimate questions arise around every corner
• Always work with pros…There is no “sticking your toe in the water”
• Each new Community is an entirely new market and should be treated as such
• Moderation is a must!

What’s Next…
• “Fans First” will continue to be our compass
• Continue building Common Solutions to Amplify our Global & Local campaigns
• More Brands on More Platforms
• We will continue to Test, Learn, Share, SCALE & REPEAT…Again, and Again, and Again
