THE CHALLENGE
The Wisconsin Beef Council needed to drive maximum mass awareness and audience engagement while working within strict budgetary confines. The Conduit Social Team was tasked to accomplish this at each available opportunity, inspiring us to dig deeper into creativity and platform knowledge to deliver the results they were looking for.
​​THE SOLUTION
OBJECTIVE 1
DRIVE SOCIAL LIKES
We started by reviewing the Beef Council’s existing social efforts. After noticing a pattern of infrequent posting, content that didn’t drive engagement, and slow organic growth, we decided to implement an approach where we posted regularly with content that ranged from helpful recipes to humorous visuals.
To engage the audience, we implemented a Share the Recipe campaign. This allowed the client to showcase many delicious beef recipes to promote their unique value to their community.
OBJECTIVE 2
DRIVE ENGAGED WEBSITE TRAFFIC
The client was driving significant traffic to their website, but the overwhelming majority of these sessions bounced. We decided to align our social strategy with the right messaging on the website to direct visitors to relevant pages.
