Background:

One of the most innovative, luxury haircare companies wanted to step up their social media presence. They needed a dedicated team to re-invent their social content, launch a scalable influencer campaign, improve social advertising, takeover social community management, and execute creative, large scale campaigns.

Challenge:

Create a social media presence representative of their brand in terms of size, quality, appearance and innovation, while also increasing sales.

Tactics:

Devon Victoria Communications took over all aspects of their social media and revamped it from top to bottom. Beginning with an audit and strategy, we then used our learnings to optimize the social media channels; establish a new on-brand visual aesthetic; coordinate influencers, creators and designers to develop hundreds of usable social media images and videos; establish a strategic monthly calendar of daily posts; launch new prospecting, re-targeting and dynamic ad campaigns; improve social shopping and implement a shoppable Instagram gallery on the brand website; develop a new social media customer service process; and innovate and execute contests and IRL campaigns. (Amongst so much more!)

Background:

Auberge Resorts Collection, rated one of the world's best hotel brands, and a leader in the luxury space, wanted to create a social media presence to complement their unique personal experiences. While they were active in social channels and had a loyal fan base, they were looking to expand their strategy to drive engagement and advocacy.

Challenge:

Express the individuality of each property, increase awareness, and use social media to add value to the guest experience.

Tactics:

Our engagement began in 2017 where we managed a subset of hotels for the company. We started with an audit of the current social channels and the competitive landscape. We identified what Auberge guests wanted to hear on social media, and the best ways to connect and communicate with them. Using these findings, combined with Auberge's key messaging, we developed a content creation process to increase the efficiency of each social media post - resulting in an authentic, thoughtful and consistent communication that inspired fans to share. We employed dedicated engagement tactics to encourage on-going conversations in social media comments that inspire brand loyalty and word-of-mouth marketing, and continually analyzed trends to inform our ongoing efforts.

Results:

+61% Facebook
+147% Twitter
+670% Instagram

Warner Design Associates, one of the first firms to specialize in senior living interior design, desired a digital presence that reflected their leadership in the industry.

Challenge:

Establish thought leadership and build relationships with current and potential clients in the digital space.
