Vodafone and Twitter –a growing partnership
Vodafone India is currently one of the largest and engaging brands in Twitter with over 95,000 followers. As a brand, Vodafone has always been at the forefront of new media, and its presence on Twitter has been built on providing great service and creating medium-specific activities.
Very early on, Vodafone recognized Twitter’s inherent, conversational dynamism and natural fit with the mobile medium. Vodafone has been one of the pioneering customer service brands in India with a dedicated team that listens, monitors and ensures speedy resolution of customer queries.
In keeping with its brand philosophy of engaging its followers with engaging content & activities, Vodafone has created multiple Twitter activities to increase brand affinity.
