A real-life case about a partnership between a telcom and an agency.Creating an owned media platform at the heart of the social strategy. Moving away from campaign peaks to a constant flow of content and conversation. By @femkedr and @moerman for #smdayBE
5. Changing Social Landscape
Technology shift
• Facebook Edgerank – Don’t build a house on rented land
• Proliferation of channels drive need for a centralised solution
Customer shift
• Needs information & inspiration not sales messages
• Increasing need for dialogue: from care to conversations
Brand shift
• Grown-up challenger brand: from acquisition to retention
• Humanising the brand: from a big company to the people working there

6. Enter snap
In February 2013, we launched
Snap, designed to bring more
elaborated storytelling to our
customers and stakeholders.
We wanted to create an owned
platform that easily plugs into social
channels and could become the
heart of our social strategy.
A move away from campaign
peaks to a constant flow of content
and conversation
