Overall
“The website gives you a really good and interesting picture
of the UK brands positioning”
Corporate responsibility
“Overall they give a nice overview of issues and not too
much of a contradiction to their business interests. Not just a
whitewash of propaganda”
“I have introduced several colleagues to the company
through the website, including those who work with NGOs –
…the site shows how SAB do a lot of great things. On two
separate occasions it has clearly changed someone’s
perception”
News and views
“It’s all SAB people – hardly a debate”
“Why would anyone read a corporate blog that is written in
corporate speak. I don’t. Write it like a blog not a release.”
Social media
“As they hadn’t followed me I didn’t follow their Twitter feed
although I knew that they must have one”
Careers
“I would like to see the option of a customised entry form
which is interactive and useful rather than gimmicky”

Outcomes Considerations
Enabled focus on particular elements of the site for attention
Uncovered unexpected insights and opportunities – offers to write content
Positive interactions with a selection of key users – signed up to social channels
Valuable input into decision to rebuild/refresh web site
Potential for annual benchmarking
Changes to WEBranking methodology a challenge
Focus on website rather than web presence a weakness
