For this reason, more
emphasis should be
placed on this
medium.
7. Competitor Assessment
Competitor Name Social Media Profile Strengths Weaknesses
Kygo FB: kygoofficial Clear emphasis on upcoming
show dates (listed on page’s
main banner). Large amount
of interactive content
(including videos and
photos).
Not enough direct content
from the artist. Mostly
promotional material.
Oliver Heldens Instagram: oliverheldens A lot of content that appears
to be directly from the artists
with a large amount of
interaction.
Not enough emphasis on
upcoming events and new
music.
Nicky Romero Twitter: nickyromero Strong number of interactions
(retweets, quotes, and likes).
Good balance between
promotional content and
artist personal presence.
Large amount of unrelated
material.
Summary:
Overall there seems to
be a good amount of
interaction between
the three selected
account and social
media users. However,
there is a need for
more balance between
sharing promotional
and personal content.

In order to foster positive interaction between the Ansolo fan-base and support
team, we must follow these guidelines:
1. Be knowledgeable of all Ansolo related projects and events.
2. Be supportive of all customer inquiries.
3. Be friendly during all customer interactions.
4. Ensure that all information shared is accurate.
5. Make sure that all content is suitable for all viewer demographics.
14. Critical Response Plan
Scenario: Negative Concert Experience
When a negative social media post is detected regarding a fan’s concert experience, immediately
make note of the user’s personal information and what occurred.
This will allow the Ansolo team to determine a way to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Respond by publicly asking the user to contact the Ansolo social media team (either by e-mail or
private message) in order to resolve the conflict and offer further assistance.
Response must be approved by Matt Doyle.
If Matt Doyle cannot be reached within a 2 hour contact period, use best judgement.
Refer the user to Helen King upon contact.
15. Measurement & Reporting
After plan execution, there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of Instagram
followers and interactions.
Particularly, user “tags” on Instagram posts have increased dramatically – leading to a wider
audience reach.
Large increase in the number of Soundcloud and Vimeo plays from shared content.
Substantial increase in ticket sales for upcoming shows in March and April.
Compared to ticket sales from November 2015 – January 2016.
Twitter has not seen much growth.
More focus on this medium in upcoming months due to the interactivity of the content
shared on this platform.
