Our goal is to

build deep

and authentic

relationships

with our

customers.

Page 5: BlogWell New York Social Media Case Study: Outback Steakhouse, presented by Ken Bott & Dan Holm

Relationships happen

between human people

— not between “corporate

people” and human

people.

Page 6: BlogWell New York Social Media Case Study: Outback Steakhouse, presented by Ken Bott & Dan Holm

Every customer

interaction is an

opportunity to build a

deeper relationship.

@KLG614: Show of hands... who decided

to ditch previous dinner plans and go to

@Outback for dinner tonight instead??

There is oozing

passion for the brand

from our customers.

Page 8: BlogWell New York Social Media Case Study: Outback Steakhouse, presented by Ken Bott & Dan Holm

What if we ignited this passion and

starting surprising our super fans

with Outback gifts they could use or

give to others?

We’ve given away over 300 #OutbackSurprises to our super

fans.

1 story in particular blew us away…

1 tweet was the start of a powerful

relationship.

“Better priorities this time...last night's

@Outback Special (to go) fueled this

morning's 5-mile run.”

For Dave’s 40th Birthday, instead of

sending him 1 present. We sent him

40.

To give away to 40

people…

Dave’s passion for Outback was stronger than

we ever anticipated.

What we learned:

1. Customers crave a truly authentic

relationship with brands.

2. This relationship cannot be

automated with “tools”.

3. Customers who are empowered

will take action on behalf of the

brand.
