EXECUTION – SOCIAL MEDIA, PAID MEDIA & COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT
With challenging circumstances surrounding the product delivery timeline, Apption Labs turned to GreenRoom’s social team for a solution to combat negative commentary on the page. To improve the sentiment among Apption Labs’ crowdfunding backers and generate goodwill between the brand and its growing fanbase, GreenRoom identified the need for social media brand champions—real-life users who could give real-life testimony to the quality of the product.
GreenRoom launched the #MEATERmade campaign, a user-generated content campaign that showcases photo submissions from MEATER chefs all over the globe on the brand’s social channels. Across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the #MEATERmade campaign was consistently the highest engaged content on the channels.
GreenRoom monitored both inbound and outbound messaging around the #MEATERmade campaign, watching for engagement patterns within each of our targeted audience segments that may indicate preferences in content, subject matter or format (like a taste for rare red meats). We then used this information to inform our creative selections across all pillars, including leveraging mobile app data and recipe content. Employing thoughtful analysis of the types of content our target audiences respond best to and interact most with on their feeds, GreenRoom was able to more effectively engage potential MEATER customers. Engagements skyrocketed from just from 816 in October 2017 to 19,907 in September 2018.
The GreenRoom team capitalized on this spike in engagements to increase organic fan growth on the channel. To that end, the team sent personalized communications and manual Page Invitations to each user who interacted positively with MEATER’s content, encouraging strong bonds to form between the consumer and the brand. This organic growth strategy, supplemented by community-building ads informed by the top-performing post creative, led to a sharp increase in growth on the channels.
MEATER’s design aesthetic stays true to the brand while accounting for the changes in season to maintain high engagement rates with our fans. The GreenRoom team was challenged with creating content that married our audience’s desire to see mouthwatering recipe images with informative, product-focused content that speaks to MEATER’s functionality. The creative and digital team executes monthly photoshoots, creating seasonal images and videos that include strong product messaging alongside beautifully cooked meals for inclusion in both organic and paid media strategies.
