Now let’s take a look at Chipolte Corporate and see if there were any possible connections from the above brand expansion and viral results and Chipolte’s sales results. Here is the trading chart and operating results of the most recent 4th quarter.

For those unfamiliar with reading a technical trading chart, allow me to interpret the quarterly results:

These are amazing results from anyone’s perspective, Social Guru or Investor alike!!

Stay tuned for the next wave of digital promotion from Chipolte as they have announced the Launch of “Farmed and Dangerous” on February 17th only on Hulu and Hulu plus. Looks like the organic/fresh message is no longer just a marketing tagline, they are preparing to take it to the industry that for years has sold products of questionable quality. (Per Chipolte)

Now there certainly were many factors contributing to the success of Chipolte in the latest quarter. Steve Ellis the founder and Chairman however did say in his discussion with analysts, that part of their financial success came in the form of reduced marketing expenses. Hmmm, could it be that free social marketing and digital content could have a place in profit creation? This writer would argue that the answer would be a big “YES”
