Online Media
THE BACKGROUND Though still considered be a young enterprise, the brand is valued at more than $6 billion, operates in 48 countries and is considered one of the fastest growing companies in history. This all couldn’t have happened overnight, right?
But it kind of did.
“With the acquisition of an international component a couple years ago, we went from being a North American startup to a global brand — in what could be seen as just a couple of hours,” said Paul Matson, Groupon’s head of content and social media.
THE PROBLEM
1. Groupon became a juggernaut practically overnight2. As the company grew, so did their social media needs – the complexity of the
organization compounded3. The time required to make social effective was more than what the sales reps
could allocate4. The company soon found it hard to manage all these conversations effectively -
there were close to 400 Twitter handles associated with Groupon at one point5. The system was fragmented – a mess!
THE SOLUTION
1. They re-evaluated and redefined their goals. 2. They hired a team of individuals solely dedicated to social. 3. They adopted “One Playbook,” to which all charged with the task of communicating on
behalf of Groupon would adhere, and4. Technology!
