Learn Social Media by Example: Put Your Best Face Forward with Estee Lauder

Stat Box

Brand: Estee Lauder (Beauty Industry)
Channels Used: Facebook, booth in department stores
Appeal: Feel better about yourself by looking better
Target Audience: Women ages between 35-55
Date of Campaign: October 2009 — Current

I will go ahead and dare you to find a Facebook group with as much loving as Estee Lauder’s. Check it out, it is absolutely amazing.

Every wall-post has around three “I love Estee Lauder’s…”, and believe me when I say there are tons of wall posts. I have spent the past 10 minutes going over January, and all the messages are so loving it almost makes me cringe.

Estee Lauder must spend tons of money on getting their clients to love them so much.

What I love about their very subtle social media campaign is how it makes the effort to understand the needs of its audience. By offering luxury beauty product, there’s a fine line between selling an expensive product short and beautifully having women strut their best face forward with a nice nod to Estee Lauder. They address the desire to look good in one of the most important digital life-files online: Facebook.

Top 10 Addictive Facebook Games Which Can Drive You Nuts!

Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?” Clifford Stoll

In this post, I will attempt to answer Mr. Clifford’s question by bringing to you the top ten Facebook addictive games which will turn you from a “balanced” human being into an addicted gamer; always waiting for his or her next game fix! (You can indulge in the 5 most addictive Twitter games by clicking here)

Therefore, my advice to you is as follows: If you work, go to school, have a family, have friends, or even have a life at all, I urge you not to play more than one of the following games in the same day. Trust me, the results are amazingly terrifying! :)

1. Sushi Panic

Whether you are a sushi lover or not, this sushi-based tetris-like game is guaranteed to keep you at the edge of your seat, especially when those sushi pieces start rushing by in the speed of light! The game is simple: group similar sushi pieces together as they pass by on the conveyor for score and to prevent the jam which would end up in a sad game over… leaving the poor sushi behind!

2. You are constantly updated with your distant friends’ lives in Canada, South Africa, and France but you don’t even know your neighbors.
3. You agree that people with no Twitter accounts are like, seriously, not people.

Ikea’s Social Marketing Genius

Watch that movie and weep. It’s not sappy of course, but its so simply brilliant it’s almost hard to bare. Ikea practically invents Facebook tag marketing.

How? They use the photo tagging function where users were able to tag objects in photos of Ikea showrooms with their own names to win these very products. What they managed to do is: advertise their products socially, spread the love, and involve people in conversations.

This campaign was done by Forsman and Bodenfors, who have been working with Ikea since 1996. This is their first social media campaign.
