In our last section, we’ll examine the top 10 services brands on<br />

Facebook and Twitter based on their following. In the services section,<br />

we chose the number two and number three brands for our deep<br />

analysis dive to spice it up a bit. The Facebook leaders in this category<br />

are American Express, Farmers Insurance – our choice for a deep dive,<br />

DirecTV, Live Nation, Visa, Ticketmaster, UPS, Ancestry.com, 24 Hour<br />

Fitness, and Accenture rounding out the top 10. On Twitter, the leaders<br />

are CME Group, CBOE, American Express – our deep dive choice,<br />

Tepco, Live Nation, Ticketmaster, Vanguard, Comcast Digital Care<br />

Center, DirecTV and Accenture.<br />

Brands in the services industry register much smaller followings than their counterparts in retail and<br />

sports. This is not a huge shock; there is less up-to-the-minute excitement occurring for some of the<br />

brands below. In this section, we’ll share how the Farmers Insurance connects with their audience on<br />

Facebook and how American Express builds strong connections on Twitter.<br />

The services brands with the largest followings may have fewer than our other categories, but that<br />

hasn’t impacted their engagement rates. By and large, they are consistent with the others.<br />
