Social Strategy: Sade Bowen
My Approach:
The approach involved conducting interviews with the client, in collaboration with our social media manager, to capture her travel stories and extensive background as a backpacking hiker and successful business owner. This information was compiled into a Tone of Voice document, presenting the proposed tone for her social media presence and overall strategy. Connections were established with like-minded influencers and community-based groups to build her community and increase engagement.
Taking charge of creative direction for video and photoshoots at Shenandoah National Park, a cohesive and captivating visual narrative was ensured for her brand. Templates were created for the client to announce newly hiked national parks, program updates, and hiking tips, resulting in a cohesive and professional look for her social media posts while saving time and effort in content creation. These efforts contributed to the success of the short-form storytelling approach, effectively resonating on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube.
