Word of Mouth Case Study: HP 31 Days of the Dragon
Thursday, December 18th, 2008What a classic case of the power of social media. HP, like Dell, has truly embraced the influencers in social media program to help them spread the word about the HP Dragon Notebook: 31 influencers to give away 31 notebooks in 31 days. What a unique and insightful way to not only maximize reach, but introduce Hewlett Packard to the social arena in a very positive way. Here’s one of the chosen influencers, Chris Pirillo and his campaign to give away the HP Dragon.
If you type in “hp dragon” in search, you’ll notice that only the social media sites are the top ranked search results. The reason that this is important is now HP has built a positive influence within the social sphere and has garnered incremental influencer attention, who want to partner with them on future initiatives.
At Ammomarketing, we understand the importance of developing influencer relationships are very much with the intention of creating long-term partnerships with strong value exchange between the company and the influencers. Overtime, this value exchange turns into a trusting exchange that’s mutually reciprocated and can yield optimum benefits for both parties. Canadian clients are beginning to see the value of social media as a cost-effective way to strengthen brand perception, drive reach and create enduring and positive brand conversations. Good for you HP!
