Uber- Social Listening

 


     I chose Uber because It is one of the companies that come to mind when I think of influential companies in our current market. Uber had a pretty innovative idea and expanded it beyond just transportation but also a food delivery service called Uber Eats. Giving the public the ability to become a deliverer. Uber has mixed reviews some advocating that Uber is effective and convenient while others voice safety concerns. Uber's value proposition lies in its convenience and accessibility within the transportation industry. By leveraging a mobile app platform, Uber connects riders with drivers efficiently, offering a seamless experience of booking, tracking, and payment. Customers appreciate the ease of use and competitive pricing compared to traditional taxi services. What makes Uber particularly intriguing is its disruptive impact on urban transportation norms, challenging established taxi services and introducing new possibilities for both drivers and riders alike. 

On social media platforms, Uber actively promotes its ride-sharing and food delivery services. Through engaging content and promotions, Uber aims to highlight the convenience and reliability of its services, appealing to both potential riders and drivers seeking flexible earning opportunities. However, Uber faces significant marketing challenges, including regulatory scrutiny, competition from local taxi services, and maintaining trust amidst occasional controversies regarding driver behavior and safety. Customer service reviews seem to be inconsistent some being very good and some very bad. A lot of the bad reviews seem to focus on the specific driver versus other aspects of the company or experience. 



In response to customer reviews, Uber has implemented various strategies to improve customer satisfaction and safety. This includes enhancing driver background checks, introducing in-app safety features, and refining customer support mechanisms. Additionally, Uber has focused on transparency and proactive communication to address concerns promptly, demonstrating a commitment to evolving and adapting based on customer feedback. This responsive approach has been crucial in fostering trust and loyalty among its user base amid evolving market dynamics and regulatory landscapes. If I was the brand manager I would be concerned with the fact that a majority of the reviews were either hot or very cold and I would be focusing on why that is. That the customers were either very happy or  extremely unhappy see if I could find a common denominator of those very displeased people and fix it. I learned from this assignment that there are a lot of pieces to make a company successful and a lot of it is trial and error.

"Red bull Gives You Wings"

        I chose to write about Red Bull's marketing slogan "Red bull gives you wings" because I think it has been a very effective marketing strategy and is one to learn from. The slogan was created and has been used by the company since 1992. One of the most popular way they advertise is with commercials featuring animated characters all within the same animated style. Usually big noses and squinty eyes. This distinct animation captures attention because it has some humor and encompesses the metaphor of the energy boost people will experience from the drink giving them "wings."  Since 1992 Red Bull has continued to use this slogan and animated cartoons and they have been broadcasted in over 170 countries. Red Bull is so successful because they understand their target audience is young people either college students studying late or adventurous seeking people looking for that pick me up. So they made sure their product would be sold in areas where this target au
