It includes:

•    A detailed analysis on use of Social Media by both global and Irish food and drink sector brands
•    Crisis management case studies of how food and drink brands have dealt with positive and negative online communications
•    Examples of how food and drink brands have combined food with tourism

Eileen McCabe, Associate at The Ahain Group and report co-author, said “There is huge diversity in the implementation of a strategic, social online presence within the Food and Drink Industry. Those who facilitate long term planning and embrace the digital spectrum have achieved outstanding results whilst those with an online presence but without the benefit of a strategic plan, have yet to achieve the results that await them online.”
