Further research to
understand why countries

Adoption of alternative tools
and outsourcing may be a
reason.

ANECDOTAL COUNTRY FEEDBACK
ADVANCED: I started using it right away, as I made today's
Facebook post through it. Analytics are awesome and they
will surely come in help, and the listening tool looks very
interesting.
INTERMEDIATE: Yes, we most certainly will use the tool,
especially the listening & analytics features. We would
consider using the publishing feature once our social media
activities for Nikon expand on more SM-channels.
BEGINNER: Analytics becomes more and more important to
help us work smarter. WE are just trying to get a grip on what
is possible.

CHALLENGES
• The duration, issues and the run up to the project has caused some
frustration with the end users.
• In the meantime Core Market countries set up their own Social Media
Dashboard (paid & free).
• Taken into account the different situations and social media level per
country. Assessment is needed per office/country.
• No requirement for countries to adopt the SRM tool.
• Social Media activities are outsourced to agencies. No internal owners.
Management support needed to ensure universal system adoption – like Outlook

Editor's Notes
In our flat world, we need to engage as one company throughout the world. On the other hand we need to be relevant to our local customers, and as a business driving more profit. In order to make this a success, Nikon Europe had to professionalize their marketing and communication.
Some practical results: An Act global - Think local strategy, in which Nikon monitors product launches realtime, and keep an eye on their competitors.
The customer decision journey has evolved faster than most organisations have been able to keep up with, making the traditional, linear customer journey funnel model irrelevant.
Now, there are multiple factors that come into play to affect customer behaviour and content engagement
Build stronger relationships with N users
105 users 38 teams 70 social properties
because it depends on current versus new situation and maturity level of the social media experience

Would you like your employees to be brand ambassadors on social media?
Do your employees feel confident sharing on social media about Nikon?
Listening to our consumers and target audience to outsource ideas for improving our business and the product.
Social data can give much more information about customers, products and brands than traditional market research and focus groups.
