Executive Summary
Social media has become an integrated part of everyday communications, and has
revolutionized the way companies connect with its customers. Understanding the demographic,
psychographic, geographic and behavioral characteristics in the consumer market, can help to
define influencers and advocates for the brand.
As DeMers suggests, using social media to build brand loyalty with customers requires
understanding customers’ wants and needs. Companies can do so by strategically marketing to
the target audience and actively listening to their feedback, it can help the brand to “earn a
reputation for quality and responsiveness” (DeMers, 2013).
This paper will look at the Energizer Bunny presence in Social Media and the potential
the brand has to increase its awareness, develop a community of brand advocates, drive website
traffic, and in turn increase sales and revenue.

Introduction
Since 1989, the Energizer Bunny has been an iconic element of the Energizer brand
representing the “boundless energy and innovation - that's positivenergy™” (About The Bunny.,
n.d.). The Energizer Bunny campaign was originally created to “one-up the already firmly
established Duracell bunny in the highly lucrative rabbit/battery market” (Culkin, 2011).
“Intended as a one-time parody,” the cool pink bunny with sunglasses soon became a popular
pop-culture icon describing the long-lasting batteries that keep on going and going and going….
(The Advertising Century, 1999).
Creating a social media strategy that fits best for the Energizer Bunny will require to have
a better understanding of the unique purpose and use of the wide-range of platforms, in order to
“select those that offer the best potential for reaching your ideal audience and broadcast the type
of media” (Levy, 2013).
Opportunity
In 2009, the Energizer Bunny went social and – through the Energizer Bunny timeline on
the Energizer.com website – fans were encouraged to follow the energized hop adventures of the
Bunny (About The Bunny., n.d.). Energizer currently has two different social account brands,
one for the Energizer brand that focuses on the business and operations of the company, and one
for the Energizer Bunny that was originally created to deliver more fun and entertaining content
(Washenko, 2014).
Overall, the personality of the Energizer Bunny has a tremendous opportunity to
strengthen the brand by further capitalizing on the Energizer Bunny character to deliver the
6. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
6
message of the brand because “mascots are naturally a better fit for mobilizing fans,”
(Washenko, 2014).
Currently, the Energizer Bunny social presence is only on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
Periscope, Flickr, and Google+ but not as active or engaging as it could be. There is a huge
opportunity to develop a group of brand advocates and evangelist among Millennials and up and
coming generations by fully embracing the fun and quirky personification of the brand.
Current Social Media Channels
Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/EnergizerBunny/
The current Facebook page has about 364,135 likes since the account was first opened in
2009, exactly 20 years later when the Energizer Bunny was first introduced.
7. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign

According to its Facebook page Short Description, “you’ll find humor & personality
that’s kept the Energizer Bunny going for 20+ yrs. Our philosophy: we can better the world
through our products, programs & passion, that's positivenergy™!” (Energizer Bunny –
Facebook, n.d).
The overall look of the page does not give much distinctiveness between the Energizer
company page and the Energizer Bunny page, both pages have the same cover and profile
photos, making it seem like it is more about pushing a product rather than allowing for the
personality of the Bunny to shine.
8. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
8
The company’s posts are so sporadic, its last post was on February 12, 2016 and the one
before was on August 5, 2015.
The inconsistency in the company’s posting rate is also reflected in the audience
engagement and content. Some posts would have over 13K likes with over 1K shares, while
others barely make it to 16 likes and 3 shares.
The community engagement also varies from people sharing about the outreach programs
sponsored by the Energizer Bunny to mostly complaints, and unfortunately it does not seem like
the page is very engaged to respond back to the comments made by its audience.
9. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign

