I'd like to believe that it is not the case.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe that is why Versus wants to verify everything and only announce the winner on Friday.

So if he does win, and it looks like he will, I hope he lets us know how much coffee was wasted and how many times it took to get the shot right.

Friday is simply the next stage, in this Snowpiercer comp.

Oh wow. So naked lady went from 700-ish votes this morning to over 1600 when I checked again now. Apparently gaining 500-odd in about 5 minutes.

 

Honestly Versus, I understand that you've done this to further market your brand and/or sponsor, but when you say the most creative photo is going to win, this isn't the way you determine the winner.

 

Rather be upfront and say that the top 9 will go down to a popularity contest. Kind of pleased I didn't get picked for the final 9, as I probably would still have had only like 8 likes in the end.

 

Edit: When you normally get 50-100 likes, and suddenly have 1000 likes on a photo just for a comp, something is wrong.

Versus is still a young company.

 

They will learn about volume vs targeted based marketing.

 

I would rather have 10 CIOs who actually engage, follow our Twitter account than 10 000 people who know nothing about PAS software....

how does this work?

 

so basically for $10US you can buy 1000 likes, to win a R26k coffee machine?!

 

but stupid social media popularity contests are silly, should just pick the best of the top 9 - they are all rad!

For my better half we have to chose "influencers" to interact with for the largest cosmetic house in SA. Since I know that Pure Savage Instagram, twitter is 100% organic we use that as a good base. 

 

If your engagement is below 8-10% of followers, probably bought followers. So we look at average likes and x10 normally to get actual following. Use average as people cannot always buy likes on every post. 

 

We get around 10-20% engagement depending on the photo. 

 

Basically if you do worse than Pure Savage you dont get stuff :P

Looking at her IG account, she averages between 50 and 100 likes per post. There was one of 290 odd also a Coffee Son one.

 

A random picture of a coffee machine now has 1610 likes..... 

 

What makes it even worse, is that the girl who is tagging everybody she knows in this post is Jurgen's wife..... WOW, thats not cool.

Ja, having the Mrs of the owner of the brand rooting for a winner... hmmmm 

 

It does not make sense her massive jump. Even a promoted gram would not get that kind of return. Would have expected 600 max.

 

Its not even a special photo that would be popular... hmmm

To be honest, both the top okes are dodge.... more than double their following in likes? looks like bought likes to me. Sort knew this would happen, that and they have not delivered the coffee socks to by LBS yet....

That still doesn't bring me to the top 9 list. Is there a link?

Just click on the latest and scroll down, then just spot the ones with over 1000.

 

Versus socks the page had a post showing all 9, but no link to profiles
