Top Indian Brands On Facebook [June 2013 ]

Social media analytics company Social Bakers has released a report revealing the top brands on Facebook for fans and engagement in India. 

Vodafone Zoozoos is at number one on the list followed by Tata Docomo, Nokia India and Samsung Mobile India.

No wonder Vodafone's audience connects with an entertaining animated character more than plain text and images. What is commendable is that the Vodafone ZooZoo page has more fans than the Vodafone India page.

Tata Docomo lost its first position and is now second on the list. It not the market leader in the Telecom sector, but it is doing an awesome job in the online space. Tata Docomo had also adopted the world’s first CRM powered “hyper-personalized” facebook advertising model.

Nokia, Samsung Mobile India, Kingfisher and Pepsi are renowned for their active social media campaigning, which, have clearly benefited these brands. Pepsi, for example, ran various IPL related campaigns earlier this year where as Kingfisher is running its year long ‘digital only’ music program. 

The 5 brands who got the highest amount of post engagement are as follows:

1. Knorr India
2. Philips India
3. Kitkat
4. Amity University
5.  Lamborghini India

The report also revealed 3 most popular posts on Facebook (unsurprisingly, two out of three were by Vodafone Zoozoos). Their creative and engaging content on the page, offers and contests have helped maintain their fan growth and engagement. They were the most engaging Facebook page for October 2012 and had the most engaging posts for January & February 2013, as measured by SocialBakers.

It is interesting to note that 76% of Indian users are males.  49% of users are fall in the age group of 18-24 years. This is followed by the age group 25-34 years that has 27% of users.