Twitter
https://twitter.com/EnergizerBunny
The Twitter account has currently 8565 followers and since the account was opened in
2009, it has tweeted only about 1,388 times.
The about section of the page describes it as a “Celebrity Spokesbunny - America's
favorite pink, flip-flop wearin', shade sportin', never stoppin' Energizer Bunny” (Energizer
Bunny – Twitter, n.d.).
Much like Facebook, its content post rate is so sporadic, the last tweet was made on
November 25, 2015. Surprisingly, the only two consistent hashtags used (although used
sporadically) are #thatspositiveenergy and #PoweringSafety which are often used by the main
Energizer accounts to refer to its batteries and to the “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery”
campaign. But unfortunately, even when the company seems to sort of consistently use the same
hashtags, the account does not show much listening to try to engage its audience in conversation
since most of its posts are one way.
10. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign

YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/user/energizerbunny
With only 126 subscribers and only 71,550 views, the YouTube account This is one of
the least used accounts by the Energizer Bunny. The company joined the social network on
March 2, 2006, and its oldest video traces back to 5 years ago, a PSA for safety.
The account currently shows 49 published videos, most of them showing the engagement
of the Energizer Bunny in the community. The last video in the account was published on
October 28, 2014.
Once again, the engagement has been almost none. Under the discussion tab two people
posted comments three years ago and none of them were responded or acknowledged to say the
least. The lack of engagement could potentially be a source of a negative PR crisis in the future.

Google +
https://plus.google.com/u/0/114790006708989276319/
https://plus.google.com/u/0/105368916374725262472/
Looks like there were two accounts created representing the Energizer Bunny, one of
them has 3 followers with 8,492 page views; while the other one has 0 followers and only 5,823
views.
None of them have acquired a personalized Google+ url, which makes it harder to
identify which is the official page.
After looking at each of the accounts, the overall strategy for the three more active
networks seems to be only one-way. The content, other than engaging and entertaining, appears
to be an afterthought of recycled content mainly generated to promote products rather than
engage its audience. There is also a lack of distinctiveness between the main Energizer account
and the Energizer Bunny, failing to deliver the brand promise of the personification of the
character.

Competitor
According to Daoud, “When it comes to social media marketing, researching your
competition not only keeps you apprised of their activity, it gives you an idea of what’s working
so you can integrate those successful tactics into your own efforts” (2014).
The two top competitors for the Energizer Bunny are Duracell and Rayovac. All three
companies specialize in selling battery products, and while the product is similar, the content
delivered through its social sites differ drastically as well as its number of followers.

