#Nottstober

Brief

To plan, deliver and evaluate a national social media campaign for the 2016 October Festival.

Shake Social were successful in winning the tender for this high profile campaign, and worked in partnership with the Council’s communications & marketing team and Experience Nottinghamshire on a communications and marketing campaign designed to attract overnight visitors to Nottingham during the month of October to enjoy the wide range of festivals and events.

Solution

As a result of our strategic planning and campaign building, we exceeded all targets set, with social media reach increasing by over 500% from 2015.

We implemented an engaging multi-platform approach in line with campaign branding that focused on data collection, competition entries and encouraging visitors to spend more whilst in the city. Over half a million people attended events during the month of October as a result.

‘The whole team were a pleasure to work with – friendly, professional and helpful, liaising with numerous partners across the city on our behalf. Shake reported on performance throughout the campaign, constantly refining activity to achieve the best results. All targets for the social media campaign were exceeded.’
