11. why use social
media?

12. social media compliments the brand
- its identity is down-to-earth just like social media should be
- it fits with their original collaborative & grassroots approach to
communication (& even crowdsourcing research)
social media is a great differentiator
- it amplifies their “natural” tone where everybody else uses cheap
entertainment
- very few competitors who are leveraging social media - it’s an
unsaturated space

16. the consumers are saying...
“I was borderline ecstatic... sold several Innocent flavours”
they love *http://piaks.blogspot.com
they’re thankful
they participate by suggesting
“Thank you, Innocent Drinks!
Look what baby bump and I received today: lots of
delicious goodies from the lovely people at Innocent
Drinks.” *www.mummyalarm.blogspot.com
they even beg

17. i looked at 20 posts on facebook and i saw
1 negative
17 positive
* Twitter has a similar positive skew

18. the professionals are saying...
“ No organization has embraced this ethos more than Innocent and when it comes to cultural influence, no-one has quite
captured this “down-to -earth” approach as well as it has. Innocent has also built a highly-successful brand community too.”
*http://www.newbrandtribalism.com
“Twitter activity is successful at extending the
consumer conversation and resolving consumer
queries” *http://wave.wavemetrix.com/
“Smoothie operators: innovation and timing are key to Innocent
success...incredibly innovative from the very beginning.” *http://
www.innovatrs.com
* negative posts on Coca Cola deal where ethos is questioned

19. - the tone and content of the stories they tell is always natural
- people feel engaged at every touchpoint
- they design the content to fit each platform (twitter has shorter, catchier
updates, facebook is more conversational, blog is more in depth)
- they encourage discussion, they give quick replies, and their followers & fans
are satisfied

20. what they can improve
•flickr should be more organized
•their YouTube channel should be more
prominent
- 2nd page of search results on google
- not promoted anywhere
•leverage social media to further promote their
ethical stance (innocent foundation, for
example)
