The Role of Brand Voice in Social Media at Chobani

“Being one step ahead has been a huge asset to Chobani in the digital space.” As social media strategist for the Greek yogurt giant, Ashley Butler has been around for most of the brand’s meteoric rise. It’s hard to believe that Chobani has only been around since 2007. Ashley tells us about building the brand online and off and the role that digital media has played on this week’s episode of On Brand.

About Ashley Butler

Ashley Butler is the Social Media Strategist at Chobani (Note: I referenced her previous title of “Brand Voice Manager” on the podcast recording). In this role she manages engagement across all Chobani digital platforms, shaping voice and tone for the brand along the way. Butler edits and produces content on a daily basis. She works on the social strategy for the Greek yogurt brand’s high profile campaigns including the Super Bowl, Oscars, and Olympics. Butler also serves as crisis leader for the entire Brand Communications team, planning for recalls and other high intensity situations.

A self described “passionate social media and digital marketing nerd,” Ashley is seasoned in community building, digital engagement, social content, and has had experience in crisis communications.

When asked what makes her tick she says — writing, social campaigns and disruptive activations, and culture — not just the yogurt kind.
