Dubai – So, what happened with Etisalat UAE’s latest brand campaign #EtisalatChallenge? The campaign featured six international celebrities including Gerrard Butler, Ahmed Helmy, and dozens of social media influencers.
Etisalat Challenge Case Study
The campaign generated 15K negative comments – Your customers are angry, what are you doing next to satisfy them? Etisalat lost face after people won the challenge, as Etisalat didn’t reply any of their challenges. Again what’s next v. soon?
Also, the social media team had to reply to every single tweet/ comment on the hashtag, to take control.
