XFINITY’S 2013 Social

Marketing Planning session

January 24, 2013

Focus on growing, engaging, and monetizing via social media marketing efforts

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

Google + XFINITY

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

An In-Depth Look at Our XFINITY Facebook Likes

Average Age 33

25% Male | 75% Female

33% are married

83% Fans located in our footprint (Biggest cities

Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta)

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.
