In a result we can only hope mirrors this afternoon’s game, Ford overwhelmingly comes away as the favorite in this battle of brands. With 84% of automotive shoppers on Facebook, and 24% of them having used Facebook as a resource for making their vehicle purchase, auto brands are smart to engage in a frequent and timely manner with their fans on Facebook. No company knows this better than Ford, who understands the difference between broadcasting to its fans and conversing with them. Let’s hope Team USA enjoys as comfortable a victory as Ford enjoyed on Facebook in this battle of the brands.
