« Like » is the new search
Nowadays, what matters:
To be shared
To be relayed
To be embededd
By individuals within their social networks
Until now, what mattered:
To be found
To be deemed relevant

Social media = new demands and habits
To relate
To communicate
To create
To comment
To recommend
To share
To build communities
And brands are part of these new habits: people are talking about brands and want to engage in conversation with them

But how do you create engagement?
Understand target communities:
Where they exist in social media
What do they care about
How do they behave
Think about how to engage with them:
Find topics to approach them
Find ways of approaching them
Think about an engagement strategy…

Find ways to engage with your audience

Think about engaging ideas: HP case study
How to generate word of mouth about the HP ePrint technology

The HP PhotosmartPremium: a wifi printer
The ePrinttechnology: printfromanywhere by sending an email to your printer
Objective: generate new word of mouth about the HP Photosmart Printer and the ePrint technology within the family communities
Encourage influencers to try the new printer and experiment the ePrint technology
THEBRIEF

Organise a treasure hunt amongst the bloggers “digital mums” by providing them with a HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One printer andsending them clues using the ePrint technology so they can experiment the technology first hand
THE IDEA

We sent a letter of the alphabet to each of the participating blogger’s printer, asking them to publish the letter on their blog, so they could guess, reading each other’s blog the mystery word… I.M.P.R.I.M.A.N.T.E

The bloggers who found the mystery word are then invited to find out which sentence is hidden in a « picture word game » sent to their printer…
The answer was A-Lys-seau-pays-dés-mer-v-yeuxsoit Alice au Pays des Merveilles

The gamescarried on, and at the end, once the bloggers have all the clues, theywere able to fill in a crosswordthatindicated to themthe URL of a hidden page. This page revealed the email address of a printer. The first blogger to send us via ePrint a message wins the trip.
