How to become a recommended brand

We here at Smartson are professionals when it comes to recommendations – and so are you. We are faced with recommendations every day; from the supermarket to the dentist or through the digital medium. We can easily get tips on how to fry cheese puffs, how to create Instagram friendly breakfasts and where you can find the best wines. Still, it’s your best friend that you trust the most when it comes to a recommendation.

Case

Volkswagen Passat Alltrack to perform a social test

Volkswagen allows families to create their own experiences with the latest version of the bestseller Passat Alltrack. The goal is to reach new audiences, create credible recommendations and follow the consumer’s journey – both through creating an interest on social media as well as carrying out rewarding test drives at retailers. Today we meet with Petter Mååg, Head of Digital at Volkswagen, who is just about to start an exciting campaign carried out in the Stockholm area with Smartson.

New study shows increased awareness of crowdscore

Smartson aim to be the leading actor in SRM (Social Recommendation Marketing) and to have a crowdscore (symbol of recommendation) that consumers are familiar with. We conduct annual surveys of this awareness to be able to validate our position with our users and consumers. This year’s YouGov-study shows that Smartson’s awareness continues to grow. On average, 37,8 percent are familiar with Smartson in Sweden - the highest awareness is within the young families section where 60 percent have good insight into Smartson as a brand.
