Social media in Europe

Or rather in Finnish context

Matti Rossi, Aalto School of Business
Enterprise social media

 Starting to gain traction
 Digital media companies are willing and able
 More traditional companies less so

 Huge interest in formal social media tools
    Yammer, SalesForce Chatter
 Facebook, Twitter etc. often sanctioned
    E.g. our school policy does not allow me to keep an FB page for
     our masters program

Some research statistics

 40 % of Finnish companies have a social media strategy
 Facebook by far the most popular social media, 60 % of
  companies using social media use FB
 YouTube second by 50 %, Twitter 30 % and blogging about
  20%
 Most companies in a testing phase

Example: Finnair

 Small, regional airliner reinventing
itself
 Finnair Runway Blog: Contributions from Finnair
   employees and invited outsiders
    Little customer discussion
 Departure 2093 Campaign: Five Visions for Future Air
  Traffic
    Purpose: to convey Finnair values of quality, freshness, and
     quality
 Facebook for Service Delivery During Crises
    Very useful during the Icelandic ash crisis

Quality
Hunters




 Purpose: use socialization agents to signal what
  quality is in air travel and engage customers in
  discussions
 Outcomes:
      5300 applicants from 90 countries, much local PR
      Over half a million blog visitors during two months
      Many active participants were repeat (and from Finland)
      Very few actual ideas for new product development
Viral vs. official

 Many companies have official policies etc. for social media
 Most interesting things happening recently have been viral
  and usually not sanctioned by companies

    Nestespoil.com is a Greenpeace site that mocks Neste Oil, a
     Finnish oil refiner
    Neste tried to use Wipo to claim the web site
    Huge backlash in social media
