Case Study/ PRO BTP

The GoalTake control of its online reputationIn 2012, PRO BTP realized its members were turning to social networks frequently to discuss their services.

Wanting to ensure it was close to their members, the organization launched its own social accounts. Before long it transpired that just being present on these platforms was not enough — PRO BTP wanted to measure the impact it was having, as well as gain a better understanding of the conversation about it, so it could intelligently adapt its communication. After making use of reports produced by agencies, the group decided it needed to be more independent in order to make the most of social data.

PRO BTP needed a monitoring platform that would be able to scan through millions of sources to:

• automatically monitor relevant mentions on social media

• analyse, segment and map all mentions

• manage their online reputation by engaging directly with their clients

With this in mind, PRO BTP discovered Brandwatch Analytics. “Brandwatch was the most intuitive tool we came across. The support provided by our dedicated account manager was invaluable in helping us set things up.” — Virginie Driot, Editorial Manager

The Challenge Provide fast, personalized responsesPRO BTP’s editorial team started using Brandwatch Analytics to gather and analyze social conversations about the brand on a daily basis.

The team is now able to identify which mentions are comments about the company in general, or questions about a component of the company-wide range of services. They can route these to the right teams, and directly answer each of these enquiries.

“We wanted to interact with each individual by providing bespoke and relevant information to help assist our members. Handling this much data without a social media monitoring platform would be a slow, tedious and potentially impossible task.” — Virginie Driot, Editorial Manager

The Solution Bespoke support across the whole customer journeyThe editorial team made significant use of the Alerts functionality in Brandwatch Analytics.

Every time PRO BTP is mentioned, directly or indirectly, in an online conversation, the team is alerted by email allowing them to respond directly to members as soon as possible — ideally within the hour.

“Our system allows quick and personalized answers, thanks to an internal data validation process. We transfer the case to the relevant department when required so they can get directly in touch with the customer. This helps improve our online reputation and creates a dynamic and close relationship with our members.”— Virginie Driot, Editorial Manager

Through the Alerts system, the team picked up on a negative conversation about one of the brand’s holiday resorts on Le Guidedu Routard, a very popular French travel website.

“One of our members was complaining about his stay on the travel guide’s forums. We managed to deal with this negative feedback in a few hours by speaking with him directly. We then arranged to meet him in a branch. By quickly addressing this customer’s feelings and working directly with him, we turned him from an unhappy customer to one of our most vocal brand ambassadors.”— Virginie Driot, Editorial Manager

Granular topic analysisThe digital team do far more than just responding to questions onsocial media.

Using the Categories and Rules features in Brandwatch Analytics, PRO BTP can easily categorize mentions into the different sections of their services allowing them to get accurate information about each one of their products.

PRO BTP can compare the share of voice for every different service of the company, understanding which topics or services are being talked about the most, by who and why.

With that information, the company can identify which part of their activity needs more attention, information or promotion.

Quickly sharing data across the organizationSocial media provide a huge amount of information and is a good indicator about the current status of the market.

Insight from social data is valuable in places far beyond the editorial team. Different departments within the organization also make use of the metrics and reporting available in Brandwatch.

According to the relevant business needs, the editorial team can create an account for any staff member, enabling them to consult real-time dashboards set up by the editorial team.

“We aim to improve our ranking on search engines by utilising keywords used by our members, and adapting our strategy accordingly.”Virginie Driot, Editorial Manager

Monitoring the landscapePRO BTP operates within an extremely competitive industry.

To stay ahead of the competition, the group uses Brandwatch to compare the share of voice for each of the companies operating in their market, but also compares page type conversation to uncover which websites its competitors are mentioned most frequently on.

Benchmarking against a much-talked about competitor helps PRO BTP enhance its own online presence, and gives it a better understanding of the current market and its landscape.

Another important part of social listening is to identify the most influential media outlets and members of the community for each service. The team is then able to utilize this knowledge to improve its visibility by being active where it matters, and growing a network of influencers.

Adapting communication to the audienceCommunity managers pay special attention not only to what is said but how it is said.

The team dissects the tone and vocabulary used on social media to adapt its own communication in a way that resonates most strongly with its audience.

By keeping track of trends, topics and naturally-occurring themes in the organic conversation, the brand can develop targeted, relevant marketing content.

This tailor-made, hyper-relevant approach to communication positions PRO BTP as an expert among the community it is aiming to target.

Virginie Driot and her team are not stopping there. They’re planning to use the insights gained from Brandwatch to progress in other areas, including SEO.
