IntroducBon    

Friday  13th:  worst  case  scenario  for  a  community  manager?      4  cases:      -­‐  Carrefour  -­‐  Ter  Zake  -­‐  Monoprix  -­‐  Avans  Hogeschool    

And  we’ll  close  the  day  with  some  #fails  and  #fun

Case  1:  Carrefour    

Here’s  what  happened:  Someone  posted  on  the  Carrefour’s  Facebook  wall  a  picture  showing  an  employee  posing  with  fish  that  were  in  the  fish  department.  This  person  was  shocked  and  expressed,  in  capital  leVers,  her  displeasure!

Case  1:  Carrefour    

The  challenge  for  this  kind  of  situaBon  is  to  answer  correctly  and  rapidly  to  avoid  a  chain  reacBon  and  create  a  “bad  buzz”.  What  Carrefour  answered  was  really  informal  and  evasive  but  surprisingly  nobody  noBced  that,  and  the  conversaBon  between  the  pro  and  the  anB  employee  goes  on!        

             

   

 So,  what  would  you  have  done?  

 Conclusion:  We  can’t  stress  enough  that  you  need  to  be  prepared  to  face  this  kind  of  situaBon!  This  Bme  it  didn’t  go  viral  and  didn’t  affect  the  reputaBon  of  Carrefour  but  if  there  is  a  next  Bme,  I  would  recommend  Carrefour  to  take  the  Bme  to  answer  more  completely  to  reassure  the  community.

Case  2:  Ter  Zake    

Here’s  what  happened:  On  a  quiet  Monday  evening  TwiVer  exploded  due  to  a  very  dry  and  arrogant  answer  from  Ter  Zake  to  one  of  their  followers,  and  instead  of  apologizing  they  just  kept  going  on.  Before  they  knew  every  newspaper  and  website  picked  up  the  story.  This  must  have  been  a  Friday  13th  for  the  boss  of  that  community  manager  …    It  started  of  with  this

Case  2:  Ter  Zake    

A  couple  of  hours  later,  finally,  Ter  Zake  apologised  with  this  Tweet          

 So  what  started  of  as  a  criBcal  remark,  not  really  potenBal  for  a  crisis,  became  a  trending  topic  on  TwiVer  in  no  Bme  

 So,  what  would  you  have  done?    

     Conclusion:  It’s  dangerous  to  react  to  criBcal  remarks  in  a  personal  way,  someBmes  you  have  to  give  your  personal  touch  as  a  community  manager  but  here  a  construcBve  conversaBon  with  the  follower  could  have  avoided  lots  of  damage

Case  3:  Monoprix  

Here’s   what   happened:   The   Community   Manager   of   Monoprix   was   not   as   lucky   as   the   one   of  Carrefour!  He  really  got  his  Friday  13th!  A  Facebook  user  posted  a  rude  message  on  the  Monoprix  page  complaing  about  the  infamous  taste  of  the  Ham  Emmental  pavement  bread  he  ate.  Then,  the  discussion  started  with  plenty  of  other  people  complaining  too  and  who  aVacked  the  brand  it-­‐self  with  more  that  890  comments  and  17.000  likes!  

           

Page 8: Friday Session #59: The Freaky Friday of a Community Manager

Case  3:  Monoprix  

           

The   quesBon  was   how   to   react  when   you   are   faced   to   that   kind   of   situaBon?  What   to   answer  without  having  a  backfire?    The  Community  Manager  took  his  Bme  to  answer  briefly  and  in  the  best  way  I  think  by  explaining  that  he  can  understand  that  not  everyone  loves  the  sandwich  they  buy  and  proposed  to  this  guy  to  come  and  see  how  they  prepare  the  food.  In  a  second  message  he  reminded  the  community  that  he  has  no  problem  that  the  conversaBon  conBnue  but  it  has  to  be  done  in  a  kindly  way  so  the  CM  doesn’t  have  to  intervene.

Case  3:  Monoprix  

           

       

So…  what  would  you  have  done?      

Conclusion:  A  lot  of  comments  and  buzz  generated  around  this  message  but  at  least  it  doens’t  impact  the  brand  since  the  reacBon  of  the  brand  was  perfect.  Monoprix  has  nothing  to  blame,  the  job  was  done  and  in  a  nice  way!

Case  4:  Avans  Hogeschool  

Here’s  what  happened:  Avans  Hogeschool  in  Holland  worked  out  social  media  guidelines  for  their  students  saying  students  of  the  school  are  considered  ambassadors  and  can  not  speak  bad  about  their  school  on  social  media.  A  one  line  that  had  been  added  to  the  general  school  rules.  NaBonal  press  picked  it  up  with  the  sensaBonal  "School  prohibits  students  to  talk  bad  on  social  media"  and  got  reinforced  very  fast  by  other  big  media  publishers.  It  caused  a  storm  of  negaBve  comments  on  Facebook  &  TwiVer.  Avans  posted  a  reacBon  but  “forgot”  the  most  important  thing  here…  answering  their  followers!

Case  4:  Avans  Hogeschool  

Later  on  TwiVer  &  Facebook,  but  no  reacBon  on  the  comments  on  Avans  side  

       

       

So…  what  would  you  have  done?      Conclusion:  No  maVer  how  hard  or  tricky  the  quesBon  is  you  have  to  answer  your  fans  or  followers,  the  longer  you  wait,  the  nasBer  it  will  get.
