8. HOW WE GOT HERE
Spring of 2015, Spoke at a Local Event PRLA, about Social
Media
A few weeks later we are at Victory Brewing
End of June 2015 we started a year long Engagement with
Victory Brewing and their Marketing Team
Wrapped up in July 2016
Took a pause to digest a lot of what we learned and where we
would improve with Craft Beer Social Media
Decided that in the 2nd half of 2017 we would start to market our
Services to the Craft Beer Community

that reason, you need create live content when the opportunity
presents itself, adding these pieces into the mix.
• Allows you to review content strategy weekly/monthly to provide
edits, approvals, and additions to the plan.
29. WEEKLY AND MONTHLY ANALYTICS
• Is measuring engagement the number one metric for you?
• Great, then this becomes the focal point of our analytics, taking a look at avg
engagement month over month, and digging deeper into why the top posts were so
stellar ( and why others weren’t so impressive).
• You need to look at everything in a Report Card
• You look at organic and paid social growth month over month to determine which
content and advertising strategies are working best
• You also review video views and reach on social posts to learn which style of content
your audience likes most.
• Take notes and share screen shots of what’s working and not working to help reveal
where to expand or scale back.
Which metrics are most important to your Brand?
Once we’ve nailed them down then
we’ll really be moving fast to your goals.

33. STRATEGY AROUND GAINING FOLLOWERS AND
INTERACTION WITH FOLLOWERS
Each social community will have their own unique growth
strategy. As channels change, so may these strategies.
• Facebook:
• Social Advertising: Page “like” ads, targeted promoted post ads, and custom audience ads.
• Custom Engaging content: When posts are spot on (ad spend doesn’t hurt), your audience will
share, comment, and tag others.
• Instagram:
• Hashtag Outreach: Bad Rhino can locate pictures and profiles with large audiences and add your
Beer to the conversation. Also follow profiles where it’s appropriate.
• Custom Engaging Content: Similar to above, content with high engagement will drive growth.
• Twitter:
• Hashtag Outreach: locate conversations in ideal to engage in conversations. You can also follow
where appropriate.
• Social Advertising: We’d suggest a larger budget on Facebook, but Twitter follower ads can be
useful for ensuring a certain number of followers to the account each month on top of the organic
push.
ALL OF THE ABOVE: Flash contests like caption contests or large-scale social contests like a photo contest
with voting to increase channel exposure as well as emails and web traffic
34. PAID SOCIAL ADS GOALS & GROWTH EXPECTATIONS
Facebook:
• Current Likes: 49,113
• Example Growth: 8,000 to 10,000 targeted likes
• Using a budget of $3,000 monthly specifically used for targeted “likes”
• Example cost per click of .35* X $100 daily spend = Approximately
9,000 “likes” per month
• Results in Approximately 20% monthly increase
*The goal is ultimately to receive a cost per like of .10 to .15. This would be a highly targeted group
of college students. After testing of the ad budget and learning what works best, we feel
comfortable in attaining this. This would result in potentially 30,000 “likes” per month.
Instagram:
• Current Likes: 74,900
• Example Growth: 5-7% monthly growth
• Further clarification needed through discovery and audit to come up with
accurate ad strategy and expectation.
• Bad Rhino will highlight specific Instagram posts with paid engagement ads
and has access to tools to increase exposure, following, and activity on
Instagram.