Duracell
Duracell’s overall content reflects “The Hero” archetype style by promoting “themselves
as good quality and superior to their competition,” after all “when your product is a power
supply, your message needs to be powerful too” (Lindsay, 2015).
The official Facebook page is easy to recognize because of the blue circle with a check
mark next to the company’s name that recognizes the page as a verified page.
The company is also present on Twitter and YouTube. In addition, the level of audience
engagement is clearly higher than its competitors. Scripted dialogues are also set in place to deal
with complaints from customers.
14. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
14
Duracell’s video content sets itself apart by the use of good storytelling and high quality
production. Its overall content strategy seems to be more directed to address current trends to
highlight its products.
Rayovac
The overall branding and content for Rayovac reflects “The Regular Guy” archetype that
“appreciates quality and dependability” while embracing honesty and dependability (Lindsay,
2015).
Rayovac’s Facebook and Twitter accounts are both verified pages, and while its
YouTube account is not, all of them have done a great job at connecting with its audience.
15. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
15
The company generates brand advocates and engagement in its networks through
contests, questions and giveaways. In addition, its #FanFriday giveaway creates a great platform
to highlight its customers, make the brand a lot more personalized and generate even more brand
advocates.
Rayovac does a great job at engaging its audience with a mix of content between
promotional items, questions, contests, and even highlighting customers that after experiencing
the connection with the brand can have the potential to become brand advocates.
16. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
16
Audience
According to The Pew Research Center, “65% of adults now use social networking sites
– a nearly tenfold jump in the past decade” (Perrin, 2015). In social media, like in any other
tactic in the marketing roam, reaching the right people begins by defining the company’s target
audience. According to John Hall, “Without an audience, your content can’t have an impact”
(Hall, 2014). Defining the target audience will help the organization to choose the right platform
to communicate and develop “genuine, human relationships with customers and prospects.”
(Yerian, 2013).
Females
Michael Silverstein and Kate Sayre suggest that “Women now drive the world economy”
by contributing to almost $13 trillion to the $20 trillion in annual consumer spending. In
addition, the article also suggests that “Women make the decision in the purchases of 94% of
home furnishings…92% of vacations…91% of homes… 60% of automobiles…51% of
consumer electronics” (Silverstein, and Sayre, 2009). These numbers support the idea of
focusing on females as one of the segmented groups.
Generation Y/Millennials, MaritalStatus, Raceand Income
The Generation Y or most commonly known as the millennial generation – born between
1982 and 2,000 – now account for “83.1 million and represent more than one quarter of the
nation’s population,” exceeding the baby boomers (US Census, 2015). A survey by the Urban
Land Institute Foundation suggests that among the millennial population: Gender: 51% are
female and 49% male; Race: 74% white, 16% black and 10% other; Marital Status: 64% single,
34% married and 2% Divorced or widowed; and 76% have a car (Lachman, and Brett, 2013).
17. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
17
The survey also found out that Gen-Yers’ Household Income accounts for 53% between
$25,000-$74,000.
19. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
19
In summary, the target audience for the Energizer Bunny Social Media Plan consist of
female creative entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 to 35. These females have artistic and
creative tendencies, and fall into the middle to upper-middle class income range. While many of
them are either single or married and with kids, they have an independent spirit, and also have
active social lives.
Social Network Participation
Millennials are no strangers to social media, in fact, it is one of the largest user groups.
According to RealityMine, “Millennials and women are generally the most active social media
users” especially on Facebook and Pinterest (RealityMine, 2015).
Social media is part of the millennials’ digital life, this is how this generation gathers
information and connects with one another. A survey by the American Press Institute suggests
that “76 percent of these Facebook Millennials cite seeing what their friends are talking about
20. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
20
and what’s happening in their friends’ lives, as a main reason they turn to Facebook. A clear
majority (58 percent) cite using Facebook to find things that entertain them, such as funny lists,
articles, or videos (American Press, 2015).
Although historically, women use social media more than men, a report from the Pew
Research Centers shares that LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, Digg or Slashdot are not the most
popular networks among women (Anderson, 2015).
21. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
21
In addition, while the batteries business seems like it is losing power, Energizer has
introduced several new products to stay relevant to the demanding energy market. It’s latest
product, Energizer EcoAdvanced is “A battery made with recycled batteries” (The Energizer®
EcoAdvanced® Story, n.d.). Because of the eco-friendly nature of the product, it has the
potential to connect with millennials that are the “most willing to pay extra for sustainable
offerings” (Nielsen, 2015). In addition, the report shares that “brands that establish a reputation
for environmental stewardship among today’s youngest consumers have an opportunity to not
only grow market share but build loyalty among the power-spending Millennials of tomorrow”
(Nielsen, 2015).
Another of the commonalities between the Energizer Bunny and the target audience is
actually their generation. The Energizer Bunny was introduced in 1989 when the mocking
commercial appeared on television for the first time. The remarkable character of the brand soon
became a cultural icon that almost every millennial was familiar with.

Objectives and Measurement
The Energizer Bunny presence in Social Media has a lot of potential by providing the
brand opportunities to increase its brand awareness, develop and community of brand advocates,
drive website traffic, and in turn increase sales and revenue. The time and effort invested into
each of the designated platforms will determine the company’s social ROI; which in turn will
allow the company to strengthen “a relationship between a brand and its consumers” (Gibs,
2014).
By focusing in specific objectives and measurements, will allow the company to better
determine the platforms that would work best to accomplish the company’s overall goals and
strategically develop content that targets its intended audience.

