Company: Ooredoo Qatar  Entry submitted by: Muna Barakat (monabarakat) Community Manager Community: Ooredoo Community (http://community.ooredoo.qa/)  Lithy category: Excellence in Customer Satisfaction    Ooredoo Qatar is a telecomm company based in Qatar. It is the first telecom company in the country. Ooredoo is a provider of mobile services, wireless and wire-line services, entertainment services, and content services, with varying market share in the domestic and international telecom markets and in the business (corporations and individuals) and residential markets.   Ooredoo went international few years back to include eight other telecom companies in countries such as, Kuwait, Oman, Maldives, Myanmar, Tunisia, and Algeria. Today, Ooredoo serve more than 90 million people internationally.   However, our Ooredoo Community is cozy when it comes to size. We focus on Qatar’s market that has around 2 million people. We launched Community on May 2014, so we are barely one year old.   Our 2014 customer satisfaction intiatives   Every person in Qatar has at least one device or service from Ooredoo. Due to our verity of services, we have high pressure on our customer service. Although we support our customers on many online and offline channels such as our website, Facebook, twitter, snapechat, instagram, call center, and shops, but we wanted to do the extra mile and offer our customers a unique experience where they can get help from their peers. This is where Lithium role comes!   We launched our forum around a year ago, but we are already seeing it grow nicely with members, quality content, and getting picked up by Google Although we haven’t done aggressive paid campaign, so this growth is mostly organic.   Ooredoo’s initiative to always offer what is new and different is what attracts customers to it. Peer to peer, social support forum, such as the solution that Lithium offers isn’t a common trend in Qatar or even the region. Being the first of its kind has pros and cons because it is harder to educate the public about these forums. The choice of having a young female community manager is also an indication of unorthodox practice, because Ooredoo is all about the end result and not following what is common or average.   Being keen on customer satisfaction, we wanted to hit three main areas: Humanize our brand Weather you are an Ooredoo staff or regular customer on Community, we encourage the user to show his character. Our style of writing is more casual. The result? Customers started to change the image of a faceless corporate, and having names associated with Ooredoo such as the team working on Community like me, and other Ooredoo staff members. Own our content You saw a solution of how to restart your Wi-Fi device of Facebook five months ago. Today, your Wi-Fi started to act up and you need this valuable post, could you find it? With many social media channels like Facebook, twitter, and instagram, it is very tiring and sometimes impossible to find old content. Owing our content meant hassle free to our customers. And it was a win/win solution for our product team that could monitor feedback and gain market research info in a way, AND our customers who don’t have to wait on the phone for many cases. A hub for customers to share, chill, and be heard Increasing enthusiasm level toward our brand get personal with our customers, know who they are, what changes they need, and what they like to watch as a movie so we can include it on our Mozaic service, and many other scenarios.   Our results   There is a causality effect between Community and decrease in customer complaints, but we don’t think it is a direct causality.   However, we have many posts from our super-users, and active users who expressed their satisfaction, or promoted our Ooredoo services on Community countless times, such as this topic that gave a review to our most common services:     This is an example of a user (who’s not a super user) who gave review on Mozaic service. In return, one of our senior experts on Mozaic replied to every points the user gave, provided future plans, and offered beta trail chances for the user to test. Here are some of the reactions:

Company: Total Access Communication (dtac)  Entry submitted by: Orraphan Saengsawat (nnnfonnn) AVP, Digital Service & Channel Strategy Community: dtac Online Community (https://community.dtac.co.th/) Lithy category: Marketing Champion   Total Access Communication Public Company Limited, commonly known as DTAC. We are one of Thailand's leading mobile service operators. Founded in August 1989, dtac currently has customer base of more than 28 million numbers (by Q2/2014) with various service freqencies of 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and recently acquired 2100 MHz – prompting dtac to be the only Network in Thailand with the biggest bandwidth at present. In this age of the vocal customer, there is no better advocate for our business than a happy and engaged customer. One of the most rewarding and cost-effective ways of forging strong bonds with our customers is to create an active community.   We implemented our dtac Online community in December 2014. We can hear our customers who are talking about us, see what’s going on, and also positive or negative trends, and can solve negative voices in time. And we are setting the response rate of each question in our community around less than 2 hours in the beginning of the question. Our SuperFans and other members in the community will try to help their friends in this community. If the problem still can’t be fixed, our support team will take care of the case.   