@Instagram -ing with #Kuwait
• Kuwaiti officials worrying about how to bring
down the gulf state’s unemployment rate,
estimated at 3% has started looking to
Instagram
• But Instagram provides a free storefront
(check out Taobao in China) modeled after
Ebay
• Entrepreneurs can use Instagram to take
pictures and find customers

Prices for sheep
reached a peak of 150
Kuwaiti dinar ($525)
per head
Kuwait is a net
importer of sheep.
The country obtains
sheep from Australia,
Saudi Arabia, and the
United Arab Emirates.

What Does This Accomplish?
To be a social media expert, analyze the
previous campaign examples by using….
Social Media’s Core Functions:
Monitor, Respond, Amplify, Lead
Twitter – The Other MicroBlog
• “Users and governments
embraced twitter to
CONNECT  individuals and
communities of users”
• Think Seth Godin’s TRIBES
example: “Great leaders
create movements by
empowering the tribe to
communicate. They est. the
foundation to connect as
opposed to commanding
people to follow them.”
Sources: Culture of Connectivity, 2012 & Seth Godin’s Tribes
Twitter Users
• First adopted “older” users
• Personal and professional levels
• Newspapers and journalists use Twitter to break stories
• Rising citizen journalism
– Hudson River Plane Crash: Twitter users broke 15 mins.
before the mainstream
Twitter for Self Promotion
• Most celebrities employ
PR staff to manage
Twitter accounts 
number of followers = a
higher level of influencer
status, social capital, i.e.
power.
• Actor Ashton Kutcher
became the 1st celebrity
to break 1 million
followers in 2009 (now
has 15+ million followers
The Evolution of Twitter
• Now Kutcher suggests: “When I first got on, it felt like the
democratization of media. Now it just feels like
media…The bigger vision for Twitter when Jack [Dorsey]
created it was to empower communication to happen as
things were taking place…Now it's just a bunch of
companies and people constantly pitching.”
Take Away & Think: Where is the line for companies to use
Twitter & Instagram alongside personal users?
How do you use personal social media platforms and not
“annoy” and loose potential customers?
