Challenge

ZAO Organic Makeup approached us with the intentions of finally getting their social media channels to a level that they could be proud of. Before working with us, ZAO was embarrassed to send potential or even current customers to their Facebook page because it was completely disorganized, had no fans and frankly looked abandoned. ZAO not only wanted to use their social media channels as a great branding outlet, but they also wanted to take advantage of the different advertising options available to drive more sales to their makeup business.

512+ High Quality Posts, Complete Re-Brand, 8,000+ Organic Makeup Buyers Reached Monthly.

Approach

When our team began to brainstorm strategies for ZAO Organic Makeup, the first deliverable in line was to completely re-brand their social media channels. ZAO originally had no cover photos on their channels, they were all disorganized with mis-matching images and color schemes. To clean up their presence and keep everything congruent across all channels, we updated all of their social media channels with a more modern feel.

The next course of action consisted of implementing a strong content strategy that would receive a large amount of organic reach and engagement. ZAO did not have additional advertising budget to work with so we knew we needed to create high quality pieces of content that would trigger some strong virality within our target market. After performing a strong channel analysis we recognized that ZAO had a great chance to drive strong exposure through Google+. Our team devised a Google+ community sharing strategy that would drastically increase ZAO’s reach overall.
