Examples

This Week’s Qantas Disaster.....

Not HR specific, but a classic example of social media

#FAIL


Flights that leave on schedule because Management

doesn’t arbitrarily shut down the airline #QantasLuxury

Getting from A to B without the plane being grounded or

an engine catching fire #Qantasluxury

RT @kiwi_kali: #qantasluxury Somewhere in Qantas HQ a

middle aged manager is yelling at a Gen Y social media

"expert" to make it stop / LOL


Qantas PR abandons #qantasluxury and starts limmerick

contest instead,'There once was an airline called Qant ...'

(bugger, ran out of space)

How bout Qantas gets back to flying planes and stops

trying to hang out with the cool kids on

Twitter #Qantasluxury

Trending Australia-wide by mid morning.....


RT @qldred: I think Alan Joyce might be unemployed soon

#Qantasluxury

Yeah, no, sorry. I still don't buy the story that the

#QantasLuxury debacle was somehow planned for by

Qantas. They're just not that clever.

Trending globally by early afternoon.....

This Week’s Qantas Disaster..... The Lessons

• Listen first.

• Get involved only once you know your customers.

• Timing is critical.

• Forget participation for the sake of it. Might not be right for

your business.

• Don’t outsource your business sentiment.

• Be prepared for negativity. You can’t control the #hashtag.

• Offer something of value (Qantas prize was lame).

• Think globally (the web isn’t local).
