Campaign
Brits Go Wild For Apple Live Event 
• Apple held a much anticipated ‘special event’ in September 
• The ensuing excitement (and some derision) put it way out of 
reach of other brands this month. 
• Samsung also did well by latching on to Apple’s attention with 
its own social marketing. 
• Tesco came 4th but probably owing to the accounting scandal 
that made headlines in September. 
• Meanwhile, its rival Waitrose had a particularly strong month. 
• Tech, Retail and Entertainment brands are some of the most 
talked about on Twitter in the UK. 
• But several finance companies are also performing well among 
the more ‘fun’ social brands.
Apple’s 
Magic 
• Even 
without 
an 
official 
Twiber 
account, 
Apple’s 
presence 
on 
the 
social 
network 
is 
strongly 
felt. 
• We 
recently 
found 
that 
the 
tech 
brand 
is 
popular 
across 
many 
demographics 
as 
well. 
• The 
new 
iPhone 
6 
and 
the 
Apple 
Watch 
quickly 
became 
two 
of 
the 
most 
talked 
about 
things 
on 
social 
media 
when 
they 
were 
unveiled 
at 
the 
event. 
• But 
once 
on 
sale, 
concerns 
about 
the 
sturdiness 
of 
the 
new 
phones 
also 
spawned 
the 
criEcal 
hashtag 
#Bendgate
Samsung 
Trolls 
Its 
Rival 
• It 
has 
become 
something 
of 
a 
theme 
for 
Samsung 
to 
tease 
Apple 
whenever 
a 
new 
product 
is 
released. 
Perhaps 
this 
is 
a 
form 
of 
flabery, 
but 
it 
does 
work. 
Social 
media 
audiences 
love 
these 
rivalries 
and 
oIen 
retweet 
them 
more 
than 
the 
actual 
‘Ads’.
Tesco 
Has 
a 
Month 
to 
Forget 
The 
Supermarket 
made 
the 
headlines 
for 
all 
the 
wrong 
reasons 
in 
September. 
Shares 
have 
clumped 
45% 
this 
year 
and 
recently 
became 
embroiled 
in 
a 
scandal 
and 
was 
forced 
to 
admit 
it 
had 
overstated 
profits 
by 
£250m
While 
Waitrose 
is 
Winning 
• Waitrose 
meanwhile 
was 
gelng 
involved 
with 
one 
of 
the 
UK’s 
most 
popular 
hashtags 
to 
drive 
engagement 
on 
Twiber 
And 
they 
seem 
to 
be 
doing 
well 
elsewhere 
apparently…
Finance 
is 
Going 
Social 
Finance 
companies 
are 
making 
a 
big 
impact 
on 
Twiber, 
despite 
perhaps 
being 
seen 
as 
less 
suited 
to 
the 
environment 
than 
brands 
in 
other 
categories. 
It 
goes 
to 
show: 
Anyone 
can 
make 
Twiber 
work 
for 
them…
