ABOUT THE REPORT
The automobile industry is one of the most impacted by social media conversations,
which have a significant effect on opinion and purchase. Also, given the capital
intensive nature of the business, and the criticality of new launches, brand owners are
increasingly looking at the social web for marketing and deeper analysis to understand
brand and sales impact.
Moving away from the vanity indices, the 'Blogworks IndiaAuto Social Index' aims to
correlate social metrics, consumer sentiment and sales data to provide marketers and
brand owners with actionable insights.
Through leaderboards that we have created, the report will help auto brands to monitor
their performance vis-à-vis their competitors over a period of time. This monthly report
will show online movements in brand conversations and impact.

~  Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz won double honours at the German Design
Awards 2014, with both the S-Class W222 and the Ener-G-Force LA Auto
Show concept car being among the prize winners. Also, Mercedes-Benz
receiving more than 30,000 orders for the new S-Class drove positive

best photographs of Audi vehicles shot by them, witnessed active
participation from people. This resulted in the brand climbing up to the 2nd
position by the Brand Vibrancy Index in October 2013.

METHODOLOGY
Report Parameters
~  The report currently considers 36 four wheel consumer segment vehicle brands.
~  All publicly available data from channels like Twitter, forums, blogs, mainstream media, YouTube,
Flicker and Facebook were tracked for the month of October 2013. Given that most Facebook
conversations happen on closed personal networks, tracking them is not possible. Hence their
percentage is very tiny in overall mentions.
~  All nameplates of brands featured in the below-mentioned categories were considered. Newly
announced nameplates are also considered in the report.

METHODOLOGY
Report Parameters

∼  All 12 categories of cars were considered for the attribute study. A sample of 1000 mentions each
month were taken for the thematic study.

∼  Publicly available data with the region filter ‘India’ reflected very low volume of mentions on
Facebook. Hence we did not consider Facebook data for the sample.

  • 15. METHODOLOGY Report Parameters ~  The report currently considers 36 four wheel consumer segment vehicle brands. ~  All publicly available data from channels like Twitter, forums, blogs, mainstream media, YouTube, Flicker and Facebook were tracked for the month of October 2013. Given that most Facebook conversations happen on closed personal networks, tracking them is not possible. Hence their percentage is very tiny in overall mentions. ~  All nameplates of brands featured in the below-mentioned categories were considered. Newly announced nameplates are also considered in the report. Category" Sub-category" Small hatchback" Hatchback" Big hatchback" Premium hatchback" Mid-size sedan" Sedan" Executive sedan" Luxury sedan" Super luxury sedan" SUV & offroad" SUV/MUV/LMV and offroad" Premium SUV" MUV/MPV" Other" Sports car" Hybrid/Green" 15
  • 16. METHODOLOGY Report Parameters ∼  All 12 categories of cars were considered for the attribute study. A sample of 1000 mentions each month were taken for the thematic study. ∼  Publicly available data with the region filter ‘India’ reflected very low volume of mentions on Facebook. Hence we did not consider Facebook data for the sample. 16
