Chapter

introduction.

I t seems like social media is everywhere, and every marketer is clamoring
to get in the game. And it’s no surprise why: the time most global consumers
spend on social media has grown over 250% in just the past two years.
Therefore it is becoming more and more evident that companies must
engage with individuals on these multiple channels. The difficulty now is that RockinG it on
facebook.
one company may have to maintain and engage its audience on three, four,
five, or even more social networks at once. This can be a daunting task if you
aren’t a so-called social media expert.

But that doesn’t mean you simply ignore social media. According to Gartner,
the forecast for global social media revenue will be 29 billion by 2015. Clearly
there’s value to being present, and effectively using, these platforms.

At HubSpot, we are huge fans of taking inspiration from companies we think
are killing it online. To help inspire your creative juices, here is our collection
of 101 companies rocking it on social media. We hope you can pick up a
lesson or two from each company to help build your own social strategy.


www.Hubspot.com


1
SQUARE
Aside from having great
engagement with it’s
businesses, Square does
a wonderful job featuring
its new products and
businesses using their
readers.




2
AMAZON
With a heft 17 million likes,
it’s no secret that Amazon
has a popular Faceook
page. One nice thing
about Amazon is that they
love to engage their fans
with interesting questions
and visual content that link
to relevant products on
their website.




3
Godaddy
One thing you’ll notice
about all of these
examples is that they each
have their customized
profile images and cover
photos. GoDaddy has
a nicely branded set of
images that are directed
connected with their
company name.




4
Tesla
Who doesn’t love a great
looking electric car? Tesla
has a fun and engaging
routine that keeps its fans
entertained. The Friday
Photo features a nice
image of a Tesla vehicle
with a variety of drivers.
Last Friday was a baby
called little Evie and the
image asked for a caption
from its fans.




5
dropbox
I personally love the
cartoonish images that
Dropbox uses to represent
its brand. Aside from
posting informative videos,
Dropbox also posts links
to its APIs and other
helpful services that fans
can utilize.




6
jawbone
Jawbone’s latest project
has been its wearable
fitness tracker known as
the Up. To keep its fans
up-to-date and engaged,
Jawbone has been posting
images and videos of the
Up in action. Companies
focused on selling a
product should always
remember to share that
product out in the “wild”.




7
RED BULL
Another heavy hitter on
Facebook, with 36 million
likes! Red Bull uses its
Facebook to truly sell
the lifestyle. Everything
from the cover photo,
images, videos, and links
all embody the Red Bull
lifestyle.




8
CHIPOTLE
Chiptole starts off by
calling for “likes” right
in its cover photo. Once
you jump into the actual
content, it shares some
pretty fun images and
helpful links like a TED Talk
on eating healthy.




9
GOOGLE
I really love how Google
animates and presents its
assortment of products
and services. They share a
variety of links and create
discussion topics that
draw in fans. Google also
posts statuses and links in
a variety of languages to
engage fans from around
the world.




10
PAYPAL
The cover photo, profile
image, and thumbnails
in the timeline are all
uniform. They post
images and links about
holidays, fun products,
and current events to
keep fans engaged with
an assortment of different
content.




11
VISA
First thing you’ll notice is
the awesome cover photo
and matching logo. Visa
posts everything from
great discounts to pictures
of cats. No company is
above posting images of
cats. Trust us.




12
CURE INTERNATIONAL
Including your website
in the cover photo is an
effective way to draw
some attention to your site
and bring in some traffic.
CURE International also
describes exactly what the
organization does in the
first part of the screen.




13
MCDONALD’S
Nothing like a tasty frozen
beverage to draw my
attention. Good ol’ Mccy
D’s has a tendency to
post appetizing images
of their menu items along
with some pretty funny
commercials.




14
DISNEY
It’s hard not to “like”
anything with Micky
Mouse or Bambi stamped
on it. Disney is smart
in capitalizing on our
childhood memories
and creating some new
ones by sharing its latest
animated shorts.




15
COCA-COLA
Brand consistency is
something that Coke tends
to do quite well. Great
colors, images and witty
questions help them real
in almost 60 million “likes”.
Coke also links its pages
to products that you may
or may not “like.”




16
NUTELLA
Love the stuff. Love the
branding. Nutella has
some great links in its
timeline that set it apart
from some other brands.
They have the “Around the
world” and “Nutiquette”
boxes that draw some
intrigue from its fans.




17
TARGET
That is a seriously
awesome cover image. It
really makes a difference
when a company goes
through the trouble to
actually using a great
cover photo. You would be
surprised with the amount
of companies that use
some stock image or an
enlarged logo to fill that
prime piece of visual real
estate.




18
SKITTLES
A pool full of giant Skittles
and a penguin are always
going to get my attention.
Aside from the creative
cover image, Skittles
includes fun games and
photos featuring those
bright colors that we have
all come to love.




19
CONVERSE
With over a quarter million
people talking about
Converse on Facebook,
you’ve got to wonder what
they are all talking about!
Converse has done a great
job of creating some social
campaigns that feature
their products in everyday
lives, sent in by real
fans. The images show
off nice styles and some
interesting art work.




20
YOUTUBE
YouTube might be a bit
self explanitory. People
love videos, especially
videos that they can share
on Facebook. With the
majority of viral videos
shared on Facebook
coming in from YouTube,
you can figure out why
their rocking out on this
social network.




21
THE CHEESECAKE
FACTORY

We here at HubSpot have
some trouble turning away
sweets. This is particularly
true about cheesecake.
With The Cheescake
Factory, they keep fans
drawn in by offering gift
cards, free cheescake, and
all other cheescake related
goodies that keep us
coming back for more.




22
PUBLIX
Pictures and Polls!
Publix is doing a great
job featuring attractive
images of their stores and
its products as well as
keeping fans engaged with
intersting poll questions.




23
KICKSTARTER
Designed for a community
of entrepreneurs and start
up investors, Kickstarter
keeps its fans engaged
with news about new
projects and opportunities
to invest in.




24
SOUNDCLOUD
If there’s one color
we love, it’s orange.
SoundCloud has creative
and attractive cover photo.
They post information
about new tracks along
with some fun visual
content its fans can share.




25
LEGALZOOM
I can’t imagine its easy
making a legal services
company “fun” on
Facebook, but LegalZoom
seems to do it pretty
well. They feature a nice
photo set called “today
in history” where they
highlight an interesting fact
about that particular day in
history.




26
BURBERRY
Models, fancy clothes, and
fashion shows. Burberry
packs its Facebook page
with great photos of its
new collections and videos
to keep their fans up-to-
date with the latest in
fashion.

Background image
aside, Vogue has a nice
consistent rythme for

MICHAEL KORS
The success of this page
is due to the fact that it is
tweeted by Michael Kors,
the individual, and not the

39
SEOMOZ
The background image
and profile images all
embody the essence of
