Social media marketing has gained attention from marketers due to the growing number of social media users. Marketers around the globe have a serious concern over how to utilize social media as a successful marketing tool. Many of them show a lack of understanding of the essential feature of social media and effective social media marketing strategies, which brings about a higher chance of social media marketing failures. Analyzing the failure cases of social media marketing is vital because it provides rich insights for marketing experts who have difficulty in developing effective social media marketing strategies. Therefore, this study conducted multiple case studies by selecting five failure cases of social media marketing which we defined as paradigmatic social media marketing failures which happened in the last five years in South Korea. From the case studies, we derived five successful social media marketing strategies. This study has a theoretical implication because it is the first to suggest effective social media marketing strategies based on the analysis on social media marketing failure cases. It also has a practical implication since it proposes specific social media marketing strategies which can help facilitate successful social media marketing.

Social media marketing has gained attention from marketers because of the growing number of social media users. Considering the unique context of each company or organization behind the marketing is necessary when choosing and applying various social media marketing strategies to ensure achievement of better business performance. However, previous studies have focused on context-specific marketing strategies. Accordingly, this study aims to develop context-specific social media marketing strategies. In this study, we first develop a conceptual framework with two items, namely, brand awareness and business orientation of an organization, as criteria, and classify the framework into four contexts. We then propose context-specific social media marketing strategies for each of the contexts. We examine the framework and proposed social media marketing strategies based on multiple case studies. The primary contribution of this study is our context-specific social media marketing strategies.

This study examines the relationship between social media marketing and brand loyalty through brand trust. Respondents were drawn from customers of McDonald's, Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. For this study, 130 questionnaires were distributed and data were analyzed using the Structure Equation Model (SEM) version 22 of the AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure) application. The results showed that social media marketing had an impact on increasing McDonald's brand trust and brand loyalty. Brand trust influences brand loyalty and brand trust can mediate the influence of social media marketing on McDonald's brand loyalty. The findings prove that brand trust can mediate the effect of social media marketing on customer loyalty to McDonald's brand. These results can be explained by the fact that marketing strategies through social media marketing, such as making it easy for customers to get information related to McDonald's on social media, can contribute to customer trust and that trust is formed because McDonald's always pays attention to the quality of the products offered. Brand trust can mediate the influence of social media marketing on customer loyalty to McDonald's brand. This means that information related to McDonald's on social media is proportional to the quality of the product offered.

기업들이 온라인 마케팅 채널로 SNS를 이용하고 있으며 나아가 소셜을 통한 고객관계관리(소셜CRM)의 영역으로 발전시키고 있는 추세이다. 이처럼 사회 전반적으로 소셜 미디어를 통한 기업들의 마케팅이 활발한 상황이지만 국내 어학 브랜드들의 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동은 브랜드 특성에 따라 상이한 상태이다. 본 연구는 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동의 구성 요소 중 정보성, 콘텐츠 적합성, 최신성이 브랜드 자산과 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동의 구성 요소들은 브랜드 자산에 유의한 영향을 미치며 그 영향력은 최신성, 콘텐츠 적합성, 정보성 순이었다. 둘째, 브랜드 자산과 소비자 구매의도에서도 유의한 영향관계가 있으며, 자녀유무에 따라 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 어학원 소셜 미디어 마케팅에 관한 기초 연구 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이며 어학원 소셜 미디어 마케팅에 관한 학술적인 자료가 충분하지 않은 현 상황에서 향후 후속 연구에 이론적인 방향성을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
