Suprise!People vent on social media
But it gets worse...
Case Study #2: Zappos
Passionate Start-up.
Which does get social media.
Take a passionate CEO.
“The primary purpose of the blogs and twitter is so that outsiders can get a glimpse into our company culture. We don’t really think of them as marketing channels so much as ways to develop a more personal connection with people, whether they are other employees or our customers.”- Zappos.com
Tips#1: Live the brand!
#2: Create a personality for your company

#5: Monitor what people say about your brand on different platforms and take action!
Tips#6: Don’t censor or remove comments/links/videos as it draws even more attention to them
