Grow:
1) Continue to grow our platforms and launch new ones (XFINITY Google+, @XFINITY,
@XFINITYLatino, etc.)
2) Strategize on a plan for existing employee owned social accounts. Present and leverage accounts on an on-going basis (audit all accounts to date, develop a consistent look & feel with brand, create a tool kit on best practices, calendar to be shared with field/divisions, continue to utilize monitoring service and consult for larger organization)
Engage:
1) Publish a weekly content calendar covering all areas of business to ensure we are meeting objectives and educating our customers about new products/features
2) Test and learn more about our customers/likes/fans/followers (bring on North Highland to pull our data and analysis wins, opportunities, and challenges)
3) Foster brand advocates by executing programs that keep them coming back (one-on-one dialogue, sweepstakes, social good, helpful tools, A-list, tip of the week, etc.)
Monetize:
1) Look for opportunities to leverage up sell when appropriate (leverage ‘to do’ list posts/PPV events, Refer a Friend program, develop truly special offers just for social, partner with social platforms and content partners on programs)
2) Report on efforts on a monthly basis (orders, fan insight, upsells, reduction of call volume, etc.)

3) Leverage FB CRM to deliver on targeted media
Focus on deeper product integration with existing and future products (i.e. your
On Demand movie card)
Have truly special offers for our customers and non via social
Re-look care experience to help sophisticate it
Leverage social’s influence on driving business objectives by partnering with
SEO team
Bring on Social Agency (holistic approach to apps – building apps to capture data and linking it our customer data for sales and insights), North Highland
(social dashboard), and Contractor (field, content calendar, assist)
Develop some big ideas -

Comcast Digital Properties:
• xfinityTV.com
• Comcast.com
• xfinity.com
Overview
• XFINITY Google+ account have been secured, but no action has been performed on this page
• Care has been spending time responding to our customer across the G+ platform
• Since Google+ announcement that they will rank their pages in priority, it is in our best interest to launch a G+ page to help with search engine optimization (SEO)
• Google+ platform is primarily a tech savvy audience skewing male
Timing – March
2013 Strategy
• Recommendation to launch an XFINITY branded page and make it about the people behind XFINITY, the people who make the product possible
• The page will be an outlet to showcase product news and help to humanize the brand
• How it would work
• Offer “Office Hours” with Tom Blaxland who oversees product for emerging business. He has a strong, fun, intelligent, and topical voice that embraces the conversation and has been well versed in media training via
Corporate Communications
• Do posts that link to a blog post containing an interview with one of our many employees – from the executive ranks to the call centers, from sports to cable installation. The posts would be brief Q&As that would live on our blog. They’d include a photo of the person, the interview, and all would end with embedded messaging about acquisitions and upgrades (when appropriate)
• We believe it is an effective way of selling the product and maintaining loyalty to create a personal connection to the people who make it
• The interviews would be a mix of people that would focus and align with our goals - content, product, acquisition, upgrade, specials, and special events – with a slant on technology since the majority of users on Google+ are techies

Strong affinity to Movies (majority of top movies include blockbusters), TV shows, business technology, DIY crafts, cooking, country music, charity/causes, higher affinity to East coast and Midwest sports teams
Overall data supports that these are our BEST customers. They over index in TP, customer 3 yrs+, least likely to churn. HSD, Movers, and video up sells are not the best strategy with this specific audience. However, there is a opportunity to capitalize on Home especially in the NE.
