13. FLOODED – NOT WORTH DOING
SPACE – OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE
GROUNDED – MAINSTREAM BUT CAN GROW A
PRESENCE
BLUE SKY – THE NEXT BIG THING
Scale of
Opportunity
e.g. use of Vine or Instagram
videos for online promotion
campaigns to support existing
photography.
e.g. Facebook could be used to
promote Remarkable customer
stories.
e.g. Starbucks ‘owns’
Foursquare so developing a
specific campaign for this
channel would need careful
consideration.
e.g. Flipboard is growing in
popularity and may be worth
reviewing as a potential
‘Owned’ platform for
‘Enlightened’ communications
.
