- Jim – minimal social advertising budget – Dodge made a strategic decision not to spend a lot. Very different approach, especially given that the auto industry is traditionally very big into ad spend.
- So let’s start with owned media assets first… Dodge has a significant following on all of it’s social channels
- Big presence on Facebook – Approach – heavy focus on Dodge page - Dodge doesn’t have a lot of different pages and we think we’re different from other brands in that way. But there is a challenger page – engagement here is great.
- Our Twitter has a healthy following. Dodge uses Twitter to support its other assets
- Good for news – flexible platform. Good for in-depth articles
- YouTube
- Big following on Google+, but like most brands Dodge doesn’t have a huge following here, but we feel it is important for other reasons, like Search.
- Our content mixes in the new face of Dodge products…
- … But also focuses on content series like “Throwback Thursday” and “Torque Tuesday” to embrace Dodge’s heritage…
- ..and allows for users to share their own love and vision of Dodge through UGC in series like Mod Monday.
- We insert ourselves in trending hashtags but we always stay true to our brand.
- There was no audience for the Dodge Dart – the millennial audience had never heard of Dodge Dart and this program was a fantastic way to change that.
- We went to DeviantArt to reach x community. We went to transworld to reach y audience, etc…
- 19,000 hours on deviantART with 4,000 pieces of artwork submitted – we don’t know the extent to which the artists shared these things. One guy spent his entire week of vacation designing a piece.
- Transworld designers designed their own skateboardsWinning Free Clothing Shirt was given away/sold on the Vans Warped Tour
- Over 500 ReverbNation users submitted music and users tallied 90,500 votes and 34,600 shares
- Phase 1:•Users visited blog.dodge.com/drive-the-redline-dodge and filled out a registration form with a 1,000 character essay and corresponding photo that explained why they are the ideal Dodge brand advocate—entrants had the opportunity to opt-in to brand email correspondence. As soon as someone entered, they had a seven day voting period window for their respective entry.
- Phase 2:•Five finalist were chosen to fly to the New York International Auto Show to be interviewed by members of the Dodge brand team and record a walk-around video for the Dodge vehicle of their choice. Phase 3:•Finalists had 3 weeks to rally their networks to vote for them to be an official Redline Dodge blogger.
- Contest pageviews = 352% to-goalSocial shares = 278% to goal
- Slides 34 to 38 to explain how Defiance works
- Linger here for color commentary
- Note: 149,000 total pageviews January 1st-May 8th1 – using open graph to generate impressions2 – 52% of people opted-in for getting email – so the people that were playing along weren’t just interested in the show, they were interested in the program. We got the right people here.
- Jim asks Mark to wrap up with the summary“What can brands take home from this? With so many brands buying ads and sponsored posts – what can we learn from this?” Jim has an example: Huge increase in fan base led to Interaction rate dropped by 2/3 because of a big fan buy Key to social is providing consistent, relevant content to our audience and weave in ways for the dodge online community to engage with the brand beyond Facebook and Instagram.
