This document provides an analysis of Google's advertising campaign for its Chrome browser from 2011-2012. It discusses the history of Google, the state of the browser market dominated by Chrome, and the "Dear Sophie" advertising video that showcased Google's products. The video was successful due to its engaging storytelling, demonstration of Google's product range, and portrayal of a personal side of Google. Going forward, opportunities exist in further social networking integration and product tie-ins, but competition from Apple and Microsoft poses threats.

Good Morning, I’m Lily Greenwood and in my presentation today I would like to tell you about my chosen company Google. \nI have selected to look at Google because i regularly engage with the products on a daily basis and truly believe that Google products help me organise both my work and private life. I think they are an innovative company because of their ability to continually create new services, but not only that but learn from their mistakes and continually improve the consumer experience. \nI have looked at a selection of Google products and services and how they promote them.\nLike you can see from the image on the screen I’m looking at Youtube (a video sharing website), Google Documents (a free web based office suite), Gmail (a free email service by Google), Picasa (a piece of software that is also available online for imagine viewing and sharing), Google Maps (web-mapping technology based online) and Google Calendar (a free time management web application). \nTo analyse the products I have looked at the campaign called ‘the web is what you make of it’. This was a series of 11 adverts that began in May 2011 and ran till November 2011. The adverts were shown on both TV and also uploaded to a YouTube channel. \n\n
In todays presentation Im going to have brief look at the history of Google, shortly followed by an analysis of market for Google Chrome. \nI will then tell you about the 'web is what you make of it' campaign, and show you the 'Dear Sophie' advert\nFollowing this I'll look at why the campaign worked and also a SWOT analysis.\nI will also show you how social sites helped in the success of the campaign.\nFinally is my opinion on what is to come next for Google.\n\n
Google was born in 1997, the domain address of www.google.com was registered.\nBy 2000 Google had become the largest search engine with more than 1 billion items available to search\nFour years later Gmail was launched by invite only, it is now one of the most successful free email clients available\nGoogle bought YouTube for $1.65 billion dollars\nIn 2008 chrome was launched as well as Google Earth and a range of other products.\nNow in 2012 Google is a strong market leader in terms of its web browser and other products. \n\n
Google Chrome is a root to market for Google. The browser is a root to market to sell other services within the brand.\nThe strategic aim of Google is to create brand that owns the entire customer experience.\nThey want to create a platform that incorporates all the services and brands. \nHere is a view of the top 5 browsers from March 2011-2012 worldwide. (Statcounter)\n\nAlthough Google itself is a very successful search engine with a range of products associated to it, Google Chrome has not yet taken over the market share from competition such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. \n\nThe most common reason for this is because Internet Explorer has been around for 17 years. It is used in most offices and windows computers. Firefox on the other hand has maintained its market share due to being a free open source platform, firefox was the first browser to really allow the novice users to personalise their web browsing experience. \n\nChrome currently has nearly a quarter of the market share proving its popularity with internet users. Many people use the platform on home computers as a general web browser for personal use. The browser allows for personalisation and increased efficiency when surfing the web. \n\nFirefox released in 2004, Chrome in 2008 yet Chrome has a very similar market share to its competitor.\n\nHowever on Sunday 18th March 2012 for one day Google beats Internet Explorer to become world's top browser for first time ever, huge milestone for the company. Result of a marketing strategy that redefined Google through a $70 million add campaign.\nhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2118619/Google-Chrome-beats-Internet-Explorer-worlds-browser--just-day.html\n\n\n\n\n\n

Also that people can share these videos with others. \n\nDear Sophie: The advert objectives will have probably been to engage with the viewer on an emotional basis using the range of Google products. The advert shows how tools such as Youtube and Picasa embedded into Gmail can help in sharing and capturing memories. The advert is emotional because shows a child going through stages of childhood, something most people can relate to. \nI’ve selected Dear Sophie as the advert to show you because it encompasses the potential of Google from a range of different products and really tells a story to the consumer. \n\n\n

Google uses the technique of storytelling to engage with the viewer and tell a compelling story that most people will be able to relate to in some way. From the idea of becoming famous to the world coming together to fight a cause. Google will have decided to try and show as many products as possible yet keep the viewer interested, a story is able to do this. \n\nThe advert unlike other videos that Google has released aims to show the range of different google products that are available, such as the Chrome web store, Google Maps, Gmail and Google apps. It’s done very cleverly by Google, they integrate each product into a seamless idea. The products are able to create digital history. \n\nMultinational companies such as Google, Apple and Microsoft have a strong corporate identity and brand image. Google is seen to be a search engine giant, they have grown from strength to strength. It’s easy for consumers to become disengaged with Google brand, seeing it as just another website or tool to assist them in their every day to day life. \nWithin the past five years there have been changes in the way PR works, companies are having to tailor their policies in order to represent a culture and show consumer views. Breaking down the corporate barrier helps in promoting trust and a strong relationship with the consumer. This is important in the case of Google because of the reputation it has of breaking consumer trust and gathering personal data. \n\nThrough the video’s Google has shown to their audience that web tools that we all probably use on a regular basis can be used in new ways. The platforms may be the same but the possibilities of how the web can build a lifestyle, capture memories and share ideas is endless. \n\nThe adverts also remind us how traditional marketing format such as TV advertising can still be as effective. It’s not common for web companies to use TV adverts, so its interesting to see a web based site take this marketing approach. It worked because the blended approach reaches a wider audience. \n\nAlthough it seems that digital is taking over its not always the case. Through using the adverts and realising them in America during prime time spots they were able to reach a much wider audience then before. However the adverts were also released on Youtube, allowing viewers to interact with the videos such as sharing and liking. \n

Strengths: Products and services, not just consumer but also business. Chrome enhances these products. The adverts broke down the corporate barrier. Using traditional and digital marketing. \n\nA small technically about one of the adverts is that the ‘Dear Sophie’ concept isn’t actually possible. Users can’t create an email for a child due to Google terms and conditions of the minimum age of 13 for new accounts. This is slightly misleading and may affect the viewers opinion of how realistic the adverts are. \n\n\nSocial networks such as their own Google+ and others such as Twitter and Fb like mentioned earlier are platforms that Google can use to adverts their products and services on\nGoogle has the opportunity to use its current products and services and create a strong brand that can improve the customer experience. \n\nMicrosoft, IE\nApple, popularity \n\n\n\n
The bright side of the social web. We’re putting our generation down in rich, living history and connecting to new ways every day. This is the start of an era that have memories and stories saved on the internet for years. \n\nApple and Microsoft are strong competition, who will hold the largest market share in the coming years? \n\nJust this week Google have released a new service called ‘Google Drive’. Similar to Apple’s iCloud and Microsoft SkyDrive. Integrates with Google Docs and shares similarities to Dropbox. Shows that Google are innovating and continually brining out new products that work with Chrome and reinforces their campaign concept of ‘the web is what you make of it’. \n\nMy uni moved on..integrate Chrome...docs etc\n\n
