Notes de l'éditeur
Actors, models, athletes, the occasional businessmanEndorse all kinds of things from clothing, cosmetics, footwear, food and more
Tiger before he was found out: talented golfer, devoted family man, disciplined athlete; in short - the perfect brand ambassador – for anything - shavers (Gillette), telcos (AT&T), computer games (EA Sports), sports drinks (Gatorade) etc
Orange shows cumulative conversations, green shows new conversationsA spike in the conversations related to the Nike Golf Brand was observed following the sequence of events related to Tiger’s Personal Life.
Even though Nike vows to support Tiger and doesn’t terminate the ad deals, they proceed to launch one of the most highly-anticipated Golf Line Products without any mention of Tiger Woods, in spite of the name of product being inspired by him.
The green curve shows conversations about Nike golf with no mention of Tiger; the orange curve shows conversations about Nike golf but with mentions of Tiger.The similarity of the movement of both curves highlight the strong brand association between Tiger Woods and Nike golf
Green represents positive, blue nuetral, red negativeSince Nike claimed their continued support for Tiger on the press but didn’t follow up by no mentioning him on the product launch, their actions were treated with a lot of negativity, backfiring with the sentiments that they hoped to avoid.
Above chart shows the buzz, below curve shows the sentiment. Orange line shows the daily buzz/sentiment, green shows a trend lineAccenture was one of the brands that had heavy negative buzz associated with it, related to TW during the scandal and even following the ending of the endorsement
Accenture completely went back on all that they stood for in the campaigns
While Nike’s brand association with Tiger focused on his Talent and Sportsmanship in Golf, Accenture leveraged on his Personality which was severely damaged due to the sex scandal and hence was forced to re-brand with a real Elephant – one that won’t be tainted by infidelity.
While Tag Heuer has selectively managed its Brand globally with Tiger, avoiding his Brand endorsement in the US, while retaining it in China, where the scandal doesn’t necessarily have the same negative implications. This may not resonate too bad in their key markets, since their target customers might be more sympathetic towards Tiger’s position.
Not all that counts can be counted

There are 2 main types of sentiment scoring – automated, human enabled, or a combination of the two. This is done by using natural language processing or keyword matches – words such as love/hate are each given a sentiment rating (words in red/green).This is simple enough until you throw in short forms, sarcasm, cultural lingos, or if a single post gets multiple brands mentions and emotive words – then the accuracy level plunges. On the other hand, where data is minimal, posts get tagged as “neutral”, which is not always true.
akai_1608 created a thread discussion on voz forum. S/he decided to purchase a smartphone and was considering between several devices, from Dell Streak, Iphone 4 to Samsung i897 and Captivate - - Galaxy S. At the price of 14 million vnd (around 700usd), the thread initiator stated that Iphone 4 was definitely top device with good functions, nice design and having huge amount of supported applications. However, s/he added that s/he disliked the complex procedures when processing some functions.
TiêuKiếm started a thread discussion on 5giay forum. The poster was currently using Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic. However, s/he said that the design (skin) for this device was not so good. The poster then posted the question of whether anyone who could know where to purchase the Nokia 5800 Navigation skin in order to replace his/her device’s one.Ticket was automatically rate as relevant with positive sentiment. However based on subject description and ticket content. This ticket should be re-evaluated and rate as relevant with neutral sentiment as the poster was mentioning about Nokia products with good and not-good features. This process of correcting will be done by SMA (human rating).
After each post is rated, we can compare the different brands.From the above, even though the iPhone is the 2nd most discussed brand, the sentiments towards the iPhone are the most negative. In contrast, HTC, the least discussed brand, seems to be the most favoured brand in online discussions.
When a customer Googles for your product, you want him/her to be able to find info about it on many different websites, and not just be limited to the same few owned media sites
Page views, unique site visitors, etc.Action not just talkWho is responding to the message, across multiple demographics: regional, professional, vertical, economic, and more.Small communities form and niche conversations start in every industry.How relevant to my company is a particular blog post among hundreds of a given meme?A narrow, but extremely detailed, focus on one subject or issue.
Used as KPIs – e.g. HTC to improve their engagement score for the next quarter