Strategies Overview
Through the use of contests, photos, videos, wall topics and questions, the Energizer
Bunny will engage its users and create an environment where Likes, Shares, Comments, Pins,
Retweets, +1, and Favorites are a common occurrence (Teck Kong, 2014). The company must
review analytics once a week to understand the best times users are connecting with the brand
and make adjustments as needed. According to Ian Cleary, “Having the data means you can
analyze it even further and maybe start changing the data to predict future results” (Cleary,
2016).

Analyzing Tools: Hashtags, Facebook Insights, Hootsuite, Social Mention
Platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google +
Strategies Overview
The unique personality of the Energizer Bunny will be used as the main brand identity
for this goal. A designated hashtag will allow us to push the brand while creating conversations
with the users. In addition, Social Mention will be used to track any conversations that use
keywords such as technology, bunnies, energizer, science, how-to, etc. By listening to such
conversations the company will be able to make a connection with the person that mentioned one
of the designated keywords and begin a conversation. In addition, Hootsuite will be used to
“create a content schedule” to “develop the brand story” and begin to create conversation
through consistent posts (Kushner, 2016).
ImproveSEO by 20% within12-months.
Metrics: Page views, unique visitors, keyword ranking and length of visits

Strategies Overview
According to Chloe Mason Gray, “While social shares may or may not affect a
webpage’s position in search listings, your social profiles definitely influence the content of your
search results” (Gray, n.d.). For this reason, is important to ensure consistency in the company’s
24. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
24
bio by using the same keywords across all the social network platforms. Inbound links will also
be used to link back to the content. And on the website, “pre-populated media sharing buttons for
Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Facebook with links to the website” will be added
(Redsicker, 2014). The measurement of this goal will be through Google Analytics, this will also
allow the organization to identify “what social media outlet sends the best traffic” and look at the
most used social media traffic sources (Lockard, 2012).
Channels
Currently, the Energizer Bunny social presence is available on Facebook, Twitter,
YouTube, Periscope, Flickr, and Google+ but not as active or engaging as it could be. The many
different platforms, however, have spread the brand too thin, hindering the brand image across
all platforms. According to Matei Gavril, “Opting for multiple platforms at one time will
negatively impact your brand since you won’t be able to reach your potential audience” (2016).
In order to create the best social media strategy for the Energizer Bunny, we will have to
start by having a better understanding of the unique purpose and use of the wide-range of
platforms. This will allow us to “select those that offer the best potential for reaching your ideal
audience and broadcast the type of media” (Levy, 2013).
Facebook
Facebook is one of the most powerful networks to “build brand loyalty and reputation”
(Powers, 2015). According to data by Digital Insights, Facebook has 1.28 billion monthly active
users and counting (Ajmera, 2014).
This platform is perfect for the Energizer Bunny because according to the American
Press Institute, “88% of Millennials get news from Facebook” (American Press, 2015). However,
25. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
25
in order to build trust among the current and future audiences, the quality, quantity and diversity
of the content would have to be improved dramatically. The content on the Energizer Bunny
page would have to be more personalized to highlight the actual personality of the character
rather than relying on the Energizer products only.
In addition, by utilizing Facebook as one of the main platforms will allow the company to
increase its brand engagement, brand exposure and improve SEO.
Twitter
This platform has revolutionized the way people communicate with only 140 characters.
Because the primary purpose of this platform is to “share breaking news and quick updates,
promotes new products, content, or brand contests, collects instant feedback from your
audience,” this is the perfect platform for the Energizer Bunny to include in its Social Media
Channels portfolio (Powers, 2015).
This platform will allow the brand to reach the intended audience because as Buffer
explains that “if you are interested in a younger, tech-savvy crowd” then Twitter is a most to
have (Lee, 2014).
While the Energizer Bunny already uses Twitter, content will have to be improved and
the amount of posts will need to increase to start generating engagement and meet the proposed
objectives.
Instagram
Currently the Energizer Bunny is not present in Instagram, however, opening an account
