At Spiral16, we help brands discover the online conversations that are the most influential or “loud” for companies and brands. After discovering the sources that are most influential, the Spiral16 analytics team makes recommendations on ways to utilize the data from our research for business purposes. The following slides contain the overview of the recommendations from our data team. These slides will be explained in greater detail during the post-report phone meeting. Recommendations from Spiral16

  28. AIRBUS BRAND TO BECOME THE ONLINE RESOURCE FOR INFORMATION AIRBUS Recommendations The Airbus website and other official Airbus brand resources were not influential or “loud” online. Conversations about Airbus are happening online but the official brand communication is not being heard above the noise of the Internet. Airbus has a significant opportunity to increase the brand visibility and brand conversations online. Airbus can become the center of the information for the company online by implementing some very simple changes, some of which we have outline in the next slides. Airbus Opportunity

  29. COMMUNICATE MORE USING VIDEO AND PICTURES ONLINE AIRBUS Recommendations Airbus currently has a rich library of video and photos on the website. But the website videos and images are not being shared online as frequently as they could be. Increase Use of “Web Friendly” Video - Video was a small portion of the online activity for Airbus overall but the video results ranked high for the brand. There are conversations already happening about Airbus aircraft in video form-- it makes sense for the Airbus company to join in. Make sure all videos for Airbus can be easily shared via YouTube. YouTube is a powerful platform for the aircraft industry and it is one of the fastest growing search engines. Mobile Video - Use more video in the social media communication about Airbus. Mobile apps such as SHOUTZ are easy to use via iPhone or Android phone. Users can instantly shoot video then share it online. Mobile video is an excellent way to share the excitement of a new plane taking off or to show the view from the cockpit of a A380. Airbus Opportunity
