What's really strong with skittles, is their coherence and their relations with their consumers.

They are focus to identify and generate new brand's ambassadors.

They develop an atmosphere of complicity with their fans.

The results is that their are hugely present on platform (pinterest/tumblr) without being really on it.

4 kind of content : 1° Put a human face on your company, show to the user the team.2° Humour and complicity3° Share the ambiance, what P.Q. is about4° Factual news

10° OBSERVATIONS

TONE ,TACTIC, GOALS BY PLATFORM :

- Relay of other platforms- Create different twitter accounts1° Once about your passion 2° Once about factual fact (jobs)3° Once about UGC (consumers innovation/participation)

Page 55: Companies That Mastered Social Media's Branding ...

10° OBSERVATIONS

TONE ,TACTIC, GOALS BY PLATFORM :

- You can use Pinterest as a place of your passion or as a place of sales promotion, but choose one of these, don't mix both of these categories.- Use a female approach/tone (70-80% of pinterest'population are woman)

- You can Use Tumblr to devellop your brand story, even to build a real company story, that's the channel to expand your brand past, the development of your brand DNA and it's evolution 

Page 56: Companies That Mastered Social Media's Branding ...

10° OBSERVATIONS

TONE ,TACTIC, ISSUE BY PLATFORM :

- Use foursquare to locate (check-in) your place.

- Use Instagram to illustrate your new recipes/your products ; share these pics on Twitter/Facebook- Use Instagram as a centralization place of UGC

- Use a youtube channel to show the background of your place, as a transparency tool

Page 57: Companies That Mastered Social Media's Branding ...

10° OBSERVATIONS

TONE ,TACTIC, ISSUE BY PLATFORM :

Use google + as a complementary platform of facebook and twitter.Not everybody is on facebook and twitter, but almost everybody has an email account, and the most used one, is g-mail.

- Use Sprout social, as a unique platform, where you can manage all the other platforms in one time. (or wildfire) Without that kind of platform, a social media strategy can be inefective, and time-consuming.- It's an « all in once » plateform

Page 58: Companies That Mastered Social Media's Branding ...

11° Recommendations

1° Without a big idea, social tools are not efficient.

2° Create a story, a great brand DNA, which respond to consumer's need, then talk about this story through the different platforms, and adapt it to these.

3° Don't be afraid to post what your're believe in, but transfom it, into a way of life.

4° Build a coherence between these platforms : Tumblr, Pinterest, Google +, Foursquare, Flickr, ... and connected them to your website, Facebook and Twitter.

5° On facebook, you can use the pages to post the latest information about your company, like which jobs are available within the country (people's interest , that forms a great channel of recruitment).

6° Share daily, fresh and relevant content.

Page 59: Companies That Mastered Social Media's Branding ...

11° Recommendations

7° You can use different twitter accounts :

- Official/consumer's mind/jobs - A twitter account by country

8° You can use Pinterest as a place of your passion or as a place of sales promotion, but choose one of these, don't mix both of these categories.

9° Use Instagram/flickr as a echo of consumer's production.

10° Use foursquare, it is particularly relevant, to locate (check-in) your place.

11° Your objectif online should be focused to create UGC (user generated content) and Brand ambassadors : develop a user story « votre pain quotidien » .

12° Be focus on conversational marketing.
