Retailers scored just 10% on average, with even the retailers at the top of the table – Thomas Cook (32%), easJet (24%) and Debenhams (22%) – failing to score anywhere near top marks. Only 52% of retailers have a blog on their website and 12% a YouTube channel.

It was launched at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) about a month ago. I was there on the day before launch, heading up to Brisbane, and noticed the newly installed check-in poles under cover. On the following day I was there again, horribly early to head to Melbourne, and the system was live. I'd been sent a new smart card and set of luggage tags a week before. The tags, and what looked like the packaging they arrived in, are designed by one of Australia's finest designers Marc Newson , and contain sensors that 'lock' my identity to the bags, meaning they the bags can just be dropped off rather than manually checked-in. The tags are robust, and with pleasingly firm, rubbery tactility, like heavy-ish discs and with a simple loop to attach to bag handles. http://www.cityofsound.com/blog/2011/01/next-generation-check-in-qantas.html

It is being called by many the best use of social media ever, and Google’s CFO even called it “The future of marketing” . If you somehow did not hear about the brilliant campaign, let me sum it up for you. Isaiah Mustafa, AKA, “The Old Spice Guy” had a commercial, which you can see below, that became an instant hit.