Our Community is growing up by community member collaboration. That means consumers, SuperFans, Management team, Support team, volunteer staff, and experts are involved and contribute in our community. Also they serve our objective to build this community for customer centricity and self-service.   Our marketing campaign   Our main objective was to build the customer centricity and cost savings from all forms of contact point, including call to call center, e-mails, social media posts. Customers will help to answer most of the cases. To support the campaign, we launched both internal and external campaigns.   External campaign Soft-Launch event with Online Influencer and dtac SuperFans ‘CEO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SHOWS MEMBER ,YOU’RE THERE AND YOU CARE’ We had  the Thai’s online influencer and dtac Superfans special dinner meeting with Mr.Sigve – dtac’s CEO on October 2015.We invited an additional 100 customers who are the dtac’s SuperFans from our community to enjoy dinner and talk with our CEO. This special dinner was live broadcast via Youtube channel. eDM - Invite Online Influencer, Brand advocates, SuperFans dtac had more superfans in Pantip.com – No.1 public community in Thailand. And we had good relationship with online influencers and bloggers. Also we invited  100 people in our first group to trial the service at the end of November.   And we sent this eDM to 100,000 dtac customers that are heavy internet users in 10 december for the commercial launch period.   Monthly Activity An ongoing campaign to drive members to share good ideas for the dtac community. Every department can be an activity host or sponsor; they will have a chance to design the activity or useful question that will help improve this service. There have been more than 500 ideas/activity.   Example :  Topic : Which is the dtac prepaid promotion that you love and need back? https://community.dtac.co.th/t5/ดีแทค-ไอเดีย/โปรที่ใช่-โปรที่ชอบ-ที่อยากให้-dtac-และ-Happy-นำกลับมาอีกครั้ง/td-p/6847 Host By : Prepaid Product Result :  560 comments   Topic : What offer or privilege do you want to find in the dtac reward campaign? https://community.dtac.co.th/t5/ดีแทค-ไอเดีย/dtac-Reward-จัดให้-อยากได้ส่วนลดจากร้านไหน-แนะนำเรามา-ลุ้นรับ/m-p/9966#U9966 Host By : Reward Team Result :  340 comments   Internal dtac Buddy campaign – (Volunteer Staff Campaign) We assembled a volunteer staff to create a team of key contributors that represent the organization to others members in various capacities ranging from development, support, marketing and all the way through to sales. We had provide the training and all volunteers must pass the writing skill exam. Through this process we could ensure that all of the messages would not look like a robot dialog.   Campaign results   In 4 months we reached 1.3 m visitors and 9.3 m page-views and more than 6,000 members. With this number, we created over 2,456 topics and helped resolve 1,263 cases. Half of the cases were resolved by community members and volunteer staff. And our big challenge was to convert 100 participants (Superfans from other communities) at the CEO’s meeting event to be a part of dtac's online community to help answer questions in our community. The result was the ability to convert 40 SuperFans to be a part of our community.  That meant we established the online community as one brand channel through which consumers can offer feedback and share the experience of the brand.   Additional supporting materials   We had integrated marketing communication during November 2014 – January 2015. We are projecting a unified message in both our digital and traditional media and utilize all dtac media asset as below: Digital Signage at outlet Social Network – Facebook Fanpage, Twitter, Youtube, IG Chat Application – Line Direct E-mail SMS Call Center PR Commercial VDO : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZZ7zAEM0nY How to VDO : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AeTYLuTnp0   Press Release : http://www.mxphone.net/031214-dtac-launch-online-community/ http://www.thairath.co.th/content/456982 http://www.manager.co.th/Cyberbiz/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9570000118800 http://www.hooninside.com/news-detail.php?id=409207

Company: Telefonica Movistar  Entry submitted by: Emilio Rodriguez Menendez (UT04546) Community Manager Community: Comunidad Movistar (comunidad.movistar.es)  Lithy category: Excellence in Customer Satisfaction   Telefónica is one of the world leading integrated operators in the telecommunications sector, providing communication, information and entertainment solutions, with presence in Europe and Latin America. It operates in 21 countries. As of December 2014, Telefónica’s total number of customers amounted to 341 million.   Our customer satisfaction initiatives in 2014 were CSI, NPS, Recommendations/Referrals, Noise, Average Response Time and CHI.   As such, our overall objectives have been to increase the CSI, visits, call deflection and commercial leads. See our Social ROI Titan entry for more results on visits and call deflection. In terms of our customer satisfaction initiatives, we focused on CSI, NPS, Recommendations/Referrals, Noise, Average Response Time, and CHI. All areas of our company have their own objectives that are aligned with the overarching company goals.   Improving online customer service was the most critical customer issue that we looked to solve with our Lithium Total Community implementation.   