There are very few actual mentions regarding the campaign and its marketing efforts; however, this seems to be the general feeling for the ‘buzz’ surrounding the campaign • There are a couple of obvious reasons why no one seems to be talking about Inspired by Iceland, or at least keeping some longevity: • Iceland Supermarket adverts - ‘Iceland’, ‘Iceland advert’, ‘Iceland Ad Campaign’, are all key search phrases associated with both the Inspired campaign and the UK supermarket. This creates a large congestion in search and ‘buzz’ amongst these phrases. Unfortunately, key phrases for Inspired are getting lost within this traffic For example, here are three selected mentions taken today in time order. As you can see there are two Tweets regarding the Iceland advert and only one talking about Inspired by Iceland. This seems to be the general consensus throughout - this of course should be the other way around Shown is a peak in Tweets due to the premiering of the Iceland Christmas television advert.

For instance, ‘Iceland food’, ‘Iceland Christmas’, ‘Iceland Christmas food’, related topics that could break through the aforementioned search traffic Suggested Procedures • Despite regular activity via the Inspired by Iceland Twitter and Facebook accounts, this activity is easily forgotten - More buzzed videos need to be created, or at least attached with the Inspired by Iceland brand name • Suggested videos - Christmas related videos informing viewers, and potential visitors what is a traditional Icelandic Christmas, with an SEO’d headline - NeM can help with SEO • Create more ePR - More news related stories based on selected key phrases, as well as distributions for each video provided by Inspired by Iceland Inspired by Iceland Social Media Monitoring Heartbeat November 30th, 2011 Monitoring Objectives • Monitor current and potential buzz surrounding Inspired by Iceland; the new ad campaign; and Iceland related key phrases • Focusing on Twitter, Facebook, Blog, News, Forum posts • Measure sentiment surrounding Inspired by Iceland - both positive and negative • Understand how to tighten monitoring for future campaign strategies Inspired by Iceland Mentions Between 23.11 and 30.11 This graph represents the activity between the period 23.11 and 30.11 for all mentions tagged under the phrase “Inspired by Iceland” Favourability rate dropped Inspired by Iceland Mentions Between 23.11 and 30.11 3,397 social media mentions since 23.11 Twitter mentions most predominant, with 74.8% of total mentions • Extreme rise in Twitter mentions on 23rd November, then decreased rapidly there after • News, Blog and Forum mentions remained roughly the same in mentions to last week, with a slight increase in Facebook mentions Inspired by Iceland Mentions Between 23.11 and 30.11 More mentions in the UK this week, over taking the U.S - first time since 11.10 Inspired by Iceland Sentiment Between 23.11 and 30.11 Inspired by Iceland Sentiment Between 23.11 and 30.11 Most social media mentions were tagged with no sentiment; 333 mentions were tagged as being positive; 336 mentions were tagged as being negative Like the previous weeks, these results don’t reflect the progress of the Inspired by Iceland campaign as we couldn’t find any negative mentions Most Inspired by Iceland related search words conflict with search results for the Supermarket, which in turn, lose their value Other ‘buzzed’ videos tagged under ‘Inspired by Iceland’ still get mentions, like the ‘Northern Lights’ video.
