We all love a good disaster story, don't we? But how about a good social media disaster story? Social media can be wonderful but it can also go terribly wrong; whether it's Orangutans getting killed for chocolate or BMW crashing and burning on the Avenue, it's sure to create some negative publicity.

Peter, how is BMW doing in the real world, apart from the EA online game - isn't that what really matters?

Sure it's what really matter but they're spending a fortune on traditional advertising when they could have a mega social media campaign for comparative peanuts!

They've disappointed (some) supporters and lost social media face among a significant crowd of potential customers.

With very little effort and some social media imagination they could save themselves a fortune. I think it's sad to miss opportunities.

Love the cars though!

Not so sure I'd consider Empire Avenue just a game, there's a lot of great networking goes on.

Great to hear from you, thanks for your time.

All the very best, Peter
