OUR APPROACH
Establish a substantial following
To make their presence on the platform known and further the effectiveness of their organic content, we strived to ensure the account had a significant following. We accomplished this by running a TikTok Ads campaign with a follower growth objective to attract users who already expressed interest in cooking and grilling to join the Weber community.
Take advantage of summer as prime grilling season
Acknowledging the popularity of grilling during the summer season, especially on holidays, we ran campaigns for both Memorial Day and the Fourth of July with the goal of expanding reach and increasing brand awareness. Targeting a broad audience that expressed interest in both cooking/grilling and holidays/hosting, each advertisement directed users to patriotic recipes on the Weber Sauces & Seasonings’ website.
Ensure our videos are being seen outside of our following
In addition to running seasonal campaigns and maintaining a strong organic presence on the Weber Sauces & Seasonings’ account by uploading consistently, we strategically boost each post in an evergreen awareness campaign to ensure every piece of content is reaching a notable amount of users.
