Today we take a look at a case study of how a brand is using social networking. I talk with Pettrina Keogh who is the Managing Director of Gurgle. This is a site aimed at young mothers and is a fantastic example of how a brand can use social networking to create brand engagement. We talk about
- Why use social networking to build a brand
- Is the site to connect readers to readers or brand to readers?
- How the site is seen as a hub of information rather than a website
- How you attract people to the community
- Why is social networking so important in brand engagement
- Are there different strategies for different social media tools?
- How to protect yourself legally on giving advice on a social networking site
- The importance of measurement and tips on how to measure the success of social networking
- How to choose keywords to attract consumers
- How consumers are becoming more "intelligent" about social media
- How they provide tools for their consumers to share between themselves
