Social Media Strategies - Argentina by Charlene Li

Editor's Notes

• #21: MUST INCLUDE
• #34: We don’t own all of this data. We want to work with others. Including brand monitoring. You have to be holistic in your customer understanding

• #48: http://www.facebook.com/PanteneArgentina?sk=wallPantene Argentina facilitates widespread engagement on the Facebook page through a mix of providing usable interactive content (photos, video, questions), but perhaps more importantly, responding to fan questions/comments in timely manner on an individualized basis.The screen shot shown is a standard mix of content that appears throughout the page. It is broken down by some product announcement, a poll seeking some information from their customers, and then some product usage questions and individual connection with a user. Pantene isn’t afraid to address fans by name and be swift in communication.#dialog#support#facebook#cosmetics#argentina
• #49: http://www.digitalbuzzblog.com/ford-fiesta-twitter-pre-launch-case-study/Ford launches a Fiesta campaign in Argentina. They gave the most followed Twitter user at the time a fiesta, 5 days of shooting mini interviews with local celebrities. The individual reach was 250,000 Argentinians on Twitter – at the time half of the country’s entire Twitter population. The challenge was stated as “one car, a low budget and an entire country to notify.” Twitter was the solution. The agency quotes in the video that “sales have exceeded expectations”, but don’t offer any metrics.Argentinian Twitter users could track the mobile campaign, interact with the local celebrities and – and visit the Fiesta on site as it visited different dealerships. Here is a video from the agency who launched the program explaining the campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-NOqWQPl0o. Here is the influencer: http://twitter.com/#!/nachobottinelli. Could not track down screen shots from interactions as this was 2 years ago.

• #53: http://www.socialtext.com/customers/casestudy_iss.phpUsing workspaces inside Socialtext, employees were encouraged to share key documentation around processes, policies, and customer issues. As people update critical business content, they share their work over Socialtext Signals, a secure enterprise microblogging application. Signals has the same look and feel as Facebook's News Feed. After people share a message, they can have a threaded conversation with their colleagues around that piece of content. More significantly, everyone sees this open Question & Answer. So if someone in a different ISS Mexico office had the same question about the paint, they wouldn't have to burden the warehouse with extraneous e-mail communication, answering the same thing over and over. Signals also allows for more fine-tuned information sharing. So in addition to sharing with the entire company, ISS Mexico's social intranet has groups such as IT, Facilities, Executives, Sales and Marketing. They can share a Signal and corresponding with one group, or all of them.#community#dialog#support#socialtext#intranet#mexico#LATAM

Web users had to create a short video showing or explaining why they prefer to pay by credit card rather than cash. Visa developed a platform that united all UGC videos for people to then vote on their favorite. Each week they highlighted the video that had received the most votes and the grand prize winner won a trip for two to South Africa with tickets to the World Cup (Visa was a partner for the event). The social campaign, carried out in Brazil and Colombia, as well, was deemed a success and allowed Visa to gain clients in each of these markets: • 355 fans for the Facebook page « Yopago con Visa débito»• 64 video entries• 28,724 votes• 5,742 votes for the winning video • +19% increase in card payments in Mexico between April and June 201#video#dialog#advocate#campaign#mexico#LATAM
• #63: http://twitter.com/#!/TELMEXSolucionaTelmex, a Mexican telecommunication GIANT (they own 90% of the telephone lines in Mexico and monopolize the ISP and IPTV markets as well), provides support for customers on Twitter. If they can’t answer a customer’s questions, they either offer them links/phone numbers to contact them or ask for their number and will call them directly. Based on the Tweets I translated, they seem very friendly and professional here.#twitter#support#mexico#LATAM
• #66: http://thesocialcustomer.com/margotheiligman/33797/latin-america-s-movistar-fields-social-media-agents-globetrotting-socialcrm-inFrom the blog post above: “Movistar Argentina
A SocialCRM example from the region is Moviestar Argentina, an Argentine telecom service provider. According to Hoyos, “Movistar allows customers to cancel a mobile account via Twitter @MovistarArg.“Movistar is able to accomplish this due to the fact that its community managers facilitate conversations. When they need to manage a social media transaction, they have specific integrated processes within their own call center to manage these [social media] transactions. Movistar has its own Social Media Agents to do this. I’ve seen firsthand many Argentine call centers looking for social media solutions that can help manage conversations within that Call Center. Customer service-related issues are the primary drivers of seeking these solutions.Moviestar Argentina’s Twitter handle appears to be purely customer service focused. Every single Tweet is an @ reply to a customer. These replies are tagged with initials (the social media agent) and they are all dealing with specific issues in service. This ‘open’ customer service is not prevalent in many companies or markets. The engagement on the individual continues on the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/comunidadmovistarargentina?sk=wall – Movistar also deals with service problems on the Facebook page, but not to the degree that they’ve set Twitter as.
• #67: http://twitter.com/#!/silva_marinaQuick background: Marina Silva was a Brazilian presidential candidate. Her appeal and reach on Twitter is massive, upwards of 500,000 followers, and sends out Tweets on a daily basis on policy and news, events, and other politically focused content.Support example: This example really takes ‘every vote counts’ to the next level. Essentially, Marina is listing a political roundtable discussion happening and urging participation. Ana, the other person in this conversation is just a native Brazilian with barely any twitter following. She asks Marina when the event is taking place, and without hesitating, Marina provides an answer and additional details. On the following slides Ana will thank Marina for her help and then go on to proclaim something like God Bless!!! (as per google translate)#support#dialog#gov#brazil

• #79: Starbucks has a site where people can make suggestions on how they should improve. The key difference is that the suggestions are public, and people can vote for their favorite suggestions. Here’s an example of automatic ordering. Note that there is a status update here “Under Review”.http://mystarbucksidea.force.com/<tags>#foodbev<region><country>#community#innovate<market><research area>#charlene
• #82: I think the frame stopped here in part 1 of the YouTube series is a powerful message. “Fiat stopped to listen.” It’s step 1 in the objectives (learn) and one that permeates through every aspect of the framework. Fiat set out (with help from the agency AgenciaClick Isobar) in unprecedented fashion to launch the first ever crowdsourced car. Fiat built a forum at http://www.fiatmio.cc/ - really a small social network – that created a workspace for exchange of dialog between Fiat drivers and car designers. Drivers posed and answered questions about features and functions they’d like to see. They told Fiat EXACTLY what they wanted to see via social media. This is the ultimate engagement, and exercise of trust between brand and consumer.More info: http://adage.com/article/global-news/top-social-media-campaigns-brazil-china-hungary/227440/#auto#b2c#innovate#learn#youtube
• #83: As you can see from the graphic above, Mio has generated well over 2 million visits to the social forum, almost 45k comments, and nearly 11,000 ideas submitted to the program. Truly an innovative approach at product development.
• #85: http://www.altamirano.org/startups-2/inside-south-americas-most-innovative-startups/From the article: “Food Extra is a social network to find out where food comes from, created in Argentina. This social network was built to connect food consumers and food producers. Food Extra allows each part of the food chain to interact with each other building trade relationships. On the other hand, Food Extra gives consumers information on how food is processed, as well as where the food comes from.The central concept of Food Extra is food traceability. Food Extra allows its users to get info about the products they consume: data about the company which has processed the product as well as the people involved in production. In addition, users can read, write and share reviews and comments. Once the mobile app launches, a user could conceivably scan an object at the store and receive meta-data populated by information on Food Extra (which is community sourced) about that product.***the appears to be in ‘invite only’ mode still. Although, they’ve left Argentina for the silicon valley. Also, the blog link provides information on a handful of other South American web startups.
