Page 2: Wildfire Corporate Brochure

WILDFIRE HELPS BRANDS DRIVE BUSINESS RESULTSSocial networks like Facebook and Twitter create powerful opportunities for brands

to engage with consumers. But to harness the full value, you need a robust platform

that lets you create, manage, and optimize your social media presence. That’s what

Wildfire is all about. We provide software and services that have helped more than

16,000 companies drive social marketing success across five key business objectives:

1. Build brand awareness and generate word of mouth. Through the Wildfire platform,

brands are building brand awareness and creating buzz with unprecedented speed

and impact.

2. Capture leads and consumer data. For many brands, lead generation is the #1

reason for using Wildfire. By running a promotion on Facebook, for example,

marketers can capture consumer contact information and profile data.

3. Engage consumers in an ongoing dialogue. Wildfire enables brands to plug into

social media as an always-on communication channel, allowing them to engage

with consumers and show their personality in an authentic way.

4. Amplify marketing reach and impact. By using Wildfire to integrate social media

into their entire marketing strategy, brands turbocharge their marketing across all

channels, including print, broadcast, digital, and in-store.

5. Drive sales. Beyond creating awareness and buzz, many brands use Wildfire to drive

incremental sales. Common tactics include the use of coupons, discounts, and other

special offers to drive sales through online and offline channels.

On Twitter, they follow celebrities, causes, and other interests. On LinkedIn, they maintain professional contacts. On Pinterest, they pin items about products they like or intend to buy. On Google+, they engage with circles of friends. On YouTube, they watch videos of their favorite performers. Wildfire enables brands to manage their social presence and engage with consumers across all these channels through a single, unified system.
