Facebook Case Studies
www.facebook.com/PringlesPacked with home made Pringle adverts of people singing weird songs plus an application where you can upload your photo to a Pringles Conga (then invite your friends to join)
www.facebook.com/cocacolaThis fan page was not created by Coca-Cola. And when it became really big the company took to unorthodox step of encouraging the creators – read the story.
www.facebook.com/StarbucksStarbuck take the modesty approach avoiding in the face adverts and flashy games. Instead they have focussed on allowing their fans to enthuse about their coffee but also gently introducing social causes like the Haiti Earthquake, World AIDs day and Recycling
www.facebook.com/adidasoriginalsAdidas have really focussed on their Dream Client. The fan page is packed with videos of skateboarding, RAP music, competitions, and celebrity endorsements by David Beckham, Katy Perry, Kevin Garnett, Missy Elliott, and Mark Gonzales.
