SWOT Analysis
BMW
Mercedes-Benz
Strengths
Active and consistent presence on all main social media platforms

Portray a brand image that is very appealing for the target audience
Weaknesses
Low engagement on social media relative to competitors (do they want to engage..?)

Relatively small amount of followers on professional networks (e.g. LinkedIn)
Opportunities
Room for improvement on Twitter and LinkedIn

Continue focus on future and on sustainable energy (way to reach our generation that will soon- hopefully- be able to purchase these cars)

Threats
Increasing competition from Japanese luxury brands (ex. Lexus)

Rapidly changing social media environment- will a 'classic' brand such as BMW remain relevant?
Focus on promoting brand image and stunning images of vehicles -> Facebook & Twitter

Focus on increasing conversion rates -> LinkedIn
