Social Media Study | Chanel




A Study on Chanel’s Social Media Presence


Chanel, a brand who offers high-end luxury clothes and accessories, has a high presence on selected social media networks. As with many of their products, their lipstick collection is widespread. This extensive collection is often promoted on social media as a daring beauty essential for everyday life. By analyzing their social networks, I hope to understand Chanel’s social media strategy.


Chanel’s social profile consists of:

Facebook page - 16, 140, 341 likes

Twitter page - 11.4 million followers

Instagram page - 10.6 million followers

YouTube channel - 532, 450 subscribers
Google + page - 2, 181, 978 followers



When comparing luxury brands, Chanel is one of the most visible brands on social media. They post frequently on all their networks, with Facebook being their most effective media platform. They currently have 16 million followers on their Facebook page and post everyday, sometimes several times a day. They use each of their social media networks to promote their brand and generate interest through campaigns, new product collections hitting the market, and their rich history. They have well known celebrities endorsing their products such as Nicole Kidman and well known models featured on their media campaigns such as Kendal Jenner. 

From observing each social media network, I have found that consumer feedback has been more often positive than negative. They have a high number of followers and likes on each network, with Twitter and Instagram having 10+ million followers. I believe Chanels social media strategy is strong because they have effectively gained a large number of strong and loyal followers by posting relevant and interesting content. Most importantly they have successfully created a social culture that appeals to their target market. They have presented themselves as an exclusive brand, they currently don't follow anyone on any other their social networks. The only suggestion I would have is for them to interact more with their audience by answering some of their customer’s comments on their networks.
