MARKETING CASE STUDY

tactical social media campaign

As part of an action plan to target international business our client Croke Park Meetings & Events decided to exhibit at IMEX with the objective of building awareness of its unique facilities for a global MICE audience. Shortly before the show Croke Park Meetings & Events found themselves light on scheduled appointments and needed to act. Together we created a campaign where visitors to the booth could win a VIP trip to Ed Sheeran at Croke Park by accumulating re-tweets or likes of pictures of themselves in colourful Gaelic jerseys.

1. objective

Stimulate trade booth traffic, generate face-to-face meetings, grow revenues

2. target audience

3. Activation

We used Twitter and Facebook to promote the competition and attract planners to the Croke Park Meetings & Events booth; at the booth contestants uploaded pictures of themselves wearing GAA county jersey and then solicited likes and re-tweets.

Over the 4 days of the campaign over 170,000 Twitter impressions were achieved along with a coveted spot in the IMEX Daily newspaper. Unscheduled meetings with twenty-two buyers were also generated €135,000 for a modest campaign investment of investment of €2500.
