Social Media Profile Figure 1.1 • The first keyword we analyzed overtime was “nike.” • We classified this keyword as broad and would generate more feedback. • Through Nov. 5- Nov. 19, “nike” was tweeted at a constant rate. • Minimum fluctuation around 55,000 tweets a day
Social Media Profile Figure 1.2 • Our second keyword “@nike” • This keyword was classified as a tag, being narrow and specific. • Tweets peak high on Nov. 7th • Dips were lowest on Nov. 10th and 11th. • This dip could be the results of: lack of online content, people were more engaged with more interesting content, a product development, or even an event could have occurred.

Competitive Analysis The keywords “nike” and “adidas” were compared in an analytics report. (November 6th- November 20th) • Nike maintained a significant difference in the number of mentions by thousands. • On November 14th Nike’s mentions decreased and Adidas’s mentions increased, similar to a change in social media market share that day. • This happened because Adidas posted a catchy tweet that day, and Nike did not tweet at all. Figure 1.5
Actionable Social Media Insights • Through our monitoring efforts, we suggest the following actionable recommendations for Nike to implement: • In addition to the current Nike twitter accounts, creating 1 or 2 other accounts would increase content posting and sharing by providing another outlet for fans and consumers. Such as: Nike ‘Personality’ Account or Follower Feedback Account. • Continue with the friendly service, 33% of tweets expressed positive sentiments. A suggestion would be to put twitter logos on their in-store employees nametags.
Actionable Social Media Insights • Continued • We would also recommend all the departments such as Communications, Marketing, Customer Service, HR, and R&D/Product Development sent representatives on a regular basis to pitch new concepts and ideas. This will increase materials to use as online content for engagement and feedback.
Conclusion • Nike is a thriving company in the sportswear market and a dominant social media player on Twitter. • As a company, it does well keeping sentiments high and positive in consumers. This is most likely due to great customer service and quality products. • Having constantly over 40,000 daily mentions of the general keyword “nike”is an impressive branding feat for a company.
