What do all of these successful campaigns have in common? They are about the customer, not the brand. They engage the customer, entertain the customer, and involve the customer. So many brands create social media campaigns and pray for them to go viral, and wonder why nothing happens. It is because nothing will happen until you create something that is about your customer, not about your brand.
