This is, so far, one of the best case studies we recommend to any marketer. Spread the word about it. The more knowledge out there, the fewer mistakes, or #Fails, brands face.

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.
