Google Plus Ford

Automaker The First Consumer Brand on New Social Network

So like us you've probably heard the buzz about Google's new social network, Google Plus.  I'm on there and must say it could definitely stick around.  Well, so far no business or brands are on there.  Well except for Ford.    

Yes, Ford was the first official consumer brand to make their way onto Google Plus.  It only makes sense, given that they were named "Marketer of the Year" by Ad Age last year.  Turns out they're embracing the "social" part of social media heavily.  

They already had a photo caption contest and asked for specific feedback.  They asked "what do YOU want from US?"  Who WOULDN'T want to hear/see that from their brand.  

That's not all, they actually are scheduling a hangout, which is essentially a video conference, with their Director of Marketing Communications.  Talk about transparency.  

So far, the site had 1,222 followers as of Saturday morning.  That number should only grow as the network itself continues to grow.  

So give Ford a visit and tell them what you'd like to see. Google Plus wont be open to all businesses for a little while, but when it is you better believe we will be on there.
