Excellent read on finding the signals among noise (in so called ‘social media experts’ :) world)
One of the most successful digital/online marketing campaigns in India was Sunsilk Gang of Girls - which was started with an aim of promoting the Miss India pageant sponsored by Sunsilk in 2002 and later turned into a social community platform (with networking , blogs , message boards & chat etc) exclusively for girls to discuss and share content related to beauty,hair, makeover & random stuff etc.This case study report was released by bcwebwise - which handled the implementation of Gang of Girls campaign.
Picture if you will, a collaborative site that runs on two servers, is managed by four people, and has attracted a third of its target demographic within six months of launch. A site that has had 800,000 posts submitted by its users in its short lifetime and has 16 million pageviews/month - and growing.