in this particular channel will allow for the character to visually display the brand while
providing content that can overlap with Twitter (Manafy, 2014). In addition, this platform will
help to target the intended audience because according to Business Insider, “Instagram's user
26. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
26
base is heavily dominated by women, something that has more often been associated with
Pinterest” (Smith, 2014).
Pinterest
A great platform to develop and increase brand engagement is Pinterest because this
network is visually driven and targeted to customers that collect images to inform their purchase
decisions (Manafy, 2014). Most of its users are “women, educated, with good incomes” and “it
generates more referral traffic than Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit and Google+ combined” (Frances,
2014).
This network is a must to include in the strategy since the main gender for our audience is
creative females.
Google+
For the SEO and brand exposure objectives, Google+ is a great network to use. The
platform has 540 million monthly active users, almost double of Twitter users (Ajmera, 2014).
Google+ compatibility with YouTube and Google Hangouts makes it ideal for content sharing
especially among “tech ad engineering companies as well as marketing individual (Scherer,
2014). The post on this platform can be a combination of repurposed content from the other
platforms.
Vine
Vine’s six-second videos provide the opportunity to show the company’s products in
action, increasing brand awareness, while entertaining the audience. In order to be effective the
posts have to be creative and sometimes that can be a challenged with only six-seconds (Miller,
n.d.). This network will provide the brand a great way to “highlight brand advocates” (Hines,
2013).
27. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
27
Editorial Calendar
In order to reach maximum exposure, each network will have different times when
content will be shared, and since almost 48% of the population lives in the Eastern Time zone,
the schedule will be based on EST unless otherwise noted (Zarrella, n.d.).
28. Energizer Bunny Social Media Campaign
28
Each network will be strategically used to cover each day of the week to generate
ongoing content throughout all the different platforms. All of the networks for the exception of
Facebook will have a minimum of two posts per week, and the times have been determined by
compiled research done by CoSchedule (Neidlinger, 2015). Since Facebook has the largest
audience with over 1.59 billion monthly active users, this particular network will be the only one
with daily posts (Statista, n.d.).
The calendar will display each of the networks in a color-coded format, along with the
proposed posting time and date. For this particular proposal example, the campaign will begin
running throughout the month of November to take advantage of the particular holidays of that
month such as elections and Thanksgiving.
Creative Samples
The Energizer Bunny brand will share a series of fun and lighter posts that will reflect the
personality of the character. From contests, quotes, entertainment, to capitalizing in current
events, the common threat of the content should be fun and engaging to fully leverage it to drive
the most engagement - and therefore leads - for their business (Tjepkema, L. (2015). The posts
will be supported with either graphics or videos, because according to Jeff Bullas “Photos create
a lot of interaction along with quotes” (2011).
For visual consistency, the graphics will include the Energizer Bunny in the lower bottom
of the graphic to help the consumer easily identify with the brand. In addition, the use of
hashtags will be key to increase the “potential to boost the number of people talking about the
brand” (Guerrero, 2015).

Conclusion
The Energizer Bunny’s personality is energetic, fun, smart and never stops going. Mr.
Bunny’s personality has the potential to create engaging and compelling content to reach the
intended target audience across different social media platforms. Each platform specifically
curated content will allow the brand to leverage the power of story-telling through images, video
and hashtags to increase brand awareness and encourage user engagement. “You have to, in a
way, earn it. You do so by using social networking the way it’s supposed to be used – by
clicking, interacting, sharing and giving exposure to others” (Darrell, 2013).
Based on research, the Energizer Bunny’s new target audience consist of creative female
entrepreneurs that want to make a difference with the work they do. By focusing on targeting a
more segmented social group, the new target audience is “much more likely to have a strong
attachment to these social identities than they are to strongly identify with a specific stage of
life” (Patel, 2015).
Consequently, the proposed strategy will focus on three specific objectives to help
position the brand in the minds of the intended target audience, and increase brand exposure,
audience engagement and SEO rankings (Smith, 2013).
