BEFRIEND: Make your customer your friend
SOLVE: Solve their problems, queries, doubts
SHARE: Share information, valuable content with them
The case of Audi R8:
• In 2011, a young lady named Joanne McCoy tweeted everyday using #WantanR8’.
• Luckily for her, Audi was listening, and responded by showing up at her Washington, D.C.
home with a brand-new sports car for the day
• From there onwards, the company went on to share the love and started giving fans who
tweeted using this hashtag an Audi R8 for a day
• So far, the hash tag has been used over 75,000 times since its inception, but that number
is expected to skyrocket

Dave Carroll’s viral video
• In 2008, Canadian musician Dave Carroll took a United
Airlines flight
•Upon reaching his destination, he discovered that his
$3500 Taylor guitar was severely damaged due to rough
handling
•When he raised his claim to United Airlines, he was met
with indifferent employees and his claim was ultimately
apparently because he hadn’t submitted it ‘in time’
•In protest, Dave Carroll went on to do what he did best:
he made a song about the whole episode and published
it on youtube
•Almost immediately, the video went viral, generating a
lot of negative feedback for United Airlines, from other
disconcerted passengers
•Till date, this video has garnered 2.5 million views and
Dave is planning on a sequel, plus a book

Mayo Clinic: Aggressive on Social Media
5 ways how Mayo Clinic uses social media
Here are 5 ways how Lee Aase, the director of the Center for Social Media at Mayo Clinic uses
social media
Youtube: YouTube is one of a hospital’s most successful outlets in terms of marketing itself to
potential clients. At Mayo, we utilize this for patients to highlight our areas of expertise and focus.
Twitter: For Mayo, word of mouth has been the best way to get our name out there for the past
100 years, but Twitter has taken that model to the next level
Facebook: On Facebook, we can build a community of former patients, current patients and
future patients. Facebook acts as a forum for patients to interact with the hospital and with one
another, but Facebook lets its community go into more depth
Blogs: Blogs are a great way to publish timely news. Blogs also offer the added benefit of tending
to fare well in search engine optimization
Cross promotion: We utilise as many social media outlets as possible and emphasise on cross
promotion, for example, taking YouTube clips and posting them on the hospital’s Facebook wall or
Twitter feed. If done properly, health organizations will see an increase in patient volumes.