Here are the results of our top customer satisfaction initiatives: CSI: Every time a user/customer receives attention from one of our moderators, we send him/her a link to our online survey asking to evaluate the help received (this applies to cases that need to be solved by official Movistar staff in terms of needing to check the customer information in our systems). We received a stable 9 throughout 2014 and this year. We assisted 120,000 customers in 2014, and in 2015 our moderators have already helped more than 24,000 customers. NPS: In that same survey, we ask the user if he would recommend our help/attention to his friends and family. We are pleased to receive 99% positive answers. Recommendations: As a result of the excellent help that we provide our community, we receive a lot of posts praising our work. And most importantly, we have many examples of users in external forums, referring other users/customers to our community when asking for help and acknowledging us as the best channel to get help from Movistar.   http://www.gsmspain.com/foros/h967593_Operadores-Movistar_CONSEJO-Comunidad-Movistar-1004-609.html   http://www.adslzone.net/postt324695.html   http://bandaancha.eu/foros/velozinter-1709626#r2336025 http://bandaancha.eu/foros/desactivar-casilla-mensajes-1689431#r2132517 Noise: As a part of our strategy, we receive reports from our market research team in which they evaluate the noise about Movistar on the Internet. In this report, we evaluate the amount of noise and the tonality of the noise (positive, negative, neutral). Since the Community was launched, we are still the leading Telco company that receives the most mentions. Furthermore, we are the one in the telco sector that receives the most positive tonality in part due of the influence of the community (1.3M monthly visits).   Average Response Time: 6 hours, which is a significant reduction from our 2013 average response time of 14 hours. LSW: We have recently started using Lithium Social Web (LSW) as a part of our strategy to improve our customer satisfaction and achieve even better results with response time. CHI 785: We have achieved a stable 780-785 CHI.   In addition to the above achievements, we have relocated our call centers in Spain (instead of outsourcing). We are also focusing on increasing the servicing to 70% in online channels in order to avoid expenses to our call center.

Company: Moe's Southwest Grill   Entry submitted by: Daley Michael (Moes) PR & Communications Coordinator Klout Perks Customer Lithy category: Marketing Champion    Welcome to Moe’s! ® Founded in 2000 in Atlanta, GA, Moe’s Southwest Grill is a fast-casual restaurant franchise featuring fresh, handmade, customizable southwestern food in a welcoming environment that rocks. Moe’s is committed to serving only the highest quality ingredients 100% of the time at all of our locations in the U.S and abroad. While Moe’s is best known for its burritos packed with a choice of more than 20 fresh, flavorful ingredients, the menu also features kid’s, vegetarian and low-calorie options, all served with free chips and salsa. Check out Moe’s online at www.moes.com.   As a growing brand, we don’t have the biggest budget when it comes to social ad buying. And no matter how you’re utilizing social ads, it always seems like content is being force-fed to viewers on a social news feed. People trust what their friends are doing and will follow that versus an ad. That’s why we felt Klout was perfect. As it relates to this particular campaign, we needed to hit a specific demo at a specific location at a specific time with influencers who had a Klout score of 50+ and loved burritos and spicy food. With Klout, you can really drill down on the exact audience you’re trying to reach. A lot of vendors can’t do that. Klout’s network of influencers was the ideal fit for our brand because we value direct interaction with our biggest fans. Instead of a blanket campaign, we really appreciated the ability to carefully select a curated audience that we could directly connect with.   Our Klout Perks campaign   We implemented a campaign specifically for one of our biggest promotions of the year – Cinco de Moe’s. The goal was to build buzz around our new Spicy Guac and drive engagement by using Klout influencers  to spread awareness and anticipation of our annual Cinco de Moe’s event, thereby extending overall reach and creating brand ambassadors.   By partnering with Klout, we engaged influencers in the U.S. East Coast who produce related content on social media channels about burritos, Mexican food, and spicy food topics. We surprised and delighted them with Spicy Guac kits filled with branded Cinco de Moe’s items, including: t-shirts, sports bottles, headbands, and a stack of Moe’s gift cards to share with friends and family. We then encouraged influencers to visit a Moe’s Southwest Grill location on May 5th and share their positive experiences on social channels (i.e. tweet, Instagram and post on Facebook about their #CincoDeMoes experiences).   Our Perks campaign results   The campaign was a huge success. We achieved our goals of increasing reach and creating Moe’s brand ambassadors. Our unique reach was 8.48MM. Compared to Cinco de Moe’s 2013, we saw a 117% increase in social impressions and a 30% increase in Twitter mentions. In addition, we saw a +17.5% comp sales increase on May 5, 2014 versus May 5, 2013. Of the 10K+ content generated, 33% came from Twitter, 32% from Facebook, and 35% from Instagram.   We also saw an immediate lift in overall engagement on Instagram and Twitter, and we were able to give our influential customers a sense of exclusivity and empowerment. For example, many people noticed our influencers walk in with branded Cinco de Moe’s supplies, tweeting in-the-moment pictures to show off their exclusive gear. They were asking how they got their limited-edition Cinco de Moe’s items and commented that it was a cool gift. In turn, that unique exchange encouraged those customers to visit our social account asking how they, too, could become a Moe’s ambassador.

