Together to Build our Reputation
Social Media @ Ford
We have a fundamental challenge:Q: Thinking about everything you have read, seen, or heard
about business in the last year, in general, do you trust corporations
a lot less, a little less, the same, a little more, or a lot more than you
did at the same time last year?

Explorer Facebook Fan Growth
July 2010
Facilitating Engagement - Engaged Fans
● 96% of Fans surveyed are likely or very likely to recommend the Explorer to
a friend after experiencing the Facebook reveal.
● Fans surveyed told us their three favorite aspects of the reveal were
exclusive photos and videos (82%), Ford involvement on the Facebook
Wall (58%) and the sweepstakes (55%)
● Fan engagement with content mirrored this finding as the embargo
photo reveal (.43% feedback) and the Facebook reveal video (.38%
feedback) generated the most fan engagement by a wide margin.
● The live chat with Alan Mulally (.34% feedback) also performed strongly
for fan engagement.
Impact
94% of Explorer conversation was positive
Explorer owned 64% share of positive voice in the
month of July – more than 3X its
closest competitor.
• Jeep Cherokee – 19%
• Honda Pilot – 7%
• Toyota 4Runner – 8%
• GMC Acadia – 2%
The Jeep media push on the 27th did not
register significantly in social media or
share of voice
Positive Dialogue: Exterior design (teaser and
embargo photos), improved fuel economy
Neutral Dialogue: Novelty and discussion of the
Facebook reveal, conversation around vehicle specs,
pricing, and availability
Negative Dialogue: Criticism of new frame, towing
capacity and performance
