31. “After accruing the initial 120 participants and an
additional 144 engaged influencers, the word of mouth
power kicked in, as those individuals, proud to have
“earned” such special treatment, generated more than
4,600 tweets about the new route. This, in turn, led
to more than 7.4 million impressions and
coverage in top blogs and news outlets like the L.A.
Times and CNN Money. And all it took was
making those original 120 participants feel special.”

Rules for Ford Social Media Engagement
At Ford Motor Company, our social media strategy involves connecting our consumers with our employees in the digital space
whenever possible, and providing value to them in the process. As a result, we have specific rules for online engagement, which,
amongst other variables, involves abiding by the Word of Mouth Marketing Association’s Code of Ethics.
Ford will:
Always request that our social media influencers be transparent and disclose their relationship, as well as anything they’ve
received as a result of that relationship with Ford
Insist on honesty of opinion. We want both positive and negative reviews of our vehicles
Offer influencers engaging experiences that are worth talking about. We won’t be cutting and pasting press releases into e-mails
in hopes someone will post them
Always carefully target our outreach to ensure that we aren’t “spamming” anyone with unwanted messages
Listen carefully to suggestions and concerns
Compensate influencers for consulting or other duties they do for Ford. This compensation will solely be for their time as an
advisor and will not include an expectation that they will write about the project – favorably or unfavorably
Apologize quickly for any mistakes we make. No one is perfect and we are sure that we will make a misstep in our efforts to
engage with the social web, but we will be sure to learn from our mistakes
Share this policy with all influencers we work with
