My Blog:

Sometime in the past

An unnamed blog post alleging a bad experience at Lemp Brewpub suddenlySpread like wild-fire This, coupled with an amateur response managementand handling of the social conversations by Lemp- further fuelled the angerof the community.

Their was a clear & loud negative perception about Lemp Spread on social web.

Things were bad in June!

Lemp-Key Objectives

Key Objectives

1. To neutralize the negative sentiment on social and reviews platforms2. To create user confidence in the brand 3. Increase overall engagement and reach

dotConverse started work on Lemp Brewpub & Kitchen from July 1st 2013.

Our Craft!

Our ORM Methodology

We started off with creating an ORM policy framework- which included listening & communication strategy, communication face & tone, influencer identification and connect, building consumer confidence, letting users participate in creating a better Lemp and being prepared for a similar future situation

Our Activity Map

We focused on creating various programs, each connecting with one of our ORM objectives, and measured against specific metrics. Our focus was largely Facebook but we leveraged Twitter and YouTube very strategically

Response & Review Platform Management

We responded to everyone and every negative review. We plugged in a new face for Lemp in the form of the other director Akshay Luthria- and won hearts by way of our response strategy, quick action and personalized updates on complaints and suggestions

About 10% detractors reverted back with a positive intent of trying Lemp once again. Most of these are top reviewers and foodies .

Over 250 spam reviews got removed between July & August. Zomato is a very proactive & independent platform and we presented them with our genuine pointers & findings as a part of our

overall ORM strategy which involved listening and identifying patterns of fake or spam looking reviews.

Check-in Programs

Leveraged Facebook check-ins (in-property and in-special events) motivating guests to check-in to Lemp.This created Virality and customer Confidence. Moved from 0 in July to 900 in August

Direct to CEO

A special tab was created for Facebook, where people can interact with the CEO directly.

Guests can write feedback directly from Facebook, and their feedback would go straight to the CEO.

Guests would receive an actionable mail from CEO.

The Resulting Brew!

Overall Opinion Shift

The survey was opened on Facebook, Twitter and was mailed to the past guests. 106 entries were received. Lemp was rated better than the competition on most major attributes and over 55% people

said that they would recommend Lemp to their friends.

Monthly People Talking About

Increased at an impressive rate of over 56% between the peak time in June (crisis time) and end of August 2013

Organic & Viral Reach

The contribution of organic and viral reach in (total reach) increased. This is an important metricTo illustrate that our focus was on igniting organic and unpaid conversations

Likes by Female Fans

Female fan following increased by 64% (May & June compared with July & August)

Average Daily Negative Feedback

While our viral and organic reach increased + the conversation among female audience showed healthy upward trend, the negative feedback on Facebook also showed a clear decreasing trend

between May and August 2013.

ConclusionOn most parameters Lemp is now regaining ground. This does not mean that Lemp is in great health now . They need to strive hard and continue creating social proof of guest endorsement and engagement.

This was a 60 days project only and we stopped working on 31st August 2013

Brands, however, should take these projects for long term, and engrain the best practices in thecompany genetics.
