For those who missed it, last month our creative team got extra festive and turned all of our social media accounts into a spooky countdown. Titled “#ByteofHalloween2015,” this campaign was a way to engage with our followers, get creative, and have fun! Here’s a peak behind the curtain.

But first, let me take a selfie!

An Idea is Hatched

We knew we wanted to create something for our audience that was unique, spooky, and from a design perspective, visually pleasing. We also wanted to engage with the community so we planned to feature local businesses like Oakshire and Sweet Life into our shots. Our first rule: have fun with it. And so we did! We pooled together some costumes, props, our creative brains (and of course some local beer!), and began shooting photos.

Details, Details

A good social media campaign pays attention to detail. Good thing we had our photographer on site, because man so much goes into getting a good photograph! After drafting shots, we pieced together costumes and staged photos, all with the big picture in mind.

Why #ByteofHalloween2015?

We like play on words almost as much as we like our hashtag, #ByteMe. Just like you would take a bite out of a Sizzle Pie pizza, we wanted to take a bite out of Halloween. We wanted to combine our branding with Halloween so #ByteofHalloween was born. And we dig it!

 

Why do a social media campaign?

You might still be wondering, what’s the point of doing a social media campaign? Campaigns like these are a great way to keep your social media accounts active and engaging. When you do something repeated like this countdown, it encourages followers to keep checking back. During #ByteofHalloween2015 the activity on our social media accounts was higher than ever before! Other benefits of doing a social media campaign include higher inbound traffic, better SEO rankings, increased brand recognition, and more. Stay on top of your social media by hiring an online marketing team like Hatchbytes!
