Brief

We know hospitality marketing like the back of our pint, so when UK brand Miller and Carter approached us to create social media awareness and drive conversions for their latest dining occasion, we knew exactly what to do.

We needed to immerse their customers in date night indulgence, create content to build anticipation and encourage engagement, and create a hashtag worth sharing.

Approach

We recognised the need to use a combined approach of paid, owned, and earned social media content to engage with both new and existing followers and that we'd need to develop some technological innovations to firmly establish the event on the digital map (we passed that baton to our development team).

We know the power of providing guests with compelling incentives to generate excitement and noise on our behalf, so it wasn't long before our social team had compiled a list of must-haves and #Thursdate was born.

Solution

We created a Facebook Instant Experience ad to immerse people in the indulgence of the occasion and to replicate the act of organising a date night. A campaign-specific messenger bot was developed to help people discover the menu in an engaging way.

We retargeted customers who engaged but didn't book a table and published a competition to Instagram to get those all-important photos of date nights, rewarding with gift cards to drive reach and awareness. We leveraged our influencer know-how to drive awareness further and used Instagram Stories to document #Thursdates in real-time.
Through social listening, we engaged in the right conversations and sourced UGC specific to the campaign.
