2. Conversation (shareable content, earned media)

“Coffee brand Douwe Egberts got into a random conversation with The Dolphin Pub in Hackney, which has a strong and distinctly individual Twitter feed. The two came together and a highly entertaining conversation ensues. I love the way that @DouweEgbertsuk just rolled with it and responded to @The_Dolphin_Pub. (…) I think it’s a good reminder that brands should be open and not closed when it comes to social media and that way they will more likely reap the benefits of any opportunities to engage that come their way.”

OZONE COFFEE: EDUTAINING CONTENT MEETS PREMIUM CONVERSATION MANAGEMENT

•  80:20 rule: Only talking about themselves 20% of the time •  Relevant and ‘edutaining’ content on blog, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram:

•  coffee awards/contest •  supplier stories (Costa Rica, El Salvador and Brazil) •  some candid Instagram shots of Latte art

and their über trendy Taranaki and London cafés •  ‘the odd shot’ of their great staff •  customer experience photos •  articles about who they've sponsored •  articles on blends and origins •  brew methods and ways to get great coffee •  frequent use of humour •  something new on average twice a week

•  They thank customer for tweets and comments, and go the extra mile if a blogger takes the time to do a review

•  They understand content curation, repurposing web content and tailoring it to their two audience groups on Twitter and Facebook.

•  And “they’re loading their site with SEO keywords.”

“Not only are Ozone leveraging their supplier's CSR angle and reassuring their customers that they have quality, but they are taking the time to educate their clients and building the full story of their brand. From expert caring staff and roasting processes through to their sponsorship of rafting and what is an emotional story around their cofounder.”

Ozone’s well rounded loyalty loop that their content is balanced across: •  SEO and social media based attraction •  Nurturing their existing customers

with info and educative pieces. •  And retaining them with new ideas,

community Instagram shots and sharing.

STARBUCKS’ “INSTAGRAM-CENTRIC SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY” Starbucks is almost definitely the brand making the absolute most out of its Instagram-centric social media strategy. Starbucks strives to be seen as a local-friendly, socially conscious coffee shop that happens to have, oh, a few locations, rather than just another large corporate chain. In this particular image, we see bags of beans, for sale in the shops, that subtly boast the Starbucks logo, and a tray of samples of this coffee, conceivably headed for the counter of the tweeter’s local Starbucks location to be handed out to individuals. The coffee is unaltered, and the background is dimmed to black, allowing Starbucks to assert that when it comes to its brand, two things matter: the coffee and the customers’ opinions. http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/32909/The-10-Best-Branded-Companies-on-Instagram.aspx#ixzz2GodHKaWi

“Stumptown relies heavily on visual content; almost every tweet and Facebook post includes a photo, whether it’s from Instagram or not. (…) The most engaging posts on Instagram are those that are most authentic to Stumptown’s historically DIY work ethic, aesthetic, and company spirit, i.e those that have “nothing to do with coffee, but speak volumes about coffee (or Stumptown) at the same time.”

3. Education (advice, useful content)

“For many, drinking coffee is a ritual, and savvy coffee content managers know that capitalizing on this common visceral reaction to the beverage provides a rich source of content.”

“O segundo exemplo é internacional e trouxe a marca e os produtos da Starbucks como uma facilitadora de boas histórias. O café já sugere boas conversas e o compartilhamento delAs, sendo assim, a empresa assumiu as histórias como sendo um bem valioso e ocupou a posição de portadora dele. É o Storytelling tornando-se cada vez mais importante e prometendo ser peça chave nas estratégias de comunicação e marketing ao longo de 2011.”

“Over the last several months, Stumptown has continued filming coffee farmers in their element. The latest in our series of Source Trip Films features Colombian coffee producers and the intense relationship between these growers, the coffee and their communities.”

STARBUCKS PROMOTING RECYCLING AWARENESS ON EARTH DAY street art campaign – branded video – homepage – blog(s) – youtube (channel) - “They set up a street art campaign in the Flat Iron District in New York City, building a tree out of cups of coffee in variegated shades. Each person that put their cup down traded in their paper cup for a reusable mug or tumbler. The promo asks: "If everyone made one small change, could we change the world?" The spot suggests: "One person changing can save trees, together we can save forests."

“It began, as so many things do in life, with a cup of coffee. One day, Japanese artist Tomoko Shintani decided to draw on hers. The result is a series of engaging illustrations that flow from Starbucks coffee cups. "There was no particular reason or idea. I just drew on a cup because it was 'paper,'" Shintani says. The resulting doodle, which integrated the Starbucks cup that helped fuel its creation, begat a new hobby and a whimsical series of images that have captured the attention of Instagram, and the Internet by extension.”

http://blogs.forrester.com/doug_williams/10-10-05-starbucks_tackles_big_product_strategy_issues _using_social_co_creation_contests

“Social co-creation contests are online contests sponsored by a company (and often hosted by a vendor) whereby a question or problem is posed to an audience, with a prize given as an incentive for participation. (…) Starbucks put up the $20,000 prize money, and betacup partner jovoto (a social co-creation contest vendor) launched the contest to its cultivated audience of creatives.  (…) The actual winning entry was dubbed "The Karma Cup," its idea was simple. At the register of each Starbucks store will sit a small chalkboard. Each time a person brings in a reusable cup for their beverage, a box is checked off -- and every 10th beverage is free. (…) This effort shows that product strategy issues big and small can be addressed via co-creation.”

“Costa Coffee launched a Facebook app for their (3m) Coffee Club members. The app gives members direct access to their account from within Facebook. It will also mean unregistered Coffee Club members the chance to register their card within the platform. As part of a promotional drive, 10 million loyalty points will be given away on Facebook. (…) When you have saved up enough you can pay for your Costa order with your points. (…) The app will help members to see what they can use the points for in a platform they are familiar with and will of course give Costa some rather valuable data about their most devoted customers too.” http://wallblog.co.uk/2012/08/28/costa-to-launch-new-facebook-app-to-make-buying-coffee-easier/#ixzz2Gns309W2

“Mobile Marketer recently highlighted a Dunkin Donuts marketing campaign that used Halloween’s popularity to get Twitter and Instagram users involved with the company’s new mobile payment app, while also winning some user-generated content. The company asked customers to decorate coffee cups in Halloween costumes and share the images on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag “dressDD.” The most creative designs received a free $100 mobile gift card. The campaign successfully leverages the brand’s existing popularity, along with social’s power and general consumer interest in mobile payments.”

DUNKIN DONUTS REWARDING (BRANDED) HALLOWEEN CREATIVITY

http://www.digiday.com/brands/brands-try-out-gamification/

Starbucks has a mobile app that rewards users with stars and status levels. It give users incentives to keep playing. Every time customers walk into a Starbucks and use the app to pay for their coffee, they earn a star. Once they get a certain number of stars, they move on to different levels. The green level, for example, entitles users to free refills on brewed coffee or tea. The app has progress bars and incentives throughout to motivate users. Additionally, users can sync their app to their Facebook account, turning this into a social loyalty play, since users can now share their progress with friends.