We are one of Thailand's leading mobile service operators. Founded in August 1989, dtac currently has customer base of more than 28 million numbers (by Q2/2014) with various service freqencies of 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and recently acquired 2100 MHz – prompting dtac to be the only Network in Thailand with the biggest bandwidth at present. The goal of our Community promotion   Our main objective was to build the customer centricity and cost savings from all forms of contact point, including call to call center, e-mails, social media posts. Customers will help to answer most of the cases.   When we talked about the goal of launching this community campaign, we wanted consumers knowing about dtac's new services so consumers could get closer to dtac and also ask questions, offer feedback on service, and share experiences and also their knowledge. We strived to have this campaign help move dtac SuperFans and brand advocates from other communities to be a part of this community and also help to drive engagement in our community.   Our promotion strategy   We’ve put more effort in the ‘launch stage’ period to establish the community. Most strategy and tactics focused on how to build brand awareness and get more active members participating in community. And in August 2014 dtac had the new CEO, K.Sigve, and our customers love him. So we created ‘Heart Talk with Sigve’, a live streaming event.   ‘CEO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SHOWS MEMBER ,YOU’RE THERE AND YOU CARE’ We hosted a Thai online influencer and dtac Superfans special dinner meeting with Mr.Sigve – dtac’s CEO on October 2015. We invited an additional 100 customers who are dtac’s SuperFans from our community to enjoy dinner and talk with our CEO. This special dinner was live broadcast via Youtube channel. And online customers were able to send their question to the CEO via posting in the dtac online community, Twitter, and Facebook.   We have the Commercial video and How to video. The video is running via dtac's youtube channel while customers are waiting for service at dtac stores. Our video had both commercial video that advertises our service and other video to provide an overview on ‘How to use ‘dtac's online community’.        Promotion results   More than 5,000 online users saw the youtube live broadcast and generated more than 1,000 questions We were able to convert 40 participants (Superfans) at the event to shift from other communities to be a part of dtac's online community where they help answer questions for our community members.    Video entry Soft Launch Event: Commercial VDO:  How to VDO:

Company: Telefonica Movistar  Entry submitted by: Emilio Rodriguez Menendez (UT04546) Community Manager Community: Comunidad Movistar (comunidad.movistar.es)  Lithy category: Social ROI Titan   Telefónica is one of the world leading integrated operators in the telecommunications sector, providing communication, information and entertainment solutions, with presence in Europe and Latin America. It operates in 21 countries. As of December 2014, Telefónica’s total number of customers amounted to 341 million.   Our 2014 goals with Total Community were call deflection, CSI improvement, cost savings (LSW) , and increased visits.   We achieved great results in 2014 and 2015.   First, here are some definitions on how we calculated our results:         - Encuentran: (average) # of visitors who found the information they were looking for when they accessed the Community via Google.         - 1004 (our call center telephone number): Through the survey we offer to our Community visitors, we look at the number of those who said they found the information they were looking for. X% said they would’ve called 1004 (call center) if they hadn’t found the information in the Community, and that is how we determine our call deflection figure.         - Precio (price): 3€ is the average cost per attention in our call center * calls= x *12 months. 3€ is the average cost of a call center call. For example, in 2014 we saved 16.404.550€.         - Ahorro (savings): In 2014, we saved 18,142,377 € mostly due to Community. In 2014, we weren´t using LSW yet. In addition, we have improved our # of visits.   We finished 2014 with the following results: - 15,189,399 visits - 60% of the visitors (or 9,113,639 visitors) said they were able to find the information they needed  - 60% of those who found the information they were looking for (or 5,468,183 people) said would have called our call center (1004) if they had not found the information in the Community.  - 3€ per call = 16.404.550€ savings in 2014 from call deflection   A visual of our ROI model:     Additional business objectives that we achieved   With the SEO community strategy, we have been able to place top search terms such as 4G, Fiber, FTTH in top places of Google searches. By achieving a top SEO position for our strategic terms/words, you can also get commerical leads from those searches (we have links to our home site from the best positioned posts regarding those terms). We can also get servicing as far as we also get high SEO positions with searches related to servicing, such as PUK, Router Keyword, etc...all of which means less calls to our call center. As a result of this (and not only due to Community but partly), Movistar is not only the most mentioned company on the Internet but also the one with the best tonality. We are the leading telecommunication community in Spain with visits that doubles the competition combined. We also are in the Top5 Telco Lithium communities (CHI).
